You mean making the exact same cookie-cutter game loop for more than a decade isn’t a good idea!?

Does any real human actually write their “s” from bottom to top?
Because it all boils down to Trump’s ego.
Saying it made him look like an utter fool. So his enablers will do whatever they have to do to prove that he was “correct”.
It’s honestly frightening.
Every single one of us, as kids, learned the concept of “garbage in, garbage out”; most likely in terms of diet and food intake.
And yet every AI cultist makes the shocked pikachu face when they figure out that trying to improve your LLM by feeding it on data generated by literally the inferior LLM you’re trying to improve, is an exercise in diminishing returns and generational degradation in quality.
Why has the world gotten both “more intelligent” and yet fundamentally more stupid at the same time? Serious question.
Can’t do it. Gotta poop at home. Thankfully I’m in a small community where getting home and back again is quick enough to not be missed.
I think I read somewhere, but I’d have to go track it down, that the ISS was catching up on a whole lot of back-logged experiments with their unexpected addition to the team.
People are (rightfully) raking Starliner and Boeing for the shitshow that has been this project so far. But the positive to take from this flight, even landing without the crew, is the fact that the capsule itself performed fine. It was the service module that was being screwy. The actual “capsule” part in “capsule” seems to have had it’s issues ironed out. Just fix the shitty service module.
I thought it was a Canadian company that then contracted out right-wing American personalities.
I remember thinking when I heard it that it’s probably the smartest thing Russia could have done; sneak in the back door by using the Canadians as a go-between.
Why would you assume the Engineers are “made”.
Seems to me they’d just be another humanoid species that evolved from a puddle of amino acids on some homeworld somewhere, just like we did.
Please don’t lump us all together.
The full saying is “Free as in Speech, not Free as in Beer”
Basically the “Free” in free means that it’s free to do with as you please, modify, etc… But not free as in “here’s a free product…like getting a free beer”
I’m not really talking about development as simply programming. There are a lot of aspects that go into development, yes…programming is a big aspect.
But there’s also bug reporting (every user should know how to report bugs because it’s contributes to making the program better).
Heck, you can even download the documentation and give it a proof-read if you’re good with grammar and spot some errors if you don’t want to commit to helping to write it.
I know a lot of people who spend a lot of time in the various subs for the software, taking care to answer questions from other users who need help doing this or that. That again, is contributing.
Then there’s simply what we’re doing right now. Bringing attention to the projects online getting them more visibility.
Development of a successful FOSS app isn’t just about programming. And even small contributions count. If you can donate some coin, great! If you can’t, or don’t want to, there are a thousand other things that you can do to contribute to that apps community.
I emphasized the word community because that is exactly what it is. The ethos of Open Source; what makes it different than Propietary software, is that the users are an inherent part of the development process in ways both big and small. In propietary software, there is a distinct line between the developers and the users. Developers have multiple stakeholders of which the user base is certainly one, but also include advertisers, software makers, hardware makers, etc…
FOSS software, in contrast, is much more a communitee effort with the involvement of the community in the way of bug reports, literature, education and even simply championing the project because they don’t have millions of dollars in advertising budgets.
Sorry, I get a little passionate, so this is longer than I intended it to be.
But tl;dr, contributing isn’t just about money or just about programming. There’s a thousand ways big and small, and my issue isn’t with people not “paying” necessarily. But people who use it for free and don’t bother filing bug reports, don’t join the community online to help answer user questions, etc…
A good FOSS citizen should be an active part of the community. Or donate money to the project if they’d rather not.
This software is extensively free (as in beer)
No…it’s not. It’s free to download and to use, but the expectation that people contribute in exchange for using it is how FOSS has always worked.
That doesn’t necessarily mean monetary. But contributing can be helping with user guides, or making youtube tutorials, or even just extending the reach of the program to friends and family by talking about it.
There are many ways to contribute, and money is one. But the notion that Open Source software is “free as in beer” has never been correct. Users have an expectation to contribute…period.
Unfortunately, there has always been the issue that a not-insignificant percentage of users of FOSS software believe the FREE part means “free as in beer” and take umbrage when asked to contribute.
I’ve long been a proponent (and I know I’m in a minority) that has advocated for a shift in the marketing of FOSS applications from “donation based” to “value based”. Meaning that the expectation is that if you enjoy the software, you pay an amount that you believe is commensurate to your use. This is voluntarily of course…if you can’t pay, than please use it and enjoy it. But those who can pay, should pay…at least a little bit, to offset the costs for those who can’t.
It’s more or less that the wording of FOSS apps needs to change so that you are expected to contribute if you can.
Just my opinion. Like I said, I know I’m in the minority. Just not a fan of the percentage of users that has always existed that (falsely) think that asking for money for your project is somehow anathema to the Open Source ideal and whine whenever they’re asked to contribute.
I’m willing to bet he’s stupid enough to think “Red White and Blue” will be so impressive to his idiot followers.
I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around. Heritage Foundation will be picking FOR him.
Trump is just a useful idiot that they can manipulate because he wants the power to stay out of prison. They put whoever they want in place, they’ll drop a binder of things for him to sign on his desk on day one, and in return, they’ll help him steal the election so he can make all his legal troubles go away.
That’s why he has no idea on actual issues or policy. Because he doesn’t care. It’s useless information to him since other people are in charge of that while he gets to pretend he’s important.
I loved the original. But there is no doubt that both the movie and the original graphic novel were thematically “of the 90s”.
Goth, dark lighting, tortured hero, etc…
Basically a Marilyn Manson video.
The remake bombed for the same reason a 1950s beach movie would bomb. It doesn’t fit in the current world of pop culture.
God how badly do I want to see a remaster/remake. So under rated. With a bit more fleshing out (It’s a pretty short, pretty linear experience) it could easily compete with the mechanics in Homeworld.
I just watched a long deep-dive going through the police interrogation with her. And ironically its one of the few times I’ve come out of it with respect for the cops in situations like this.
They picked up right away that she had researched stand-your-ground and used it to plan the murder and weren’t letting her get away with it.
Good video. Long. But worth it.
I’m honesty sitting here trying to remember the last Ubisoft game I actually enjoyed. And I mean truly “couldn’t put down” enjoyed. Some of the older Assassin’s Creed games were fun, but the same endless gameplay loop was meh, even then.
I’d almost have to go back all the way to those original Rainbow Six games for something that felt (to me) fresh and innovative.
