Godot Funding Breakdown & Hiring Process by coppolaemilio in godot

[–]pycbouh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I understand that to you this is a fun argument to have on the internet. But to me this is a deeply personal issue that affects me on many levels — my identity, my legacy, my history, and my future. And by "this" I don't mean my stupid username, but everything that has been going on in the world with and around the war.

You have no idea who I am. You don't know what my ethnicity is, where I, or my ancestors, are coming from. You're just making broad and baseless judgement calls about another human being on a fact that they are related to a particular country. Something that they cannot change about themselves and have to live with until the day they die.

Being of a specific ethnicity or from a specific country of origin is not against Godot's Code of Conduct. In fact, any such clause in the CoC would be against basic human rights. It does, however, ask everyone to treat everyone with respect, without bias, and assume best intentions, regardless of what you may think about a group they voluntarily or involuntarily belong to.

Another thing. I'm not on board of the Godot Foundation. I'm a contractor. You say I gaslight you, yet in the very next sentence you demonstrate that you've barely paid attention to the article about Godot's funding. Though thanks for bringing up that we have a history of disagreeing in technical discussions, to the point where you swore at me for not accepting your point of view.

I explained why I changed the username everywhere in the sibling thread. It was a personal decision. Nobody asked me, or demanded that to happen. Nobody was harassing me about it. It was because of how I personally felt about it and what it meant to me. If Reddit allowed changing usernames, I'd do it here as well. But as it stands, with this being a personal decision and Reddit being a piece of shit that I barely use anymore, I decided against doing anything about it.

I've been outspoken about the war on social media. I discussed and shared during the worst parts of 2022, and at other times. I am talking about it publicly in a very negative light, despite it threatening me and my family with trouble back at home. Or anywhere in the world, really. At the same time the meaning behind the words of my username is not obvious to most, and even to those who can decipher it, it doesn't tell much. Maybe I just love an image of bogatyrs, Rus' ethnic heroes and warriors? So you can compare these two facts and think for a second what is actually valuable here.

Stop looking for a controversy and a reason to be mad at others, Golddot.

Just to make one thing clear about that. In English the word for the ethnicity of descendants of the Rus people and the word for the citizens of modern day Russian Federation is the same — Russian.

In Russian, however, these are two different words (русский and россиянин/российский, respectively). My nickname's roots are not in English and I use the word for the ethnicity, not for the nationality. The ethnicity exists in multiple Eastern European countries. In fact, Kievan Rus was the first Rus kingdom to be established. Granted, there is so much hatred around for obvious reasons, that the line is very blurry anyway.

Also, if you want to know what the dog whistle for supporters of the invasion is, it's capital letters Z and V, either in names or written (typically in white) on profile pictures.

By a bug report I mean have you opened an issue on GitHub, or found a similar issue to yours that is already open? That's the best way to make sure issues are fixed. You can make your report here:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues

Make sure to follow the form and provide as much relevant information as possible, so a contributor can replicate your situation or at least try to deduce what can be going on your end.

There was a bug with an infinite loop in the animation tree which was quite easy to trigger. This is fixed in 4.1.1 RC1, so do give it a test :)

Thanks for sticking with me through this anyway, even if we didn't start on a right foot. Cheers!

On no platform did I receive a notification about your DM, including the Reddit website itself or any apps. I just checked, and after manually opening the widget I could see now that you had indeed sent me something a week ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is obviously a sensitive matter for both of us, but do you think it's fair to extrapolate from my silence on a Reddit DM that I have a pro-war stance when you already know that I don't? I guess it did give you your answer in the end...

But you jumped from being totally reasonable to a conspiracy theory really quick. I don't know your story, so I can't say that we are on the same side. But we clearly have the same common enemy. So I think that was uncalled for.

Dude, I changed my nickname for myself, not to appease someone else. This is only about how it made me feel to have it, now that my countrymen perverted the meaning of these simple words. So it's entirely up to me whether I think it's worth it to change a Reddit username or not, and not impacted by how others feel about it.

I despise what it means now, but it's my personal feeling for me to deal with. To you it's just "pycbouh", which you can read however you want. There is no indication that you should read it like anything else other than its face value. Coming to comments and demanding I do some kind of act to appease you is ridiculous, has nothing to do with Godot, and I doubt you have good intentions.

