the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

conclusions:

UI Toolkit still doesn't support custom materials or shaders soooooo still cannot use for my projects

understanding URP still feels like having an aneurysm compared to built-in rp, still feels tacked onto the engine w duct tape. i just want to write my simple shaders in peace man 😭

its pretty cool how every aspect of modern society is just a constant reminder of your powerlessness while at the same time extracting as much money as possible from your bank account at each step of the way

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

Hey look, YouTube is doing a thing that no one asked for, benefits no one, wastes resources, reduces functionality, destroys original content, burdens infrastructure, and worsens the user experience all so they can push a false narrative about tech that fundamentally doesn't work the way they want.
