I made a video showing how I model low-poly maps in Blender for my game Mana Blade: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSLs...

@tomayac.com Hi Thomas! How would you recommend we check if the user currently has some Keyboard Lock keys locked? For example to show a custom message about holding Esc, which would not be shown to regular fullscreen users. Thank you 🙏

Movies you've watched more than 6 times with a gif.

I don’t usually ask for much despite giving a lot to OSS, but if my work has resonated with you, consider voting for my project Utsubo. It’s what’s helped me bring my best work to threejs, and your support would really help. Vote here:👇❤️ vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI. This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years. Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:

Not my home but I know my way around

You are not powerless in this mess. No matter where you're from, everything you buy and every subscription you pay is a vote with your wallet. Support companies from countries you share values with even if it costs a little more or is a little less convenient.

This is the 2nd time in a few weeks that I hear AI-generated music playlists in public places. If you've used Suno, you can tell from the weird vocals, soulless arrangements, and the fact that nothing shows up on Shazam. We're about to get flooded by shitty AI music in YouTube/Spotify playlists.

PlayCanvas launches PlayCanvas React. That's huge! blog.playcanvas.com/declarative-...

Mistral AI Small 3 model is SO fast. Getting responses in 500ms.

Never thought I'd be looking for European alternatives to services I use to not support literal nazism. I think I preferred the Covid arc.

Sometimes I genuinely get confused about whether I am on Twitter or Bluesky because the designs are so similar. But then I remember this neat trick: if it looks nice and like old Twitter, it's Bluesky. If it looks like a pile of garbage with a ton of useless tabs on the left, it's X. Problem solved!

Okay this is amazing 🤩

Search engines are effectively dead, but they were already full of SEO garbage blog posts to promote products even before gen AI. Gen AI is a threat to jobs for sure, but I don't think search engines are representative of how we consume content. No one watches AI videos or listens to AI music. [...]

VFX programming is fun! 🤩 This is all JS and React, no GLSL. tslfx.v1v2.io/particles #threejs #tsl #reactjs

✨ New in TSLFX: Added an animation that combines multiple shaders into one with a controllable global timeline. No API for this yet, just a demo for now! tslfx.v1v2.io/timing #threejs #r3f

I am starting ✨ TSLFX, a library of VFX using TSL (Three.js Shading Language). TSL lets you write node-based shaders in JS, with support for both WebGPU and WebGL. Check out the first basic examples: tslfx.v1v2.io/impact @threejs.org

The more I see people locking themselves into complex fullstack frameworks, the more I appreciate the simplicity and portability of jamstack. Having an SSG site + an API gives you a lot of freedom, to host your stuff anywhere without lock-in. You don't need partial-SSR-at-the-edge-prerendering.

I'm not averse to change but it's been 2 years and I'm still bummed out by React Server Components and Next.js' App Router. We had a nice paradigm that was easy to reason about, particularly with React Query. And now it's way more complicated and just weird. It doesn't spark joy anymore to me.

Together AI acquires CodeSandbox

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
