They’re not aiming to sell software. That does not mean they don’t have a product or service to sell.

FOSS is kind of an interesting case, because it sometimes operates with donations or grants just to improve development times and outcomes.
Anyway, the sentiment is still something to consider, even in the world of FOSS. It’s less likely, mostly because people do it as hobby or communal projects, but that kind of trust can be abused. However, the original sentiment was intended more for endeavors where it costs money to maintain and operate a service, not anticapitalist software projects.
I don’t hate it, I just got bored. I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn’t for me (also, the weight limits are ass for free players). I played the Metro series before Fallout, and I think it kinda set the bar too high.
I’m not surprised people still play, though. It’s pretty fun, and people are generally nice. There’s lots to do, and the quests are decent.
I would want to see some data on costs, because I think you might be overselling the difficulty and cost a bit (I don’t actually know, just my good faith belief). Imagine if every content creator ran their own instance. Instead of needing to worry about every user coming to a single group of servers, the Creator only needs to worry about the cost of hosting their own content and the traffic they get.
With the number of YouTubers who have to get sponsorships and Patreon anyway, it doesn’t really seem that infeasible or unreasonable to expect content creators to run their own thing or pay to have someone else to do it. Doesn’t seem like the YouTube money is that lucrative, anymore, so not like it would be all that different, either.
Yet. It’s still very new, and as enshittification increases, so will federated development.
“If a product is free that should otherwise cost money, you are the product.”
Maybe one day, when you least expect it!
I’m borrowing that.
I like Delugia for any monospace needs. It’s a nerdfont, and it’s nicely readable without looking too chunky.
The novelty is the fact that it’s ongoing. They haven’t mitigated the hack. The threat actors are still inside the networks, which is why the government is telling people to switch to E2EE apps.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you wrote, but that’s not how sanctions work. It’s the people within their own country who are hurt by their country’s sanctions, not sanctions from other countries. This leads to domestic companies buying less exports, which is supposed to lead to more domestic production (or hurt the other country’s economy), but regular people aren’t typically buying exports direct from the producers. That’s not a problem Bitcoin can solve, unless import companies start using it or regular people start importing themselves.
However, it’s still the wealthy who most benefit from crypto. It’s the wealthy who make the barrier to entry higher, and it’s the wealthy who can very easily manipulate the value of this value-less currency (just look what they can do with the stock market, and that’s regulated).
It’s not that I’m against the plight of the downtrodden, I just don’t see how crypto actually helps them; like I said, it’s another “American Dream,” a promise of wealth that will never materialize for most, because the wealthy have rigged the system.
Ours tried full RTO, and then they compromised with hybrid WFH when they lost many skilled people who had been there for 10+ years to remote positions at other companies. Sometimes with little to no warning.
Some execs gotta learn the hard way.
When I worked at the state University, we had lists to check that stuff. Sometimes it’s obvious, other times, not so much. Good catch!
When I tried it a year or two ago, no. But the Deck wasn’t as popular, so who knows now?
I’ve also read that you can maybe update the firmware with fwupd
over a wired connection, but I haven’t been able to verify.
My brief time using it, it’s how you set up profiles (for sharing a controller or using specific layouts for different games), it’s how you tell the controller what buttons the back paddles map to, and it’s how you update the firmware.
It’s not really necessary, in my experience, unless you want to use the back paddles. Steam Input just sees the controller as a standard xinput device, so the back paddles are otherwise ignored.
This is the reason. Every public school, like University of Chicago, has non-resident pricing that’s typically two to four times higher than in-state resident tuition. Source: used to work at a state university.
The original idea was probably to encourage people to stay within their state and boost the state economy, but greed from the admins kinda changed the nature of things.
Huzzah! Congrats
Nope, this one:
It should be compatible with everything.
Yeah, and it’s not that I think Fallout is bad, it’s just…I think it feels too cartoonish? Like, people are supposed to be struggling, but despite the post-apocalyptic setting, each faction has their own little kingdom and seems to be doing alright. Medicine and stim packs abound, and nobody is really living on the knife’s edge.
And while that’s at least partly by design (supposed to be satirical sometimes), it doesn’t feel completely satirical, like Saints Row, or completely serious, like the Metro series. It’s caught somewhere in the middle, and I think that’s what doesn’t appeal to me; I want it to be silly or not silly, and it rides that line in a way I don’t like.
