Inputty is now on the #godot asset library!

Check it out if you want easy action rebinding, icons, and/or local multiplayer :)

I just released my new article with it's companion asset!

A deep exploration of the proper use of mouse events to create responsive and reliable controls in both 3D and 2D games and the best Godot first person camera you can get to put it all in practice!

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .

#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline (2023-11-16)

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

Camembert is an endangered species! It relies on a mold that had lost the ability to reproduce sexually... and now, thanks to inbreeding, this mold has also lost the ability to reproduce using spores. Roquefort is also in trouble, but for Camembert it's worse:

"The world over, this other symbol of French gastronomy is inoculated exclusively with one single strain of Penicillium camemberti, a white mutant that was selected for Brie cheeses in 1898 and Camemberts in 1902.

The problem is that ever since then the strain has been replicated by vegetative propagation only. Until the 1950s, Camemberts still had grey, green or in some cases orange-tinged moulds on their surface. But the industry was not fond of these colours, considering them unappealing, and staked everything on the albino strain of P. camemberti, which is completely white and moreover has a silky texture. This is how Camembert acquired its now-characteristic pure white rind.

Year after year, generation after generation, the albino strain of P. camemberti, which was already incapable of sexual reproduction, lost its ability to produce asexual spores. As a result it is now very difficult for the entire industry to obtain enough P. camemberti spores to inoculate their production of the famous Norman cheese.

Worse still, while the Roquefort PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) standard retains a degree of microbial biodiversity, the PDO specifications for Camembert require farmers and other producers to use P. camemberti exclusively."

What to do about it? Switch to eating American cheese, or Velveeta? Read on....

Since people on the bird site seem to love this plugin by @anthonyec a whole lot, let us shout it out here as well:

It adds a little camera preview to the editor, in both 2D & 3D scenes!

Decadence is delicious.
Set your scoundrels loose in the City of Red Waters. This new setting for Blades in the Dark completely replaces Doskvol with a voracious, bloody alternative. Stalk the streets of Inverrouge, where ambition, intrigue, and corruption mix. #ttrpg

Meta employee sharing how #Threads algo works reminds me of an old dril tweet

So one of the handy relationship tools we have is "veto takes the wheel", in other word if you want make the decisions you also have to make the effort.

I hardly ever think about it because it is such a baseline assumption for us now, but man when I look at housekeeping type groups on Facebook I am reminded so much of how it isn't a universal thing.

@mcnees Sophie Wilson, the designer of the ARM architecture, is also a trans woman ✊ . And before, she conceived my first computer: the 1980 Acorn ATOM, which could run inlined 6502 assembly in its BASIC programs!

Lynn Conway, electricial engineer and computer scientist, co-architect of the VLSI design revolution, and transgender activist, was born #OTD in 1938.

She invented Dynamic Instruction Scheduling at IBM, but IBM fired her when they learned she was transitioning.
