New article on my site: I go over why you shouldn't buy new Windows computers just to install Linux on them.

@djsumdog He would be blocking more instances if he wasn't friends with SJW.
@djsumdog I think he recently banned any and all conspiracy theorists.
@ArdainianRight ALL political parties are your enemy. How many times do I have to say it? Modern politicians only exist to serve the shadow government. Political parties are an illusion.
Why am I addicted to OpenTTD. Running a transport business sounds boring as fuck.

Seeing people post positively about Substack now that it's challenging Twitter.
Reminder: Substack is also centralised. Worse, the business model is basically to take what would once have been blogs and paywall them as premium 'newsletters'.
Substack is not a friend of the open web.

>but seeing a door that can't be opened in a game that is an open-world adventure is always pretty sad
Fallout has unpickable locks. There are even buildings you can't enter. Though it is justified in-universe because they are boarded off as people thought that would protect them from a nuclear blast.
>most pokemon houses are completely unrealistic too, without beds or bathrooms. the MC house only has one bed and no bed for their mom lol.
I forgot about that. I only thought of Pokemon because your bedroom is on the second floor of the house.
>the game takes place during a plague, where a lot of the population has died, so i didn't want to have these massive cities with absolutely nobody and nothing in them.
A city with a lot of abandoned buildings would make sense in a depopulated world. Though I think you could justify the lack of buildings by saying that they burned the houses of the dead in hopes to stop the spread of the disease. You could also have abandoned buildings where you can loot. You can even leave diaries and letters in the buildings for the sake of world building.
@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson Oh. And if you think the company behind Matrix is bad. The CEO of Telegram is partnered with the World Economic Forum.

@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson I disagree with the Matrix part. I'm well aware of the problems with Matrix. Either way, don't use Telegram.

Discord is not only shitty as a program. The general community and culture around it are fucking awful. It's filled with zoomer smoothbrains and predators.

All software eventually becomes open source. If it doesn't, it either fades into obscurity or an open-source lookalike replaces it. Take web browsers, for example. Google develops Chromium (which also powers Brave, Opera, and now even Microsoft Edge) because they realize that this gives them influence over their competition. Because they understand that everything eventually becomes open source.
If a piece of software is a good enough idea, someone will eventually, in their spare time, create an open source version of it. It could be simply out of interest, to learn, or because they want to gain influence. Take Mastodon vs Twitter for example. Mastodon was created by a young man in his free time, and it's now in the ring with a $42bn company. It was able to do this specifically because it's open source, which stoked the enthusiasm of other technologists who self-hosted and made it happen. You will see how "Post News" and "Tribel" or whatever, have quickly burned up in the sun in the aftermath of Elon Musk's yesterday drama.
Everything eventually becomes open source because it can be. The reason people climb mountains is because they can. If you want to play the short game in an already flooded market, you are free to take your chances and build a secret project in a secret lair that nobody will ever find out about. Or you can start playing the long game from the very start and just build it open source. It would be a missed opportunity not to.

@Suiseiseki @Jojothegoodperson It's actually not JavaScript. It's proprietary bytecode that is executed by a VM written in obfuscated JavaScript.
@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack If you request an account from SJW, you can probably get an account without using reCaptcha.
@Alex @beardalaxy Just only show the necessary rooms and add doors that lead to nowhere as decorations.
