Barony is fun as hell. Engine is FOSS, but the default game assets require purchase.

You’ve laid out one potential development cycle: FOSS from the get-go, and open collaboration welcome.

However, that’s not the only way that a FOSS game might be developed. The code could be freely licensed, but the upstream developers refuse to accept outside patches. In that case, there’s one “original” and then if you don’t like it, build your fork.

Alternatively, a game could be developed entirely in-house under proprietary licenses, and then only made FOSS upon commercial release. Contributor patches could improve the project, but conception of the game would be entirely the domain of its original developers.

Ahh, sorry. Our prior emails accidentally got sent to a family of 4 on their way to a birthday party. We promise our next job offer won’t miss!

Everyone’s gotta start somewhere. I do know that it’s not easy for trans men to get a well-fitting suit. I’m familiar with one case where the tailor sent the suit back without any alterations, because they thought the body proportions given by the shop were a mistake. That was rather infuriating to see, but it worked out in the end. I guess what I’m saying is that you should give yourself plenty of time in advance to get your next suit. It may not be the “come back in a week for pickup” that most men are used to.

Hell, I know a cis guy who had to visit 8 different places to find a suit that fit him. He’s a normal looking guy, but the proportions between his hips and waist was somehow an outlier for 99% of the pants he tried on.

Reminds me of an early Uni project where we had to operate on data in an array of 5 elements, but because “I didn’t teach it to everyone yet” we couldn’t use loops. It was going to be a tedious amount of copy-paste.

I think I got around it by making a function called “not_loop” that applied a functor argument to each element of the array in serial. Professor forgot to ban that.

He’d rather have a GNU contributor take a diarrhea dump on his pull request.

…and of course Duck Game never got released on GoG

Fuck this greedy bullshit

Neither shrooming, nor dismissing. It just reminded me of that school of thought. I don’t know any anarchist theory, so I assume it’s evolved since the days of the Paris commune.

So we’re back to “If we all ignore the government, it will wither away” type anarchism?

Caps lock is great for rebinding to Ctrl

I’ve seen some shops put aside the extra shot if they know another customer has ordered one and they can serve it before it sits around too long. Otherwise, you can dose the portafilter with less coffee for a single.

It’s common in communities where rigid adherence to a set of beliefs is necessary to enforce cohesion. It’s commonly used to avoid engagement with “Facts U Dislike” (haha) by terminating all meaningful discussion.

Part of a flat earth forum and you’re posting an experiment you performed that suggests the earth is round? You’re spreading FUD that should be ignored.

Posting on a crypto shitcoins discord about how this kinda looks like a scam and maybe it’s not a good investment? That’s also FUD. You’re just mad that everyone else is going to be rich.

Does the user running qbittorrent have write access to the downloads directory? Any special messages in the logs?

You might also want to try running qbittorrent through docker. I use https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn. Just make sure that you set the PUID and PGUID to match a user id + group id that has r/w access to your downloads directory.

I don’t know about useless.

I’m much happier now that my work laptop slows down when I compile something during a zoom meeting, vs when it used to run out of memory and crash.

Happened at my workplace. An phishing email went out to test how likely people were to click the link.

Anyone who clicked the link had to take phishing training. Anyone who forwarded it to our internal “hey this is a phishing email” service also had to take training… because the internal service would automatically click the link.

Try the VueTorrent web UI. I use it on both mobile and desktop

I bet you can buy indulgences to be root

I use friends and family as sample data for unit/integration tests.

At a previous job, I tested an automated email system by scheduling fake events for various US presidents. I’ve long left that position, but I never cleaned up the test data. Every month I still get a reminder for Nixon’s upcoming reservation at the Watergate Hotel.

You don’t have to trust banks to not shortsell the housing market with your own money (causing a recession for the entire world)

The way I read this, it suggests that banks shorting the housing market with my deposits caused a global recession.

You’re right about the ratings agencies (as far as I know, also from The Big Short), I was skipping over that for brevity.

Unrelated to the overall point you’re trying to make, but shorts didn’t cause the '08 recession. They just profited from it. The cause was banks treating mortgage backed securities as if they were an unsinkable asset class.

Relating things back to your point though, I’m not convinced that blockchains solve this. Take the crypto crash of spring/summer '22: You have a few products (TerraUSD/Luna, CEL token) “generating” yield that everyone (DEFI, CEFI, retail, institutions) piles on top of. Then that base layer of “value” turns out to be a naked emperor and there’s a massive crash when everything based on that system is now backed by nothing. Rigid computerized rules are only as solid as the axioms that underpin them. You can decentralize the interpretation of rules, but somebody can always start with a flawed assumption and then it doesn’t matter how reliable your decentralized system is.

As long as any asset can be rehypothecated into another, shinier asset, there’s always a risk that the underlying asset is shit. It’s no less true in crypto as in conventional banking.
