in a month, it won't be possible to purchase or download the software that opens thousands of beastieball's most valuable, labored project files. 😅

i was going to make a joke but all i can think is "why"? a generation of artists grew up with flash... what a profound waste...

a very important addition to the moveset: the scooch

whoa look

Adobe making a great example that using proprietary software anywhere in your development is a massive liability, even if you fork over buckets of money. Why should people invest time and money learning your software if you just do this with no recourse.

They should be forced to open source it, it shouldn't be legal to just turn off software thousands of people rely on.

at least 70% of the AI hype that’s bottom-up — eg, excited users — is people who never learned how to actually use their computer suddenly realizing the computer can do things for them

every guy that gets banned for bad vibes is the same guy

Surface is (was?) a product line of Windows laptops. I assume bazzite just has stuff to handle the oddities associated with that (touch screen, special pen, etc)

hey folks, I have the unfortunate news that I am opening up some commissions slots. I was ghosted by two freelance clients after sending work and now I can't pay rent. DM or email me if you are interested!

get a cute little guy for 50-100$ USD

examples here, please share!

"playable" as in broken 60 second rips of nintendo games that run at 20fps and forget what was outside the field of view

If you're in Vancouver and think it's morally repugnant for a Canadian company to be signing contracts to support ICE "public relations," come join at 111 East 5th Ave at 3pm *today* to let @hootsuite.com know this is indefensibly vile.

Probably still a pain lol, I haven't ever written Wayland (or X11) code since I use cross-platform libraries like SDL.

I don't really have to input my password often, except when doing the odd sudo command. I think there's probably ways to turn it off for your user once logged in but I haven't tried!

why can't either of them talk normal. why does it have to be so weird

In 2022 Windows was "only" 12% of their revenue and growing way slower than their office and cloud services. I could honestly see it, in like a decade.

Yeah, feels basically the same as when I had an old macbook to make sure mac builds worked.

Yeah. I think Microsoft see themselves as a cloud + enterprise provider now. I don't think it will happen soon but long term I could see them abandon Windows and focus solely on subscription/cloud/enterprise stuff (Office, AI, servers, etc).

You're running your phone with Ubuntu? I didn't know it had a mobile version!

yeah... we still need one Windows PC in the office to test Steam builds on (and eventually do console builds from). I don't really see a way around that for the foreseeable future :/

Yeah unfortunately this is the one case where I still need a windows machine in some form in our office (and to test Windows builds for Steam). I haven't done any console dev since I switched to linux 3 years ago but I'll be doing more soon

Yeah totally, I run into issues and problems with Linux all the time, but no more than I did with Windows - just different problems. The day-to-day is just a lot nicer.

I've been using Fedora for like 3 years because it's very stable and frequently updated. It has some quirks because they intentionally do not include proprietary software so it's not always as straight forward as other distros.

It works fine! I usually use it via the terminal (so dotnet run, dotnet watch, etc)

(for context I was trying to make sure the original Celeste XNA version could still be built through some means, even though the general project is using latest dotnet now)

Like on Linux I just run "sudo dnf install whatever-i-want" and it's done in a few seconds. Windows was like, multiple order-dependent installers from broken Microsoft websites and then the versions were wrong and dependencies didn't work, etc, etc. Just a mess.

I haven't used Windows in 3 ish years and I was recently doing some required work on a Windows 10 VM and just the process of installing software and hooking things up was so much more arduous than on Linux lol

If you're a programmer switching to Linux is pretty straight forward, and after the learning curve the day-to-day of programming from Linux is way nicer than Windows.

Want to be very clear to anyone even remotely thinking about coming to events like GDC: Don't. It's not safe to be in the US, nobody's hiring or financing anyway, and it's not worth your life.

Celeste is 8 years old wow

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie
