In my opinion, IP/copyright law is one of the most unnoticed types of censorship used to suppress creative freedom and differences of valid and critical opinion.

And it's kind of sad that people fear AI so much that they are asking for potentially the biggest modern tool for censorship.

btw godot's auto editor UI scale is very large by default. if you're just getting into godot I recommend fucking around with display scale in settings to see if non-default works better for you

compare i.e the size of UI is in godot by default compared to blender's default on a hidpi 16'' macbook:

Why is every religion suddenly trying to create their own version of Sharia, like they want how to believe, how to dress, country laws, and who to marry to be based on their books?

Fundamentalism is a cancer and should be fought with knowledge and science, not more fundamentalist ideas.

One easy way to legalise murder is to create a rigid fundamentalist ideology and force everyone to learn and fully accept it. Ban all questioning. Make criticism a capital crime. Then label any opponent or anyone as someone who insulted the ideology.

Most science deniers and conspiracy theorists will claim that the source for their evidence-less claims is widely accepted or openly available. However, whenever you investigate these sources, you will find satire websites or individuals already known for spreading misinformation.

We’ll post announcements and news here.

Two years from now, I decided to wipe my list of known identity terminology, whether for positive or dehumanising intent. Now, whenever I have to describe someone in descriptive words, I have to think hard and deeper about them, and it actually helped me understand them more.

Apparently Godot now has Windows ARM64 editor builds that can run in a VM on an M-chip macbook with compat renderer. May be useful for testing

For context Blender doesnt run in a VM because VM GPU is not good enough for it so testing my blender-substance addon on the go was a problem

AI's best usage is accelerating scientific progress; this way, so many important things might get developed and fixed faster, from medical, energy, genetic research, even mental health issues.

PocketPal AI v1.5 is released 💯

Huge thanks to Asghar Ghorbani!

been working on a theme update for godot 4.4

Huge numbers of open source software need to learn to improve their UI and ux; without it, it will always be considered a joke, non-serious software.

It is mind-numbing talking to science deniers. They don't understand what evidence is or means, and they cling to the age-old, mindless statement, "It's just a theory."

Climate chnage is one of these problem, that most modern solution dont feel like anybody is taking seriously, we need actionable solutions that is practical, I am huge for Nuclear energy, as it's an actionable solutions that can be done.
