Despite Linux, llvm and Blender proving that open source can beat closed source, GIMP has failed for a very long time. If Microsoft sold something like GIMP, we've never hear the end of criticisms. I'm not good enough to fix it, b

Very neat. Is there any reason to use this for mainline DOS games and applications? Also, how does it compare to DosBox-X for Windows 95?

They don't require it if you don't include OSS artifacts/code in your shipped product. You can use gcc to build closed source software.

FOSS code is the backbone of many closed source for-profit companies. The license allows you to use FOSS tools and Linux, for instance, to build fully proprietary software.

For sure it did. Every possible telltale sign, but that table and the emdash were the final proof we needed.

Many people become professional students when high education is free. This problem isn't exclusive to Europe, but less common in the US. In Latin America, many people take on masters and PhD while living with their parents. You are oft

The Hobbit had randomness and emergent gameplay in ways that even Infocom didn't quite reproduce. A classic.

I've never played Avalon but it looks like a better text adventure. I'm not talking about hardcoded or randomized worlds, but truly reactive worlds. In my experiment with ChatGPT, I was walking around in a museum (that was the sce

MUDs are a low-tech version of what I'm describing. It relies on other people being available and generally leverages the usual tropes with repetitive killing-based gameplay. LLMs are limited today, but one day they may be able to prov

It did for a long time, but depending on busy friends makes it so I can't play this whenever I want. My "dream" game is a single-player game I can play as many times I want without having to rely on others.

One of my dream games is a truly open world text adventure. I got a glimpse of it by having ChatGPT run this game, but it started hallucinating and misremembering after a few rounds. It has to be perfect to avoid breaking the immersion, b

I remember being SO HAPPY when I got rid of all my cassette tapes and vinyl discs for CDs. I was an early adopter of digital and, to this day I don't regret it. There's no way I'm going back. What's next? VHS?

This is the year of LibreOffice on the government? I'd love if you were right, but I doubt it. The chasm is enormous, and maybe you don't use Excel enough to realize it.

We've been seeing variations of the same article every week. The answer has been the same for a long time: this is great but unfortunately there are advantages in using Office and that's the reason we shouldn't expect mass mi

They make gazillions. I'm sure they can do better than that. How many awful things in tech can be rationalized away by "sorry, but this is for you/our protection"?

Mostly agree, but I have a different complaint about the lighting... The movie theaters I go in the US don't FULLY turn the main lights off, which drives me crazy. It's 95% off, but not 100%. In addition, there's always a bit

The difference between poison and medicine is the amount. AI is great and very useful, but they want the AI to replace you instead of supporting your needs. "AI everywhere" is worse than "AI nowhere". What we need is &qu

So add another 14 to the original 14+14, giving 42 years of maximum protection. That would cover your examples and require active renewal to send abandonware to the public domain earlier. I'd love to see shorter terms, but active renew

Godot has full C# support and it is a first class citizen. GDScript has a few advantages, the main being game package size, but they are extras from the fact it's a custom language. The C# development experience is smooth.

This reminds us that America isn't the only place with ridiculous and problematic laws despite getting all the attention. I don't pray in public or private, but I think others should have the right to do so.
