Hah, rad. The US is reverting gender markers on passport renewals.

Mine had F. I did all the paperwork for that over a decade ago.

Renewed passport I just got? Says M.

So yeah fuck you United States, I guess? But whatev I can still use it to leave the country, and my license has the right marker.

Please do vote if you're in the US. Literally every school board/director up for us had a book burning type running, some more subtle than others.

I know it's boring off year stuff but holy shit those types can do damage en masse.

@foone does the laptop have a high end GPU as well as an integrated, by any chance?

Humble just threw up a "Learn to use #Godot !" bundle and I am HOWLING

looks like a rerun, so someone in their marketing division was able to go "I got this" and did the funniest thing by just flipping a switch https://www.humblebundle.com/software/everything-you-need-to-know-about-godot-4-encore-software

Huh, so Unity has reached the killing-the-golden-goose point of their enshittification: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/unity-to-start-charging-fee-pegged-to-game-installs

20c per install doesn't sound like much to PC users, but that's potentially enough to nuke mobile gaming entirely. Which they know, because they also run the stats system mobile devs use to calculate ARPU/ARPPU.

Unreal taking a small cut of revenue works fine. That's based on you know, money you made.

Unity charging based on "Installs" might actually cost you money in mobile space. Or if you do a PS+ freebie. Or GamePass. Or especially an EpicStore freebie. They know what they're doing, and it's fucking evil.

@LunaFoxgirlVT @joe_wintergreen wait really? HUH! I had no idea git could do that!

Ok #SVN / #SourceControl tooters, how do we take the web archive of an old SVN server and stand it back up locally, so we can get our actual project files back out of it?

@joe_wintergreen is dealing with files downloaded from Dreamhost (used to do an SVN service but just stopped one day with no warning), so he's got the server data downloaded, but now it's like- what do?

I'm guessing "set up a local SVN server and copy files in", but does version of server matter? Where do we copy the files? Also ideally we do this on Windows not Linux, heh.

Love to be the goblin in the SCM thread advocating against git / git-lfs

(it doesn't work in games, sorry, we've got too many binaries and no file locking is hilarious and that's assuming it doesn't just tip over and catch fire on its own)

I choose to believe #AI will bring about a new golden era. The era of:

The Kid Whose Uncle Works At Nintendo

A post-truth era where folks swear there's a new Sonic 4 coming, look here's screens! My AI totally found it it's real! My AI probably learned from a guy who worked at Nintendo!

It will be a glorious trainwreck
