I think all developers should release their games code as open source (GPL) and only keep the assets commercial. That lets everyone else learn and remix but doesn't hurt sales.
It's a fixed long term lease from the state that often comes with a right to renew, not rent you pay to a landlord every month. They can't just decide to take it back and kick you out (unless the government is corrupt,…
I'm on 3 high school and 5 college servers. It's not just for games. Most companies won't use it for work because they have a pretty bad security record and no enterprise features, but it's perfect for any small to mid…
For me all these things are good except the last one (if you mean partner games in the bottom left corner, I hope they're not A/B testing Google Ads in the app). My profile is more low key but I don't hate others for…
It's not justified and it can never be. Keeping information secret is only justified if releasing it would put a person in serious danger or compromise a police/military operation. And even then it must be balanced…
Chinese regulations ban models that would criticize their government on any sensitive political question. The easiest way to comply with it is refuse to speak on the covered topics at all, so they don't get tricked into…
Companies can have expectations about productivity, coming to work on time, not acting rude to customers, that kind of thing. This is firing people based on how much they use AI tools the company is paying for, or even…
Better than flooding upstream with it. ReactOS is focused more on getting the basics right and reverse engineering obscure APIs, they deserve all the credit for that. But their kernel is NT 5.2 so it can't even support…
The difference is you can get the same model from different providers so they compete on price and features (ZDR, security, fast inference). It's less like Netflix and more like Apple Music.
AI focused investments and patent trolling.
Stratis is the only accepted blocker, it's a no go because it makes encrypted installs completely unbootable. I guess Brotli is already patched through a freeze exception.
> Game theorists are always asking why people vote, because the likelihood that you are going to be what we call a pivotal voter—a voter that changes the election—is basically zero. Yet still people are participating.…

Consumer boycotts never work. The only way to fix this is regulation and/or Claude assisted hacking.
I love Steam but this is just backwards. If it was about recouping fixed costs the threshold would be 10k not 10M with the rate dropping down to 15 or 20% after that. Game revenues follow a power law type distribution…
The core open source version is called Community Edition like IntelliJ. That tells you something when most projects use the unqualified name and then have Enterprise or Cloud as paid services. They take contributions…
Reclaimer looks great. It's like ReSkate for Halo, looks a bit newer and less polished but still great. I think I saw a video about this mod from a gaming creator on Youtube. I just don't get why it's closed source, if…
I don't trust any closed source code from an Israeli, Russian or Chinese company. And I'm starting to have serious doubts about America too. There's just too much influence from secret services, government interests and…
It's also not falsifiable at all. Basically the same thing as saying God sets the result of each individual quantum experiment to whatever he wants. There's nothing wrong with believing in one of these things but…
A house is not a person. It doesn't have privacy rights. And there's a big difference in the other interests that have to be balanced against privacy. The only thing you lose by blurring faces or license plates is the…
Why not? In the default locked state it's just as secure as before, and unlocking it would require both physical access and your Apple ID.
AI labs controlling all the compute is not realistic. You don't need a frontier video model to remove ads in a movie. Take any open multimodal LLM, set it up with a scriptable video editor, uncensored Qwen-Image then…
Because no one can agree on what that graphics system should look like. WebGPU is too low level for most users so it needs a framework on top, and that would mean changing the way code distribution works (from bundling…
