[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

hi I'm angry and I'm just going to vent a little

from now on, fuck being nice to the maga right, especially its political leaders and its communicators, who have poisoned the right wing media landscape and tricked a huge amount of people into believing their lies

I'm officially done with this idea that literally the entire political spectrum should be blaming the left for everything

"they're only like that because the left is so divisive" oh I'm sorry but have you, at the very least in your head, quantified this divisiveness among the political leaders and pundits within each camp, and made a quantitative analysis on where this issue is a bigger problem?

oh yeah no you haven't, because you literally don't care. a leftist college student seemed annoying in a tiktok/twitter/facebook video you saw, and now your entire political world view is about ensuring trump gets elected

the maga right is either violently ignorant, or, they don't care about truth, they don't care about democracy, they clearly don't care about "biased media", they don't care about rule of law, they don't care about the working class, they don't care about the economy, they barely even care about the border, they don't care about a fair and balanced supreme court, and of course, they don't care about gaza, they don't care about immigrants, they don't care about asylum seekers, they don't care about women's rights, they don't care about education, they don't care about the safety of their elections

they also don't care about how trump incited an insurrection, they don't care that trump plotted a coup to overthrow the 2020 election, they don't care that eastman worked to get a fake slate of electors to overturn the democratic will of the people, they don't care about anything trump said on jan 6 apart from the one part where he said "march peacefully", after which he was sitting on his ass watching fox news coverage of the insurrection, while his phone and his surroundings were getting filled with people, including his own family, including right wing pundits, begging him to call it off, as he did nothing about it, for three fucking hours

they also don't care that the republican stacked supreme court gave presidents criminal immunity. what happened to not have anyone be above the law? didn't you care about that? you know, no kingmaking and all that?

nope, who cares, just say something like "presidents have always acted as though they've been criminally immune, they just codified it", which, is not true, but, remember, they don't care about truth, so, it doesn't matter :)

I wonder if they care about the fact that the dominion lawsuit had leadership at fox admit to *knowingly* lying to the people about voter fraud, and right before the opening statements was about to begin, they decided to settle for $787.5 million, the largest defamation settlement in U.S. history, by the way, because they knew they were clearly in the wrong. But of course they don't care, just say even fox news is biased and move on. just say fox news isn't the "real" right, only trump is, and various alternate media figures whose podcasts they enjoy

the maga right doesn't care about fucking anything, but getting trump elected again, and having someone in the white house who's funny and "tells it like it is"

I can point to evidence backing up *every single claim* I've made about trump, but the thing is, it literally doesn't matter, and that's the real problem

they construct their own truths to ensure that trump is a good guy no matter what. whatever we say, there's a conspiracy answer with no evidence to back it up

this, by the way, is the difference between an echo chamber and living a bubble

if you live in a bubble? you're just a little ignorant, you just haven't been exposed to the rest of the world, and you could have your mind changed if you were just exposed to more experiences, people, and facts

if you live in an echo chamber? you have an answer that rejects any information coming in from the outside. whatever institution finds, you can reject it by saying they are biased, whether it's the courts or the government or the "elites" or whatever else you want to blame it on

the right will, of course, dismiss me as being an unhinged leftist, when I'm not even in the far left, I've always been pretty solidly a progressive liberal, but I suppose to the maga right, these words don't matter, or mean anything

the right will, of course, dismiss me as being the one who's in an echo chamber, even though I've gone out of my way to consume media across the political spectrum, and having listened to a ton of debate between the left and the right, having read through supreme court rulings, and gone out of my way to represent their opinions accurately and gone out of my way to try and understand, to try and be empathetic

and you know what you get in return?

