No I think the OP is confused. tt-rss forums was a largely horrible community which prided itself on being edgy and toxic. FreshRSS never had anything to do with them, except for also being an rss reader. It is (or at least was? Not sure nowadays) instead loosely connected to the framasoft people, who are cool and doing nice things for the open source community, and not at all toxic.

Fascinating read, I should definitely also make way more use of sqlite for little side projects.
Thanks for the link!

The extension is DeArrow from the same developer making our lives better with SponsorBlock.

While a full ‘deletion’ of such an issue is certainly unfortunate, I can kind of see how it gets to such a decision point.

You’re creating some software in the open, decide to ping some communities on reddit/lemmy and all of a sudden it seems like a disgruntled brigade is breaking down your door while you just wanted to show them the garden.

What for us looks like earnest sleuthing can feel like abuse/harassment from the other side simply due to the asymmetrical nature of the internet.

Would have probably still preferred a closed issue instead, but having a couple ‘niche-successful’ repos on github myself - I can at least certainly empathise.

I mean there are better tools, such as TMSU or tagfs, which i think are actually better approaches to having (part of) your file system displayed in a non-hierarchical way - or rather in a dynamic hierarchy.

But the other poster is also right in that for your system file system, i.e. root and operating-system critical paths, do not benefit from such an approach. I think asking for such a thing kind of sounds like an XY problem and requires listing the actual problems to solve with an alternative approach first.

It is absolutely less physically violent, I was never discussing violence in the broadest sense of the term, but physical violence.

Which is interesting and perhaps you should review why you are selectively focusing on this - it is the reason people are saying you are victim-blaming, after all.

You selectively pick the physical violence the victim employed as a reaction to the sexual violence she experienced. You consciously choose to ignore the sexual violence having been done to her, and in fact spell this out very clearly in your response here.

In other words, you choose to ignore the violence the perpetrator originally employed, and only want to ‘discuss’ (i.e. delegitimise) the responsive violence employed by the victim as her last method of harm reduction. That is the classical rhetorical device used to victim-blame, and if you still actually can’t see it I’d suggest reading up on that and investigating your own ethics.

I see the misunderstanding, didn’t consciously see the ‘used’ hardware in your post above. That makes a lot more sense!

When you say ‘society did not force her’, what exactly do you mean by this?

Can you spell out the scenario that you concocted in your head as to how a girl, harshly bullied by having faked nude material of her passed around school without her consent, in front of her, should correctly behave in this situation? Keeping in mind, of course, that she already went to the socially acceptable and correct official channels which did nothing to help her?

That setup would currently run for around $1730? Without investing into a monitor, or any peripherals like keyboard, mouse, etc and picking a relatively cheap psu/case/cooler combo.

Maybe I misunderstood but seems a far cry from €850.

Additionally, while technically imbued with ‘meaning’, even the number 420 itself is somewhat meaningless and was originally used to delineate those who knew from those who don’t. It’s just that it got famous enough that we now almost all know.

In that sense I would argue it filled more or less the same function as 67.

I was going to say, I think the perpetuation of leetspeak and most of its use falls squarely into the millennial generation’s early 90s into the early 2000s.

It might get a little simpler to host and busier to play again in the not too distant future if the announced free fanmade re-release works out!

I think Isaac is a great game but it’s also right around the time when one of my greatest gaming pet peeves began - merging the concept of a roguelite and a roguelike to call them all the latter.

Roguelite was such a linguistic stroke of genius as it both differentiated them from the classic genre - turnbased top-down movement, no-knowledge procedural levels, permadeath, craft fight plunder core loop - while still being self-describing as something which keeps some of those elements though being more light to digest.

…and then we just discarded the term and chose to call them all roguelike with, for me, no discernible advantage.

As far as I know that’s generally what is often done, but it’s a surprisingly hard problem to solve ‘completely’ for two reasons:

1. The more obvious one - how do you define quality? When you’re working with the amount of data LLMs require as input and need to be checked for on output you’re going to have to automate these quality checks, and in one way or another it comes back around to some system having to define and judge against this score.

   There’s many different benchmarks out there nowadays, but it’s still virtually impossible to just have ‘a’ quality score for such a complex task.

2. Perhaps the less obvious one - you generally don’t want to ‘overfit’ your model to whatever quality scoring system you set up. If you get too close to it, your model typically won’t be generally useful anymore, rather just always outputting things which exactly satisfy the scoring principle, nothing else.

   If it reaches a theoretical perfect score, it would just end up being a replication of the quality score itself.

I can’t believe you’ve mastered German in just 3 months

Luanti and Minecraft are two distinct, if similar-looking things.

Luanti is an open-source voxel game engine implementation which allows running a wide variety of different ‘games’ on it (including two which mimic Minecraft very closely, like the above-mentioned Mineclonia).

Minecraft is the closed-source game owned by Mojang.

The two don’t interact and servers for the one are completely unrelated to the other as well.

So, to answer the question - yes, they still need a Minecraft license if they want to play Minecraft. But this is disconnected from having a Luanti server, for which you don’t need any licenses but which will in turn also only allow you to play Luanti stuff, not Minecraft.

It’s good but it’s also been bought out by, at least to me, an ‘unknown’ early this year. Since then, there’s been a couple outages though nothing too drastic. New owner also promised to only make changes that are ‘thoughtful and focused on making your experience better’ but I am still cautiously eyeing other options since then - I’ve learned never to trust those words by new owners.

Yeah I think that’s a more reasonable assumption. Presumably the new page template comes with the steam info pre-filled and has to be confirmed manually before someone then can correct the entry.
Still love that they even have this info nicely organized at all!

That’s so cool! UT2k3 and 2k4 were absolute staples of our childhood LAN parties. Would be so nice to have a ‘modern’ Linux-supporting version.

Perhaps we could even organize a community event or two for the fediverse crowd? Surely there’s enough cranky old people here willing to feel 16 again for a few hours :)

Don’t read this as a general defence of steam but I do want to correct a factual mistake: there is no forced DRM on steam.

Plenty of games are released on steam which do not rely on the steam client to be started and are in fact DRM-free. They can be backed up, and played on any machine without steam installed.

Some examples are Cyberpunk2077, the System Shock remake, Shadow tactics, and most of the devolver digital catalogue. The issue I personally have is that steam itself does not declare the difference anywhere in the store front, but at least it is always accurately catalogued on the lovely pcgamingwiki.
