Everybody gangsta with the “don’t be evil” clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.

I doubt (or at least hope) that that’s not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.

STOP doing manifest destiny

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast

Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it’s called a PENINSULA

God: I will fix everything

Also God: I can’t/ haven’t fixed evil because then there’d be no free will

I would absolutely classify it as “core gameplay” given that it’s the primary ranged weapon of both the playable character and most of the NPCs, past the crossbow. Saying “oh just ignore the stuff you don’t like” is pretty dismissive of critique.

And don’t get me wrong - mons with base building is a good idea, which is why I played it. But IMO palworld doesn’t do much with it but put the two concepts together.

Really buggy at launch (not sure if it still is). “Pokemon with guns” is the least creative direction to take the concept. Devs reportedly don’t know how to use any sort of SCM, a basic development tool

The “standalone version with the best mods” you made I assume

Re blue sky, is anyone actually federating with it? I don’t know of any other instances besides the official one.

Part of the issue is that in most cases, viewing art requires benefitting the artist, either directly by purchasing it or indirectly by making it more popular. JK Rowling is the most prominent example. That said, it’s a spectrum.

A lot of complaints I’ve seen is that it’s bloated - it’s not only a system manager but also has a DNS relay, network manager, container manager, and so on.

That said, codifying service startup and managing them with cgroups is IMO MUCH better than init scripts that think running killall apache is a good way to stop a service.

Copy Kitty: https://store.steampowered.com/app/349250/Copy_Kitty/ has a demo

Fun elimination platformer. If you wish Kirby did more with the power mixing from Kirby 64, you’ll probably like it.

FWIW It was recently on the steam front page for me

Anything with enough access to block malicious programs has enough access to block any other program by mistake.

Security modules like this usually get very invasive with the OS, to be able to monitor everything and so that malicious programs don’t have the ability to shut it off.

Low competition industries

Like most of them?

Damn why does all the software I want to use end up being developed by bigoted assholes. First nix now this.

“Can’t media format X run arbitrary code” is almost never an issue with the format itself and virtually always a bug with a particular decoder/player.

FWIW the cyber truck is a luxury option - if you can choose a cyber truck, you can a bunch of other, more reasonable options. That’s not true of cheap food and many other things.

My interpretation is that companies will spend a lot of effort analyzing human behavior, to find underlying motivations and trends, but won’t apply that analysis to themselves as a business and ultimately just pursue the line going up no matter the consequences.
