I think I'm 1/2 to 2/3 the way done with the SDL conversion. The only thing I'm currently avoiding the the text related stuff because I actually haven't messed with SDL_ttf yet.

The parties are just surface structure, tools used by the deeper players. The problem is rooted in the logical fallacies that most believe as articles of faith, in the philosophical disagreements thereby created, and in the "winner takes it all" game-theoretical reality created by the majority's belief in the legitimacy of monopoly providers of justice and security.

This SFML to SDL conversion is coming much more smoothly than I expected. Then again, we still need to wait until it is ready to compile to see if it works.

@chrislw @preya Cryptpad only because you can upload multiple files at once. The only downside is that it isn't federated, unlike Nextcloud.

I'm going forward on porting Refractored Depths to SDL and I am already single-handedly replacing every SFML API call with its SDL equivalent. Hopefully, I can get this done and port it to Windows as well as having a more reliable build for Linux. Though obviously, I can't test anything until all SFML calls are replaced so I can't test things in increments.

I really feel like me using an outdated version of SFML really hurt the potential that Refractored Depths could have made. I guess I could take the blame for being ignorant and insisting on some relatively obscure multimedia library that is dynamically linked by default and breaks compatibility without warning.

However, at least using SDL means that I can also port it to more obscure platforms. I'm strongly considering porting the game to SerenityOS because that OS looks like it has a lot of potential and there aren't that many games being made for it. I could probably get a cult following there.

@sun @coolboymew @joemcl DNS already gives them all the control they'd need. Set up a network that only relays social.eu and only hand subdomains of that out to approved parties. That they aren't simply doing that tells me that the fuss is more about supplementing the budget with corporate fines than in actually doing something that would burden the EU with a public expectation to shut down the next CIA coup in Hungary or the like.

@LukeAlmighty The left used to talk about the Bilderberg Group, which is like the WEF but much more secretive, but I never hear them talk about it much anymore.
