Sometimes, when you are coming up with scenarios for fiction, you have to think if the plot will go well in our current climate.

For example, I have a Strangereal (Ace Combat)-like fictional universe. In it, I have an idea for a 3-way war that happens in said universe. Basically, an island territory is allowed to secede from its host nation, and becomes a quasi-libertarian nation, but this creates opposition from both far-left and far-right factions. In total, there are 3 factions:

* The newly created nation
* A far-left, post-colonial anarchist liberation front comprised of some of the indigenous population along with allies.
* Some far-right, imperial Japan-like country who takes it as an opportunity to conquer the newly independent territory.

All three factions are at war with each other. In the game you are able to pick which faction you are on. The only problem is that I feel like such a scenario would be controversial. I just thought a 3-way conflict would be interesting and this is the first scenario that came to my mind.

Do you think this is fine? I have other stories for this setting, including an American-like country going to war with a country that is like a Modernized Roman Empire.

I plan of mostly talking about gamedev stuff on it though. I want a more laid-back experience.

This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

Fun fact: even I don't know how to pronounce my own username, so feel free to pronounce it anyway you want.

I never visit Fosdem because I like their ethics or anything like that.

My main reason for visiting Fosdem for me is just to meet people and socialize. Most of my fedi timeline is going there so I just wanna chill and maybe watch some interesting talk here and there.

Personally I would love to have an actual free software conference similar to LibrePlanet in Europe.

Yeah, instead of protesting at Fosdem (which is never going to be good, due to being organized by open source), I think our time would be much better spent much better organizing an actual free software conference.

The presence of ethically questionable companies worth millions or even billions of euros like Google, Red Hat, Oracle, Mozilla, Element, Canonical and many many more was always there at FOSDEM.

If you have a problem with Jack Dorsey's new Block company you should ask yourself the question, why is this any different?

To me this seems just like another drop in the bucket.

Remember that FOSDEM is not a free software convention, it has "open source" in the name. The organizers do not care about software freedom. It has always been like this.

Anyway if Jack Dorsey wants to talk about his bullshit blockchain company who the fuck cares, right?

Just don't watch the talk?

I do not see the point in disrupting the talk with protests.

if i was getting paid monthly e.g. through liberapay just to have money to live normally again, i'd be more than happy to work full-time on the shit i said i was gonna do, and try my hands atnew shit like porting/testing shit for mobile (lineage and pmOS). basically i wanna do all the tedious shit nobody else wants to touch but someone needs to do if we're gonna have any hope to ax all the technical debt around us

If you ever wonder what you’re missing by being on “dark fedi”, the answer is nothing.

Arkansas Bill Targets CBDC 🎯

SB47 would exclude central bank digital currencies from the state's definition of money - creating roadblocks to their implementation and pushing back against federal overreach.

Well, ironically, now that I've installed the #NVIDIA version of #ZorinOS, one of my monitors doesn't work 😂

Is this a common thing in #Ubuntu based #Linux? If so, I wonder why they offer this method as an option if it just causes more problems.

I never thought I would ever see a libertarian party parody the fourteen words.

@Dan_Ramos @eriner it's just a stupid posture, like when youtubers were getting videos taken down so they started putting their videos on porn tube sites for a day (I put an anti immigration video on pornhub and they took it down in minutes lol, why does it take them months to remove rape and revenge porn videos)

Why is it ok for people to listen to music and then compose something inspired by what they listen to, but it's not ok for generative ai to do this? The principles are the same

There is finally boss music. It was hard to find a good track because I don't want anything too epic as I might use that for a better game.
