SDL3 has hit ABI lock!

You can now trust the interfaces to stay stable. We will _add_ but not _remove_ or _change_ what's there, so it's safe to migrate your game to it!

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/tag/preview-3.1.3

We're rushing to an official release from here, but what's there has been battle-hardened in Steam and DOTA2 and CS2 for over a year now, across several platforms.

"Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising."

"we do this fully acknowledging our expanded focus on online advertising won’t be embraced by everyone in our community" - https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/improving-online-advertising/

I appreciate Mozilla laying their intent out explicitly with no room for interpretation or guesswork.

Personally, I think this is not just a huge misstep, but a deathknell.

Romania's refusal to recognise a transgender man's identity violates his rights, says EU's top court

Refusal to recognise a change of gender legally undertaken in another member state violates the rights of EU citizens, the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice ruled today.

Bugs Bunny's gender is "whatever suits the gag at the moment," which is actually a very fedi vibe.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Boosts !

First, yes! You should absolutely boost the posts that you like on Mastodon!

Boosting (reposting) is a very important feature on Mastodon! Because there are no algorithm to push content in your timeline, it is what others post and repost that you see chronologically.

Boosting keeps Mastodon alive!
Do it! Boost it!

That being said,
if you personally get annoyed by someone else's boosts, know that you have options:

1. Everyone should enable the "Group boosts in timelines" option. You can find it from the browser interface in "Preferences" > "Other" at the very top. This will hide new boosts for posts that have been recently boosted

2. You can hide all of someone's boosts without hiding their original posts. Go to the person's profile, select the 3-dot "Menu" button (in the browser interface, this will vary per mobile app), and select "Hide boosts from [handle]"

3. You can mute someone's posts temporarily (boosts and originals). On the same "Menu", select "Mute [handle]" then "Show options." You can select between 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days 🤐

4. Know also that you are more likely to notice someone boosting a post repeatedly if you follow few people. Because there are no algorithm here, it is also a good idea to follow more people. Especially if you find your timeline too quiet

5. Don't forget to boost the posts that you like! ✨

Wanted to repost this, so I tracked down the original and took a fresh screenshot, because it's important to share.

#OH Every skirt has a spinny, but not every spinny has a skirt

once again pissed off at censoring / sanitising language in subtitles. it's infantilising. I use subtitles all the time because of tinnitus and auditory processing issues, and I'll be damned if I want a bunch of handwringing prudish cunts fucking about with the language. censor ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in accessibility tools. I promise we're grown up enough to handle some swears and sex words, for shit's sake.

So the state of the browser landscape is that Firefox's numbers are ever falling, but there's a faction trying to convince people to move to Firefox on the grounds that Firefox allows full capabilities to ad blockers such as uBlock origin, whereas Google is making changes that will tie uBO's hands on Chrome.

So this is a really bad time for Firefox to initiate an (apparently accidental?) feud with the uBlock Origin lead developer.

very sad that cohost is going. maybe its unique genre of posting, the css crime, will go with it. well, i'm glad that there's this worthy goodbye to it https://cohost.org/rebane2001/post/7910613-another-journey-begi

I recommend disabling this Paypal setting which will (if you don't flip the switch before 2025) result in your payments data being sold for marketing purposes.

Notes: The instructions say "Paypal Shopping" but for me it was under "Personal Shopping"; it was already disabled for me, but I don't know why (Canada? California?)
