They should make a Godot plugin instead. Having used both engines, I would argue that Godot is better.

Minecraft bedrock edition, that is.

Real Minecraft still supports VR.

The fact that you have to pay a service to pay taxes in the US is insane.

Here in japan if you work full-time or part-time your company files for you and you just fill in 5-10 fields of some sheet and then you're golden. The company is required to help you.

If you file your own taxes you go to the official tax website, follow their web form to input data, and then it generates a PDF. You then either use your mynumber to send the data and pay taxes online, or you go to the tax office (for about 30 minutes) and submit/pay there. It then let's you save your data in a file so you can finish your taxes in 5 minutes every year from then on.

If you don't have internet or a computer, you go to the tax office and go to their support desk that help you file on paper.

Can and glass jar drinks taste so much better to begin with. I never got why PET became the goto bottle... cans recycle so well too...

It feels like if we can have a 2x price increase on everything and somehow manage, we could have banned PET and had a 1.05x price increase and not even notice it.

You don't have to care.

No matter what you do, someone will think poorly of your actions. You can't please everyone.

Prioritise the things you personally care strongly about and leave the rest to the people who care strongly about those things. If that makes you a bad person, then maybe embrace that you're not perfect, and neither is whoever criticizes you for it.

They have been sanctioning sites like pixiv for years, and last year also were the reason Ken Akamatsu's (Love Hina author) manga archive site for out of print manga was shutdown, and why sites like Melonbooks (one of the largest in japan) only can accept JCB payment now.

Visa and MasterCard have a history of sanctioning anything that has anime and manga adult content, and I'm not talking about loli, just any adult content.

He deserves heavy compensation, and the people involved need to be fired.

I thought they were moving to closed source entirely which is against the GPL license but I didn't properly read the article it seems.

JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.

It didn't participate in visa and MasterCard's collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.

This is why open source should use the GPL license.
