This tip was SO GOOD I had to immediately run to my current project and implement it.

If you're spawning lots of prefabs in a #Unity project, attach them to an empty parent object so that they don't clutter up your hierarchy when play testing. Like so:

[SerializeField] Transform exampleEmptyObject;

GameObject spawnedObject = Instantiate(...);
spawnedObject.transform.parent = exampleEmptyObject;

Just make sure your empty object doesn't move, or else you'll move the spawned objects. Enjoy!

Gentle Reminder 💚🐘:

✅​ If you wish to warn your own audience about a topic that you deem disturbing, annoying, spoilers, and so on, DO use Content Warnings to wrap your own toots. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109282181601490676

✅​ If you do not wish to see toots about certain topics in your own timelines, DO use Filters to hide these toots for yourself. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323462169819778

❌​ But DO NOT, tell people in reply they should hide their own toots!

Respect what others wish to toot about.

You have the options to use Filters, Mute, Unfollow, Block, and even Report if a toot is breaking the Server’s Rules.

Stay kind and let others use their own voice 💚

If we want people to move away from centralized platforms (and we should), the way we do that isn't preaching the technical superiority and expecting that to win hearts and minds.

Folks on social media aren't looking for the best tech, they're looking for tech that helps them access community with a minimum of friction.

"We are living in the Golden Age of Getting Rich and Wielding Influence By Pretending Your Voice Has Been Silenced -- which brings us to the Twitter Files, & the people to whom they were handed by the wealthiest man in the world."

The Autoimmune Registry has determined that biomarkers of immune system activity similar to those seen in many autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases justify the inclusion of Long COVID on its list of diseases.

FFS, Elon. This is just pitiful.

Aside: Is Elon's new policy at Twitter going to be that Twitter pays for the operational costs of complying with 2703(d) orders instead of passing them along to the government? And if so, are his Saudi financial backers aware of and happy with this plan?

Please let a journalist ask him these questions.

Hi everyone! #introduction

I am a social anthropologist exploring the socio-political dimension of biomedicine and how biomedicine is functional to different statecraft projects. I have done some long term ethnographic fieldwork in Rome (Italy) and Athens (Greece). About Athens and medications, I have written stuff but also produced visual field-notes, comics and illustrations.

I just joined Kent&Medway Medical School as a research associate in Medical Anthropology- that's the actual news!!

Hope Hicks was the unwitting star of the Jan. 6 hearings yesterday. Just how damaging was her testimony and evidence to Trump? My piece today explores the question of Hope when to comes to indicting and convicting Trump.

Most people figure when they get to their 60s, it’s time to slow down, take stock, and hit cruise control.
That’s not what I did.
I came out of the closet, figured out this social media thing, and then made my Broadway debut in my 70s. Now I’m taking on London in my 80s!

To see me live and on stage in the West End, get tickets before they’re gone! https://Allegiancemusical.com

Proud of the #science community for being one of the first to learn from and port the useful features of social media to a more open platform:

When I tap the star on your post, it means I'm acknowledging you. It means "I saw this." Please don't interpret it as more than that. Kthx
