As someone who loves board games, I don't really understand why there are so many people that are "afraid" of learning new games. In most situations, it's not that painful to learn a new game! And the process can be totally worth it!

Fair. In that case, if I were to teach you a board game, I'd just quickly say the game's goal and immediately start a trial run of the game, and only explain rules when I deemed them relevant, or when someone would ask something.

For more complex games, I've also made people play "simplified" versions of the game, and adding rules of the game to the mix whenever I saw that people were getting more comfortable with the game (for example, that's imo that's the best way to teach Mahjong).

I can imagine that could also be annoying to many people, not knowing how to fully play a game while playing it. But I think it's WAY better than something like people listening to every rule of the game for 20 minutes, without them interacting with the game. If I did that, they wouldn't even remember all the rules whenever they would start playing, so I don't think the explanations would be that useful at all... @~@ I also can imagine lots of people who like board games either being unable or not wanting to take the same approaches as I do with teaching board games.

Thank you for creating behind-the-scenes (BTS) content!

tbh I'd still interrupt the crap out of Satan, ignoring the glares, to ask a bunch of questions until I would feel somewhat confident that I sort of understand the rules. I know, I'd be super annoying. Or I would give up and say "shut up and let's start playing".

Woah, great job!

This is so funny

That's a good business model. "If our customers don't like it, our employees don't like it, and we can do business without it, why should we use it?"

For anyone wondering:

1. There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
2. This plugin isn't made by VideoLAN, it's made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
3. The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html

This is Cortana all over again. And I don't remember people using Cortana at all...

You forgot putting in the alt text that the ruler's scale starts at 1 instead of starting at 0.

OP, this was three months ago

Meanwhile in Linux phones:

From the update:

One area we want to focus on after 3.0 is improving our UI/UX design process. We have set up a separate UX repository to report and discuss issues related to design. We are looking to build a team of designers to discuss and create design improvements to GIMP that also respect existing user’s workflows. Denis Rangelov has taken a strong interest in this area and has already done great work in identifying, categorizing, and moving design issues from the code repository to the dedicated design section. Some design improvements have already been implemented for 3.0, and we look forward to working with community designers to give people a better experience!

It'll take some time, but it seems like improvments may be coming.

Really, go touch some grass, Mr. IP adress.

I love how contradictory this sentence is.

Ah yes, please do complain about it in a community that has nothing to do with it!

It's sad that people aren't taking him very seriously...

If you live in the UK or in another country where porn is being restricted:

• Talk with friends and family about getting a VPN (EDIT: Some recommendations I've heard are Air VPN, Private Internet Access, and, despite not having port forwarding, which is essentially one less major feature, Mullvad VPN. A thank-you to @[email protected] for suggesting the former two.)
• Learn to use the Tor network (it's really easy to start, and unlike popular belief, Tor isn't only for illegal activities)
• Pressure MPs that didn't vote in favor of the age verification bill by sending emails to them about it so that they fight (or keep fighting) this age verification nonsense.

You don't need to be a porn addict to do these things. In fact, they have started with porn, but they may as well keep going and fight for age verification in other types of content, making access to said content way more difficult. The best thing you can do right now is to learn to fight back.

Apparently "🥺?👉👈" is either very "extremist" or "group thinking" for that dev, lol

I'm glad that someone is finally trying to prosecute XAI for their crimes! Making a product that allows anyone to make deepfake porn and other types of also bad deepfakes, and proceding to do nothing about those cases, should be, in my books, extremely illegal, and I'm pretty sure that's also illegal in the legal framework of most European countries.
