It resonate for probably like 5 minutes and then we can,
uh,
talk about probably recycling and stuff.
Um,
all right,
so welcome to office hours.
I'm your host,
Brent.
We're gonna be talking about resume for the next sort of half hour or so.
Um,
uh,
let's get going with some questions.
If you've got additional questions,
please drop them into the office hours thread,
and we will get started.
Um,
let's take a look.
Um,
J Fors how you do?
Uh,
I'd hate to like parrot last week's answer,
but just like not good.
Um,
trying to get on top of it.
I've got some like
sinus investigations next week,
I think it is.
Um,
they're gonna
head CT me and then they're gonna like stick a balloon up my nose and be like
and they're gonna,
they're they're gonna fix everything.
So that's cool.
Uh,
maybe that'll fix it.
I don't know.
Uh,
it got to the point where,
like,
I went to bed at like a,
a reasonable time for me.
Everyone's like,
Oh,
it's past midnight,
it's not reasonable.
Uh,
just a
big heads up for you guys.
It doesn't matter when you sleep,
it just matters how long you sleep and the quality of the sleep and for different.
People that can occur at different times of the day,
and anyone that is trying to aggressively make you sleep at any particular time is,
is not OK.
With the one exception that if you are a child,
you should listen to your parents,
but if you're an adult,
if you want to stay up till 40 a.m. watching YouTube,
you can do that.
Um,
anyway,
the point being,
um,
I went to bed at a reasonable time for myself,
couldn't get to sleep for various factors including,
um,
including sinus related.
And after about 2 hours I got up
and and fellow was like,
hey,
what's going on?
Why,
why are you awake?
And I'm like,
give me a second,
and I just like,
I don't know,
I took like 3 or 4 varieties of medication,
all safely,
I promise.
Um,
had a glass of water
and then went back to bed and everything was fixed
through like the nuclear bomb of meds.
Uh,
moving forward,
Alexis,
how do you keep motivated to work on rest night?
I've been thinking about that a lot recently cos like people sometimes ask me
like that similar sort of questions and like I don't even know right now.
Um,
I think beyond anything it's like the,
the challenges are,
are different.
And varied each week.
Um,
there are like shit sucks like a lot of the time,
but
at least it only sucks till you've fixed it,
right?
Um,
you do have to,
you know,
sometimes go back and and work on stuff some more,
uh,
but because of the varied things that we do,
there's all kind of like always something new to do on.
That's another reason why,
um,
on our prioritisation list we kind of have that like developer fun,
developer interest kind of like segments.
It's because like,
sometimes we're having such a bad week and we can't get anything done.
It makes sense to pick up something
completely,
completely different to what I'm working on,
that's still productive,
right,
cos it's probably still attached to a ge issue.
Um,
but that can work,
um,
or maybe just like
increasing the brain volume just a little bit.
So last week for me that was the,
uh,
user agent stuff,
because,
um,
user agents were broken and I'm like this is kind of silly,
right?
Uh,
for those who don't know,
the user agent uh system is,
it,
it's a header that's added to every web request that you make.
So when you go to Google.com,
it also sends along the fact that you are running,
uh,
Chrome.
Uh,
browsers are a little bit
complicated to use your agents,
and I don't really want to go into that,
so we'll just say Chrome right now.
Anyone that knows the truth?
Oh no.
Um,
but Resinak wasn't doing that in all cases.
Now it is,
and it was a nice fix,
right,
cause it was completely fresh,
like it was an area I hadn't touched before.
Uh,
I learned some new things,
uh,
and then I finished that one and I had to go back to the stuff I didn't want to do.
That's fine.
Back in native land,
uh,
today.
Uh,
I might need some help from Yosh later.
Yosh,
I will,
um,
DM you if I,
if I need your help.
Um,
J4's already helped out a lot,
but,
but like I might need
Josh's Linux expertise,
so I will,
I will DM them.
Right,
moving forward,
um,
Yo,
what's the dog doing?
