Troubling news on the #unity3d front. #gamedev

@hq Ouch. Do you have link to a news story on this?

@hq What happened? Is this just about the layoffs?

Rupert Murdoch's WSJ: That 10-year-old rape victim Biden mentioned? No evidence she exists.

(We're still waiting on the receipts for the "stolen" election, which not even Trump's own bogus auditors could find.)

Ideologues of all stripes: "The pandemic has made it clear to everyone that I was right all along: we need more/less unions, taxes, guns, police, religion, poetry, regulation, mass transit, nuclear power, open-source software, capybara-themed throw pillows ..."

Yup, that did the trick!

It also seems that quote toots can only be created on some servers at this point.

@eqyo Soapbox?

@eqyo "column", as in a newspaper?

@Sapereaude09 Say, how did you manage a "quote toot"?

A colleague in the #art department is looking for #software for accepting art submissions. Does anyone know of an existing, easy-to-use #FOSS solution? #mastoart

They say:

"There are numerous art submission programs that exist, often used when there is an open call for proposals or even in the art department at LC, we use it when we're hiring for tenure-track positions. But they're unbelievably expensive for small non-profit arts organizations to use. Some organizations just build their own software for artist submissions but many obviously don't even have the capacity for that. The software generally allows people to submit up to a certain amount of images, video files and then also writing and other application information. The most common one might be something like SlideRoom."

It's about time to start planning my #fire (or, if the landscape becomes too crispy, glow) #dance for the New Student Orientation show. Thinking about using the music from this glorious number from RRR:

My choreography would be a lot less leg and a lot more fire.
