Something interesting I’d like to point out, the videogame Mindustry is open source and copyleft (I think either GPL or AGPL). You can get a build off GitHub or FlatHub completely for free. However there is a Steam version with Steam multiplayer and achievements as well which is $9.99 USD on Steam, estimated ownership is around 846.7k [1], the price hasn’t always been $9.99, but assuming that isn’t the case the game has made around $8 million, I haven’t taken out Valve’s cut and I don’t know how much tax they’re paying but that’s pretty good. It could be a lot higher if all of the FlatHub and GitHub users paid for their copy. I initially discovered the game on FlatHub, loved it and now have it on Steam. I wouldn’t have bought the game if I hadn’t tried it for free.

It feels counterintuitive that freeloaders can help with sales, but consider a physical artwork like a painting. People don’t tend to buy these things without seeing them first, and seeing it is experiencing, so there’s very little benefit to buying it, but people do anyway to support the artist, because they want more.

Gave up on office a couple of years ago when I discovered bastet:

For people who enjoy swearing at their computer, Bastet (short for Bastard Tetris) is an attractive alternative to Microsoft Word.

I hear the eclipse is armed with acorns as well

Yes certainly some nasty reports out there. Even the reviews that show up in GNOME software are a bit nasty

You still are not reading what I said correctly. The problem is they said in the bug report that it is “High Priority”. That’s a bit pushy. It’s up to the maintainers to work out what’s “High Priority”. You completely missed the point.

It’s not that they made a big report. It’s that they, a multi-billion dollar company, had the nerve to mark it as “High Priority” and request that a volunteer fix it for them so their proprietary commercial product would work. It’s that they do nothing for the project but expect the world from it. That’s the problem.

I’ve got nothing against bug reports, infact I’ve made some myself, they help development. Demanding they are fixed is a different thing entirely.

Sorry if my previous comment sounded like an insult.

I’m not really sure what you’re saying here. Microsoft have every right to fix the bug themselves and the maintainer has every right not to. Open source software doesn’t come with a warranty in most licensed.

Exactly the problem with a lot of these gun nuts - they can’t use their brains because they don’t have one.

I fear games like Fortnite being introduced to very young children might conflate “weapons of war” and “toys”

Never really liked his channel but wasn’t aware of this video until now. What a fuckwit. Has no idea what communism is but keeps saying it when he really means authoritarianism. Says that a gun is “great for children”, I’m hoping he meant for children to use…

I don’t understand why I need to buy a gun to deal with downstream problems where there is an upstream solution. The reasons he gave for owning any gun are really societal issues. Instead of encouraging everyone to have a private army, why not encourage people to vote for politicians who will fix the upstream problems

Do you like the two party system? Do you like the electoral college? Do you like the lack of accountability your politicians face? I’m assuming you must assuming you’re a gun owner who hasn’t tried to liberate the US

How are you supposed to go an get your gun from the locked cabinet where I assume you keep it to prevent a psycho from stealing it and using it against you? Unless you keep it attached to you at all times risking a misfire or your attacker grabbing it and using it against you. What if you accidentally kill someone who was infact innocent when you think you’re doing the right thing but you misjudged a situation? How do I know that you can be trusted with a firearm? What distinguishes you from a school shooter just by looking at you? If the US is so free why don’t you fight back against the corrupt two-party system?

I actually found it alot easier once I had learnt C. That way I know where all of the problems are and can use the high-level stuff to get around them, while still fundamentally understanding what is going on

Not as a gaming device but for the novelty of doing something on a device that wasn’t designed to do said something and the attached learning experience 1000%

This router in particular had a socketed wifi card - like in laptops which is pci-e, they used an adapter to connect a graphics card to this (a Radeon HD thing (old)). If you can’t watch the video the creator did an article on it as well which I’ve linked in the post body

15 fps is actually really impressive

Most of them do, I think the main achievement is getting the eGPU set up

Funny you should say that because they just dropped Android Subsystem for Windows

Yeah take me back to the early 20th century, that was when you could get some good warring in
