I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Here is a milestone I have been working towards for a while. A stake in the ground, a line in the sand. The tiles know things about each other and fit together based on a seed... #gamedev #indiedev #blender #unrealengine #saturdayscreenshot #tilesformiles

Adding corner values has thrown a spanner into the works, but has also produced a flurry of debug op-art. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #c++ #tilesformiles #aotearoa #wildstyle
A grey maze with incorrectly rotated tiles in various places and a colourful arrangement of squares highlighting one tile, it's edge states and neighbours A colourful maze, with some diagonal paths, sometimes crossing over each other. A colourful maze with sub tiles all displaying the state of their edges with little green and red lines representing an open and closed edge or corners respectively

Sometimes I feel like taking a break from this stuff and making some art, HOWEVER I seem to be pretty close to a milestone: having the beginnings of my level layout system working.

Debugging transfer of edge states from my main grid path to the sub tiles and preparing for mesh layout trials. #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #tilesformiles #blocktober
A pink path winds through a grid of 6 by 6 tiles Green connections join many of the tiles, linking the denser sub grid in a way that mirrors the pink path in image one

Trying to remember two (sorta trippy) documentary films I saw in the 2000s(?) by a NZ filmmaker based in Japan. They both dealt with the emergence of a kind of animist digital culture: the internet as a spirit world & other weird fascinating ideas. Anyone know these films (or who made them)?

This took a while. I don't know where I am heading from here, but I feel like I learned some things. #drones #resistance #humanart #vanlife #krita
A chunky green van with a big segmented windscreen is driving fast away from a floating drone that fires a bolt of blue energy past it. The landscape is full of broken concrete.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Carbon capture remains a boondoggle. Betting the national climate plan on it was always absurd.
eloisegibson.bsky.social Eloise Gibson @eloisegibson.bsky.social · May 18
A third of the carbon savings in the Government's climate plan for the next four years rested on one carbon capture project.

That project is not currently feasible, says the company which was supposed to do it.
