Literally just button remapping support for my MX Ergo.

And for the fool who always comes into these threads to tell me again that I must not have tried in several years, I tried last month. Talked to the Solaar dev, tried to reach out to Logitech, literally nothing to be done.

Yeah, I’ve used qbittorrent, deluge, utorrent, and a number of other clients over the years. I greatly prefer transmission. I don’t need my torrent client to do anything but download and seed.

I bet this person hates GIMP too.

I don’t think it’s possible to have a significant impact on transphobia on the internet purely via debate and text. I do think it’s very possible to have a substantial impact in real life just be being a visible trans person out in public life interacting with people.

A lot of people have never once in their life had a conversation with a trans person. It’s a lot harder to weaponize someone’s existence when they become a fixture in your life. It also gives you an opportunity to occasionally share some of your struggle with people and educate them in a more direct way, but I think the former is often more valuable.

You feel like this because it’s an incredibly unhealthy way to live and an utter waste of human potential. Stop doing it.

Huh? I mean buildings get condemned or rebuilt sometimes, but talk like that tells me you haven’t been to Boston or New York.

You’re literally asking for the ‘average’ of a country containing everything from desert to tundra to a variety of types of forest and just about every biome in between. We’ve got political situations ranging from state endorsed persecution and torture of minorities on the one hand to policies that are at times to the left of the European mainstream on the other.

You might as well compare Norway and Turkey as Massachusetts and Texas. In the latter case they share a federal government, but both also ignore that government when it suits them. Like, look at the confusing legal situation around marijuana in the US. It’s legal in more and more states, but it’s federally illegal. So like, technically it’s federally illegal in states where it’s legal, but we just ignore that for most purposes. It does mean that dispensaries largely have to operate with cash, though.

In Massachusetts it’s even weirder. We have a ballot initiative process, so the people can make new laws by making a big enough petition and putting it on the next election ballot. That’s how we passed decriminalization, then medical, then legalization. No Massachusetts politician really took up the issue and endorsed it, we just voted it in. Which forced our state law makers to basically ignore the federal prohibition.

You could also expect to see this happen in Massachusetts if, for example, abortion were federally criminalized. We already ignore other states’ laws about things like family planning and immigration.

The US really isn’t a monolith legally or culturally.

Stop fighting your body and find a night job.

It can certainly be interpreted in a number of ways, but I think you’re missing a key element of the story. Humans gaining ‘knowledge of good and evil’ is the process of humans becoming self-aware. Rather than simply unselfconscously being what we are without judgement, we sort our behaviors into good and evil. Suddenly they know they’re naked, and the question they’re faced with isn’t ‘why do you care that you’re naked?’ but ‘who told you that you’re naked?’. Animals are naked too, but they’re not aware of it because they’re not hung up on the mortality of their own actions.

It’s not so much, to my reading, that there’s an active decision being made to kick them out as that they’re no longer capable of benefiting from it. Their self-consciousness itself prevents them from being able to continue to enjoy that primordial state of being before the need to second guess themselves.

It represents the loss of human innocence. It’s not that they did wrong and were punished, it’s that they came to view the world in a way that’s harsher.

Damn right, because I don’t pick up.

“I hate talking on the phone and won’t pick up, text me.” also often works.

You should be able to show… a little bit of porn during impeachment hearings. 🥚

I mean, yeah. Have you been on reddit since the API stuff? It’s absolutely flooded with bots trying to make up the difference. Which is like, reddit playbook 2009. The broken links are pretty prolific too at this point.

It’s not going to like, close its doors, but it certainly isn’t in the position it was just a few months ago.

Lol, no it isn’t. It’s some extremely niche shit that 90% of people know very little about.

Okay, but the video cuts off just before the answer and the page is formatted to draw attention away from the article.

Why is this being downvoted? Not everyone is an army nerd and knows all this shit.

It’s not reactionary to say that capitalism is bad. Capitalism is literally terrible. Not commerce, capitalism. Buying and selling things isn’t wrong, but extracting and consolidating surplus labor from the working class is.

Unreal is safe now, but there are no guarantees under capitalism. A FOSS license does guarantee that enshittification won’t be a factor because it literally can’t become the exclusive property of some company with a greedy executive board. Unreal doesn’t have that protection, Godot does.

Could Godot be compromised some how? Sure. Can it be enshittified? Not really.

The thing is, this could change at any time. The problem with enshittification is that it spreads. A company that’s doing great work today could be bought out by corporate profiteers and leeched of its actual value at any point in the future. We’ve had plenty of companies that started out with a vision and a set of strong principles who’ve been reduced to predatory business practices that are bad for everyone. You can’t assume that because a company seems to have integrity now, that integrity will remain.

Remember Elon Musk 15 years ago? Wasn’t quite the same, was it?

To me, sitting in a position of getting started in game development, that makes me want to sink my time and effort into an engine that I know can’t be enshittified because it can’t be bought out. I want to know that in a few years I’m not going to completely scrub every asset and mechanic that I make for the engine because somebody’s pulled some Darth Vader shit.

Bottom of the lake is pretty cheap iirc.

I don’t really even trust Unreal until Unity takes a legal hit for this. What’s to stop Epic doing the same thing?

Considering how locked into an engine a project can get, why risk a corporate engine unless you absolutely have to?
