All it takes is a few botnets over a decently distributed ip range to make this whole thing basically impossible.

> Mobile games by revenue make up more than 10% of the games industry I've said this already in another recent thread but mobile games and pc/console games are two entirely separate markets, with different potential customer po

This whole thing is such a completely nonsensical shitshow that I would be surprised if Unity the company even lasts long enough to enact this policy, what the hell is going on there?

Yeah I'm not saying Godot looks AAA ready, just that it's much closer than every other option. Although I would love to see how far a code only engine core + separate third party level editor tooling model could go, it appeals to

I feel like any piece of software that's widely applicable to a whole industry of users (3d modelling, image editing, game engines, etc) is destined to eventually solidify on an fully production quality open source solution that ever

From what I know: XBOX runs a variant of Windows. PS3/4/5 OSes have all been based on FreeBSD. Apparently Nintendo Switch runs a proprietary kernel, which is interesting ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo

I almost always learn things for fun, not because I'm deliberately trying to better myself (turns out self improvement comes easily for me when I don't overthink things). I'd much rather watch a 30 minute video that's en

The main problem with Debian is outdated software. For servers the fixed release cycle is great, everything is properly tested and it should be rock solid without really needing to touch it. But for a regular desktop/workstation system

Ubuntu kinda sucks now too. "Sign up for an account" is part of the install flow just like Windows. Fedora is my default "easy" Linux install nowadays, the excessively corporate vibes I get from Ubuntu feel very wrong fo

Neapolitan pizza needs to cook for like 3 minutes tops, but getting an oven hot enough for that on the back of a truck would probably be a challenge.

I feel like it's a mistake to consider mobile games as being part of the same market as PC/console games. Sure they're both "games" but I don't know that they're competing for the same set of users - eithe

Steam reviews are fantastic. It's one of the main reasons I don't touch the Epic store. I find it especially useful to specifically seek out the negative reviews on things to find out common gripes - it can reveal games with &quot

I'd trust a (trustworthy) password manager with most things, but I think wallet keys or similar are more of a post it note in a locked safe kind of thing (+ committing it to memory). Maybe a passworded encrypted flash drive in a hole i

Yep, the distinction between crappy knives and good knives is generally more about how long they hold an edge for rather than how sharp that edge is. Victorinox make knives that are good and cheap though. They're the only brand I kno

I hone mine every time I use it with a steel. Honing is not the same thing as sharpening - op was talking about sharpening. (For those curious - the sharp edge on the knife tends to bend over time, which makes it worse at cutting. Running i

> only sharpen knives once a year If you have a decent quality knife you do only need to sharpen it once a year + give it a few swipes on a honing steel every time you use it.

Sure, but that's not a problem unique to worker owned businesses, any business without enough revenue to pay its bills is going to fall over.

I agree with your point, but there's a nit I like to pick when the statistics of airline safety comes up. Comparing safety by deaths/injuries per distance travelled between different modes of transport does not make sense to me. T

You don't see how it generating a registered trademark in its output is a problem? You think it's okay to monkey patch this one obvious case and call it good?
