There's an ongoing discussion at [1, 2] which highlights an important difference between GDNative and GDExtension in terms of what the developers expect them to be used for. A lot of people were using GDNative as a way of writing game

A good reason to break "Use near-black and near-white instead of pure black and white" for blacks is if the design will be viewed either on a projector, or with an an OLED screen as both will display pure blacks quite pleasingly.

Can anyone explain the "NFT" argument they're putting forward? What in the new license protects them more than existing copyright law, trademark law or OGL 1.0 does not? The OGL does not allow people to use the D&D brandi

I think the reason that his article feels strange is that it's not clear the perspective that he's coming from. I'm pretty sure that it's in direct response to some currently ongoing conversations in the Python community

It's there for me in Firefox. With a mouse if I spin the wheel then it starts an animated scroll. However, I cannot send any more scroll inputs until that animated scroll has finished. So with two scroll wheel spins in quick succession
