We should just syphon all the water out of the ocean, put it in a giant still and use a massive rocket to move it near the sun.

Now we have unlimited steam energy and way more land to build things on. Winning!

Well, maybe bring more to the table then I guess, if that’s what the men in your life only think about around you.

I’d probably take the motorcycle at least and see if I can convert it to run on wood gas.

Matrix sucks, that’s why most people won’t use it. I’m already giving my software away for free and providing free support for it, why would I want to take up even more of my free time running and maintaining a Matrix server as well?

Sure, I could use an already available Matrix server but I already have a Discord account, all my friends and contributors do as well and the entire thing is easy to set up and use, plus I’m already running the Discord client too.

On top of this, the argument about searchability is irrelevant. Projects have been giving support via IRC forever which has all the same problems. The best thing to do for any non-trivial support inquiries is to direct the user to lodge a support ticket and always has been.

Matrix just isn’t a compelling option, even if it had feature parity with Discord and was easier to use, it doesn’t have any real inertia anyway.

How long until this trickles down into the major distros?

On paper they don’t make anything a year and pay less tax than you or I. The only way that’s going to change is a massive world-wide effort to crack down on tax havens and to start taxing their assets fully.

Taxing profits is a good idea but they’ll figure out some creative accounting to avoid making them.

I think we just need to straight up take ownership of a portion their shares that increases based on how little tax they are paying.

It’s happenend with the AUR too.

Snaps however have a certain expectation that newer/inexperienced users should be able to trust them.

Hey company, here is a process that will heavily reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions, but you’ll make slightly less money.

Company: Nah, fuck that.

I finally stopped using it entirely when they started paywalling the answers. I don’t know if you had to actually pay or just sign up to view them but whatever it was went too far for me. Nothing of real value was honesty lost from my existence either.

I really don’t think balls cam is desired though.

Once I got a serious response to that from a manager saying that he could go on eBay, buy his own servers and do it himself. My response was to quit.

I get it now thanks to you but I still think it’s stupid.

Microtransactions aside, if you’re trying to protect your kids from creeps online you’re gonna have to ban every platform that supports interactions with strangers. This includes several other games you’ve mentioned in the comments including Minecraft.

Personally, instead of banning it I just play it with my kids on a regular basis. There’s plenty of actually decent games on Roblox and it enables game ideas that otherwise wouldn’t see the light of day. My favourite is the Ikea survival game.

Onus is on them to actually release a good game, not on the potential customer to have any faith especially with their track record. Turning NMS into a decent game was the least they could have done.

Maybe but turning it into a good game was the least they could have done in the end for people who gave them money. That would apply to TDB devs too going forward.

Reminder that their standards are apparently 30 FPS.

It’s a good game though, but needed more time in the oven.

It’s a good game that was pushed out far too early by suits. There’s a lot of room for basic optimization to be done for one and it should never have been released without it.
