Holy moly, apparently Minecraft has switched to SDL3: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-26-3-snapshot-4

instead of "autistic masking" it should be called cloaking. á la star trek. it eats a lot of power, you can't use all your systems while you're doing it, and you only ever need it to get through enemy territory alive

And they call it ‘progress’

I call it unnecessary destruction

@jakehamilton - a general use programming language with both a plaintext-based representation and a node-based visual representation that can be switched between at will, as an easier onramp for non programmers to learn the skills and get useful / fun things done on a computer
- a gamelike "learn computing concepts" interactive primer written in said language
- version control for non programmers that's usable for text as well as binary files, eg images, audio/video etc

Imagine there was a software collective. A group of people that collaborated on different projects, helped each other, and built a better future together. What would you do? What would you work on? What would you contribute?

This isn't a hypothetical. Fedi, please add your own reply and boost this post for reach (thank you in advance). I want to find the people that believe such a thing is possible and want to be a part of it.