Well,
the dog,
um,
I actually had to separate myself from him yesterday.
Um,
it,
it's
difficult when,
like,
it's such a small apartment and there's only two of us,
but there are some times where,
like,
I feel myself getting like slightly.
angry at him for like his behaviour,
and I'm just like,
all right,
we,
we need to,
we need to chill out,
right?
So I put him on the other side of the baby gate,
um,
which meant that he was allowed access to the bedroom,
the bathroom and the hallway.
uh,
and then I put a blanket over the baby gate so
he couldn't like just stare at me all the time.
Um,
and he was unhappy for a little bit,
but then he settled down.
And when I went to go find him later,
I found him asleep on my bed,
which I have no issue with.
I actually bought stairs so he could do that.
And it was like great.
He recognised that we needed to chill out
and he took some time to sleep on his bed.
I also moved his water to that side of the house,
so he had a good time.
There might be something we do um we do again,
um,
particularly if I'm in VR,
right,
cos I.
Sometimes I've almost sat on him or trod on him,
or in otherwise like injured him in some way
due to the fact that VR needs all your limbs moving basically.
Um,
if you want to go into like realms of like dog training and and dog sort of care,
uh,
lots of the sort of traditional American look at dog care says that you should
have a crate for your dog,
and that the dog should spend,
you know,
like 3 or 4 hours at.
Time in their crate
or whatever,
and only been let out when it's suitable for you.
And that doesn't line up with the way that I brought up dogs
whilst I was um growing up in in the UK which is like
UK don't have dog crates,
we have dog beds and,
and,
you know,
dogs just sort of like learn that they are a member of the household
and that they need to act in a certain way and and it's cool.
It's also like kind of um
freeing when you remember that like even though they're a dog,
right,
so they don't understand English,
they can't do their taxes,
um they're still an adult.
And so
they are equally responsible for their behaviour
as as I am.
And so that's fine,
sort of a healthier way of looking at
sometimes what they do and
whether it's my fault or,
you know,
if it's my responsibility.
And it's like,
so it's not my responsibility to
24/7 cater to the whims of that dog,
it's what I mean,
right,
you know.
It's OK for them to just chill out and leave me alone for a bit.
That's what's happening right now.
They're in the um.
Uh,
they're in,
uh,
a little bedroom.
I don't know if they're on the,
on the bed or on the crate,
I could,
I could find out
if I just find my home.
Here's my phone.
OK,
well,
the,
the dog crate camera has decided it doesn't want want to respond to web requests,
so that's,
that's fine.
Um,
moving forwards,
uh.
It says,
how do I get a resol to resonate?
So this refers to an April Fool's joke.
I don't want to spend too much time on them,
um,
particularly because if people are listening back to these in the,
in the future,
like,
they don't make sense because they can't activate,
they can't see those,
those,
those things now.
Um,
so,
uh,
that's an April Fool's joke,
gnore it.
Uh,
temporal shifts is how the heck are preview bubble locations decided?
I believe you're talking about thumbnails,
and so the default behaviour for thumbnails is,
um,
every single user in the session
takes a thumbnail,
uh,
a regular interval,
and then periodically,
the host asks the users in the session
for who.
Has the most up to-date suitable thumbnail,
and I'm not entirely sure what the,
the suitability,
um,
criteria are,
but
based on that decision,
uh,
that's the thumbnail that is used.
If you wish to override that,
you can use the thumbnail components.
I believe there is a video on my channel.
Manji Temple says,
how good is the recycling where you live?
Absolutely
horrendous.
And the reason it's horrendous is simply because I live in an apartment block.
Um,
apartment blocks basically have a trash chute.
Some have multiple trash chutes,
um,
depending on how big they are,
etc.
Mine only has one,
but it actually has two.
It has the recycling chute and the trash chute.
Uh,
both
consistently have the wrong material in them
and consistently are blocked or otherwise obstructed.
I walked past yesterday,
and for those who are a little bit squeamish,
I apologise,
um.