maga will have the exact same opinions as before, they will shit on LGBT people and immigrants just as much as before, and hey even some people on the left will shit on you for trying to understand people on the right, because on the left, people actually do try to hold each other accountable

like, there has to be accountability for lying, there has to be accountability for blatantly anti-democratic behavior, especially if you're the president

but right now there is *none* of that on the political right, and anyone who says "but both sides" to this are, at best, woefully ignorant

disinformation is slowly destroying us all, and all we do is blame the left, while the left is trying to figure out how to be nicer to the right so that the right won't get upset again, while the right is rapid firing propaganda in every single direction without consequence

sigh

okay I think I'm done thank you and/or I'm sorry

loose conventions of every letter of the alphabet when used in math, in my experience:

a - variable, usually the first, or acceleration
b - variable, usually the second, or a basis function
c - constant, coefficient, or the speed of light, might be a third variable
d - infinitesimal/derivative notation, but could also be distance or diameter. using this as a fourth variable after a, b, and c is illegal under international law
e - euler's number, or a variable/constant if we're feeling extra brave
f - function, probably
g - probably also a function. or the scalar gravity constant
h - a variable, usually height, but might be a function too
i - the imaginary unit, if we're doing complex algebra/analysis, or a basis vector. could also be an integer
j - quaternion basis or basis vector
k - quaternion basis or basis vector
l - mostly unused, bad glyph, nobody likes it, too similar to 1 and | and I. you may use it only if you write it very squiggly cursively or for lagrange polynomials
m - a constant, or mass
n - an integer, or a normal vector
o - mostly unused? if I see this I'm probably reading my own notes
p - a constant, usually an intermediate variable
q - a quaternion, or an intermediate variable
r - a radius, or a position vector
s - displacement or arc length
t - time or interpolation parameter, usually as an independent variable in a parametric equation, or a tangent vector
u - a coordinate in 2D space, or the first parameter of a parametric function with more than one parameter, or a time/interpolation value
v - a vector, might be a velocity vector specifically, or scalar speed, or a coordinate in 2D space, or the second parameter of a parametric function
w - the real part of a quaternion, or a phase/angular velocity/frequency
x - an independent variable or the first component of a coordinate/vector in 2D or 3D space
y - a dependent variable or the second component of a coordinate/vector in 2D or 3D space
z - a complex number, or the third component of a coordinate/vector in 3D space

Rana and her family have been displaced 6 times by Israeli forces in less than 6 months and still haven’t found safety. This visual in partnership with @AlMezanCenter captures their story.

@amasinton Wow, 'insensitive' really was the most polite word possible here..

[Jonathan Blow @Jonathan_Blow]

Programmers who can add functionality, without making the codebase unnecessarily complicated, are *incredibly* valuable. If someone has properly absorbed this aesthetic and knows how to do it, I would hire that person on the spot regardless of perceived lack of other skillsets.

lost in the noise about fees - unity getting rid of Plus so after years of subscribing i am forced to return to having their humiliating splash screen in my personal projects is a real kick in the teeth

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

@unity hi so you should revert this change as soon as possible if you want unity to continue thriving among indie devs

I've never seen so many developers simultaneously preparing to jump ship at the same time. out of all the blunders, this one is looking like the worst by far

[Bryan_I @Streamfall_Co]

@FreyaHolmer Apple route is just Pro Splines. Simple and effective..

@FreyaHolmer If you had an AA budget, what would you make?
If you had a AAA budget, what would you make?
If you had a big enough budget, what world ills would you challenge with gameplay?

[Bryan_I @Streamfall_Co]

@FreyaHolmer Feel the same about it.
I think C++ has gotten better as a language. But hey, Unreal is still hype. UVS is really flexible and between that and HDRP, I think the gap is covered. Unity as an org - not so sure about 😳

I don't want to tell billionaires how they should or shouldn't use their money.

I want society to be structured in such a way that single individuals never become so wealthy as to have the power to singlehandedly alter the course of society on a whim.

@AshBlueWD What barriers do you have from importing that level directly in to Unity?

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

I'm one of the bigger game dev educators online, and my free game dev content makes about $90/month

$90 :)

teachers are extremely underpaid, and free content almost never pays even close to a living wage. so if you have an issue with capitalism, maybe don't blame teachers?

[Bryan_I @Streamfall_Co]

@amasinton I think it's a remarkably beautiful project and want to see more. Which evening works better for you to meetup?
