"So many rabbits"

Not one rabbit around. This false advertising will be reported to the central fediverse authority!

Doesn't a browser need to have javascript enabled to even run WASM? That beats the entire point of getting rid of js

I remember a developer complaining that getting updates approved in GOG takes significantly more time than on Steam, so GOG is partially at fault, too. Wish I could find the source on that

Increased productivity from better tooling has never equated to less working time. Increased productivity from better tooling always results in more working time, because now you can "produce more". The only exception is farm stuff for small producers. The big land owners can now use more land thanks to better tools.

That's why you need to convince, not show proof :)

According to this, bookings between 1.58 and 1.65 billion US dollars are expected, which corresponds to a decrease of 14 to 18 percent compared to the same period last year

This is something I'll never understand about the stock market. Revenue falls 14-18%, stock falls 70%.

Users under 13 years of age are migrating from the hits of 2025 to newer and permanently available games that generate less money per hour. This is reinforced by the revamped recommendation algorithm: It favors games with high long-term engagement and displays titles that monetize in the short term less frequently.

They're aiming for long term. Lose some revenue now, but ensure it lasts much longer, the "would you rather have 100 now or 1000 in a month?"

Fuck Roblox.

Not to defend them, just that we don’t really know what they intend, what they’re really trying to do.

They want profit. Maximum profit, preferably by the end of this quarter. Failing that, they want monopoly power. The fact that M$ is going all in on AI (it already spent over 150 fucking billion dollars on it as capital expenditure) with nothing to show but "trust me bro" revenue and empty promises should be all you need to know about how far up their own asses the higher ups are.

When they went on a studio acquisition spree, it was with the intent of gaining market share. This was back when cloud gaming was "the next big thing", but that it has mostly disappeared from headlines should make it obvious that it was not "the next big thing". Sure, only Google Stadia was shut down, but you don't hear much about GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna or even Xbox Cloud. "Cloud gaming" was nowhere near as big as they hoped and is unlikely to be, even with the absurd prices of electronics thanks to the AI craze.

We are talking about the M$ which is actively sabotaging their own mainline programs for greater profit extraction. Win11 is a mess of unwanted ads, worse than Win10 ever was. They bundled copilot everywhere - teams, office, even fucking notepad - in order to artificially boost adoption numbers.

All of the decisions that put focus on profit extraction come from higher up. None of them come from Joe Software Engineer, who has to do what the boss says or pack his shit and look for a job elsewhere.

Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?

As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".

In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.

I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.