The trash chute had blocked again,
which had
forced the trash chute open,
which had forced the door to the trash chute,
cos basically like it's like a regular door,
and then behind the regular door
there's like a chute,
just imagine a trash chute,
um,
and then there's,
you know,
the actual chute.
So the trash chute had blocked,
forced the door open,
and then someone's unsealed trash bag
had decided to spill
its contents into the hallway,
um.
I don't really like,
I can't really like describe what that was,
but you can just imagine it.
It was just like someone else's trash
spilled out across the hallway
because the trash chutes are always clogged.
Uh,
so what I mean by that is like in terms of recycling,
I put all my recycling in the recycling chute and it goes down the hole,
but I don't know where it goes beyond that.
So I've seen the recycling,
um,
like dumpsters that we use,
and I've seen,
uh,
what's in them as I walk past them,
usually with Mr.
Dog,
who's now barking at the door.
Come,
feather.
Um,
I
don't suspect there's much success in recycling.
Um,
I think recycling is like
a scams the wrong word,
right,
because there is an attempt,
right?
There is an attempt by the government,
there is an attempt by your local council to recycle things.
But I think that like the complexities around recycling are what causes
the sort of statistics that you can go look.
Up,
I don't know the exact numbers,
but there is a statistic for how much recycling actually gets
recycled and how much of it just goes straight to landfill.
And even if it doesn't go straight to landfill,
sometimes we sell trash to other countries
who then just sort of put it in the ocean.
It's a really complicated system.
What I want to do,
um,
is I want to,
you know,
move into a property.
It's myself,
like owned by myself,
but I also want some land associated with that property.
Uh,
and the reason behind that is because,
um,
well,
A,
if it's your own property,
you can kind of manage your recycling and your trash a little bit better,
but B,
you can also compost,
which means like no food goes into waste,
um,
because believe it or not,
or at least in the.
The good view of recycling,
you shouldn't
put food waste into
the recycling bin because it's not recyclable in that manner.
You should also shouldn't put food waste into the regular bin because that's gross.
You should put food waste into a compost heap.
That's what I want to do.
Uh,
moving forwards,
did you see,
uh,
I don't know how you pronounce that,
it's the Gary's mod 2,
basically.
Um,
did you see Gary's mod 2 wants to go open source?
I did not see that.
I haven't done anything about it.
Someone gave me a key a while ago,
but then I forgot about it.
Um,
Marty says,
how's the UI design language for resinate called?
I've been told radiant UI,
but I'm just asking to make sure.
Uh,
it's incorrect to call that the UI design language.
UI design language is,
is like,
uh,
it's
something else,
right?
There's a different terminology there.
Um,
the name of the UI system that we are building is called Radiant UI though.
Um,
radiant UI itself could host many different design languages,
um,
if that helps you sort of visualise what's going on.
If you think about like
bootstrap versus tailwind,
if you're a web developer,
those are two different like UI systems,
but they also have a UI design language,
right?
They all look like all the parts look the same,
that's UI design language.
Uh,
Marty says,
are the April Fools builds archived or they become.
Media.
They're archived to some extent in the,
they're available on Steam Depots,
you can always download previous releases.
However,
if you download um the releases from yesterday
night,
we'll just call them the April Fools releases,
time zones are terrible,
um,
if you download the April Fools releases at any point after today.
Uh,
they won't work.
They'll just be like normal releases that are sort of down rev.
Um,
our April Fool's integration is based on date,
not update.
Um,
the only reason why there was an update timed for
the April Fool's um shenanigans was so that we could add more goofy stuff.
But now the goofy stuff is there,
it will turn itself on and off depending on if it is,
um,
uh.
April Fool's or not.
Australia's Red Cycle programme felt like a sound.
I don't know nothing about that.
Maybe I'll look it up,
I'll probably forget though.
Uh,
you know,
uh,
Renport says,
did you know that last Tuesday's April 1st was 11 years ago?
