All projects showcased need to be openly licensed

What if we don’t have a license picked yet?

You can run them off SD cards. There’s a hit to loading speeds, but it’s not that mucn

The Voyager mission launched in 1977. If I recall correctly, it takes roughly 80 years for the planets to realign for that purpose. If I didn’t misremember, we’re about halfway through waiting.

I use CoMaps and it (mostly) works. My biggest gripe is that it tries to force you onto freeways and highways whenever possible, even when backroads are both faster and more fuel efficient, so if I use it for a route I know 90% of, I end up having to fight it

Unfortunately, I don’t think the artist was aware of Skálmöld, Iceland’s unofficial national metal band, when they originally drew this comic like 12 years ago

Do look them up, some of their music is really good. I particularly like their album Baldur, as it’s a continuous story about viking mythology and filled with beautiful pieces like Heima. They’ve also played alongside the Iceland Symphony Orchestra

The copyright extensions in the 20th century are theft of the commons. Those corporations are taking from public domain and not paying back. They’re thieves, and why should we care if large scale thieves become victims of theft?

Bring copyright back to the original 17 years plus a 17 year extension (max 34) in the US. Then we’ll talk.

They basically invented gambling for chlidren

The gambling sites aren’t owned by Valve

they actually are the one that have anticompetitive practice

Citation desperately needed, and not just the one internal email from 10 years ago that reads like a misunderstanding.

they take a huge cut of 30%

30% is standard across the industry, including itch.io and GOG. And given that EGS just laid off 1000 employees, it’s looking like 12% isn’t a sustainable business model.

Don’t forget that EGS has been using anti-consumer policies like paid exclusives from the start. Meanwhile Steam, GOG, and itch.io don’t force exclusivity, allowing an open ecosystem. Tim Swiney isn’t against monopolies, he’s just mad that he doesn’t habe one.

And let’s not forget that Steam has been investing in open source and Linux gaming for years. PC gaming are getting close to a point where making walled off gardens becomes impossible.

Do I think billionaires should exist? No. But when there’s one that’s actively building systems to keep digital ecosystems open permanently, I’m willing to make an exception.

But you’re clearly just some gullible jackass that fell for Tim Swiney’s propaganda hook line and sinker. You speak of cognitive dissonance despite being fully immersed in it yourself. Go touch grass; you desperately need it.

Removed by mod

You can build your own router fyi

And you can even mix-and-match cells of both types in a vehicle to better fit a target demographic. It’s not simply one or the other.

That being said, it’s better to have a car with a 200 mile range sodium battery and a small range extender for that 2-4 times per year trip

There wasn’t really a reason to boycott it anyway.

Yes there was. It’s called “fuck those monopolistic cunts at EGS, they don’t get my money”

Fuck off with your false equivalence bullshit.

EGS has used anticompetitive and anti consumer practices from day one, all because Tim Swiney is a petty asshole that wants to be at the top of the pile.

Meanwhile Valve has generally been pro-consumer and built a relatively good service

GrapheneOS is looking like a really good prospect nowadays

You know what this is called? A healthy and competitive market.

Yeah, I get there’s layoffs, but that’s mainly at AAA studios and is a symptom of a previously unhealthy, highly consolidated market. The job losses suck, but now diversity and competition is coming back, and that’s generally a good thing for consumers.

Huh. Just found out that Bandcamp isn’t owned by Epic Games anymore. It was sold off to someone else back in 2023. Guess I don’t have a reason to boycott it now

Theoretically, both could be done. Theoretically.

Not forever

I’d rather we get rid of oil subsidies first

Except nickel is fairly rare, driving up the costs. Sodium isn’t

Because guns are bad, mmmkay?
