It seems like Godot lost funding, after the recent controversy, despite gaining 11 backers.

Lets start with all the amendments after 10, then in 5 years we can revisit and see if we want to go further.

developer politics are tiring I think a lot of devs just want to tinker cool shit. which is why they just hired someone else to manage the people.

it's annoying that we have to basically employ counter extremists now

You can’t see it, or smell it, or taste it, and nor can children, but lead could be causing a host of detrimental effects on kids. Moreover, no one knows how many public schools don’t have safe drinking water.

@beardalaxy It's honestly a type of sponsorship that I gave zero shits about. The game can never interest me in the slightest no matter how hard they shill it. But I honestly don't care if YouTubers or other content creators sponsor it.

I honestly prefer that over people shilling VPNs that are known honeypots or meal-replacement drinks with known toxins.

so apparently raid shadow legends sponsorships were like $10-$20 thousand. that's insane. i don't blame youtubers for taking that deal at all.

@beardalaxy I can't believe you didn't realize that until now. I've always argued that it's part of the reason why Nintendo doesn't know what to do with the series anymore. The other part was that, along with F-Zero, the series started off as an over-glorified tech-demo.

The Irish Government has announced it is scrapping its plans to introduce significant updates to Ireland’s existing hate speech laws, as there is not enough support for the proposed legislation.

NULLIFY THEM: Jefferson's Rightful Remedy from the American Revolution
“A nullification of the act is THE rightful remedy.” That’s how Thomas Jefferson said we should respond to any federal act that goes beyond the limits of the Constitution. But here’s the thing - Jefferson wasn’t inventing something new in 1798. He was reminding us of principles that were at the heart of the American Revolution - ideas the people used to resist tyranny. And today, those principles are more important than ever.

@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?
