I never understood why people called enemy bots ‘AI’ in games.

Best I can do is tie your pension to it.

I believe it was this one link

There is a bigger one, with more networking terms, but I can’t find it right now :|

I have no idea what kind of software this even is, so possibly could be better to use Facebook for all I care.

You can build community everywhere, and I have no idea why are people acting like Discord is the best place for it.

What? What specifically are you responding to?

None of this made any sense in this context. Are you replying to the correct post?

First of all, public forums are a thing, they work flawlessly and provide information to people without needing to sign in, which is my top issue with Discord. And why I actually want FOSS.

Among other things, some I already mentioned, Discord isn’t even all that big, you can say Facebook has 3 bil users, let’s all go there.

But the meme is about people who can’t escape, avoiding Discord is not only possible, but specifically for support advisable, and I would argue that it’s not even that hard.

I personally have used Discord about three times before I just selfhosted Jitsi. Never understood why people want to use it so much. For chat I use Matrix since 2018.

Then don’t brag about being 100% FOSS supporter…

Also 150M people may use it, 8 billion people can’t index it or do an advanced search, so fuck them.

The entire internet is built on open-source technologies, as you probably know. That doesn’t make the internet as a whole an open-source thing. Transport technologies are open, a lot of hardware and software around it is not, and that’s still talking about the infrastructure, not what is actually running on top of all that.

It’s like saying Windows is open-source because they use curl. And Microsoft is as open to open-source code as long as they can train their LLM on it and sell it to you. Sure they provide money and developers to some projects, but Windows, Office, Azure will most likely never be actually open to code investigations, forget free.

while yes, there are many BETTER alternatives already disponible

OS X refers to those parts of the distribution which aren’t open-source

From your own quote

My own mother told me shit like this. Also “they” will turn off the electricity, internet, water,… omg

Wasn’t the immunity against covid relatively short-lived? I remember something about even getting covid not building long-term resistance, so that would mean that even the vaccine did reverse its effect at some point.

What I absolutely despise, and my own friend brought up in an online conversation, was the abortion embryos.

He claimed abortion clinics everywhere were a conspiracy to harvest matter for the vaccines, all government controlled.

After nagging him a lot, he provided a link from which he wanted to prove his claim.

Surprise surprise, the journalistic piece only said there were cells used to develop the vaccine, mostly for testing, from a single embryo from like 1970s.

We are both from Europe btw.

Using a population of hundreds of millions billions

Billions of people were vaccinated. Hardly anything happened.

5.3 was a big leap for PHP. It became actually very good at that point.

I learned it when it was on 4 and boy oh boy was that something.

But nowadays, with 8, it works great, tooling is fantastic. I just kinda wish the documentation, which is absolutely top notch for 90% of the language, was this good for the rest 10%.

I want to play around with Fibers, but I just don’t get the info I want to.

pthreads were so out of date in docs it was shameful.

But the language is good, typing is coming along nicely, and basically the only thing I want PHP to do is to call Postgres and encode the output to json. Works like a charm.

At last we were able to create the Torment Nexus…

You have to take into account that a big company game is going to by much harder to implement than just a small hobby team game simply because of all the people involved.

What can 5 people do in a year may take more for 500 people, just because of the management overhead. And if that management sucks, it will end up doing way more things it was required to do, yet the original request will not be done well.

No u

I am all for rehabilitative care and what not.

But psycho- and sociopaths should be behind bars. I’m not even sure if they can be helped.

Alright, let me rephrase that.

Stop putting power-hungry people into positions of power. Put there people who care about others, and don’t want the power. Works for government too.
