Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games.

You've got my support 💖

@coredumps_ The Win32 API is vastly preferable to almost everything people do on Linux, which is why it’s probably the only stable userland API on Linux to this day.

[Ryan Fleury @rfleury]

I have posted two updates about RADDBG on Linux, and all I can say is that, while the majority of responses have been very positive, the rest make it obvious why it has taken so long for the Linux ecosystem to provide a ~viable consumer desktop experience (for Windows to decay so much that there is not really any alternative).

There is no coherency in the design of the platform. There is no sane team calling the shots, so the user base spends their time bikeshedding over what should be trivialities. Everybody has an opinion about everything. Window managers (X11? Wayland? X11 on Wayland?), to package managers, to libc versions, to the right folder to use for X/Y/Z, to which shell interpreter to use, to how to ask the user for a file path (libportal? zenity?), to how to show the user a trivial message box, and so on. And this is just the beginning—the trivial stuff that most people reading this will get, without needing a ton of extra context.

If your users or developers are debating about any of this, YOU FAILED. The platform SUCKS. It will only succeed when centralized teams (e.g. shipping hardware using the Linux ecosystem) steer the ship and make decisions. Then, people write to that, and that becomes the actual standard.

"What if our insistence on making people earn their living is preventing those one in ten thousand from making incredible achievements that would benefit all the rest of us in ways we can’t even imagine? What if our fears of each other being fully free to pursue whatever most interests us, including nothing, is an obstacle to an explosion of entrepreneurship and truly huge innovations the likes of which have never been seen?" — Author @scottsantens, Archive pick: https://t.co/gtlhn1OfDO @yanisvaroufakis
