    And regarding availability, Colemak is now included in Windows 11, which makes it available out of the box in all 3 major OS's. Also, Colemak is an easy way to upgrade comfort in c…

    I think US culture overall frowns upon non-original works. From school there's some push against working on something that is a copy of someone else's work. In the meantime China h…

    Fun way to look at it, you at the north give us a lot of planned obsolence goods in exchange for our monies. North even gets into politics pushing developing countries infrastructu…

    but now they added this task switcher to iPad which also appears when dragging from the left edge, and now going back is like rolling a dice. you don't know how how to go back with…

    godot ticks at that rate, but if you don't transform UI things, they don't get redrawn. so maybe the framebuffer is switched every frame, but draw calls shouldn't be reissued unles…

    I always thought of this as a gimmick from the government. Why would they risk an operation just to send hopes to the hostages. I always felt this was more to get good will from pe…

    There is a world out there where people pay 15~20% of their annual income to buy a computer seen under a different lens: you think that an effort a person does over 3.65 days to af…

    I switched to Colemak 4 years ago or so, and I think it is one of the best investments of my time ever made. Yes, you will feel similar to that feeling you get when you write with …

    I would also add their animation system is crap. If you try something like Animancer, you will never ever want to interface to the AnimatorController stuff because is so badly desi…

    Having the source code available is much better as an investment. Unity support (forums, answers, whatever) is a joke. It is very sad that whatever gamedev question you have, if yo…

    UE4 has been able to export to switch for a long time (Snake Pass notably released on switch, before any other console, 4 years ago) For Godot, there are companies that do the port…

    That review at the end is strange in many ways, it shows the sad truth about economics between other countries and the US. If someone is doing something good, but is not for the be…

    Yes you’re right, I can’t say from that side. What I can say is it has happened here for a long time, and no one questioned as they were also in control of the media. Just until re…
