GlitterInfection , 3 months ago to Fediverse in Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: “Block Threads to Remain Listed”

Bullying instance admins into aligning with your values is absolutely the type of behavior that will ruin this protocol.

Meta is evil and Threads is lame. And I can block them on my own, thank you.

It's amazing how context matters on these things, because I was pretty peeved for her when I saw the original article.

Her comment feels a little callous and manipulative with this context, but I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that she didn't have these details when she made her post.

GlitterInfection , 3 months ago to Game Development in Flutter takes the stage at GDC

I wouldn't be able to compare them from a feature perspective, but it seems like Flutter itself is a cross platform general 2D app development toolkit, and people have used it to make games despite that not being its focus.

This Flutter Casual Games Toolkit looks to be a layer on top of Flutter to make that easier to do. Which is as reasonable a reason as any to create a toolkit like this.

But Godot as an engine predates the release of Flutter. So I would imagine starting fresh with no Flutter experience or jumping from Unity you would be probably better off with Godot.

What are some other 2D game engines that you're thinking about?

Everyone stating that the first panel is a unisex rule has really not given it much thought.

Men are not punished for being sexual beings in our society nearly as harshly or frequently as women. A man is not likely to be branded a "slut" for the fact that their naked body exists and was allowed to be photographed.

Yes, it could cause men harm to steal and leak their naked photos, especially if it's wielded as a weapon in a revenge porn scenario.

But no, men do not have an equal impact on them as women do in the case of having their nudes stolen and leaked.

And I am just going to venture a guess to say that the rule in the first panel has been said to or about women significantly more often than it has to men. I've only ever heard it said about female celebrities in the news.

I say this as a gay man who has tons of nude selfies and sex videos dating back 20 years or so. Every gay man I know has nudes. It's an expected part of gay dating and hook up culture to have photos like that to share. If they were just leaked to some website I would most likely not be impacted at all in any way, even if friends found them.

That's just not the case for most women.

In some countries it's against the law for women to leave the house without their husband's permission.

So there are likely men who actually would believe that a woman doesn't NEED to walk down the street any more than take a nude selfie.

You're right.

Nobody should own things because security is not good enough.

It's exactly like saying something as dumb as that.

And I love unisex rules that apply almost exclusively to women!

It's not a lie, you just failed to try to start it.

Fortunately for you, this lawsuit doesn't involve the Mac.

Fortunately for the rest of us, Apple doesn't have anywhere near a monopoly in any industry, which is honestly where this case should be dismissed.

If you have to take a specific month out of the year, limit the region, and define a category as "performance" to get your numbers fudged and you still only get to 70% you're not exactly making a strong case for a monopoly.
