Daeraxa,

A bit of gratuitous self promotion but just to let people know if you liked Atom and are still using it or maybe you migrated to a new editor and still miss Atom, it was forked as Pulsar which is entirely community-led and is seeing a lot of active development to bring it up to date. We also have a lemmy community at !pulsaredit

But that does nothing unless they tell us they’re doing that.

If I just see the service getting slow, I’m not going to “Oh this is because of my adblocker, better turn it off to go fast” I’m going to think “Fuck YT is turning to shit, it cant even load a page. I’ll go watch Twitch or something”

This is why opensource developers get burnt out. If you don't like it, fork it. Stop shoehorning what you want on other people's project, especially for petty things like this.

Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. (mfkl.github.io)

Everyone can agree on VLC being the best video player, right? Game developers can agree on it too, since it is a great utility for playing multimedia in games, and/or have a video player included. However, disaster struck; Unity has now banned VLC from the Unity Store, seemingly due to it being under the LGPL license which is a...

So you’re suggesting him to:

Drop out of his job (which you may not know).

Stop earning an amount of money that, may or may not be utterly necessary to keep his lifestyle (which you may not know).

Spend months or years learning a new technology, meanwhile unemployed or with a job that may or may not sustain his previous expenses (expenses which you may not know).

Re-make every single project that he owns to a new platform while adapting every single thing to a new environment, meanwhile solving a waterfall of bugs and refactoring problems, ultimately consuming hundreds of hours (bugs which you may not know).

After living miserably for a while, hunt for companies that somehow are using an open source tool that, most of the time, won’t tick all the boxes a company needs from a tool (companies and boxes which you don’t know).

Miraculously find such company and, miraculously rise to a position high enough that you can make a decision which changes the whole core of the development team, impacts licensing for other tools, new hires, compatibilities, and god knows what more down the line (changes which you may not know).

You’re suggesting that he goes down years of an even more uncertain path… just because you feel like It? To me It sounds like an Evil person’s plan. How can you be so assertive saying something which you may not know about? Jesus

esc27,

You are lucky. Last night both Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates broke in my house and held me at gunpoint until I made my choice. (Tim Cook would have been there too, but apparently he was guided down the wrong street.)

Hyperreality,

Sounds like it's time for that Sartre quote again:

“Never believe that [they] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. [They] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.”

I had been on Reddit for 10+ years and never went near the ‘popular’ subs and I always had a great experience. I also didn’t go around trying to pick fights and also just ignored anything I didn’t like, so I was able to avoid almost all negative interactions.

Edit to add: I completely agree with you, if it wasn’t clear lol

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

Maze War: “Am I a joke to you?” (1973)

But Wolf3D was the “3D - FPS” which changed the world, and gaming introducing FPS. Carmack glimpsed Ultima in action at a 1990 expo, and saw a new style of game, influencing him in both Wolf3D and then Doom.

Also, ID’s first 3D game, which was not FPS, was Hovertank 3D!!

So all the arguments here revolve around if you are talking “3D” or “FPS”. 3D has been around since the 70’s, however as far as FPS is concerned WOLF 3D takes the title for that.

It sucks that the community for technology here hates tech more than loves it.

Drbreen,

Should be more than what it is now. Boring as shit!

fiat_lux,

He bought it because he couldn't stop being an arrogant edgelord keyboard shit-talker, and he accidentally made himself personally legally liable doing so. The Twitter board called his bluff, seeing the most amazing opportunity to rid themselves of an expensive and slowly dying company, and Musk had already pissed off the SEC (or one of the other financial government services) enough that he was at risk of having his finances in other companies audited.

So he was forced to buy it because he's an impulsive troll. Everything else since then is pretty incidental, and unsurprisingly dripping with hypocrisy like this.

it wouldn’t be crazy for the 8.8 million 23andMe customers who once absently checked a box saying yeah, sure, use my data for whatever, to feel like they’ve been bait-and-switched now that their genes are laying the groundwork for potential cancer cures.

Yes, it would be crazy. And stupid. As a 23andMe customer this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I expected them to do with the information.

This isn’t… COMPLICATED.

Honestly that's a pretty strange thing to say about one of history's most complicated and oldest conflicts. If it was as simple as random dudes online think it is, don't you think this issue would have been somehow resolved by now?

Both the Israelis and the Palestinians have tribal roots in the region dating back thousands of years.

The region also has religions significance to all three of the big western religions.

And to make it even more complicated, the region has been under the control of multiple empires over the last 3000 years: waring tribes, Egyptians, Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines, the second Muslim caliphate, the Ottomans, the British, and I'm sure I'm skipping more. Israel and Palestine as nations where effectively created at around the same time post WW1 (see the Mandate for Palestine and the Balfour Declaration).

So sure.. It's possible that you're so much smarter than everyone else that one of the world's oldest conflicts is trivial to you, OR, just maybe it's a little bit more complicated than you and some other people let on...

Yeah, a better strap-line would have been, "We don’t fully understand human consciousness, so how will we know if AI becomes conscious?"

baduhai,

Don’t downvote this person, they’re just asking a question.