Uh,
I don't
entertain any sort of mathematical oddities in my brain,
they're just they're not hap like
some like.
There are um
there are people who practise uh like
something similar to astrology,
but it's to do with numbers,
it's like numerology or something.
And uh if you watch their content on TikTok,
you'll see why I don't pay any attention to,
to calendars and stuff.
Because like,
or just watch the number 23,
right?
just just like
the calendar's a pile of crap anyway.
Yes,
it is Tuesday,
yes,
we're office hours,
yes,
it's April,
but these are all just names that we've given to periods of time and so.
The mathematics around them isn't interesting to me.
Um,
merchant processors can,
can't meat and stuff not compost properly?
Well,
what you need if you want to do like meat
and stuff like that is what's called a methane digester.
Um,
and that can,
uh,
depending on like,
you know,
the type of waste,
it can basically turn,
um,
the waste into methane,
which you can use to power your stuff.
There's this YouTube channel that I'm trying to get to so I can link them,
but
um
they're like
startup aged uh people,
you know,
so just like fresh out of college or whatever,
but they
um
have
a channel where they just.
Yeah,
here we go,
I found it.
They,
they talk about,
you know,
making a homestead and making it self-sufficient,
and they give you guides,
tutorials and stuff like that,
uh,
all sorts of things,
um,
and,
uh,
what I'm.
I'm kind of following,
not
exactly their model,
but I'm following
their lifestyle as a,
as a sort of end goal.
Um,
there was another year another channel,
I won't be able to find that one,
but,
uh,
I understood it when
an owner of this particular land,
homestead,
etc.
said,
I'm gonna go make a cup of tea
and I'm gonna use entirely resources that are available to me on my,
my farm on my property.
So
he went into the garden and he picked tea leaves off a
tea bush that he personally owns that is growing in his garden,
and he brought them inside into his,
whatever it was,
and he
put the kettle on
with water that came from a well that is on his land.
And the kettle boiled that water using energy from the solar panels on his roof.
And so he made a cup of tea.
That was like,
I mean you can't say like carbon neutral because plants and stuff like that,
but like
he made a cup of tea
that was like
literally free and it was so freeing.
It was like I could do that.
Um,
Godtiricui is asking about my fun quick list.
Let me know if you want to take him at him from here.
Yeah,
that's just for the team.
Um,
Fruchs was uh unsure a while ago whether or not he could take something off me,
and so I just,
there's a sentence on the end of
each of those lists that lets him know what to do.
Uh,
and it'll scale
as we get more team members,
um.
I don't know what the future for that board is.
I'm keeping it around as,
as,
as long as it makes sense to,
but I would hope that we get to the point where we
can make a board that is like shows what everyone is doing.
And then like it would be
superfluous to have two.
Moving forward,
Marty says,
well,
specifically the style of Resonate UI,
not the implementation of the team come up with a name,
or is it just Resonate UI design language?
I,
it just resonates UI,
right?
Um,
design language is like,
hold on,
let me get you a design language website.
Beautiful.
Uh,
so this is apples.
Um,
and the reason I chose Apples because I,
I knew it would be the most
complicated and pompous ever.
Not that there's anything bad with that,
right,
um,
they,
they've earned it,
but the,
um,
the principle there is that like they have an entire
website dedicated to telling you how to make UI.
That sort of matches Apple's feel,
um,
and that's a design language.
What we have right now is just some design ideas that are coalescing together.
Yos says,
I just think it's neat.
I think it's referring to the like mathematics on the calendar and it's like,
yeah,
if you think that's neat,
like,
I could find mathematics wherever the hell I want.
It's like,
oh,
I farted twice before I started office hours today.
It's got to mean something.
With that,
we're at the end of questions.
So if you have any additional questions,
let me know.
I'm here,
I was just waiting for questions to come in.
Uh,
Marley says,
what's your favourite novel?
I don't,
like,
favourites are really difficult for me,
and they're,
they're really difficult for like people in general.
Um,
the more words you can add to your question,
the easier it is to answer.
