Writing games and doing math. Call me Jens or Neon. Remember to floss!
#introductions I heard the hot new thing is writing a new intro post.
I make videogames, study math, and frequently write bad posts on the federated social medias. I'm also posting from my island of solitude, moe.neon.moe, so if you're a gamedev, @ me so I can fav your screenshots.
I love/hate having ideas when I'm tired. I love it because they're most inspiring and amazing ideas I ever get, but they also always get shut down by grumpy morning me the day after.

@monorail
you may think you have defated me
you've broken every rule, crossed every line
but I have studied every single board
every permutation
every. possible. turn.
I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED

If I wanted to run my Mastodon instance without the frontend, how would I go about it? Disable the mastodon-web service? Like, I use Mastodon through Pinafore and Mastalab anyway, and I kinda want to just write my own custom thing for / and /@neon.
Do you like flowers or relaxing #pixelart games? Then check out Flower Magic, my (first!) #PICO8 game!
Plant seeds, tend your flowers while they grow, and watch the seasons change over time. You can try to master the crossbreeding mechanic, discover how to grow all four Magic Flowers, or just relax with arranging your flowers.
The game is free with a pay-what-you-want option and is playable in your web browser, or with downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Proper release time for another incomplete jam thing 
Here's my sand castle generator for #procjam: https://nc.itch.io/sandcastles
The actual generation code is practically nonexistent, so the castles will tend to look very similar, which is the part I'm most unhappy with. But it's something, so here it is.
Hey Fediverse! Have you published a game that you wouldn't mind having someone stream for a few hours? If so, let me know and I'll buy a copy, then set up a time to stream it. Let me know if I can help you out!
I made a thing for #procjam! Procedurally generated roguelike dungeon overviews, complete with annotations warning you of dangerous enemies. Try it at https://lokkij.itch.io/dungeon-overview-generator
The best way to use computers is to rely only on software that is open source, 100% hardware agnostic, and eternal, existing apart from space and time
Thinking about trying to follow along with Handmade Hero again. It's just, so time consuming. But I want to learn good things. But time. But learning. Butts.
in a nutshell, it's about autonomy. it's about social media autonomy for every person on the planet. all 7.6 billion of us. nobody else telling us to do, what to say, and nobody else forcing us to see things we don't want to see.
this means Pleroma is being built for an entirely new scale of fediverse: one with billions of nodes. it's also why Pleroma supports alternative transports such as TOR and I2P out of the box.
it also is a major differentiator between Pleroma and Mastodon. in the Mastodon model, there's maybe a few million islands which host a few thousand people each. to contrast, in our model, everyone who wants to host their own instance does so. that means everyone can choose to have total social media freedom.
but it's not just social media, we also intend to use the same underlying tech to enable real-time communications with the same capabilities as the social media side of things.
and it's universal: different frontends for different preferences. like Mastodon but don't have the resources to run it? use Pleroma with Mastodon frontend and apps. like GNU social? Pleroma's default frontend was modelled after it. like diaspora* but want to talk to your fediverse friends? use Feather. like the alternative Mastodon frontends like Pinafore and Brutaldon? they work too.
hate spam and harrassment? we have a mostly as yet untapped framework called MRF which can be leveraged to automate moderation of an instance.
want to modify it? drop by #pleroma on freenode and we help with that too.

It seems like Firefox crashes once I toggle open the video in this post (which I'm replying to). I wonder why
