Today I was reminded that the Cortex-A53 is over 10 years old...

Happy 41st birthday :-)

godot will be big. its "everything is a node tree" design radically simplifies things yet is also very powerful; gdscript is more approachable than python while providing best-in-class ergonomic gradual static typing; c# makes it friendly to ex-unity folks; and it's open source!

when your game's players leak so many military secrets that Wikipedia considers forking that section into its own article

in Android 11, Google fundamentally changed what a file is and what a file manager does, without communicating this to users. we as app developers are left to pick up the pieces, desperately trying to explain this incomprehensible system to users who think we're gaslighting them.

by the way, the solution to the same problem on iOS is just:

    "UIFileSharingEnabled": true,

it's existed for thirteen years, it doesn't require any code, and it supports normal fucking POSIX filesystem APIs

please stop trying to kill the file system. please. please for the love of all that is good in the world

i love Android. i love how it is the future of computing, because i love progress, and i love innovation, and i love how innovation only makes things better. i love how computers keep getting even more useful. i love how a new generation only know Android. https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/touchHLE/commit/6d714bbf0d2c64743c7b2b24e9c5af479b17631c

An anthropomorphic fox with neon fur who is definitely not the same apparent gender as its meatspace human form:
“… well, that explains a few things.”
