People can't agree if that means that you can't go into the pool if you've stood next to someone who peed. Or if you have to burn your swimming trunks if you EVER peed in the pool. Others think that if you're peeing clear it's not really peeing in the pool. We are being specific, not wishy washy.
Tawny Code Cat 🖥️😺@tawnycodecat.bsky.social · last mo.Steps in the right direction, but would you trust a policy like: "We can't catch everyone peeing in the pool, so it's okay to pee in the pool as long as it's not substantial." It's better for everyone if the policy is "No peeing in the pool." The fact you can't catch everyone is irrelevant.
For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...
Changes to our Contribution Policies – Godot Engine
Godot is growing fast, so here is how we are dealing with the huge increase in contributions.

There's being a nerd, and there's reverse engineering Microsoft Bob so you can become the platform's first/only third party app developer. (Yes, this nerd is my partner. Yes, this talk will be amazing)
HP van Braam@hp.tmm.cx.ap.brid.gy · 8mo agoI'll be giving two talks at #fosdem2026 ! On Saturday on the main stage I will be giving a talk about developing a Microsoft Bob application, and what we can learn from it today. On Sunday I'll be talking about the history of MCI mail, the MEP2 protocol […] [Original post on mastodon.tmm.cx]
Vergeet niet te #stemmen er zijn altijd 150 zetels te verdelen. Als jij thuisblijft krijg je evengoed een regering. Maar dan mogelijk met een waardeloze kwast aan het hoofd. Stemmen heeft zin, is belangrijk, en het kost je 30 min. De PVV en JA21 zijn niet onontkoombaar. #verkiezingen2025

Protip! If you have a DVD rom drive that will read pressed DVDs but not burnt ones, you can adjust some pot meters and then it won't read pressed DVDs anymore either! Follow me for more pro tips.
This Godot Con presentation by @tmm.cx about using the free open source Godot game engine to make non game applications that will run anywhere was fantastic and thought provoking www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywl5... #godot

Eric Drexler announces a new open source tool to design and simulate advanced nanotechnology. Built on the Godot engine! It helps users explore nanoscale systems through physics based simulations. Get it here! msep.one
youtu.be/ywl5ot_rdgc another complete banger of a discussion, about how Godot is being used in applications, not just games, and taking it to the next level. @tmm.cx presents in their hilarious style.

Currently listening to HP van Braam's (@tmm.cx ) talk on developing non-game applications with Godot. He's been working on a nanotechnology design program. Fascinating subject. #Godot #Programming

It's been a pleasure watching @tmm.cx, Eric Drexler & Jonathan Ackley use the Godot Engine to build this platform. Designing nanomachines? With a tool built using open source video game technologies? So we can explore new frontiers of tiny science? Brilliant. news.msep.one/campaign/08c...

I want to become famous in the UK for no reason other than that I want to be on taskmaster. What are the British into these days? I'm sure there's enough time to get on season 21 if I start now. How hard can it be.

There we have it, the four genders of 1995. Code from the Microsoft Bob SDK! :)
My ship has finally arrived. I'll remember all of you little people when I've made it tho.
Anyone in the bay area interested in doing some thrifting tomorrow? I'm planning to start around 10 ish at urban ore and see where the thrift treasures me. Looking for old computer shit!

Our community is great! Come make your own bad ass little drifting race car! ❤️
Fidel Destro@fideldestro.bsky.social · last yr.I see Godot like a super versatile little compact car. One of those hatchbacks that sip gas and carry all your groceries, but they actually go sorta fast and corner tight, and it turns out there's a whole tuner community turning them into bad ass little drifting race cars.
Godot 4.4 gave Halloween Harry a nice performance boost on my 6 year old Nuc. Our test level with EVERYTHING ON runs at 60fps with 4.4 versus 35fps with 4.3. I am very happy! Well done @godotengine.org #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #IndieDev #buildinpublic #GodotEngine

This is the beauty of open source in action - everyone can benefit. Valve are no stranger to open source, and as it turns out they're using a little bit of code from Godot Engine now too.
