Always take the least important item from your to-do list, obsess over it to an unhealthy degree, rinse and repeat. #burnside #automated-release-announcements

Im not a game dev, just trying to understand and learn from you all. :)
We struggle a lot with infrastructure that was build assuming everyone has a super fast reliable connection, and now some people run it over Starlink

This is for anyone who has wanted to do something but doesn't know how yet, and wants to start; or people who want to brush up on stuff, or (like in my case) want to polish up how you're doing it in another language.
EVERYONE is welcome to join us.
Which means: YES, I really do mean everyone. ESPECIALLY people who aren't in the traditional "white, older male" category.
And if join do join and anyone gives you ANY crap about not being in the "white, older male" category: Let me know and I'll make so much god damned fuss they'll attack _me_ so you get some rest from the crap.
Also: this is fun. Please join us!

Over the years, Shatner has weirdly denied it happened, but it did, and Flemishdog found a U-MATIC videotape with an unaltered, high-quality version of Shatner's "Rocket Man". And here it is.

the AI itself downplays what it can do, but I have barely any complaints. For the first time, I am obsessed with it.

Thanks for mentioning meson. I didn't know that one! I love how their main example uses SDL ;)
There are more modern ones (meson, bazel, buck, fastbuild) that I haven't looked into. Maybe some of them are better.
I'll have to worry about cross-platform C++ very soon, so I'll try all of the above to get a feel for them. Thanks!
I... don't love it.
Are there any alternatives you like?
I haven't found any I like yet and I've tried many over the decades...
being able to control the environment allows for a much better experience
Makefiles: Copy this unholy gibberish from one project to another, and dependencies will work. Have to support a new OS? Oh boy! But it's all shell scripts, and you control everything.
Meson: All this is automated for you, but wait! How do I set compiler flags?! What do you mean it's impossible?
I had to learn far more Cmake than I could ever imagine. It was not a fun process.
Then you start a new project or add a dependency and the cycle stats again.

Income aimed at sustaining main Dear ImGui work which stays and will stay MIT.
I think calling such licenses open-source confuses the public and dilutes the hard earned goodwill of many who have worked to create the bountiful #FOSS #Commons.

The core aspect of #OpenSource is not public availability, but Software Freedom: The right to use, modify, and share the software for *any* purpose. Access to the source code is a necessary but not sufficient aspect of this freedom.
It's just that @msw and I have Strong Opinions™ about this 😄
Also In general I’d say the situation improved from our call 2 years ago.
Sylvain Meunier reshared this.
One aspect many seem to overlook is that by selling something, companies can deduct that as expense before tax, whereas a donation is done after tax. (very simplified)
So if you sell support, it'll be easier for companies to support than if you only have patreon/donations.
Depending on the economic situation it can be illegal to give donations, but perfectly fine to buy support.
Just read several threads about people talking about why companies don't donate more to OS, so wanted to comment to @JarkkoL so he wouldn't fall "prey" to that idea.

The more popular third party apps I had a look at seem to mostly be made for Mastodon and so despite the underlying Fediverse protocol I had a mixed experience. For Friendica this means that often I could kind of get them to work but then I couldn't enter certain screens such as the settings screen or toggles wouldn't work here or there.
I wanted a comparison with Mastodon and so I set up an account to see for myself. Turns out, that over there - at least for the specific server I chose - all those things tend to be a little faster, with way less clicks and just feel a bit more modern. Mastodon doesn't have a calendar tab but that's okay for me. It also seems to go for an overall design more in line with the one from Twitter. No problem with app integration either.
Following people on Friendica - unless I misunderstood the approach - is this whole process where I have to copy a user's handle into a form and submit everything, pulling me out of my current context, while on Mastodon I can just click the follow button and I'm done.
I get that Friendica focuses on privacy and so this may involve some tradeoffs here and there. For me personally I just found that for continuous use things have to be streamlined enough for me to want to come back and I'm getting that more with Mastodon.
I might not have wrapped my head around Friendica entirely though because, at least on paper, the platform including its UI seems way more customizable and interoperable with other decentralized social media platforms. It seems to be more focused on power users which I am admittedly not ;)
Mastodon is not Twitter - it's way less addictive by design and has its own little quirks but I guess for me it's somewhere in the middle between a power user system like Friendica and Twitter itself.
In any case, I know that managing a server is hard work and so thanks for putting in the effort and providing this service for free! Since Twitter is morphing into this democracy endangering lunatic platform it's even more important getting people off there and providing sensible social media alternatives out of reach of sociopath billionaires and unaccountable corporations.