Because you only ask favourite
in,
in some people,
particularly those with like neurodiverse brains,
like
it's a really difficult thing.
Um,
but if you add
like more words,
it becomes easier.
So it's like,
what's your favourite novel in genre that you've read in the past two years?
Much easier question.
Someone's asking about the,
um,
tech tree,
so let's go ahead and get that open.
All right,
tech tree,
let's see.
Oh hey,
we fixed that.
Uh,
alrighty,
so Techtree's open if anyone has any questions related to.
To various things,
let me know.
Uh,
I do have another one for,
um,
these two Ubers are working on,
um,
a system to
reset settings with a button,
see if there's any additional stuff.
No,
I think we could do right now.
What was I trying to do before all this business stuff appeared that I needed to do?
I don't know.
Whatever.
Let's get back to questions.
Um,
Vimple says,
have you updated the chart recently?
Well,
we just did.
Uh,
Gy Rikuni says,
why does the dashboard use a camera to render the UI?
It uses,
um,
it's basically like a,
if you imagine it's projection,
um,
some of the components are called projection,
but like if it's not literally projection.
Um,
a projection system that maps the camera's view onto a curved mesh.
So when you have curvature in the dash,
that's how that is rendered.
We can't do UIX curved,
so we use that camera rendering system to,
uh,
get.
Curved UI
for a really bizarre context that's kind of like really old now these days,
um,
the
components used to make the dash appear curved,
the whole rendering and camera thing that you're asking about,
were actually in place
in the old Neos World Hub,
if you remember that one,
the Space Station.
Um,
you could go,
I think it was like under one of the corridors,
like there was a,
you know,
like an air pocket in the sort of geometry of the map.
And in there was a camera
pointed at the,
um,
gee,
it wasn't even the first world.
I think it was like,
it wasn't the first world browser and it wasn't the world browser that you see today,
but it also wasn't the world browser that was in your dash at that time.
It was like an old old world,
it was like an old world browser,
um,
so that it could be curved.
Inside the,
um,
like space station bit,
uh,
Marty has updated the question with what's the
last science fiction novel you read and like?
See how much that's like,
that's arched.
Oh,
it's a good question.
Let me think.
What did I last reader decides,
what did I last read a book?
All right,
I'll give you an example then.
So,
um,
I think it's called Old Man's War.
I'll have to like look that up on Amazon and just double check cause
obviously I can spoil it for myself and I wouldn't want you to,
um.
Yeah,
that's correct.
So,
uh,
Old Man's War,
um,
it comes to mind for like a variety of reasons,
uh,
because it,
it represents a sort of,
uh,
interesting look at,
uh,
the future.
Uh,
there's spoilers there,
let's go back to the chart.
Um,
in Old Man's War,
uh,
the society works like this,
which is,
uh,
when you reach retirement age,
you have the option to join the military.
And everyone's like,
what?
Uh,
well,
the way it works is they will put your consciousness into a new body.
However,
that body is owned by the military and so you have to do military service for it.
Um,
so people who are like really,
really old,
like,
you know,
about to die age will always do it.
They're like,
I am
what,
90 and I can't walk,
and all I have to do is whatever military service term it is,
I don't remember.
All I have to do is this military service and I get a new body.
Hell yeah,
and,
and lots of people do it.
Uh,
one of the cool technologies,
actually there's multiple cool technologies in there,
is because they're new bodies,
they are,
um,
bioengineered bodies and they have green skin.
It's like,
oh,
why do they have green skin?
They made
a human body photosynthesize.
And so
these military soldiers,
like if they're tired or hungry,
they just lie in the sun.
It's crazy,
but I also liked some of the weapons that they had.
Um,
I am from the UK and that means like I have a different view on,
on like guns than an American,
and I now live in America,
and so like
my view on guns is very confusing and conflicted.
But
something that I find interesting
is if you apply like a futuristic argument to guns.
So what I said to some people I know who are
friends that I feel comfortable having this conversation with is,
OK,
you support,
you know,
owning guns,
etc.
