I wrote an SDL replacement but worse after SDL refused to work with audio streams for me even after a week of googling, it took me the same amount to get it work with WASAPI directly as looking up audio streams, instead of the many easymp3playback.dll type solution. Another one week was making ALSA working. At least it's in D, so I have an easier time with development.
I also almost was involved with a YanSim clone development called "Love Letter: My True Feelings", but shit just started to hit the fan (character designer just left), so I decided to not get involved as a coder.
Be careful, you'll upset the "real christians", who will tell you about how this person is a "fake", because Jesus said "love thy neighbor", and all the other things in the Bible "don't count" for some reason.
To all the "not true Christian" chanters: Religion is unfortunately way too broad to interpret in many ways, especially christianity, which is filled with many contradictory views. One can just selectively refer to different translations and/or different chapters on the same issue. Jesus was famous for not forgiving child abusers, but the Old Testament has a chapter about "Menstrual Marriage" (allowing adolescent child marriage).
Extreme disdain for democracy. Some psychopaths want to bring us back before the age of enlightement, while using enlightement or (especially in case of China) post-enlightement ideas to do so, because we citizens are all like badly behaving 12 year olds, who need 24 hour supervision on every day on the week, every month of the year, or we might "go insane" from doing something a psychopathic madman does not want us.
Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as "the E.T. of the mid-2020's". Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.
Well, executives like to oversell the ability of genAI, so people think it can fully replace human coders right now. In actuality, it's just a more resource wasting Google. I usually try to look for code with public domain license instead to copy and modify (I try to credit the original authors nevertheless), and rarely peek into less permissive codes (had to do it for some OS API stuff, because people forgot how do do what SDL does without using SDL, my worst offense was to check the keyboard scancode lookup table in multiple Linux versions).
It's a drawing! It's fiction! And if you come with the "normalizing" argument, then your "Y'all need Jesus" is normalizing the christofascism that will destroy this world.
And republicans will create the "Let boys be boys" act, that will not only allow such behavior, but also tries its best to criminalize the callouts of this kind of behavior.
If we just got rid of copyright, we would just see Disney flipping other people's work without credit, just like how genAI grifters try to use it currently.
They're white, different rules apply to them. Conservatism was always about "different rules for different people", fascism is just the bad cop to conservatism's good cop.
The 1gb of KDE dependencies are one time only, but there's also the option of just using OpenGL + bare x11 or Wayland for GUI. If my game engine could pull it off, if IMGUI apps could pull it off, then everyone could pull it off, we just need a UI framework not ddependent on either GTK or qt.
Most of the reason why the Logitech driver is so gargantuan is a separate Chromium browser instance, because someone thought that apps should be all websites first, which lead to most GUI libraries being developed for javascript and most devs being taught to be web developers.
I prefer the term "spite-driven development".
