The American gamedev wish fulfillment is "a world with funding for the arts", and the European equivalent is "a world without grant applications"
why start with metal, arguably the most niche of them all? honestly it's because i develop on a macbook and i think it's neat
up next: the same thing, but webgpu/webgl (not sure how stable webgpu is yet)
up next next: the same thing but dx12
up next next next: the same thing but vulkan

SUPER COOL AND VALID REASONS TO TRANSITION, AN INCOMPLETE LIST:

1) I’ve had dysphoria my whole life and it ruined me. I dropped out of school and almost died before finally transitioning. Now that I am who I was always supposed to be, I can breathe easily for the first time.

2) It seemed cool.
ok but to be honest if someone actually transitioned purely cause they felt like it was a trend they wanted to get in on that would be cool as hell? like yeah, use that bodily autonomy, fuck around because you feel like it

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...
