As of late I am deeply conflicted about 😿

  • I love the design philosophy; I think it's [one of / the] best libre 3D-capable engine out there. I use it and promote it.
  • I've learned shocking things about reduz (Juan Linietsky) that made me really sad and I don't trust him in regards to money and power within the project.

I don't want to go into specifics, because it won't fit a toot.

Don't downplay "haters" without evaluating their points.

Any electronics hackers?

I got this cheap portable video light, and it comes with some preset light animations.

This has a USB-C port, maybe it exposes something more than power?

Maybe it'd be possible to get access to this thing's underlying software and reprogram it? ;)

Any Windows Power Users here?

Is there any FOSS for Windows 10 that isn't super slow and unreliable, has double panels and tabs?

I've tried , and but each of them either can't do basic operations without crashing or requiring me to wait a few seconds.

I thought switching from HDD to M.2 SSD will help - I did not.

sucks - no dual view, no tabs... But all other options fig. make me want to punch the screen.

If you've worked with Godot to make 3D games you probably had trouble getting your characters behave reliably. If you were working on a movement-based game for any amount of time, you've probably felt the pain.

This here shines light on why exactly that is.

There is hope for fixing Godot's character physic! Come over, and get involved!

Do you think hundreds/thousands years into the future the ubiquitous diamond plate family of designs will still be standard, or we'll invent something different to replace it? 🤔

#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.

MattKC has a great short video about it:

As usual when I think "this is a rare case where I can't fail!" the reality hits me in the face and takes away this amazing place of "feeling right". I get reminded of my limitations. When will I learn true ?

This time my "charge" against paid add-ons has quickly revealed that I was operating on a false premise.

It turns out allows giving your source code to paying customers ONLY. It's looked down upon, but it's allowed by the license.

KDE Plasma 6 brought HDR support to Linux!

And this reminded me that my Gigabyte G27Q monitor is broken. I've sent one back before when it started flickering first only in HDR + Freesync, then without HDR, then without Freesync and finally turned into a strobe.

Now this unit has the same problem, just a longer onset.

Can't I actually get working hardware for my money? Please?

Same with Sony Linkbuds S. Three pairs. All of them broken in similar ways. Still can't get my money back for two...

Brackeys was one of the most valued educational creators for Unity game engine.
He retired a few years ago and stopped.making tutorials. After the Unity Runtime Fee happened and broke all trust with the company's management - Brackeys broke his silence and announced that he is starting to learn Godot.

Today, 2 hours ago Brackeys has published his first Godot tutorial...

My productivity tool HyperTimer has gotten the first stable release!

If you suffer from ADHD and keep blowing your time budget, this one might be of real value to you.

It does help me myself in my work, and I want others to benefit from that as well.

Turns out was turned into a for-profit company two years ago. The software remains MIT-licensed, but it's now centered around enterprise solutions

However Gitea's community was not happy about this and created a soft fork that remains fully-compatible, community-driven. It's called and switched to using it in favor of Gitea.

Rocket.Chat is trying to trick us. Shame!

If you're looking for an open-source community platform, don't look at Rocket.Chat. The company behind it is becoming worse and worse.

First they paywalled standard functionality, now they silently put people running "community edition" on "enterprise trial" hoping to catch people off-guard and scare them into paying up.
What kind of garbage business is this?

A scare email titled "You're halfway through a Rocket.Chat's Enterprise trial".

I'm testing this as a replacement for Gboard on my phone. And what's awesome is - it does work with Voice Input. So I can have voice typing without requiring any online services. And without having to click through menus each time I want to use it. Awesome!
You can find both of these open source apps in the F-droid app library.

FUTO Voice Input voice typing app used via FlorisBoard. Its also open-source and uses Whisper for local speech recognition. No Google servers involved!

Is it me or people using their decades-old photos as profile pics is objectively creepy?

Example: for years I believed a guy was 30ish, but then I found a semi-recent photo where he looks like he's 70.

Remember Kung Fury?
The crowdfunded, excellent 80s martial arts film spoof that is so absurd, it breaks the cool meter?

The full-length movie - Kung Fury II - has been in limbo for years due to an investor screwing the production team over after they finished filming.

But the film crew prevailed, and the movie is near!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5765844

David Sandberg has proven to be an excellent writer, director and actor, so I am pretty sure this movie will be a classic too :)

@nebunez Hey! We're doing a general refactor/rewrite/overhaul of to fix some poor design decisions that are holding back the existing codebase.
As we do this, I was thinking about splitting the repository into submodules to make it so the game's code + finished assets are in the main repo, but asset source files are in a submodule. This way programmers won't have to clone 4 GB of data just to write code.
Do you think you could help me with that?

Hey, Juan!

What's your outlook on the Godot 3D physics core issue? The team has recognized this is critical.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/discussions/9646

According to @clayjohn professional physics programmers quoted $200k or more to fix this.
