These MeshInstance3D are all the same size and at the same level... Understandably, there's an amount of flickering going on when they overlap.

Question for the Godot folks, is there way to tell the Engine how to prioritize the drawing of meshes in order to eliminate this flickering?

Why not just do this on #KDE 7 instead? Just name 6.8 to 7 and you’re done! #seriousquestion

#AskFedi #SeriousQuestion #PreguntaSeria Please do not use "AI" to answer this, or answer facetiously:

Is there anything that Spain or its people need from USA? Would USA halting trade affect the average Spaniard?

Hay algo que España o los españoles necesiten de los USA? Si los USA detienen el comercio los españoles promedio se afectarían en algo?

#SeriousQuestion Has Sony accomplished its goals with either the PSVR2 or the PSPortal?

Mind you, I am not asking if you love or hate either. What I would like to know is more along the lines of... What has Sony gained from either of those peripherals.

Are they just tax write-offs? Have they garnered a cult-like following? Or are they just a footnote of Sony's market dominance?

Have you worked with SSIS/Integration Services? Do you have experience migrating SSIS jobs to a different ETL platform?

What is the modern alternative to SSIS that doesn't rely on cloud services? (yes, that includes Azure/AWS/GCloud/etc)

(I wish this disclaimer wasn't necessary, but) Please, I would like to know actionable answers from people with experience. I need wisdom, not criticism or jokes. If you have never worked with SSIS you really do not need to answer.

What is the communists/socialists/leftists programming language of choice?

How do I find listicles online (ie, "top android apps of 2024" or "best weather apps for android") without getting ancient tech articles from 2015 with an updated title?

Just thinking out loud...

It's damned hard to find anything useful that isn't part of some company's stuff these days.

(ref., https://hackers.town/@drwho/113472165096859225)

Stuff that the tighty righties don't like online is in their sights when Reagan v2.0 takes office in January.

What's the chance that they could find any of that stuff they said they wanted to get shut down? The big search engines already don't pay attention to them.

Who's going to find it? Are they going to rely on narcs?

I believe in accommodations for people with different needs/abilities/disabilities ... but in the case of a photo taken not for journalistic or explanatory purposes but for artistic purposes ... does it make sense for a blind person to read the description?

I'd love to know the opinion of actual blind people...

Somewhat #SeriousQuestion, what is the best villain that is clearly non-humanoid. From movies, videogames, books, etc...

By villain, I mean that it actively wants to harm humans and not merely reacting (like Jaws) or trying to protect it's environment (like Tremors?). It is "evil".

By non-humanoid I mean it has a non bipedal shape. Chucky doesnt count. Zombies don't either.

Cthulu? Some Evangelion Angels? The tripods from War of the Worlds?

Are there any others?
