@Inginsub @nyanide Good. Maybe people will start writing their own engines again.

regardless of whatever the programmers or managers of godot say or think, or who they ban from what, the fact remains that it is open source and publicly available. this is one reason why open source is so important, so that the software can be detached from the ones who made it. if this were something like unreal engine then they could simply revoke your license to use the engine if they so desired, but with godot that's not an option. so keep using it if that's what you like to use because it can't be taken from you.

@beardalaxy Either way, I also want to promote the little guys.

the world population count is a linear count up with preset variables, it's based on nothing. the few places places that make up the bulk of the number are corrupt or unable to measure anything accurately. no way there's 8 billion people atm. there is global disinterest in child rearing and infertility from "modernity poisoning" in rural settings.

In the wake of the Godot situation, I am here to recommend alternatives. Not all of these are engines. Some of them are frameworks, but all of these are FOSS and general purpose.

2D:
* SDL - libsdl.org/
* SFML - sfml-dev.org/
* Allegro - liballeg.org/
* Gosu - libgosu.org/
* Love2D - love2d.org/
* Pygame- pygame.org/
* FreeBASIC - freebasic.net/
* raylib - raylib.com/

3D:
* Irrlicht Engine - irrlicht.sourceforge.io/
* OGRE - ogre3d.org/
* ioquake3 - ioquake3.org/
* Panda3D - panda3d.org/

Both:
* MonoGame - monogame.net
* GDevelop - gdevelop.io/
* jMonkeyEngine - jmonkeyengine.org/
* Lightweight Java Game Library - lwjgl.org/

Does it bother you that a weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, has been granted $37.2 million of your tax dollars to develop a new mass surveillance tool for DARPA, a division of the Pentagon, to clamp down on disinformation?

WEF: “The Netherlands is building a neighbourhood where every car must be shared - there’ll be one vehicle for every three homes, and no space for privately owned cars”

Meanwhile, the WEF elite will carry on travelling around the globe in their private jets - while destroying the very essence of human nature. https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1683820433540911112

You can be involved without voting. I'm not saying you shouldn't vote. I'm saying I personally don't think it matters. James Corbett has often said on his podcast that if you think we can vote our way out of our current situation, he wishes you the best and yes, go vote. Hopefully you're right and he's wrong.

But it's important to be realistic. Just attending protests or being involved locally with city council meetings or school board meetings is arguably way more important than voting. I've helped in local campaigns before. Not in a long time though; it does jade you to the process.

When people stop getting involved, when people lose hope, that is when the Oligarchs and dictators starts to act

Dude they're always acting no matter if you have hope or not. The media flips the majority of the population like a switch.

I used to think that voting didn't matter. I changed

I mean... if it gives you purpose, good? Keep on keeping on. Nothing wrong with a religious belief. Keep proselytizing I guess. Maybe you'll convert me one day. But for now, the risk of jury duty doesn't outweigh the benefit of trivially placing my wish on a piece of paper for one from the list of psychopaths running.

Basically Fediverse websites shutting down or getting shut down and the userbase getting wiped out as a result. It's like dropping a nuke on an entire country in some cases.

Guys this is why "censorship resistance" aspect of Nostr actually does matter. Even if it doesn't win for the initial sell, it matters for the long term of it actually working.

I wrote a short blog post to guide people to resources on how to start fixing Coverity issues and how that can be a great way to contribute to the Linux kernel. 🔍 🖥️ 🐧

It's particularly aimed at newcomers with some experience in C. 🙂

"ONE simple and rewarding way to contribute to the Linux Kernel: Fix Coverity issues"
embeddedor.com/blog/2024/09/28

I hope people find it both inspiring and useful, and...

"[...] Always remember: upstream Linux kernel development is highly social. 😉"

Thanks!
