Sadly I think it's any job board that can be easily scraped these days, have had very similar results when posting Reddit "for hire" listings
Re:Mitos editor is a fork of Helix on Sunday October 18, 2026 @01:21PM (#50143162)
What does it do differently from Helix?
Part of me understands the sentiment behind a list like this but disavowing this much just feels impractical. Suggesting that anyone who wants to do 3D game development at all might be able to use LÖVE as an alternative (no shade to them, I know some folks doing cool LÖVR stuff) just doesn't feel that helpful. And Servo? Seriously? The one browser engine with a very stringent do-not-send-us-AI-generated-PRs policy? I dunno man. I think we all have our own personal lines and they draw theirs pretty harshly.

Currently not getting any kind of response on their UI when attempting to create something. No console messages or network requests are triggered when clicking the "Create" button.
Having done a bit of the early SubtleCrypto implementation work, this is so cool to see! Big shoutout to Kingsley Yung and others for carrying the implementation the rest of the way, especially on the newer algorithms.

My take is that it stems from the way we chat with others online, where we might be freer with our formatting as we type out messages in IRC/Discord/wherever. It's meant to convey "down to earth"-ness or speaking plainly, which I find fitting given the content of the post.

Chip-8 is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning how to build emulators, would highly recommend!
About time! Hopefully there's a path to immersive-ar support somewhere down the road.
Re:Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @11:03PM (#39366320)
Yes, both the Hubs client and related backend services (Reticulum, Dialog, etc) are all open source, but it's somewhat difficult to stand up manually. There's Hubs Community Edition which launched late last year that lets you spin up everything necessary in a Kubernetes cluster, which is what I've been working on getting set up on a small Hetzner VPS.

While I always marveled at how Hubs survived the 2020 layoffs (which included the people working on WebVR/WebXR at the time), seeing it shutting down is a shame. We used it to run monthly meetups for the WebXR Discord for just about the last 3 years. Very curious what's going to happen to it now, whether it gets handed off to another entity (i.e. Firefox Reality to Igalia) or left to the community somehow.
Re:The web just gets better with Interop 2024 on Thursday February 01, 2024 @07:52PM (#39223591)
I proposed WebXR, the rejection reason they gave was they "lacked testing infrastructure." While the WPT tests are run with a mocked XR device, I can maybe understand if they figured they would have to have physical devices to test real-world performance also.
It's curious that it only supports immersive-vr and not immersive-ar XRSessions given the focus of the headset. Wonder if it has something to do with their rendering backend, maybe something about camera access or even the features of immersive-ar sessions as well?

Regardless, I'll be interested to see if this starts to promote more interest in developing hand tracking support in upcoming WebXR apps.

Congratulations on the launch! How long was the development time on this?

Really nice writeup of the development process for Above Par-adowski WebXR Mini-golf by one of the lead devs.
