New day — new drama! The team behind WordPress (open source website engine) is attacking WP Engine — the second most profitable commercial platform for its users. And their actions seem illegal at this point.

Reminds me of how #GodotEngine attacking #RedotEngine (the only difference is that Redot isn't making money, while WP gets $450m/year)

But also, hear me out: #WordPress is crap and always was — it's slow and all WP websites look nearly identical. Drupal is the only popular tool that truly allow people to build CUSTOM websites with no code (thanks to Views) and all Drupal sites look unique and made with purpose.

GOG decided to reply to Valve, reminding that games on GOG are DRM free and can't be taken away from the user.

Before that Valve under pressure of several local regulations started to show a small warning during the purchase: they are now clearly saying that you are not buying games on Steam and will only have a digital license for it.

#Valve #GOG #CDPR

Also, in reality #Steam fully supports DRM free games and their installed versions can run without Steam at all (which for many developers' license agreements isn't breaking any rules).

The reason why Valve added the notification comes from new registrations and fines, not a certain change in the status of your games.

Since I'm working on a website again (first time since 2020), here's our decade of GUTV avatars (from left 2014, to right made today).

The original one lasted from 2014 to 2018 and was too heavy with too many shades, details, and lines. Then I decided to make it simple, but also make it look like a robot face. Later it was named PadBot and served me as game prototyping dummy.

Which one is your favorite?

Did you know that the variety of melodies is extremely finite and there's a movement to protect it from being owned by big record labels and AI generators.

A few years ago a small team managed to create all possible melodies and instead of claiming them, they gave them to public domain:

Google Docs now have Tabs, which are similar to Workspaces in many other systems. It gives exceptional tools to make several parts of documents to be presented separately.

For a book you can have the list of facts, names, and dates separately. For a game design document, you can store technical and narrative features, etc.

Imagine that AI not just makes fake Elon selling crypto, but also makes fake stores with fake items:

Inkscape (vector graphics editor that I hate and love) has been updated to 1.4. Has new UI themes + some new features. The most important are dozens of filters, new grids for editors, and new text editing tools.
