I’m a game dev, so I’ll have to at least keep around either a Windows VM or a dual boot system, since Windows is still very popular.

1. Go to the Minecraft servers of OpenAI and similar corporations.
2. Find a room called “AI server room”, all while avoiding of defeating the mobs protecting the area.
3. Destroy everything there.
4. Go to the offices.
5. Destroy everything there.

As the fediverse becomes more and more of a feasible alternative to corporate social media, it will be inevitable that trolls and spammers will use our platform for malicious things. All we can do is to get better at moderation, maybe somehow bust these farms.

Yay, a “good” guy with a company will stop a bad guy with a company!

All hail Jack!

There’s still hope, we just need to actively sabotage these SEO hubs. The easiest and safest one would be an SEO site flagger plugin that would hide links to sites predominately featuring SEO garbage.

I was searching for a scripting language to embed into an application, then I got popular programming language comparisons, most of which hailed the functional programming paradigm, which is very bad for games.

I’m from the generation that used to have sound cards, and I’m very sad about what Creative did to the industry…

Modern precision screwdrivers look different, and they’re easier to use. Unless you buy the cheapest ones on some shoddy markets that still sell them for some weird reason.

My first encounters with it were very rough to say the least. Developers getting used to the jankiness of the graphical user interface (if they had one), was commonplace, and often I was pulling my hair when I was forced to use older versions of Blender and similar productivity software, and any suggestions for UI improvements were met with massive resistance from the developers, due to wanting to avoid “spoonfeeding”, and “not introducing users to write their own shell scripts, thus making them lazy and never discovering its feature of automating complex tasks”.

However, this changed when I started to get into drawing and downloaded Krita. It showed me that open source software doesn’t have to be an absolute nighmare to use, and not hiding handy but less-commonly used features behind a barely documented CLI. Even Blender became more usable in my experience than many more expensive 3D rendering software.

Also Wake Up, Girls! had an anime project the same name, which I can recommend if you liked the more realistic depictions of the industry in Oshi no Ko (it does not have a murder mystery, nor a reincarnation or a teen pregnancy plot).

Not really, a big driving factor behind making devices irreparable is to uphold the illusion of infinite growth.

That only works sometimes. Many receivers are only PS/2 compatible, especially older ones.

Twitter nowadays is like an unclean toilet that barely flushes.

Very concerning word use from you.

The issue art faces isn’t that there’s not enough throughput, but rather there’s not enough time, both to make them and enjoy them.

Yes, but the Fediverse is only one part of the equation, and has its own pitfalls.

Free and open source software could overtake the proprietary software market in theory, but in practice it often fails since many FOSS projects are made for developers by other developers, most of who tend to be power users. And the average user needs ease of use, and easily accessible common functions, not a lightweight command-line interface with scripting.

Even then, things like games and other stuff might only will be partially FOSS, like engines and frameworks, the rest being behind a paywall. However, I think people should experiment with what I call “open source universes”, which is basically creating shared universes that are open source. Maybe even make some open source RPG system with it too, so we could have an open source alternative to the likes of D&D, WH40k, etc. At one point I tried to make something like this, but the issue was that it was based on an old webcomic idea of mine, which I started working on when I had totally different views on many things. Might revisit it with different ideas later on.

Open source hardware will be a really hard uphill battle, with a large issue coming from closed-source drivers (Thanks ARM and nVidia!), cost and difficulty of manufacturing silicon, etc.

Does the same behavior appear with DuckDuckGo, or other alternatives?

If you have a desktop, buy a second drive. You might even can use your Windows installation for apps with no (good) Linux alternatives.

Because they were far more useful to the average person, than the glorified spam making machine. Also it’s not like something like this happened for the first time…

EDIT: forgot to grammar

Well, I ended up having a headache anyways…

Well, that’s a very different and way more concerning thing…
