I remember the very strange control scheme it had on PS4 I think it was? You couldn’t bind your abilities to any button, just specific combinations like Square+Left, but not Square+Right, something like that. I wonder if they’ve changed that in the newer ones.

I only just found out about it and wanted to share since I havent heard any dicussion around this style of game. It looks fun, but I havent had a chance to sink much time into it.

I can’t seem to find it, but I think it was James Gosling, where he was blocked from reviewing code at Google because he hadn’t gone through the company’s approval process. I hope this wasn’t a myth I’ve been carrying on for this long.

Is a cis-gendered woman who had a hysterectomy, not a woman?

Is anyone who doesn’t have bottom surgery a woman? Is a man who takes testosterone pills for erectile dysfunction, a woman?

A post-menopausal grandmother is not a woman? A flat chested woman, is not a woman? A woman born without a uterus is not a woman?

Please define what a woman is, without excluding any cis-gendered women.

Regex is Turing Complete after all.

Oh so its just referring to writing the mod’s code in the same file the mod is declared in being bad form? That seems very reasonable; since the point of a module is code separation so it makes sense to always put it in its own file. Good, I’m already doing that at least!

I don’t understand how to follow this bullet point that I was replying to.

do not use mod unless it’s test for the current module. No I don’t want to Star Wars scroll your 1000 line file. Split it.

I already know what mod does in a basic sense, I wanted to know what the commenter meant by this.

I don’t know enough Rust to understand by what you mean by the last one. My understanding was that mod name was just declaring the module that this file depends on. Could you explain what I should do instead? Since your other statements I totally agree with, I should probably agree with the last one.

The Venn diagram of game developers, who are also interested in/good at running a business has very little overlap. You need many different kinds of people to run a business, but a game developers is only one of those. In some rare cases it works out though.

I guess burden was probably the wrong term. I appreciate your work, and I just get over protective of really cool freely available services from being overwhelmed. That’s an excellent suggestion.

I’m using Automatic1111’s SD web UI, so their API would be the most relevant to me, but there are others out there if you prefer to use something else an an optional backend.

Can I use my locally hosted SD API rather than burden the Horde with something like this?

That’s sorta the curse of an open protocol is that anyone, even your enemies, can use them. I am no fan of Meta. I am a big fan of open standards, monkey’s paw and all. It is not a case of tolerating the intolerant. To restrict Meta out of using ActivityPub is against the spirit of open standards. The protocol is no longer open, and THEN we really have something to worry about.

Don’t worry I’ve been quoted EEE enough times. I really don’t think that is the direction this will go down. If Meta actually embraces it, then the whole of the fediverse grows over all. Then, if Meta does extend the ActivityPib protocol in a way the that becomes incompatible with the rest of the ecosystem, we just let them go and do their own thing. ActivityPub already has a userbase, if they join us, and then later on cause problems then everything just goes back to how it is right now. The final E can’t realistically happen because the existing ecosystem will just carry on exactly as it is now. If people on Threads want to communicate with us, then they need to speak the same protocol. If they don’t, then they don’t get to participate.

Do you genuinely believe that the whole community of the fediverse would just lie down and accept breaking changes to the protocol without resistance? There are too many talented and passionate people invested in this ecosystem, the absolute worst case scenario is the protocol itself gets forked, and again the exist communities just carry on. There is no extinguish time line. Everyone points to how Meta handled XMPP, please compare the user bases of ActivityPub vs XMPP. The world has changed a lot since then. Another example I’d like to point out is Hashicorp’s Terraform. They explicitly tried to EEE, and the moment they attempted the final E, it was instantly forked, and the open licensed fork was adopted into the Linux Foundation and the ecosystem carried on.

Take that what you will, but I am reasonably convinced ActivityPub has enough support and community that any EEE attempt will inevitably fail. The front ends will change, the hosters will come and go, the open standard is here to stay.

What do you mean by Mastodon selling out to Meta? Isn’t Meta just building an ActivityPub based platform so we can talk to their users as far as I know. If they want to talk to us, then the onus is on Meta to stay compatible. If they aren’t, then we just continue on as we have.

100% agree. Universal Basic Income feels inevitable as a solution. Better and better technology puts machines in place of human labor, with no guarantee that other jobs will come into existence to replace the ones lost. Is it not the ideal goal to have machines do all labor, leaving humans to do what they actually want without fear of homelessness and starvation.

It just kinda sucks right now because these systems don’t exist to support this changing landscape.

Which is exactly the same as how there were no new jobs for horses created. Employment is not a right. You have to either adapt with the changing times, or become unemployed. I agree that it sucks.
