Host of the Linux Lads podcast by night, tech worker drone by day.

I'm most interested in open sourcey, Linuxy, and hacky ways to be creative with computers. Weird music, crazy visuals, silly words and loud noises et al are my kinda thing. Manageably neurodivergent.

Dublin, Ireland.

@automatomato @linuxlads Follow up question though. Does it import an OPML file? My whole idea was to have my OPML file living on my desktop with a periodic rsync call updating it on a few devices.

@automatomato @linuxlads This is great news! I was over here trying to learn Lua to write my own plugin for KOReader.

@aks I found this more funny than I thought I would

So should I start teaching my daughter how to fletch arrows or what because I don't know how to do that myself

I can see in my minds eye all the YouTube video titles since the Iran attack:
"Top diplomat warns of WORLD WAR 3"
"Insider gives CHILLING warning of global war"
"What they DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW about Iran"

@aras This is interesting reading. Do you have an RSS feed for your blog?

@awfulwoman We take the night in shifts. I'd be up late anyway so I always do the first one haha.

While I'm in a ranty mood: GO AWAY GROUND NEWS. It's bothsiderism turned into a fucking startup.

I really really need just one politician to say what we're all thinking. Drop an f-bomb if you need to. I would vote so hard for the first person to say out loud in a debate the words "greedy fascist assholes".

@rottedmood Thanks dude!

@Kaution It's kinda scary that a man who has ostensibly "won" capitalism can be so desperate for kudos. Such a sad individual.

A great tip for new #godot devs is to not get sucked into a YouTube tutorial feedback loop. Start within your skill level and build upon your experience. Make a square move across the screen then rinse and repeat until you get bored. Use videos to get started and learn the ropes but don't rely on them entirely.

When you don't understand something go straight to the docs. Read them for leisure before you sleep. I recommend the GDscript style guide in particular:
docs.godotengine.org/en/stable

Any #godot communities I could join to sharpen my skills and share tips and tricks? Father to a newborn so socialising IRL is complicated right now. I don't mind using Discord if I have to. #gamedev

State-sponsored genocide is apparently not as much of a priority.

Keep it up lads. You're doing great if you're pissing them off this much.

I love #Godot but boy does node inheritance break my brain. I spent far too long last night rejigging my camera movement after I changed some seemingly unrelated things. It's still not really working properly. I have much to learn...

@felimwhiteley Mad respect for playing that riff in a massive dinosaur costume AND nailing a cheeky pinch harmonic. I can barely play it in a t-shirt.

I'm creating a space-based story-driven RPG(ish). Think FTL meets The Expanse. Here's some super early prototype gameplay.

Made in Godot game engine with assets created in Blender.

@jameshowell @shom Haha you're literally describing the origins of Linux Lads.

@ryansingel I really hate thinking like this but any time I read the news I just think "Can this bastards McDonalds diet just finish the damn job already?!"
