Good advice...
excerpt from Miles Mathis
https://mileswmathis.com/revo.pdf


Contrary to what you have been told, it is individuals
who are all important, not groups or organizations. All great change comes from individuals and
percolates up from there. Was Jesus an institution or an individual? And even now, 2000 years later,
Jesus is more important than all the churches and Christian institutions put together, including the
Vatican. Jesus had no money and no publisher and only a handful of friends, while the Vatican has
trillions of dollars, but the levels of influence aren't even close. They don't want you to remember that,
which is why I am reminding you. That doesn't mean you should be a Protestant rather than a Catholic,
or that you should choose a sackcloth denomination. It just means you should never underestimate
your ability to do good or solve problems. There is no demand from God that today be just like
yesterday; in fact the demand from God is that today should be better than yesterday. Clean up
yourself and your surroundings and get on with it

I love how Reddit is universally hated more than ever, yet nobody wants to bring back forums.

"Yeah, I'm going to continue to attack the one laptop manufacturer that makes laptops that will last you more than one year." (Don't quote me on that, I haven't tried one myself.)

@mischievoustomato the problem is those get cucked by laws where you're at, the issue is also that nobody against this takes it seriously or ends up getting cucked every day like the 3d printing guys have been once the techno libertarian dream meets Everytown for Gun Safety, and unlike the FPC and Gun Owners of America, it turns out you need to sue people to get shit done instead of uploading a video whining DAD IT'S OVER BRO

Anyone else notice the last name of the CEO of the company of the Flock surveillance system is Langley?

And it turns out that my mini PC's internal storage got corrupted during the storm and I need to wait a few more days/weeks to recover it (when the power in my area comes back on) :bunhdknife:

At least I was able to sleep without waking up in a pool of sweat, ever since I left home.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, each Shine Sprite can be collected twice because the icon of it appearing is not merely visual, but literally another Shine Sprite. This provides a cautionary tale to developers about never implementing a visual effect as the object itself.

I really want to rant about the place I'm staying for the time being, but I don't want to dox my location.

I published the leaked Worlds sources on my personal website if anybody is interested. I was going to keep them lowkey for longer so nobody could claim that we illegally used the code in our FOSS client rewrite, but since we never got around to developing that and Worlds Inc finally went bankrupt, I decided it was time. You can find the download at Library -> Archives.

Well power is out, possibly for weeks in my area. I'm currently staying somewhere else but for only a few days.

@geistigbehindert @deprecated_ii if you want to get technical, the choice of language doesn't really impact whether something qualifies as an "engine" or not. Plenty of games written in assembly formalized their systems into engine-like structures for reuse across multiple titles, and some of them were even commercialized.

for example, I think some of the early ultima games were written in assembly and yet shared an engine (primitive though it may have been by modern standards)

Apparently the F-Zero X PC Port is out, includes DD content?

Closing hours and I'm still just fucking around mapping. Gotta finish this up. This is like the last gameplay thing before it's freeze mode. It's complete end-to-end. But the levels need more refinement for gameplay.

💰 Paper money is political fraud

Depreciate the currency
Pay debts on the cheap
Rob the people in the process

than that of issuing paper to depreciate
for the paying debts, on easy terms”

I do not think it is a big deal that support for those old 486 CPUs is being removed from the current Linux kernel.

I think no one is asking to be able to run the latest Linux 7.** kernel on a 486.

People who are running that hardware are very likely on older versions on Linux (or other retro operating systems) and not looking to run the latest Linux anyway.

However, on the other side of the argument, why remove it? I do not believe there are any pressing security issues with keeping the code that supports those CPUs. If there are problems, they could just be left with notices of what doesn't work for the three people in the world that may affect.

I don't really think it matters either way.

If someone wants to run a current OS on a 486, there's NetBSD.

... but I do not think we should expect to run a current OS on a CPU that old. That's what the 'retro computing' genre is about. Just run an old OS on that hardware.

@mr_penguin

Rolling releases are simply for people with no lives. Get busy for 3 weeks and forget to update and magically you're in dependency hell with a bricked system.
