Mon monde idéal prend Wikipedia pour modèle : libre, gratuit, participatif, à but non-lucratif, par et pour les êtres humains.

On vit une époque entre Groland, le Gorafi, les Simpsons et South Park, mais c’est beaucoup moins drôle dans la réalité.

Ce matin sur France Info, ils donnaient la parole à un ancien détenu de la Santé, un homme d'affaire condamné pour détournement de fonds qui parlait des conditions de détention. Ca m'a intrigué et son nom me rappelait quelque chose, du coup j'ai checké son pedigree, préparez-vous à mourir de rire :

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'

• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models

Comme les nouvelles font déprimer, et donnent l'impression que l'être humain est fondamentalement dégueulasse, vous voulez une histoire qui remonte un peu le moral sur la nature humaine ?

Un excellent article technique de @pixinn.bsky.social sur la Saturn et ses capacités 3D : www.xtof.info/Yes-the-SEGA...

Et la version en VF traduite sur @assomo5.bsky.social : mag.mo5.com/272959/chron...
Bonne dégustation.
Yes, the SEGA Saturn was designed with 3D in mind
This article will demonstrate that, contrary to some widespread believes, the SEGA Saturn was engineered to be good at 3D.

Godot adoption rate is rapidly growing, both in number of released games and used in game jams. On Steam it's also noticeable Unity share is decreasing while Unreal and Godot both growing. I think in 5-7 years Unity might be closer to 50%. www.youtube.com/watc...