What if there was a
100% effectiveness,
non-lethal deterrent
that could incapacitate someone without injury?
At that point,
would you need guns?
And some of them still said yes,
and some of them still said,
uh,
no,
or changed their opinion to no.
And I found that really interesting because like,
the reason police have guns is because it's the ultimate way to stop someone,
right?
If there is
no other choice,
you can shoot them and they'll stop.
But what if there was a 100%.
Effective scenario that would allow you to incapacitate someone
that
wasn't lethal.
Now,
most police forces do have less lethal stuff,
but it's usually not as effective.
Like you can look at body cam videos online,
but there's like
grown man takes 4 tasers and still runs away and it's just like uh uh.
Um,
and then even with like pepper spray,
um,
much like spicy food,
you can actually sort of
develop tolerances to it.
And so if you get repeatedly pepper sprayed or repeatedly arrested,
it's gonna do less effect,
so like those aren't effective.
I've seen good things about like beanbag guns and stuff like that,
but,
um,
those still do cool.
harm.
I'm also kind of interested,
although they're being used mostly in protests right now,
which isn't OK,
but like there are sonic weapons now.
Um,
the reason why they're using in protests is because
um
they cause like panic and then people scatter,
which is good for sort of disrupting riots and protests.
But like,
you know,
anyway,
that
particular book has a solution to that problem,
um,
and
has a gun which is a 3D printer,
which I also found cool.
Um,
so instead of loading ammo into this gun within this book,
you can just scoop matter.
Like literally there's like a hopper in the back of it
and you scoop matter in,
and then that matter gets decomposed,
3D printed into bullets in the chamber and then fired.
But the interesting part about that is because it's a 3D printer inside the the gun,
you can control the like.
Um,
specifications of the bullet are a lot better.
So let's say you needed a hollow point,
you would just select that on the gun and it would switch over to,
to printing a hollow point.
But
the soldiers during the book,
and this is a spoiler one of the,
the storylines,
but it's a minuscule one compared to the rest,
um,
they are against some aliens which have a shield on them.
And they figured out that the shield can withstand one bullet impact,
right?
It,
it's,
it needs,
after that it needs to recharge.
So if you shoot them once and then in quick succession you shoot them again,
you'll get through the shield,
the shot will land
and you'll have,
you'll have killed your target.
But that's two bullets.
And so a clever soldier
programmed their 3D printer gun
to print
like basically like a BB,
like a really tiny low calibre bullet.
And then behind it in the same chamber,
a full bullet.
And it meant that like he'd come up with this sort of like 1.5 bullet
scenario where like the,
the tiny bit at the front
would pierce the shield and it would go on recharge,
and then the bullet behind it,
literally coming at the same trajectory,
would go into the target.
And he
basically airdropped that bullet configuration to every soldier
on the battlefield who then instantly applied it
and they instantly got the upper hand against these like force field aliens.
And I'm just like,
this is like
all of what we're hearing here is like
future thoughts about.
Weapons,
future thoughts about
guns and safety and stuff like that,
but then you look at like our advancements into guns and it's just like,
hey,
we've just made them like
louder,
faster,
more accurate,
but we've kind of spent no time in just trying to make them not kill people,
and it bothers me.
Uh,
Quala says,
what's your least favourite,
most shredded,
still open bugs issue?
There are a lot of them,
um,
there,
and
like,
more than you would think,
and in some cases,
like,
it's like painful to work on them,
but you need to,
but you need to.
Um,
and so
there's actually far too many to mention.
Like something that
again,
I wish more people understood,
um,
or is that like
sometimes work just sucks and you just have to do it.
So like,
I know that this is gonna be really complicated.
I know that
uh
this one here,
IPV6 is is growing more complicated.
It's not all of them,
uh,
yeah,
yeah.
Uh,
it's being really complicated.
Uh,
these two
are gonna take probably like half a month,
and that's why they're not being done right now.
