SMS? They have an app 2FA method already, why go for a potentially less secure mechanism, not to mention adding even more info to servers. this is odd.

Gender is a lot like operating systems. People always assume you use one of the two big proprietary ones and if you don't, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of confusion and compatibility issues. On the plus side you get a lot more customisability and don't have to care about bullshit policies of the proprietary options.

the guy at the gallows “first time” meme but with the unity debacle

i jumped on godot already in 2017 because i long ago vowed never again to use proprietary, drm software for my creative projects, after yoyogames abandoned the gamemaker 8 series and shut down the drm servers

All day long, the name "Abraham LinkedIn" has been bouncing around my head like a DVD player's logo screen saver.

What do you want from me, brain. I don't know what to do with that.

Interviewer: What's your biggest strength?

Me: I'm expert in machine learning.

Interviewer: What's 7+9?

Me: Zero

Interviewer: No, it's 16.

Me: Ok, 16.

Interviewer: What's 10+20?

Me: 16

i have outright deleted a major patchset i wrote for a project under freedesktop.org stewardship, which someone else is probably going to write again in a year or two, because i realized the project had a real-name policy, and decided it wasn't worth it. i then lost motivation for the cool thing i was working on that needed me to write that patch

this is not the intended effect of a "real-name" policy, but it is the actual effect. and, as the cool kids say, "the system is what it does".

there is no such thing as a "real name". the concept of a "legal name" is fraught, and most certainly is not what you think it is, or what you are looking for, if you are a software developer. many assumptions you have about what a "legal name" is probably are not true.

consider this: the name on my birth certificate is different than the name on my drivers license, and that is different from the names i am called by my friends. those names are all different from what is likely to be on my passport when i get it, and all of those are different than the name i publish my open source projects under. all of these, in different jurisdictions, might or might not be something you could consider a "legal name". which one do you want me to use when i submit a major feature to your library? are you going to turn me away if i try to submit it as "linear cannon"? why? if i have a website and contact information under that name, why does this matter? how is it substantially different than an author of fiction novels publishing under a pen name? does it change if i produce a piece of government-issued documentation with that name on it? why, or why not?

if your real name policy does not answer these questions adequately, then there's a very good chance i'm just going to assume that you're going to turn me away, as has happened to me several times already

Giving Clockhopper a VERY simple game loop, and it's starting to feel really good!
