@beardalaxy It seems like every video game sequel ever is just a collection of ideas that couldn't be implemented in the previous game due to a limited budget, time constraints, or technical limitations. I'd say just work on the horror game next while having a complete design doc for God's Disdain 2.

@dcc @theorytoe @gabriel I never thought I would live to see Bryan Lunduke say "nigger", but given that he is pretty much cancelled everywhere, he probably realized that he has nothing to lose anymore.

no joke she would have singlehandedly caused at least several dozen furries to cancel their Microsoft Office subscriptions

@theorytoe @dcc @gabriel I think that depends on where you live. All the small tech businesses here are mostly IT, not CS. Though ideally, I think you should have knowledge in both.

>I think also we are at a point where a lot of my own generation is starting to finish the school/college grind and start actually integrating themselves into the industry

Except so many tech companies are still doing mass layoffs that these graduates are working at McDonald's or going back to school for a different degree/cert.

@theorytoe @dcc @gabriel These idiots think that the FLOSS movement has always been a far-left movement when that has never been the case.

Chris Chan would have a lot of cash right now if he did better at protecting his trademark.

Oh. It turns out that this was just in response to an anonymous spam post that just said "NIGGER BALLS" which got enough people triggered that they had to write this lengthy blog post in response. I kid you not.

Well it looks like Codeberg is following the footsteps of SourceHut. I mean, I always knew that they would ban people for promoting Nazism, but at least that has a clear definition. "Far-right" is extremely vague and according to the highlighted text in the first image, it seems like they are standing against right-wingers in general. Are they going to ban people for having moderately conservative views, not being against capitalism, being pro-gun, or being into conspiracy theories? Given, that the CEO is also friends with Drew DeVault, this does seem likely.

It seems like this blog post was in response to some harassment campaigns against certain project maintainers, but the final paragraph is extremely vague. It implies that they might purge any "far-right" (or simply "right-wing") user off of their platform. Again, the CEO is friends with Drew DeVault who goes out of his way to eliminate anyone he disagrees with from the FLOSS community, including moderate right-wingers, even if they promote those views off-site.

At this point, it's probably best that you just self-host your projects, if you can.

>If open platforms weren't so blatantly harmful to business interests, more platforms would be open and kids would probably be learning to program with little Switch hacks today.

I wish that console manufacturers would at least open their legacy platforms. Atari did that with the Jaguar, but Atari knew that would be their last console (Flashbacks and VCS don't count). Reverse engineering can only get you so far. That's why Dreamcast homebrew is a far cry from official Dreamcast games, as the homebrew games are running on MIL-CDs instead of Sega's proprietary GD-ROMs.

@r000t Can't wait to cheat the system by drinking water in a Mountain Dew bottle!

@georgia @Alex He co-founded Reddit. He deserved everything that happened to him.

@djsumdog @grey @Zergling_man I never cared about bluetooth (I will always prefer auxiliary ports or cassette adapters) and every car I've owned had at least one dead speaker.