Um.
Yeah,
there's just like a bunch of annoying stuff.
Red out link support is also like problematic because it's sort of like
uh
uh Aegis is a uh referring to
uh microwave crowd control weapons.
I don't agree with those ones.
Um,
you,
you could probably like,
I haven't looked at,
I haven't looked at the statistics about which one causes more harm,
but to me there is like a,
a intuition.
That firing microwaves at someone to heat them up
is is probably a little bit more dangerous,
so I don't like that one.
Yeah,
it's,
it's kind of spooky.
There's also sort of um
you know,
what if a protester is pregnant or something,
you know,
like,
what if there are kids in the audience,
um.
Cos like it's a riot,
it's a protest,
and I do see
like younger and younger people being um at protests and at events.
And I like that,
right?
You should,
you should feel compelled to sort of
fight for what you believe in at any age.
um,
but if we're gonna like start microwaving crowds,
maybe we should uh
not do that to kids.
Have you guys heard about the boom that people here?
Um,
so,
um,
this guy.
I always remember this YouTuber based on the fact that like,
only a small part of one of his eyebrows has turned grey and it's like funny.
um,
that video is really good,
talks about this sort of like weird phenomenon.
um,
the people in mostly America are like
hearing this sound and they don't know where it's coming from,
and no one believes that they can hear it,
and it's causing them like deep psychological harm.
Um,
some people say it's like the oil pipeline pipes resonating,
some people of course say it's 5G or
underground cables,
etc.
Uh,
it's
kind of like,
uh.
There are also those who are like
uh electromagnetically sensitive.
Um,
there's a whole documentary about them.
I think it's called Afflicted and I think it's on Netflix.
Um,
but there is a town that is very close to a,
uh,
really powerful,
uh,
really well long established observatory,
um,
or like radio mast or something like I can't remember the exact details.
But anyway,
the point is
that town has a unique ordinance that prevents
certain electronics from being inside that town.
And people have been flocking there,
the electromagnetly like sensitive
because that town just has like so less radio waves,
so less 5G antennas,
and they're like,
I feel calm,
I feel
happy in in this place.
And I don't know like
what side of,
of everything that like is going on there is,
is actually affecting their happiness,
but I'm happy that they found somewhere they can feel comfortable at least.
Uh,
Vanport said if context menus were more modular,
customizable,
would you change how yours looked?
Uh,
no.
Um,
as a developer,
like stuff I make often breaks,
not because,
like,
it's bad or because it's,
you know,
we're breaking it by making updates to resonate.
It's usually like a time thing.
Um,
I don't have a lot of time to mess around with my personal avatar.
uh,
and so when I do,
it has to be like as quickly and as modular and as customizable as I can.
And I already find the,
the current context menu's great for that.
Um,
I,
I rant about this like multiple times,
but,
but like,
I'm gonna rant about it again.
If when you open your context menu,
it plays in global audio,
any form of sound at max volume,
I hate you.
Please stop.
Make it local only.
I don't need to hear your menu.
Uh,
Marty says was the demo universe thing,
so we have a
um.
You can have your boobs,
like you can have your boobs,
I just don't want to hear them and I don't need to hear them,
so make them local please.
Uh,
so the demo universe thing,
I'm,
I'm getting to a wiki page.
I'm also struggling to type because I've got a dog on my chest,
but so you can go here to find out more about universes.
They're basically
uh a good sort of.
Thing to think about them of is sort of like subreddits,
right?
So
if you go to the cars subreddit,
you won't find pictures of cats,
but if you go to the cats subreddit,
you will find pictures of cats.
Uh,
same thing with with universes,
but
session and content related.
Claudia Rauni says,
do you actually have governments using resonance in some capacity already,
um.
It's difficult to like
expand without like leaking who we're working with.
So like,
yes,
but also sort of.
We do have businesses,
um,
and one or two of them are really,
really,
really big.
Um,
we're talking like,
I don't think it'd be fair to say Microsoft level because that's really,
really big,
but like,
you know,
corporation big,
like
multiple hundreds of employees.
