  • I accidentally became a FOSS maintainer and all I got was this lousy new perspective on librarianship

    Jump

  • This made me chuckle because of some of the truth in it:

    What universities actually do, however, is publish papers nobody reads in journals nobody can afford, in order to make their numbers go up in ranking systems nobody understands, so they can attract research funding and student enrollments so they can pay people to publish more academic papers.

    Yes and some number of those students leave the university with new ideas and connections. Maybe some of their papers were an exercise to focus their expertise? Not saying universities are the only place that one can find new ideas and connections with the world either.

  • If pointing out their non-action is being sprinkled on top of their pile of historical non-action is any kind of punishment, I have to wonder how you think they have been treating us who have given them money time and time again and had to figure out how to make their games work without their support!

  • The fuck would they care about any opinions here. They are only looking at the money they see Valve is making and want to get in on that. Their success is dependent only on what THEY actually DO. Lets see them invest some money for the developers who actually know what they are doing as Valve has done. I don't see that happening yet.

  • Sure would be nice to convert a lane of each side of those 4 lane freeways to a railway? Seems like there is already lots of transportation allocated land right along major commute ways.

  • Hytale can now be pre-ordered

    Jump

  • Likewise, the game has lots of depth and mostly satisfying mechanics. Combat is a bit wonky but the creative tools (sub-voxel chiseling and combining block materials) within the game are where it shines. The game structure is built on modding as the main game content and scripts are themselves mods!

  • Interesting that Alyssa links to intel's Xe HPG whitesheet. The hardware could use all the help it can get given the mediocre support intel provided to Linux users with the Alchemist GPU. Not sure it things are any better with Battlemage but I'm glad if Alyssa is targeting Xe HPG regardless.

  • I remember the "old days". That was when dialup internet was still popular and running a server usually meant it was on your 10Mb LAN. When we got DSL it was better and you could serve outside your LAN. This was also the time when games had dark red code booklets, required having a physical CD inserted or weirdly formatted floppies (sometimes a combination of these). You could get around these things and many groups of people worked hard at providing these workarounds. Today, many of these games are only playable and only still exist because of the thankless work these groups did. As it was and as it is has not changed. Many groups of people are still keeping games playable despite the "war" that corporations wage on them (and by proxy on us). Ironically, now that there is such a thing as "classic games" and people are nostalgic for what brought them joy in the past, business has leapt at this as a marketing opportunity. What makes that ironic? These business are re-selling the versions of games with the circumvention patches that the community made to make their games playable so long ago. The patches that publishers had such a big problem with and sought to eradicate. This is because the original code no longer exists and the un-patched games will not run at all on modern hardware and the copy-protections will not tolerate a virtual machine. Nothing has changed.

    We can even go back as far as when people first started making books or maps that had deliberate errors so that they could track when their work was redistributed. Do the people referencing these books or maps benefit from these errors?

    Why do some of us feel compelled to limit knowledge even at the cost of corrupting that knowledge for those we intend it for (and for those long after who wish to learn from historical knowledge)?

  • Trump appears to have lost a total grasp on things

    Jump

  • I agree with the sentiment but the order of words in the title and text appear a bit weird to me. For instance, "totally lost grasp..." and "can't even seem to..." make more sense to me than how it was posted.

  • California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it

    Jump

  • You can purchase the game in a web browser and use steamcmd, which (one could argue is still requiring an app) to download and install. In cases where the publisher is not invoking DRM (Larian games like BG3, DoS2, etc. for instance) once the game is downloaded you can certainly archive it and transfer it to another machine and run it there without Steam. In the end you are likely purchasing proprietary software (though again it's not always the case on Steam) and we could say you don't really own that either, so maybe take your complaints to the publishers or just use the power of your wallet and not buy those games and support libre games, of which there are many, another way. That said, Valve is actively making things better for users by developing and contributing to useful libre software like Proton (WINE, DXVK, etc) that can work outside of Steam.
