Better start the backup now?

Since we’re all here, any chance we can make a small push in the direction of having a standardized “style”/“theme” file that we can plug into the different systems?
@BaardFigur My dude, I understand and celebrate the memes, but please understand that linux first time using is a sensitve period in people’s lives and the reach of modern social media means there is some x% of users who will have a bad time, because they saw that meme and took it seriously.
It’s a statistical guarantee.
@wgs I really hope you’re trolling. Don’t do that.
Yes, this is expected and means the regular safeties are working. Don’t turn those off please.
Generally, don’t just copy paste things you find online.
Something else to be aware of and stay away from is “rm -rf /” which will delete everything on your computer, including your operating system. Naturally this will crash the computer and you will not be able to start it again.
(You should be able to boot from a usb stick though.)
@HKayn This may sound cold hearted and I swear I’m not:
There is no obligation for the world in general to pay someone for open source software. (right now)
Everyone should think long hard about writing software and donating time and effort because of this.
I don’t like this state of things, I would prefer some kind of “general usefulness” tax financed grant thing.

Moves like this are a bit… strange? It was on github. There are 1.8k forks, with intact LGPL. What is happening here? Is their dev work worth 99$/year ? Not saying people don’t deserve to get paid for their work. I’m just not seeing the business case for this.
141·10 months ago@bl4kers @floofloof I think it’s interesting that it’s just a 30 something dude.
The things he’s found aren’t super detective stuff either, he’s taken an interest, found a few pictures that look suspicious, looked some more and wrote about it. Something anyone can do.
I find that motivating.

static content is free on github pages and very convenient to edit and update.

The characters are difficulty levels, some with additional rules.
It’s a rythm rpg, lore character #1 can miss beats, collect stuff, etc.
Lore character #3 can’t miss a beat or miss and can’t upgrade health, so you always die in one hit.
When I beat the 4 chapters with that character I was done :D
@Lunar Zero.
Against the Storm is amazing.
Phantom Brigade fulfilled my high expectations.
Mechabellum was a cool take on auto battling
Nebulous Fleet Command is cool, but not finished and maybe just not my cup of tea, but definitely very much knows what it wants to be and is very good at that.
And the rest are well known good games not released this year.
A single server MMO like eve online, but with real stakes.
In eve, when you die, you keep your character, most of your assets are safe, either by meta gaming or game mechanics.
You can’t *really* harm/steal from characters.
Which reduces the need to work together and defend your character and your assets. Risk aversion and occasional replacement is a valid strategy.
There is more stuff wrong with eve… but the biggest problem is the stakes.

Imo theoretical #RTS development just stopped after StarCraft and total annihilation.
Sup com is my favorite but nobody really tried to reimagine what “RTS” should mean.
Not like COD -> Doom(2016) did for fps.
So both perspectives are valid and deal with unsolved problems that are unfortunately just hard and not profitable to solve.

Makes it a non issue.
It’s free as in freedom not as in free beer and that’s that.
Jitsi doesn’t have to offer free service and they particularly don’t have to provide anonymity.
The same is true for the fediverse, since the admins have info that could help identify users. That has it’s uses too.
Agreeing with @mister_monster here.
COVID was an information clusterfuck. Nobody knew anything, how it spread, what it does, which measures where effective.
I remember reading about it in December, January '19 and there was no way to know whether it was a real threat or no issue like birdflu.
Even if official info had been correct and timely, which it wasn’t, there was still enough misinformation around that you can’t blame people for picking up the wrong things.
Trust me, I get it and I agree, #capitalism sucks. Mostly.
But that’s not how it works.
You can’t just take an arbitrary event and claim it came to be despite the circumstances, not because of them.
Like, that’s not how causality works.
Besides, It’s a way stronger argument to point at the overwhelming amount of bad games and bad features and say those got produced under capitalism and that’s why it’s bad full stop.
thank you for your mod work!
@emeraldheart I’m not frustrated, because it’s not a dilemma to me.
Blizzard’s glory days are long gone, WOTC does whatever, I had my fun, and J.K. Rowling is a more complex topic. But assuming she’s “bad” I’m fine with that too.
The games industry is only bleak if you omit the #indiedev scene. there are *so many* cool, new games.
E.g. In the last 12 months I have had a blast with Against the Storm, Phantom Brigade and Mechabellum.
