    Apple has absolutely been behaving like the new 00’s Microsoft and I’m glad they’ve been torn a new one over this, totally deserved. Stop listening to your idiot finance wonks over everyone else Tim https://daringfireball.net/2025/04/gonzales_rogers_apple_app_store_ruling

      Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers Rules, in Excoriating Decision, That Apple Violated Her 2021 Court Order Regarding App Store Anti-Steering Provisions
      from @gruber
      Are the results of this disastrous for Apple’s App Store business? I don’t think so at all. Gonzales Rogers is demanding that Apple ... do what Phil Schiller recommended they do all along. But are the results of this disastrous for Apple’s reputation and credibility? It sure seems like it.

    I do think LLMs capture the zeitgeist in one way: that we’re all supposed to just accept that things are a bit shite all the time, in tech and otherwise. That it’s just how things are & we shouldn’t expect better. Shut up, accept the slop, things getting worse, the enshittification. It’s just the way things are.

    No, piss off. Things can be better, we’ve done it before. Just because some people can’t or won’t remember, doesn’t mean we all have to accept their low standards.

    Right folks I finally have a definitive answer to which social media platform is best in 2025. I have made an entirely scientific assessment based on the response to my Tiramisu photo post (https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@sinbad/114173681743652265)

    Mastodon: 28 likes, 2 boosts, 6 replies
    Bluesky: *crickets*

    There's just no competion 😉

    @mcc I keep telling people that writing documentation is often the best way to realise an API/tool you’ve designed makes no sense or could be significantly improved with small changes that you never realise until you describe it. Also best results are when you do this after not touching the project for a month

    Well I guess at least those of us who have warned about the risks of entrusting your entire digital existence to big American companies can feel less like raving street preachers these days. Not so crazy now to advocate for retaining more control via small, local or federated solutions eh

    I have to hope that the tides will turn once again towards positive, progressive and forward-thinking behaviour, but I sincerely hope that when they do, people don’t forget all the corporations that *immediately* abandoned their so-called principles the second the opportunity arose

    I’ve had a low opinion of big tech for a while but even I was surprised at the sheer speed of capitulation. They really are just empty husks with a logo

    Feck, I'm stressed out right now. Trying to deal with some family stuff and random other shit I don't need just keeps popping up and making things more difficult for no reason. 😩 A lot of it caused by stupid tech 🖥👉🌊

    @JeremiahFieldhaven Is suspect there was an ambiguous function issue and this was the easy fix

    Sigh. "Unresolved external" linker error I've just been WTF at turns out to be that the const version of a UE function is NOT exported for some reason, while the non-const version is. I tend to try to pass const objects around if I'm not modifying them but can't in this case.

    Gotta say that although I've had various issues with Epic's publisher software over the years (hardly unusual in this space TBF), the support response when you need to raise something is pretty good.

    Fab support response was much faster than expected. They said they reset the trader info workflow so I could retry, but now the warning on my dashboard has just gone, and the trader stuff has a button for "changing" it, so hopefully that means it's now gone through based on my submission last year. 🤞

    @djlink @on_code I guess it's just supply & demand, lots of people will work in games for little because it's their dream and that gets exploited. While in big tech they're constantly in an arms race just trying to fill their massive staff so throw daft money at almost anyone. Ofc they're also based in extremely expensive places a lot of the time - although that's largely because the big tech firms were there splashing the cash so it's been self-reinforcing

    @on_code @djlink On the high side. $200-300k including benefits is not at all unusual for a "normal" dev

    Ugh, despite submitting my "Trader Status info" in May last year, Fab is moaning at me that I have to do it by 1st Feb or lose access to the EU. Clicking on the link to do it just says "Thanks for submitting your info". So now I have to file a support request to ask whether I actually have to do anything else or not. 🙄