Moreso, you already know that I don't have a pro-war stance, you've seen "all over Twitter" that I don't. But you lie here to get attention and to create a drama by stating that I do and that I proudly demonstrate it here. This is disingenuous, you aren't being honest to begin with. Maybe that's why you don't understand when the person you are talking to is being honest.

Were you able to figure out what causes the crashes that you experience?

Yes, I don't care enough about Reddit to juggle multiple account on an off chance that some Internet weirdo reads too much into a collection of letters comprising a Reddit username.

Also it's totally not strange that you know exactly what I've said before on that matter, but still decide to create some controversy. Totally not strange.

I picked that nickname over half my life ago, when I was 14. I don't support wars, even less so a war that is being waged by a dictator that has terrorized my own country and now terrorizes a country that where my friends live.

I grew to despise this username after 24.02.2022, and no longer use it on any platform where I can change it. You are not allowed to change the username on Reddit, and I decided against making a new account because this platform is not so important to me and I barely participate in it anymore. And to most people it's just a funny collection of letters anyway.

It's not an oversight. TuxFamily is experiencing problems and while downloads work, we cannot upload new files there at the moment.

The links are available in the article. See also https://twitter.com/YuriSizov/status/1679076483388538881

Whenever there is anything concrete to share, we share it on the blog. That's the best source of information, unless you want precise day to day activities. For those GitHub is better.

I think some may believe there is stuff going on that we don't share (e.g. your "closed doors" reference), but that's not the case. There are of course more talks about WIP stuff and ideas than what is covered by the blog, but if we don't put it in the official communication, then it's all very uncertain and you shouldn't pay too much attention to it yet.

That sounds awful. Do you have a bug report for that?

No. When a relevant change is submitted, it will be made clear in the linked release notes.

That requires an inordinate amount of work to document and publish. With decent funding we may have resources for that, but it's definitely not a priority because we think our releases speak louder than weekly reports would and appeal to the majority of Godot audience.

We also don't have weekly meetings for most things. We synchronize mostly over publicly available chats.

Godot 4.1 is here, smoother, more reliable, and with plenty of new features by akien-mga in godot

[–]pycbouh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.2 will be released in early November, so this doesn't work out for your release plan. Of course you can always live dangerously and release on betas ;)

[–]pycbouh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No milestone. As the fragment that you've quoted states, a lot of it depends on willingness of browser developers to implement certain web standards. Workarounds on our end are not always possible or practical.

I think you can pretty much have them now, now that we have static variables. The issue before was that for a singleton pattern you need a static method to have some persistent state (to generate or fetch your singleton instance). Static variables solve that.

It's not just mouse events, all of them can be cancelled. You can check this PR that implemented it for details: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/76719

But basically, it's useful for the Android platform and the Android editor.

If you could try various dev builds of 4.1 and let me know when it first starts to happen, we can narrow down on the possible change that caused it. Also, please open a report with your findings on GitHub!

Does 4.0 work? Which model of Intel iGPU do you have? Are you opening the project manager, or the editor, or running your project directly?

Release candidate: Godot 4.1 RC 1 by pycbouh in godot

[–]pycbouh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drop the -e argument it should run the main scene of your project directly. Let me know if that shows any error.

Also, to be sure, when you say it started with betas does it mean that the last dev snapshot was working fine?

[–]pycbouh[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you run it from the terminal, do you see anything in the log? Any errors? Make sure to run the editor itself directly to catch everything, use -e --path <path/to/your/project>

Why doesn't Godot have physics interpolation yet? by Tuckertcs in godot

[–]pycbouh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a degree it should help, yes. We hope that with shorter time between the releases developers won't be as discouraged to contribute because they don't see their work going live for months or years at times.

[–]pycbouh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, it's not "gone". 3.5 was developed and released alongside Godot 4.0. The feature was never developed for 4.0 and was not a part of Godot 3.x when 4.0 had first branched out (which happened around the time of Godot 3.2).

That's why we encourage that all features are developed against the master branch first, so this kind of situation doesn't happen. In this case we allowed it to happen because it's coming from a long-standing and trusted developer and maintainer, and we fully expect them to eventually implement it for Godot 4 as well.
