This is literally the case for virtually any "alt-tech" platform. They start out supporting everyone, but then they cater to the group that is most active on their platform, be it Nazis, conservatives, libertarians, or even leftists.

@beardalaxy I already have my credits sequence start with an ending message before scrolling to the actual credits (much like the ending to Zelda 1). It's kind of already too late, unless I want to do a major overhaul to the credits code.

No it's just because they are a bunch of grifters and found out (at least for them) that "Nazis" (some of which hate porn and wouldn't use it if it had it) are more profitable than pornographers.

Imagine you're 80 years old, or even half that. This is your remote.

Take a guess on which power button turns it on, and which power button can leave you into a state where your TV don't work because it turned the cable box off or turned on the cable box and the TV off, etc.

I'm debating on whether I should even have music in the credits of my game, as I can't compose music myself and I need music that is timed with the credits. There are some works out there that get away with just having silent credits, but that usually signifies someone dying at the end or something like that.

@nach Posteo supports anonymous cash via mail payments so I would go with that.

90% of the bloat in Unreal appears to originate from making sure nobody ever has to touch C++. I think John Carmack had a very famous saying about this.

We couldn't believe it at first, but one of the most common numbers guessed about the #IPv6 adoption among logged-in users is 42%. We assume that many users took this number as a joke. But in all seriousness: it is correct! (It is exactly 42.0095476% higher than that of our largest competitor #GitHub 😄)

We boosted the first post with that guess, but feel free to browse all the other awesome project recommendations made in this thread, too!

(Context on the number 42: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_ )

@nach I've considered using it, though I haven't used it myself (mostly because I already have a Fedora Mail account, which is free). They seem pretty good, if you don't mind paying, but I wish they supported custom domains.

@djsumdog Have you tried Blender's video editor? For a while, I've heard it was Linux's only good video editor.

They died for “freedom,” and all we got was mass surveillance, packed cages, and the world’s third-biggest army—cosplaying as cops.
