Domestic abuse allegations made by Mafumafu, everything points in direction of Mikeneko
Note 1: Do not harass anyone! It does not help the victim, and potentially just can garner sympathy to whoever the perpetrator is.
Note 2: Mafumafu did not specifically name Mikeneko, however everything about A-san lines up perfectly. He probably can't name whoever is she as he might have had to sign an NDA. So unless there's coincidentally another female creator with very similar life...
Full text of translation of Mafumafu's statement: https://twitter.com/idkbria/status/1750906672384503868
Long story short: After an article in a Japanese magazine have revealed his marriage, Mafumafu had to go explain some further details on his situation. He detailed his relationship, and the abuse he received, especially the extreme jealousy.
During the divorce settlement, multiple people, including A-san have harassed Mafumafu as a cheater and domestic abuser. There's also some accusations that Mafumafu have killed A-san's blind cat, which hurt him the most.
Since events are matching up with A-san being an online personality who's returning in a new form and the death of a blind cat, people are believing she was Mikeneko. One another thing is, when Mikeneko worked for Hololive and the whole drama has just started, Hololive only said the talent's private life is up to the talent, and did not deny accusation of the two dating and/or being married. https://twitter.com/ziltoid1991/status/1751260196494582165
Can someone suggest me writings and studies on the relationship between fascism and art, and fascism and work ethics?
Recently I'm seeing more and more fashy people hailing AI "art", and while I might have made a Twitter thread on the subject a year ago, I want to dig deeper in what lies behind the scenes, besides of "woke mind virus", "the transes were mean to my VTuber oshi for plaing the wizard game, billions must die", "artists are not REAL workers, thus they must learn to weld" (which itself can be an art), etc. I want to write an article about the subject.
I personally see and even experience fascistic work ethics on a daily basis (I live in Hungary), however I still need to see the underlying workings, also I can point the readers to further investigate such things. Also I need more context for fascism's relationship to art besides futurism (will be very relevant to geek gatekeeping), marble pillars, and "returning to tradition by honoring the great masters".
I'm looking for some employment opportunity, forming/joining a new cooperative
I'm mainly looking for some software development type of job (preferably withing the game industry), but anything else would be fine as long as I get to make above minimum wage, as I'm currently below it, thanks to Hungary's half-assed "public employment" program (they hire people for government institutes for half the minimum wage in certain positions, in order to "give work, not money").
Unfortunately for me, in Hungary, we not only barely have any cooperatives, but also it's one of the countries that gave the term "worker cooperative" a very bad name after nationalizing them in the 50's, then no longer running as such. On top of all of this, I also don't have a college degree (mandatory for most developer positions, since besides having big names on your resume as past employment, is the only metric the Hungarian HR understands), I face discrimination due to being autistic (they read it as "not confident looking, thus not skilled", once they also asked my brother if I bite people for no reason), etc. I'm more than willing to eventually relocate, but first I would need to spend some money on my health too.
Where can I look for gamedev (or almost any other dev) jobs?
My main issues are living in a country (Hungary), where a college degree would be almost mandatory for any dev jobs (mainly due to HR being dumb), also I'm disabled so my only job opportunity is a crappy government program one that pays half the minimum wage for full-time employment (!!!!!!), but this is the only no-12 hour shift and no-6AM starting option (most of which are also like 60+km from me, which means I would have to wake up even earlier, which isn't good for my health at all). however, not only a pay is very low, but also the 7AM starting is beginning to be way too much for my health. I'm already on sleeping pills to try to make myself fall asleep before midnight (almost impossible), and I also don't have the money to get my meds changed to something better at a private doctor. Of course no disability benefits, because "I'm not disabled enough", and otherwise I would just spend it on luxury cars (a common pre-2010 myth in Hungary was that disabled people could buy brand new Mercedeses).
I primarily have experience with game development (mainly from open source stuff), but without a long list of corporate experience, I have an even harder chance. I could work at other places too (I have some audio development experiences too), but would like to stay far away from web development.
Looking for some Lua alternatives to be embedded in a game engine
Since I'm having untracable issues with Lua due to its API and lackluster documentation, I've decided to drop it from my game engine (PixelPerfectEngine) in favor of some easier to use alternatives.
What I need is:
- open source
- small footprint even if it at the cost of some complexity (I need it as a scripting engine, not as a replacement for compiled application languages)
- integer support (I don't care if I could just round it on the backend)
- C or C++ ABI
- can be embedded into a software (yes, there are people that suggest you to use janky solutions like passing data in files and command line)
Even a better Lua implementation would suffice, and if I had the time, I would port the official one to D (my main language), while getting rid of the godawful stack method of control.
Some alternative to Lua, or at least the mainline Lua release?
I'm having a lot of trouble with the lack of documentation (I had to dig and poke around for days to get it working not from the files directly, only for it to stop working again in the same way, all while still having the fix for it), and the lack of an incentive from some of its other users in the D community to make anything newer than 5.1 working (I NEED INTEGER SUPPORT).
Basically I need a relatively lightweight scripting library for my game engine written in D, that isn't a toy language (which doesn't have integer support). Most other scripting libraries lack integer support (even Lua did until 5.4, because yOU CaN JuST uSE rOUnDIng ON youR BaCKeNd) and/or are heavily bloated (I don't want to include 50+MB stuff just because it's trendy to make your scripting language a slow and clunky application language (I'm looking at you, Javascript!)). I'm using D, but it can interface with both C and C++.
I would be fine with Lua, and if I had the time, I'd just reimplement it in D without the godawful and confusing stack method of interaction. But now I have to look for some feasible alternatives.
The "Sovereignty Protection Authority" is harmful and against the rule of law, yet it will not intimidate independent media
A joint statement by independent Hungarian papers in response to the newly adopted Sovereignty Protection Bill.
