I make everything public domain because I absolutely ignore all copyright and trademarks myself and don't want people annoying me about my code or other creative works. Just copy it or use it or do whatever the fuck you want to with it, don't bother me about it

Not every state is as friendly as this. There’s still potential to use eminent domain, tax adjustments, or even environmental sabotage to ruin this, among other things. Certain people are petty enough that they literally will fight to change state laws over allowing people to just live in peace.
@djsumdog @coolboymew The best solution for any parent is to not set up any user accounts on any of the computers at home and instead give their kids one of those flash-drives with a custom Linux distro that has a whitelist of approved websites and software (there are companies that sell them if you can't make them yourself). There is not much to work around if you can only use the computer with said drive and a whitelist. Though the kid may have a tech-savvy friend who may give them a Linux flash drive without a whitelist, but that's probably the only loophole.

>The return of the desktop computer at home would also make it so that the next generation aren't computer retards again too as a bonus
Remember they aren't getting dos/win98/xp like we did.
They're getting either mac or win11, no local accounts, all cloud storage, win app store. It is not much different than android.
So to add on the list of proper things to do:
-No smart* anything.
-No tech illiteracy/finance an admin.
-Familial multi cession computer.
-FSF cert GNU/linux for the OS.
>The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever
It requires not being illiterate and that's not going away in the current context.

> The 'consultant', by way of the registry, is now greatly empowered to cut lucrative short-term deals that enables him/her to work various jobs of their choosing, all under the aegis of 'consulting'...a work-around to the status quo.
I hope they're charging them triple or more the rate they would have been making working for them.

Still volatile, but not on the level of crypto.

Speaking of indie games, has anyone gotten Mina the Hollower? I loved Shovel Knight and would like to know if it's worth getting.

"Meta had argued that it can't be sued in Vermont court because neither the company nor the app design has specific ties to the state. Vermont countered that the sites' large number of teen users gives its courts jurisdiction. "
Talk about seriously disturbing. They just threw out a legal concept called jurisdiction or more specifically nexus in one blow that protects everyone from having to obey the laws of every other state on the mere basis someone might use a product or site in another state.
There is no way anyone including a large entity could even begin to comply with the 10s of millions of laws that exist in just the 10,000 + legal jurisdictions within the United States.
What this means is everyone is effectively guilty of violating millions of laws simply because they posted something that can be accessed on the internet.
This is not the first time that US courts have accepted this kind of nonsensical argument.
It's getting more and more dangerous to live within the United States when foreigners can demand and get your extradition despite that you've NEVER even stepped into their jurisdiction.
If a states wants to extradite a liberal for saying means things on the internet what's to stop them now? Or vice versa for that matter.
The answer is pretty much nothing if you completely throw the concept of jurisdiction and nexus right out the window.
Previously accepted weak arguments have been "you have a site where the domain name was registered using a company in the United States and therefore we have jurisdiction".... or "you sent your physical property into another state (DVD rentals) therefore we can tax you" (pre-US Supreme court ruling that threw out nexus for sales taxes, which is probably the biggest can of worms).
>All these PC gaming blackpills about pricing and neglecting anti-cheat
Good thing that most of my gaming these days is just emulation that can run on a potato. I'm pretty much oblivious to most of the modern gaming cancers that way.

_C++ is Officially Dead (And the US Government Just Pulled the Plug)_
FTA: In a landmark report published by the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD), the federal government made an unprecedented intervention into software engineering practices. They didn’t just suggest a change; they demanded an industry-wide purge of C and C++.
Here is the exact phrasing that sent shockwaves through the defense and tech industries:
We, as a nation, have the ability — and the responsibility — to reduce the attack surface in cyberspace. Creators of software and hardware can better secure the building blocks of cyberspace by migrating away from memory-unsafe languages like C and C++, and transitioning to memory-safe programming languages. — US White House Office of the National Cyber Director

There's a balance between being social and having privacy. Privacy does not have to mean that everything you do is cloaked and no one knows who you are. It means that not everything you do, say, or think is being watched and recorded without your permission.
This post is NOT private! I am publishing for all to see (though only a small number of people will see it).
If I want to communicate details of something to a friend or a business client, I would use an encrypted messenger so that those details are not published for all to see.
Privacy is taking the steps limit the broadcast of information about your activities. No law can accomplish that. Only you.

I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I'm incorporating total introspection and control of FRUTE VM through an MCP socket so that an LLM can control and debug it. It grants structured access to all onscreen windows and ui widgets, the Scheme REPL, and can inject mouse movement, drags and clicks, as well as keystrokes. it can snapshot the screen.
the window construction already lets you add semantics to the widgets and windows. the mcp can read it. the llm doesn't have to scrape anything.

When people think Flock, they think cameras...
It's more than that. It's an entire surveillance ecosystem that listens, watches, and tracks you, built quietly in your neighborhood without consent, under the banner of 'safety.' Welcome to the panopticon.

The problem with working on a project with a small group of people, whether it's an indie game, independent film, small business etc is that you will almost always have one person who will eventually act like it's their project, even if they didn't start it. They will slowly develop the "my way or the highway" attitude and if they serve an important role, it's hard not to say no to them because they can just leave at anytime.
It can even get more extreme in some cases. For example, that Oddity game that started off as the fanmade Mother 4 had a developer leaked various builds of the game out of spite. It's just so easy to sabotage small projects like this.
That's why you really need to know who you are working with. As far as I can tell and at least here in the United States, it's 100% legal to hire on an invite-only basis. I highly recommend only working with people you know personally or mutually if you want to start on some project. There are a lot of narcissists out there who will sabotage anything you make to make it theirs.
