Learning about ray casting and how DOOM is apparently NOT using a ray casting graphics engine.

KDE:

Microsoft has blatantly copied us in Windows 11, and as a result, people are starting to see Plasma as a cheap clone of Windows again. (...) Making the panel float by default provides an immediate visual differentiation from Windows 11 and we hope this will help jolt users’ brains out of β€œew, it’s slightly different from Windows 11” mode and into β€œwow, this is new and cool and I wonder what’s in it” mode.

Microsoft:

Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows 12 (...) with several new design ideas, including a new desktop experience with a β€˜floating’ taskbar. Microsoft wants to create a floating effect for the taskbar by separating it from the desktop and rounding off the edges.

I don't think making a CRPG is considered a good first choice for relative beginners, is it?

jfc i do NOT have the patience to make music on a tracker, it seems

My greatest advice to those concerned: Start archiving. If you come across something you believe is valuable: make a copy.

If you follow a guide on how to install and configure software and you found it helpful: make a copy.

If you come across a video you really enjoy and find yourself coming back to again and again: make a copy.

If it means anything to you: make a copy, or you'll wish you did.

@eniko I’m very new to mastodon but already love the community. I’ll be posting a lot of pixel art and game dev related stuff in the future and would really appreciate the boost. mastodon.gamedev.place/@libera

Someday, YouTube will require people to sign in to view videos. When that day comes, I think that we can safely declare the modern web to be irreparably damaged.

@ocornut EU cookie law is not the problem. You don't need to ask for consent for essential cookies, like the ones that store your login session ID or the shopping cart in a web store.

Every time you see the cookie popup, it's about selling your browsing data to third parties.

We see these popups everywhere and the reasoning is "the EU did something stupid", but it's the opposite. They caught the thieves red-handed.

"We value your privacy." Yeah, no shit. By putting a monetary value on it.
