Neat, I hope Godot has managed to reach the same levels of Unity in terms of usability, and if not, I hope it reaches them soon
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

it's good to see! I hope it will keep picking up speed, and i hope people will remember Unity's strategy.


many of America's largest companies now require job applicants to do a personality test where you pretend you are a CG humanoid blue alien and answer "me" or "not me" to statements like "things happen to me" and "personal best"

We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-exte…

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

A little-advertised bridge just appeared between the Fediverse and Twitter founder Dorsey's new social network. It intends to bridge accounts that don't opt out.

Doing this as opt out is a pretty immoral thing to do. Also unclear how legal opt-out bridges are in some countries. The bridge is using these domains:

snarfed.org
brid.gy

Server admins may want to defederate these to prevent their members being bridged without their knowledge or permission.

One thing that you should learn about homegrown and feditips is that misrepresentation of information is something that they have done a lot and continue to do. Honestly in my opinion it's extremely unprofessional, maybe not the greatest idea to follow their advice.
in reply to Draconic NEO

@Draconic_NEO @minneyar Hmm yeah I'm starting to get the vibe. Admittedly I've never really heard of those until today. I suppose all that can be done is attempting to clarify the truth, which is what I hoped to do in my original reply.

Live audio is definitely a journey and imo you're on the right track now with the setup you've mentioned at the end of the post.
I also use Sweetwater and have had a great experience with them. I only go to Guitar Center to scope used gear and try to find a rare deal.

Ryan Barrett posted about his forthcoming #ATProtocol <> #ActivityPub bridge and had a lot of people lose their minds

fed.brid.gy/r/snarfed.org/2024…

He wrote a great article back in January entitled “Moderate people, not code” that is good background

> “Whether ActivityPub or ATProto or webmention, the underlying technical protocol a community uses to interact online is a poor way to judge who they are and whether you might like them.”

in reply to Boris Mann

Thank you for this reflection. I think that's a really healthy attitude. Social media should be about meeting people where they are, not implicitly banning them until they join you in your tech choices. Anything that supports helping people connect as openly as possible is a good thing.

Compare to email. Yes, I would much prefer everyone to join me in hosting their email at a co-op with FLOSS tools. But in the meantime, I'm glad we can still email each other.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

@ntnsndr I'm not glad I'm mailed by spammers, so no we don't have to accept communication with people who's choices of tech already show that you might not want to connect with them.
Bridge is fine and all, but I personally wouldn't count on those connecting me with networks which don't really care about openness and federation.
Open doesn't mean to be open to those who don't want openness. Similar with tolerance.

Thanks for doing this—it's a really helpful exchange. I'm grateful to see the line being drawn here: no to VC at the heart of our infrastructure, but yes to Big Tech's users if they want to be friends with us.


Because fungal proteins are closer to animal proteins, fungi are an appropriate food for pets and humans. Koji and many fungal proteins contain all 10 canine essential amino acids in greater concentration than cow flesh.

We can grow fungi sustainably, using a fraction of the resources and land needed for cow, pig and chicken flesh - or even fish!

I love #SuperbOwl Sunday. It never gets old.
