Aras PranckevičiusRemember when Unity blog used to have things related to the games technology? Good times, eh. Today, RSS feed of the blog served this 🤮
(Curiously, this can *not* be browsed through blog website; only in RSS. Why you do this, Unity?!)
Ross Karchner@aras maybe Unity is part of RSS club! daverupert.com/2018/01/w…
Welcome to RSS Club
Congratulations on joining a secret society! If you’re reading this, that means my message has been transmitted successfully. This post is only available to you, Reader, through the ancient peer-to-peer syndication medium of RSS. I hope you are enjoying reading it in your Web 2.0 era feed reader.
Richard Fine@aras The blog is effectively dead. Technical content goes into Discussions now: https://discussions.unity.com/c/technical-articles/23
@superpig putting "how to effectively target mums during back to school period" RSS topics aside, this Discourse thing is confusing as heck, I can't get used to it. I'd expect topics to be sorted by date or something, not "uhh... some order?". But probably just shows I'm old :)
@aras Yeah, it takes some getting used to. I think it ordinarily _does_ sort by last post date, but the topics you're seeing there are all pinned, which might be interfering with things. (FWIW, you can unpin them by clicking the pushpin icon).

Sebastian Schöner@superpig @aras ...I can unpin posts, for everyone..? UNLIMITED POWER! Or maybe I'm also too old for this, I just assumed discourse was some sort of forum with bad UI. But sounds like that's the wrong mental model: in a forum, just mods would be able to pin and unpin posts. Sounds like fun to give that power to everyone though!
@sschoener @superpig I think your pinning edits are like prefab overrides; they are just for you. Or, I hope they are!
Ryan C@aras @sschoener @superpig pin edits are local. The forum software Unity and many others have switched to is called Discourse. It's pretty bad, poor scaling, bug ridden, push directly to prod type forum software.
Josh Simmons@aras whenever I think about how messed up the PC gaming landscape can be, I think back to my time in mobile and it doesn't seem so bad anymore. How to target mums during the back to school period to maximize profit. What a joy.