Not all of them are using.
Um,
resonate,
but
they intend to,
and that's where the money is,
right?
So,
um,
everything that we are doing for lots of these clients is to make
resinate
more stable,
more safe,
more secure,
more suitable
for these,
these,
these business environments.
Like for example,
where are we?
um.
Uh,
yeah,
reset settings for uh reset setting buttons.
That one is there because a large proportion of
the test user base at one of our organisations,
um,
just messed with settings and then didn't know what they did,
and,
uh,
there's no way to reset that back to like saying defaults,
so they got kind of stuck.
So that's why that one came up.
Uh,
Art asks,
are the April Fool's features gonna be removed from the code afterwards,
um.
Most of them will stay,
they will be turned off because we determine April Fools based on date time values.
There is a little bit of overlap,
I think,
over like 9 hours,
just due to time zones,
we want everyone to have fun today.
Um,
but after that,
they will turn off.
They will technically be in the code.
They may be removed next year,
April Fools,
or they may be expanded on next year,
April rawls.
It kind of depends on what's going on.
Historically,
we've like
removed some and left some.
So this year,
we removed the fruit badges,
but we left the crumple thing.
We actually had a couple of people that were Like,
it was before the April 1st update,
they were posting in the Discord and they were like,
when I leave a session or or change out of a session,
I crumple in a heap.
Like,
is this a bug?
And I'm just like,
uh,
no,
that's last year's April Fools.
So like,
that's still there
and still works,
but we did remove those,
those fruit badges.
So some might not survive the,
the year,
but,
but some might,
and,
and some might also be improved for next year.
Uh,
but we have no real reason to like
quickly
remove them from the codebase,
uh,
so they'll they'll be in there for a while.
Uh,
Marty says is the user lagging field gonna stay?
Yes,
absolutely,
100%.
I do want to get the wiki page open for that,
but like I keep forgetting to.
So like if someone wants to like take the initiative there,
or just like put,
put it on the wiki,
it's a really simple node and put like,
it's staying,
then that'll be great.
Um,
it's actually kind of
easier to see that it's saying,
particularly for those who are decompiers.
Yeah,
the decompiling Andy's out there.
Um,
if you look,
you'll see that none of that is lagging functionality has the
if engine is April Fool's mode,
so that's why it's staying.
But yeah,
if we had like a,
a wiki page for that node and we just put like,
hey,
this is staying,
uh,
it might help with that,
cos that's like the most common question we have right now.
What do you want,
fellow?
Do we have further questions,
guys?
All right,
as questions have dried up,
I think we'll leave off here.
I do need to take this little guy for a walk.
If you have
additional questions coming in right now,
the people that are typing,
go for it,
I will answer them,
but after that,
no more.
Uh,
BD says I just joined do these recorded.
They are,
but I keep forgetting to publish them
as punishment for me to forgetting to publish them,
I will like cut the recording.
But I will maintain on air with people staring at me until I publish them this time.
Uh,
Qua says,
Can I see old April Fool's stuff if I sit like that?
OK,
so if you,
if today,
today will be the easiest way to do it.
If today you use whatever Steam functionality you can find to download,
not last update,
cos we did have a patch for this April Fools,
but
if you download.
Let me see if I can just get you a version number.
See,
if you downloaded 2025328,
like anything,
actually 2025.3 anything,
um,
and
it's today or you set your system clock to April Fools' Day,
then you will see last year's April Fool's,
yes.
Uh,
some people,
particularly those who are in Australia and things like that,
they saw last year's April Fools,
uh,
ahead of time because of,
you know,
time zones.
Um,
and
they were like,
hey,
what's going on?
And then we did the update and it was like,
hey,
there's more.
Alright,
with that,
I'm gonna go ahead and,
and,
and leave off the recording here.
Feder is like
elbow deep in their butt hole right now in front of me,
it's gross.
So I'm gonna cut the recording.
