For me it depends on the advertising. A brand that sells say bags? It’s fine, I love a cool bag. And then there is the “Play this one stupid game that has everyone hooked!!!” With an unrelated picture. Or “This guy became a millionaire in O

Your experience also confirms what I feel Godot is particularly suited for : playtesting and pre-production of parts of your game. You could quickly bang together all kinds of parts to see if your idea works, and then incorporate those in o

I think the latter. These guys aren’t consumers in the same way most of the public is. They are beholden to other bounds and checks which keeps them in place. I had the pleasure to go along for a week with a bunch of CEOs, one was a former

That’s nuts. I guess not liking journalists is fine, but to shutdown your press department? That’s just juvenile.

I changed the wording. Basically you get noname brand authors quotes next to really legendary figures quotes because it’s all gamed.

There is also a problem with quotes; you have these nobody self-help book writers adding hundreds (?) of quotes that are very poor, and gamed with upvotes. So you some see some nobody authors quote next to Plato.

I really am I favor of your suggestion. Next to that my stance is that big companies should be by law be required to have a human representative you can contact, especially in the time of AI.

I think Disney can still sue for making something that closely resembles Mickey Mouse no? As in products that make it hard to differentiate between an official Disney product and a copy. As the article states, the trademark is still there.

We just talked about browser choices yesterday. I really hope we get back a “people’s” browser and not boxed in experiences from Big Tech that the market currently has. I hope this project remains dedicated to such a vision!

Interesting! From wiki: In Northern Kurdish language (Kurmanji), the same word can have two genders according to the context. For example, if the word dar (meaning 'wood' or 'tree') is feminine, it means that it is a liv

English is ultimately derived from Indo-European. The earliest surviving language of that language tree is actually vedic Sanskrit. It has 3 numbers (single, dual, plural) and 3 genders (male, female, neuter) So you need to look at language

Everytime we discuss this here, there are still a ton of ways people defend using Chrome. It’s like being sucked into the network effect and they feel powerless without using Chrome. I would like to counter that and say that diversity is be

What is the definition of “you”? If I may ask. if your identity is mostly mental, I can see why any bodily exertion might seem less “you”. This is coming from someone who was in his head a lot. Most people don’t even realize it that they ar

I just read a whole thread on their forums, apparently no one has. There seem to be a few issues with getting it over. Affinity mentions it takes $500k to develop a Linux version and their market research says they will never recoup that.

The whole area of this place is very interesting from a governmental perspective. You got the City of London which has its own governing and even police, and you got an area called Temple which also has its own powers historically.
