I want full control of data being collected on me, period. I don't care if someone patronizingly thinks it will "help" me. That is not their decision, it is mine. If someone's making money off my back they better give me

Orthodoxy has its own issues. What I want is nothing , for people to reach their own conclusions on the merits of whatever it is they are considering, and to be left alone in the quiet of my own thoughts without having to withdraw from soc

> "Climate action is due now" Couple that with some of the evidence as to why and you have a pretty good message to get out. So very many people don't like being told what to do, and all we do is yell at them with commands

I've played that. Unfortunately I don't think the spherical planetoid map concept works... navigating from one place to another is a huge PITA, and even the largest planetoids are still too small I can't quite put my finger o

Further, they are proprietary, non-open, they insert their branding into your site, and pass the blame for errors to their customers when they fail. They abuse an oligopoly position and obfuscate the addressing details of sites under their

All the maps I played and saw in the map selector were really small. The couple of single player campaign missions I played through seemed to be a couple of large hills and nothing more. And scale is an issue because I hate the tacticality

No, politics and social mores inserts itselves into these situations. I can guarantee you that those kids are thinking about none of those things. And what exactly makes politics mandatory in an article about brewing beer? Curing meat? If

I found the non-combat music in TA strikes a very compelling balance between emotion and tranquility without becoming monotonous, but I definitely agree that the in-combat music is a bit too bombastic for its own good

It ain't real life without at least a little bit of contradiction Can't practice tolerance without being intolerant to intolerance, for example...

Pretty much. People are being pulled in a thousand different directions by people with their calls-to-action. Mainly targeting advertisements and political messaging. More prosaic stuff like filing your taxes on time can be conveyed effecti

I really hope its better than Zero-K's music, their "professional" composer produced some of the most eye-rollingly awful syntesized orchestral music I've ever heard

In its successor, Supreme Commander, you could completely automate your base construction using those assist features and looping build queues

The scale on Zero-K is much smaller, sadly. My favorite aspect of TA was thousands of units on thousand-square kilometer maps

by tomc1985 5y ago
This is really cool! I found Zero-K very good in some areas and very disappointing in others, particularly the scale (or lack thereof). SupCom is great, but it has its own issues....

Yeah yeah yeah. I know. And I stopped caring. The that deserve to be muzzled (or worse, but that's not appropriate here...) are the manipulators of all kinds and colors. If the message has any kind of CTA, particularly political, it sh

I am generally against censorship but had to revise that stance after I realized we've given a global platform to manipulative idiots truly unworthy of global self-expression. If they want to espouse their crap they can stand on a real

Our leaders are no better than us, the entire concept of "nobility" and its resulting pomp and circumstance is the product of selfishness, artifice, and imagination stretched out over millenia. I rather like seeing that the empero

So much of the discussion on disinformation is completely disingenuous and a distraction from the fact that Facebook and other social media magnates need to radically restructure their business practices and strip away the last 15 years of

Huh? Just add the vendor repos to APT and install through them... no need for anything exotic

So add a couple of vendor repos and jump the versions queue like everyone else. I do this for all my main dependencies... postgres, ruby, etc

There was that incident a while back where a bunch of government leaks were outed as fake because they were printed with a (default MS Word) font that was not available or in use when the document was purportedly created
