Everything is locked down and filled with NDAs when it comes to console development. To access the xbox game development documentation - you need to sign an NDA (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/getstarted/gc-getstarted-toc). To access the SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/gdk) you need to be a “Registered Dev Center Partner” which requires a publisher, fee payment, and agreement (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/partner-center/open-a-developer-account). BUT even more specifically section 3 of the public GDK license agreement (https://github.com/microsoft/GDK/blob/Main/LICENSE-EN-US.MD) gives an idea of what you are allowed to do with that SDK code once given access and you can only use the code for “internal” use and only make one copy for backup use. This isnt even getting into how using the GDK makes your app subject to the usage agreement (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/usage-rules-for-digital-goods-rules-83812b1f-1ecd-9a46-d3a7-ad1eadce49d1).
The following is just my opinon on all this, but the way that I see it is that W4 represents industry priorities in the engine. In this example, the industry needs strong console support or cloud gaming and is willing to invest in it; or previously DirectX support. The Godot Foundation ensures that godot is able to focus on non-industry needs as well as community management. So they technically both contribute to the engine, but dont really overlap with each other cause they represent different groups who need to do different things with the same engine. That said - interop is needed as well because it is the same engine. ATM I trust juan and crew and the buracracy that is being built around godot to protect it and us while maintaining momentum.
It was between this one and https://mastodon.social/@ryanhoulihan/111497118442295008 ; which someone else can post
Honestly, lemmy and the fediverse as a whole will have natural growth and thats fine - mastodon has been around for like 8 years and is only recently getting a small amount of attention and mainstream usage. Like take the long view - like the really long view like 15 years from now. It’ll probably be huge, but until then we will just share memes and have a good time discussing stuff.
Perfect, I was looking to improve my chess skills

Well according to Washington Post, they havent even finished the last hurricane; and this season is really going to pound flordia, honestly might not even be a state soon https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/17/florida-heat-wave-hurricane-ian-survivors/?wpisrc=nl_most
At what point do you end up re-inventing c++?

Hmmm, thanks for linking the relevant page. I see now that my inital guess was wrong; this is tricky cause it must be a new and specific issue
I am seeing it as well, but I also do see new posts pop up; so I dont think this is a bug so much as code working as intended. My guess is: because the increase in users was so big about three days ago, all of those posts got weighted much larger than everything else and the decay rate didnt adjust properly to accomodate this, so thier scores are still much higher than new posts. Someone should open an issue and let the devs know to look into it outside of just guessing: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues
The amount of node work recently is very impressive, great work overall
Theres also misskey, calckey, and plemora
Absolutely agreed, source
In the comment editor hit the smile button (4th from the left) then when the emoji selector comes up, select the emoji catagory at the far right with a star symbol ( * ) to get server specific emoji
If you are trying to set an image for your community and the server cant process it (its pretty finicky) then it’ll error out. I would suggest trying to not set an image when creating it (you can always add it later).
This game helped me realize I really like they/them pronouns for myself - which started my discovery that I’m non-binary.
So good news is that captcha support was merged so its definitely coming with 0.18.1; which just had its first release candidate so things are looking positive that’ll happen rather quickly.
Beautiful
