Since you deleted your other comment I'll reply to it here. >I haven't been talking to you about it for 50 years. I haven't been talking to anyone about it even as often as every year. Despite that, you can't engage i

There are a lot of casual users that the business model doesn't address. If you're a pro artist then CC is just a business expense and your clients pay for it. If you're not it's really hard to justify spending that amou

The implications seems to be that 'It was a long time ago, it didn't happen and if it did happen it doesn't matter'. An impressive amount of cognitive dissonance. It's not that people aren't trying to re contex

It's amazing the level of defensive outrage this event generates 50 plus years on. If we can't have an open discussion about shady events in the past then maybe we need to investigate the current interests preventing that open dis

Frankly I'll believe it when I see it, commercialization that is.

The correct price comparison is the cost of getting fuel to some remote FOB in Afghanistan which is extremely high.

In the context of civic engagement the only work by Putnam I could suggest is Bowling Alone. I also recommend Pew Research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_Alone https://www.pewresearch.org/politi

You are absolutely correct. As far as I'm aware they never sent any invites though. edit: Only the users of the AGPL service are owed the code, it doesn't need to be posted publicly.

by kfprt 5y ago
It didn't say that the beta was public. If you run AGPL code on a home server for personal use and someone hacks in I don't think you should owe them code.

Ideally you could map API calls to Vulkan but it would still be a huge amount of work.

Disk rot is slower than online service rot. The other day I tried FC3 blood dragon and it had an error because they shut the servers down. It hasn't even been 10 years.

It is. If you examine the proto indo european pantheon you will find that the many gods are merely archetypes from early societies everyday life. Religion exists as stories to guide the human experience and is the cultural tradition of tens

I wouldn't say religion has stagnated, it's more of an invisible force. For example in the quote "like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children" it refers to the Roman God Saturn, a God of a religion that had been dea

I'm not convinced it's cultural by way of inheritance. If anything it's the decline of traditional culture. A power vacuum that consumerism does not fill.
