I wouldn’t recommend pre-ordering any game. Way too many companies release buggy shit day 1. I say at least wait one day to see some first impressions before trusting any game.

That’s not even necessary. She hasn’t voted in over half of the votes of 2023

The brain drain from non-Western nations is tragically real. Intelligent people will see more rewards in capitalist nations and relocate there to help themselves and their families. If capitalism didn’t produce such big inequality people would have less incentive to move there. Ideally we’d have intelligent people spread through the world and throughout many industries, but some jobs are rewarded better than others

Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?

Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric

I was thinking population, and therefore users of the OS. I feel like a lot of western companies are already bending over to tap into the Chinese markets, so if they had to support Linux to do that for software, maybe they would.

That would be beautiful! Hopefully puts some pressure on the rest of the world to hop on the Linux train

Yes! Having the worlds largest country run on Linux would do wonders for its adoption. If all the western business partners just stopped accepting windows files and started distributing Linux packages, it would accelerate adoption elsewhere.

And draw the line there? Or what about instances that federate with instances federated with meta? I think defederating meta is more than enough

Only two layers of sanitizers? Gosh might as well just put your social security number out there

I went to Vail recently, and I had to take a shuttle from Denver. I was shocked when I got up there and there was all sorts of tracks from old mining operations. Why wouldn’t they repurpose those for new trains? The tracks are already there that’s half the battle

They mention wanting a new networking stack, I didn’t see a comment section there; but I’d recommend tailscale (or headscale for self hosting). It’s a wire guard based mesh network, but has worked very well for me

You have an off by one bug, the format of the commands says “0-9/0-9/0-9” but your columns and rows are labelled 1-9, you either need to zero index your board or 1 index the commands you give.

I feel like most regulatory bodies in the US have a massive lack of knowledge of modern industry practices. Or are willing complicit in the anti-consumer practices

I’m perhaps exaggerating, but yeah cars have some use cases. They are just aggressively overprescribed as the tool for everything rather than only as needed

If they’re calling it a physical copy it should be a physical copy of the game data. Having a case to hold a code is a ridiculous slap in the face. And a waste of plastic

Cars: bad for the planet, bad for physical health, bad for mental health, bad for urban planning. What are they useful for again?

I could see Facebook making instances as a service for sure. And hosting their own instances they could scrape data from others (which will get them defederated quick, hopefully). But just having a nice clean signup system from a company people know would go a long way to getting people to join the fediverse, and hopefully people would eventually leave

I had zero hope this would get blocked. Still not totally sure but the FTC is definitely putting up a solid fight. I’d prefer the consoles be fighting to prove they are the better hardware and software experience, not that they can buy the most studios

I’d also recommend Ice Cubes on iOS, visually pleasing and pretty functional. And elk you can install as a half app thing where you click install from the url bar

Free software is foundational to our society today. We should be much more aggressively protecting and encouraging it
