I've never even heard of this before. Is it mostly a rendering library or is it a full game framework like Godot or Unity?

Wait they're still there? How the hell are they still there?

And thanks to the AI customers you can't afford it anyways.

Yeah, likewise. I'm upset about the terrorism of Hezbollah or Hamas, but Israel has quite obviously decided that two wrongs make a right and so is using this nightmare as an excuse to land-grab and settle scores, and the civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon are suffering for it.

Right now I could go create 30 sock puppet accounts to respond to this. Is that really a good thing?

Let government offer the service of "here is a way any human can certifiably identify themselves online" and let people decide what providers they want to give that info to.

If you want to use or run anonymous social media, that's fine.

I don't.

Old Casio watches managed to do it with just screws. We live in the future, I'm sure there's a way to fasten a phone together waterproof with just rubber gaskets and mechanical fasteners instead of glue.

The problem is that always the economically cleanest approach is to add fees, which are political suicide.

Like, if you add a "disposal fee" to electronics, that creates incentive to build electronics that last long. But Ford chased Wynne out of Ontario Government using their e-waste fees.

The alternative is stupid bulky bureaucracy and regulation. Which voters say they hate, but their actions speak louder.

Carrots are politically better than sticks, but how do you offer a carrot for not doing something? Fee-and-dividend is supposed to do that, but now we're at "axe the tax" under a fee-and-dividend model.

So maybe bureaucracy and regulation is the way to go.

Ban glue in portable electronics assembly? I'll never forgive Apple for inventing that nonsense.

Require that any device that is E-Waste have a big ugly "this is e-waste" label on its exterior that end users are totally allowed to remove, but replacing the "this is e-waste" panel with something clean-looking must be at least as easy as replacing the battery.

in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I’m using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.

The transfer was kind of a PITA because since the domain transferred from Google to Squarespace to Canspace to then being hosted on CF’s nameservers (but still on Canspace) the DNSSEC meant that CF couldn’t actually get it connected until like 48 hours later. Was quite worried that I’d screwed up somewhere.

Honestly the 2nd analog stick I didn't mind too much because the face-buttons made a decent D-pad for the tiny handful of shooters on the DC. The bigger flaw was the lack of 2nd shoulder-buttons.

Also that putting a screen into a controller has always been a solution looking for a problem. It was on the DC, it was on the Wii-U, and there's a good reason they abandoned the idea to put a screen on the PS4 touchpad controller.

And a train can even be greener than his silly cars with direct electrification via 3rd rail or overhead catenary.
