It's a good joke, but the delivery isn't very good. Seeing "electrocution" and "conductor" in the same sentence immediately made me get the joke, so I skipped to the end, and I was correct. Maybe they should ha

Do you think we have already seen peak Facebook? Obviously we can't judge from one bad(?) quarter, but from Meta's desperate attempts to copy Tiktok, I think its a slow decline from here.

It's a cliché at this point, but 4.0 (or more realistically, 4.1/4.2) would be the milestone that would result in professional adoption of Godot. 3D is still at indie-level now, and requires a lot of workarounds and hacks for some

While this may work for some things, I find that this strategy doesn't work for my particular interests. I've been trying to get into game development and character modeling in Blender for a while now. 20 minutes a day isn't

Since countries other than US/some European countries existed. Godot developers get paid in the $30-40k range. I live in Lebanon, and it is normal for talented senior developers to be paid $15-25k a year.

Which is their own fault. They have more than a million dollars in bitcoin donations that haven't been touched in years (Its around 620k now since bitcoin is crashing). That could have easily funded 3 full-time developers for a decade

On federated sites, you have to think of domain names as part of the username. The account isn't just @NASA. It is @NASA@mastodon.social, for example. This isn't even a new concept. NASA@gmail.com and NASA@outlook.com can co-exist
