  Who would've thought that goatse.cx was preferable to 95% of today's internet (Cartoon by @ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social)

  You all make fun of the goose with the golden eggs, but "the value is in the goose" is something that game studios and other tech companies doing mass layoffs, thinking that their franchises are their biggest assets, apparently still don't get

  @Anoia@mendeddrum.org Has this theory been checked with anyone who knew him? Could also be that someone asked him not to use too complicated words or something (or he had a new copy editor)

  @dramypsyd@ohai.social this is a tough one - 11x14 print with 1" border *should* be 13x16, but it sounds like the kind of situation where things aren't that logical and it's the other way around and people roll their eyes when asking for clarification.. and now it turned out that it was indeed taken literally, which is doubly confusing?

  @aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_native_midi might go in the right direction (it even supports haiku, but not sndio, but maybe it's not too much work to add that?)

  @sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place FWIW, Forgejo also has that "uncompressed zip" issue, but apparently it's getting fixed: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/11893

  I don't think I'll stop using Firefox anytime soon. Yes, their management are fucking idiots and it's annoying that I'll have to disable new AI features whenever they release them.. But the alternative is to use something Chromium-based, which would make Google's domination of web technology absolute - and Google is 100x more evil than Mozilla ever could be. I hope this fucking bubble pops before Mozilla fucks up Firefox so badly that it becomes complete...

  When the AI hype is over, many tech companies will wake up with a really bad hangover once they realize how much talent they lost due to: - People they fired so they have more money for ~~crack~~ nvidia hardware - People who quit because they were fed up with the bullshit - People who turned into vegetables by using "AI" too much

  @rygorous None of this is desirable - even the bubble bursting (though necessary) will cause economic damage and put people out of jobs, the other scenarios are *way* worse. But instead of banning that shit and putting AI execs behind bars governments subsidize it and companies use it like it their product quality or peoples ability to buy their crap doesn't matter..

  @dpk (To be clear, I don't assume that "just adding a button" is all that needs to be done to make this work, it's just the user-facing thing that would be different vs existing PRs - in addition to specifying git URL + branch name instead of selecting it from a list. When talking about this potential feature people always pointed out that it can't work because Forgejo doesn't know when you push on the remote server and.. yes, but that's not a big issue, just let u...

  Earlier this week I released the third (and hopefully last) Release Candidate for dhewm3 1.5.5: https://dhewm3.org/#dhewm3-1.5.5-release-candidate-3 Testing is very welcome! The biggest changes since 1.5.4 are: * Removed microstutters, runs at smooth 60FPS now instead of trying to run at 62.5FPS which is bad on 60Hz screens with VSync * Support for aspect-ratio-independent GUIs (HUD and menus). Requires updated GUIs, dhewm3 provides ones for base game, D3XP and Lost Mission * Lots of bugfixes...
