Imagine being a tech company and deliberately undercutting your own fucking products because your product management is at each other's throats for resume padders.

What the fuck is wrong with Google Chrome on Android anyway? Android has a perfectly great native password manager API that everything else supports, but Chrome explicitly REMOVED its use of that API in favor of ONLY supporting Google's own manager.

I've tried this before, but apparently Aseprite's constituent libraries for documents and rendering are under MIT license instead of the EULA, so they can be used independently of Aseprite proper (i.e. a native importer for Godot)

Godot Engine minor complaint 

My point of friction with Godot lately is that a single imported asset can only technically produce one output Resource or Scene which can be referenced by other assets directly.

This is a rather annoying workflow barrier if you are, for example, exporting many pieces of a modular level design kit from a single project file, where each object shares materials and textures.

The model importer works around this by allowing you to create binary assets directly into your project on import, but these external assets do not share the same lifecycle of the parent asset like .import assets do. This turns out to have odd side effects in the asset manager not properly refreshing assets like you'd expect when e.g. a .glb with multiple objects is modified externally.

Zoom meetings aren’t actually end-to-end encrypted, despite misleading marketing on their website, in their security white paper, and in the user interface in their app theintercept.com/2020/03/31/zo by @yaelwrites and myself

Callout culture has irreversibly damaged being a citizen of the internet in ways people keep quiet about to not get hurt.
