@Pawlicker You can rent entire laptops from System76.

@beardalaxy On a semi-related note. I did create a rough-draft for the site's ToS. It's mostly to prevent spam, legal issues, and abuse. Is there anything that should be changed? I think @graf should also have a say in it because it will be hosted on his server.

Privacy Policy hasn't been written only because I have no idea what kind of logging graf has on his network and servers.

Minimum age is 16 instead of 13 because recently, there has been a proposed revision to COPPA that raises the minimum age from 13 to 16. It hasn't been passed yet. You could allow underaged users, but from what I understand, you need to have some way to let their parents/guardians know and have a more clear privacy policy, which is why most sites don't allow children to sign up.

Makes sense.

@beardalaxy @graf I am now proud to say that tag-filtering has now been implemented.

Why is it that almost nobody is talking about the dystopian Global Pandemic Treaty?

@lanodan @pixel @SuperDicq Does promoting someone else's product/service because you actually like it count as an ad, by your definition?

@Zergling_man @beardalaxy They literally gimped two of their consoles (the N64 and GameCube) because of their concerns about piracy.

@Rocket I'm sticking to MySQL for this project. I got the tagging thing down. Though, I'd probably go with Apache's CouchDB if I do anything else that requires a NoSQL database.

@beardalaxy
I was thinking of a name that sounded neutral as possible. We are anti-censorship for the most part, but you said that you don't want the place to be solely associated with loli games and TND/"ETHNOGLOBE NOW" simulators, especially when Poast is helping with hosting the service.

>i personally don't see why indie games have to correlate with being commercialized tho.

I don't know. I guess it's because there have a been a lot of hobbyist developed games before the rise of commercial indie games and that a huge chunk of these hobbyist games are nowhere near professional quality.

I love it when Poast, DRC, Nicecrew, and the like try to dogpile someone despite the fact that their instance is already defederated.

@applejack I guess you're right. I do plan on including mods for the site as well.

Here is what I have so far. A table for games, a table for tags, and a table for tag links. Eventually, there will be a table for mods, which is why tag_link either references a game or a mod.

Well, it turns out that the vast majority of NoSQL databases are source-available proprietary, and the few FOSS ones are a bit too confusing.

@applejack >You wouldn't want to store tag data on posts themselves

I was thinking about going with a two table solution. Not the three table one.
