quick psa about my emoji usage
๐Ÿ’™ : friendly, not romantic
โค : probably romantic
so, if I toot a blue heart at you, it's not intended as romantic affection. I thought I should clarify that, since some people might feel uncomfortable with hearts being thrown at them.

i'm listening to KCME online (classical music radio from the US) and it's so surreal to hear ads for healthcare

tip:
when taking s, cover your network's name with a floating window!
that way you don't have to do post-processing in an image editor

@grainloom Yes. But it appears Unity is moving toward modularizing internal components to improve packaging size and performance.

Godot can theoretically be compiled without the modules you're not using.

psa:
is a nice and i like it ๐Ÿ’™ :blobuwu:

Browsing library man pages in #acme is crazy soothing

@grainloom in Godot and Unreal you can make your own engine builds that omit modules but it's not automatic

@grainloom Depends on the engine and version. Some like Unity will load libraries dynamically, so they are referenced, but only loaded when they are actually used. It may carry the full thing in the binary installers it generates, but will not actually install everything and won't load everything into memory if the necessary libraries are already available in the target system.

i dont know where i first heard it, but i really like the term social interaction networks rather than social media. take back the language. we're aren't media and relationship building isn't marketing.

@nico Is it theft if someone flies a quadcopter through your window and you drive away?

when using engines like , and , does the final executable include modules of the engine that aren't actually used?
like, if I make a 3D game in Unity, am I still paying for the 2D physics engine?

@vertigo My guess is that there are more than 200 people out there who will take a little lack of convenience in exchange for a simple, understandable, solid, NSA-less package of hardware and software.
If presented in a way that strikes that chord, a number of people will be interested.

Oh, and yes, I used #Mastodon / #Fediverse as an example of services that would get hit hard with #Art11 / #Art13. The Fediverse is helping to #SaveYourInternet too now! :)

I'm in Strasbourg, lobbying hard. Updates soon, but was able to talk to Axel Voss, the main guy behind the current (bad) versions of #Art11 and #Art13. Doing my best to #SaveYourInternet.

Lessons from today:
- Pro-Art11/Art13 MEPs do not know how copyright law works (no surprises there, the copyright law is a mess!)
- Wikimedia Commons is a very good example of a service that could suffer very much.
- As during #ACTA, MEPs are not entirely against sitting down and discussing the issues.

@kitdarko I've had two meetings with MEPs so far, one leaning our way, and Voss.

Both complained about the template e-mails. The one leaning our way said specifically they are an annoyance, and that they make it hard to find actually important e-mails in the deluge of such (what he called) spam.

I asked them what would work better and that's what they gave me: calls. or at least e-mails actaully written by the sender.

I trust them. These are the people we try to reach, after all.
