@Gargron @cohentheblue you replaced that code? good on you.

@dysfun @cohentheblue No, since November 2025 it is not.

I'm looking for a PC game I played over a decade ago. It's basically a tetris engine, which you can mod to use different size polyominos (dominos, triominos, tetrominos etc) and different rulesets. I used it to practice standard tetris but I think it could run a Puyo Puyo with dominos ruleset as well.

~~The game used a flat black background and minos were also black with colored outlines, I think.~~

Edit: I found it! It's NullpoMino!

Laid down at 8:30p last night because my tummy hurt, didn’t wake up at all until 9:30a. I usually wake up with the sun, so this was a shock. I guess I needed 13 hrs of sleep because I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, but I missed 2 meetings in the process. Now absolutely exhausted at 11:30p, but I’m setting at alarm this time so I don’t oversleep again.

I understand there’s voracious demand for information about the tools that your boss is going to either fire you for not using ro fire you for using too much or fire you because you’re being replaced with it, and I don’t begrudge the shows for listening to their audiences, but I just want something else for people like me

before anybody starts fighting in the replies, please note that I am not saying “stop making these shows” or “I demand you cater to my preferences”. I just want something to poke the neural pathways that might inspire some programming later while I am doing the dishes, the laundry, exercising, driving, or any one of the many tedious administrative tasks that seem to dominate my existence, and I find it exhausting to have positive coverage of stuff that grosses me out keep autoplaying

finally going through my podcast player and unsubscribing from every show where 3 or more of the last 5 episodes have featured positive or credulous coverage of LLMs.

I now subscribe to zero programming podcasts that have published an episode in the last 2 months.

is there *any* python podcast that isn’t completely lost in the sauce right now?

For anyone I follow: I recommend being aware of common signs of AI use, e.g. 404 Media has an AI Poster Wall of Shame and Wikipedia has a set of AI writing tells. I've personally noticed that slop websites tend to like their rounded-corner boxes and often (but not always) monospace fonts. AI code is weird and muddled (but human code can be too), what is much rarer for humans to do is start embedding em/en dashers or arrow characters (→) in the source (this is different from literary em-dashes, a lot of real writers like to use them). Or when a lot of things someone creates have a very similar and very AI-esque style (it's normal for AI patterns to be occasionally used but for them to be used everywhere is a lot more suspect). The biggest tell for me is simply admitting to LLM usage, not necessarily for that particular project but talking a lot about using it in general or finding assisted commits in repos (https://slopscan.ava.pet/ is your friend).

I'm not going to yell at people for boosting these slop projects because it's rude and saps my energy but I do mute/unfollow people and hide boosts for it. It breaks me a little when I see a slop project get popular because I put a lot of work into making my stuff 100% human and seeing other people use an AI to slop stuff out feels as personal as watching someone get away with plagiarism.

Of course I can't tell every AI usage and I can't expect everyone else to, and I'm aware of the issues surrounding false positives (and I wish there were better ways to tell if something is actually human 😭). But please at least do a background check of the stuff you share
