How does anyone come to the idea to built a tool to be used in a federated context and hardcode into it which instances are not allowed to be used with it?

However, this is just one person. Maybe the Dev did not expected anyone else to use it and just but the blacklist into it for personal reasons...

I think there is a lot that the author is right about.

However, removing X11 season was a decision of the Gnome Team not the Ubuntu team and I completely respect this.

Yes you can keep shipping it with the X11 optio, but someone has to maintain it. The gnome project has only limited resource so it's either removed or an unstable mess... removing in this case is always the better option IMHO.

I think the core takeaways from all this is, we (as a community) should definitely no longer recommend Ubuntu as the default distro for newcomer to the Linux world.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me... I see water availability different since.

I can only support this answer. Especially the official doc's are great.

I generally recommend not to blindly follow a tutorial. Instead think of your own little game (something of the scope that could be a mini game in Mario Party) and than divide it in small problems and start solving one after the other with the recourse mentioned above.

After finishing the first game your ready to make any game you want.

Design your game so that people don’t need to strain themselves or do repetitive actions.

Say that to the clash of clan/slot machine games

I need to text them right now...

Oh man... UK is so f* up right now. Hope times get better for you soon.

I think there is definitely so time traveling going on here.

Actually, I don't think there is a technology some could recommend that will magically boost your career. Because this will highly depends on what will be required in upcoming projects and no one can know this. So just go with whatever you want and what your interested in.

However, one skill that many technical people are missing is the ability to communicate with other people outside of their own skill spectrum. In my eyes this is the most important thing if we talking about career, because in the end the money never comes from technology it comes from humans and in many cases non technical people decide about you promotion.

So I don't think there is a blueprint for learning such skills, but I guess best thing to do would learning by doing. Go start communicating more with people outside of a technology bubble, try to organize events with other people or maybe even get politically active. Learn to know when people know what you are talking about and when not. Good example would be the use of the abbreviation LOE in your original comment. People seam not to understand what this actually should mean. Here it doesn't hurt much but doing this stuff to often when explaining a concept to a college maybe end up in false Implementation because of misalignment.

I don't know anything about your job or the company your working at, but just reassigning you to another team without any previous conversation or asking you how you would feel about that shows a really bad management. A no go if you ask me.

I think the poll is too confusing with the 5 options of which are all very Similar, to be honest. Actually I'm already not sure what I've voted for and it's just a moment ago 😅

I would say just do what you think looks the best regards the poll.

Actually I think you should stop thinking about the theoretical pros and cons and just start using Godot for a test project.

Like the simplest game ever. A capsule collider (or the Godot icon if you want to stick to 2D first) running from left to right and jumping over obstacles for example.

You will learn so much while you just figure out how to do stuff and that will probably not take longer than a week. Just think in very small steps like "how to move an object in Godot" or "how to react to user input in Godot" then google this questions and try implementing it for your project.

If at the end you feel like Godot is not for you do a similar project in the next engine and compare the two.
