The custodian of the Museum of ZZT, Dr. Dos, just spent over 170 dollars to secure a set of ZZT floppies, potentially containing not-yet-preserved initial releases of its registered worlds! If that's something you care about, please consider pledging support for his writing, streams and programming on the Museum of ZZT Patreon:

The ZZT community means a lot to me, so I will be grateful if you support his efforts at keeping it going.

@Patricia thanks! Will do a read through and put more thoughts into it later 🙂

@Patricia I know I'm still describing a gulf between our experiences, but in your bespoke coat analogy, the training I give teammates on kanban & flow, we teach folks (including a similar hands on activity) to be the bespoke coat people.

I'm still worried that you're describing a version of kanban or flow that is different than what I understand or have learned.

@Patricia Heard, it sounds like you've had negative experiences with both kanban and flow (I haven't experienced the team topologies book, personally) ...

Some of the things you called out as opposing it (costs of sharing software being low, need to make something good with customers being critical), I have understood as key parts of what kanban is supporting, but I don't want to lean too far here into Mastodon Contrarian, and I'm definitely sorry you've had those experiences!

@Patricia If it makes you feel better about lean development, good books on the subject do acknowledge those differences and try to elucidate them, I like the book "Flow" for example

@discatte is there a bedrock edition

@ProphetZarquon I didn't add multiplayer (though now I want to play a Chess battle royale...), but I did just add a few extra levels!

@ProphetZarquon yeah, absolutely, I also considered making it so you could push pieces or walls, though I'd need to add a "reset" button somewhere

@dansinker absolutely love mine, though my wife's mainboard died and the support experience has been a slog

Setting up home-assistsnt on my old framework laptop turned into a home automation PC, what else should I install on this?

It's frustrating how many organisations are still using Twitter to announce important info to the public. There is no way for most people to see this info! Most people aren't on Twitter, and Twitter now requires a sign-on just to view profiles.

If you want to announce stuff to the public, the only way to make sure it's visible to everyone is to use your own website, your own blog, your own social media server. Anyone with an internet connection can see them.

@collinsworth plus, their analytics can't even track mastodon discourse 😔

A semi-playable Doom demo I built for #FrontEndConf using CSS scroll timeline, a handful of checkboxes and has() selectors + a nice assist from image-rendering: pixelated.

Oh and no JS, as god intended.
