Post Whenever got a few of quality of life improvements.

But first, a distraction. On a side tangent, Submatrix now has a Luanti server. It's basically an open source minecraft. We are setup with the Asuna variant of the game. Simply join the asuna.submatrix.net server with your client.

Back to Post Whenever improvements.

The most basic improvement is that the delete button now works! But besides that four more buttons were added. They allow you to move items around. Up one, down one, to the top, or to the bottom.

When new items are added to the whenever queue, their natural order is the order they were added in. Pretty reasonable. Sliders let you pick if items are posted from your queue in FIFO, LIFO, or random order, and you can select a mix if you want. But that did not allow you to retroactively prioritize a specific item. Now it is easy to push an item to one side of the stack or another, thus prioritizing it or de-prioritizing it.

Let me know what other features you want.

I'm super thrilled about re-ordering the queue!

Yay for delete button working! I've accidentally posted duplicates many times. I forget how.

Maybe I'm a graphic snob, but one big turn off for me is the lo-rez voxels. I do love good pixel art. It's been a long time since Minecraft was originated but they haven't "zoomed out" or "scaled down" to have better resolution. Is that a thing? I know it would actually take a lot more work for folks to "draw" in finer detail, but IMO it could be worth it. I suspect it may be too late for your server, but perhaps it might be worth trying a different "resolution" on another instance? Is that even a thing?

TIL: Minecraft (2025) the movie. Any good? 2nd best game-movie sales ever.

The only games I've ever been curious about since 1993: Myst, Spore, Fez. Not sure how much time I could give to gaming - I often feel like I'm behind on everything else already, including chasing income.

Not sure how it would play out, but it might be fun to develop a conspiracy game and/or resistance/voluntaryist game.
