@thepaperpilot um... it looks like kbin.social doesn't federate with incremental.social and i can't subscribe to it yet?

oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

i'm a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
i don't have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
hopefully developers will add a "join Matrix room" button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i'll actually finish it now that there's a community i can share it with.

Without Microsoft, TypeScript would not exist.

I'm not sure you are aware, but TypeScript is not the first language to compile to JavaScript.

Without TypeScript, people would have adopted a different JS transpiler, one that isn't controlled by a monopolistic corporation with a history of extinguishing open source projects.

You shouldn't pick on him.
Picking scabs isn't healthy.

Stockholm Syndrome isn't a real thing.

“Stockholm Syndrome” was invented by police to discredit a female hostage

If the prime minister told me "You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post" I wouldn't trust the authorities either. Being a bank teller shouldn't mean you have to die for your employer or for the police.

Where's the E?

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they're both good wayland software, though

"Oriya’s Kiki"? Do you mean Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, mascot of Krita, designed by Tyson Tan?
Who's Oriya?

People have been saying some variant of "the fediverse won't work at scale if it stays free and without ads" for a decade now. And yet it keeps growing despite remaining free and without ads.

it would be great if they measured the results of opt1_idiomatic with _ => unreachable!(). In theory the compiler would optimize that better than _ => 0.
