Oh damn, I've been a huge proponent of S230, but this is suddenly making me reconsider, lol.

@ThinkingSapien Yeah, iirc, Mike Masnick had a pretty good breakdown of how the new warning was in direct contradiction to the evidence put out by the same attorney general's office.

I would really love to, some day, make an epic video game that draws from the cool parts of Catholic lore (think Dante's Inferno and celestial wars) and where the ultimate twist is (spoiler alert for a game that will probably never get made...) that the "Satan" of this world is the original God, cast down to Hell and driven insane when Lucifer led his successful rebellion and assumed the throne of God for himself.

@ThinkingSapien That's crazy. Even if it is happening, the occasional bullying on social media where you have a block button is vastly outweighed by the benefit young LGBTQ people get by finding inclusive and supportive communities when the real world offers them nothing but sorrow and fear.

@ThinkingSapien Miles better than bans, but still kinda messed up to put a warning label on something we don't know is bad.

@OldAndCranky My great grandfather lived to be over a hundred and till the day he died, he had a weekly hard-drinking cigar-smoking poker game.

Do whatever works for ya!

@Oliviastarstuff That's okay, it's wrong anyway. 🤦‍♂️ 😆 Sorry, I was thinking of a different, but similar problem.

Your issue can be solved by tracking the time variable separately.

Instead of multiplying by the frequency by the time value when you feed them into the sin wave, store your own separate timer value and when you increment it each frame, multiply that increment by the frequency.

That way it will retain a consistent state between update frames, regardless of any jumps in frequency/timescale.

@MIfoodie Nice, what did you use to scan?

I haven't done a game jam since college, but I'm seriously considering entering this one.

@Oliviastarstuff If it helps, I've solved that exact problem before by treating the input as a radial angle (-pi to pi) instead of a linear input (time). Once the input is essentially a closed-loop circle, it becomes pretty easy to interpolate properly between two points.

Setting up this filter was oddly comforting, like peeling a sunburn.

Just blocked the NYT, Lenscrafters, and about a dozen political candidates from emailing my server. If they try, they'll get a simple failure message: "Fuck off spambot"

@blitter I can only speak for myself, but when I find myself heteronormalizing around straight people, it's usually to avoid becoming further marginalized.

I think we do it as a defense mechanism. The gayer we seem, the more likely they are to try to take away our rights.

@blitter Same reason a mouse can only be themselves when not in the presence of cats.

@kagan I cannot wait until a judge orders Louisiana schools to also host the commandments of scientology and satanism in line with our constitution.
