Can’t check now, but if there aren’t forks named like BookTale and BookStory, I’ll riot.

Jokes aside, if the license he used allows forking, dude’s tripping, and could even get sued depending on the country for false accusation of crime.

And ah, Discord, great for nuking inconvenient chats. Imagine if it had happened over at a public forum so people’s reactions could be backed up.

And dunno where I’d draw the line, but 20k lines imo is a bit past reasonable. How would anyone audit that many in a timely manner? But with the “dev” doing that daily, that’d be hard to even pretend.

I’ve had a similar issue with / and some special keys. Numpad solved the / problem, using the system through SSH allows properly using your keyboard, and I’d imagine keybinds such as Gaomon’s or AntimicroX’s could be used too.

Worth noting resistance is not the same as a solution. While building it is important, the alternative being losing, it’s an eternal process.

As a comparison, quoting Sabaton’s Versailles song:

it will evolve, it will change
and War will return, sooner than we think```

Energy ain’t free, the additional lights fuck sleep schedule, blackouts may happen, the computer produces heat which wears its own pieces, chances are it will be kept online meaning greater risk of being hacked, computer on means more read-write operations which wear the memory down as Nutin said, and so on.

At most, maybe it’d be justifiable if it’s downloading/running something which can’t be stopped. Or another possibility though not a justification, the person isn’t responsible towards his/her machine. Otherwise, I struggle to think of reasons not to turn it off.

I think you’re best asking a lawyer, to be sure.

But from what I, random citizen, have looked into the matter out of curiosity, apparently they’re a grey zone, usually overlooked, ignored or accepted. But while you’d be sharing differential code, not the protected code itself, you needed to break a patent by reverse-engineering the game, which for draconian laws like the DMCA, is potentially worth even federal prison. Plus for others to apply the mod, they’d need to break the patent too by using the tools you indicate.

And there are cases where the game has official modding tools or that the devs explicitly say they’re fine with mods. In such cases, I’m fairly sure worrying isn’t needed.

I have a very slight feeling Reddit’s working for China, and not for the US. If I’m right, then chances only grow since the pushes for identity verification gained traction around last September.

It hurts internally and externally, if I may add. How would other countries trust a given country if this country doesn’t even respect right for defense?

I was just conjecturing. e.e"

Using Ollama, it’s a bit laggy using Termux on a Redmi Note 10 Pro, though the model I picked may not be the best optimized.

Even on the lower end, 17,5% is still a lot. And I can’t help but wonder how many people that never comment but are always there decided to drop as well.

If anything, considering Reddit seemingly at damage control mode and their opaque numbers, I wouldn’t doubt they lost far more people than they’d be willing to show.

Wouldn’t there be standard forums with fediverse integration, like NodeBB?

Linux initially, giving way for me to see that the best alternatives to me are generally the ones I control.

And considering geopolitics, where I can see how dangerous a well-positioned spy/saboteur/paid actor can be, my next self host project is some ActivityPub social media, at least as an one-user instance since I don’t want to act as a company yet, so I have control of where I’m posting from too.

If seen as a solution, it’ll lead to disaster. If seen as a tool, then something good could come. But a tool being a tool, it’s as good as the person using it. And there’s the concern of it causing addiction similar to TikTok to be tackled if it is to be reliable, and not a dependence source.

Did it myself. Thanks to point out. =D

Federated, ye:

Design-wise, Friendica resembles Facebook.

I’d add to the suggestions Friendica too. Unfamiliar with Piefed (maybe I’ll create an account on the flagship instance to try out), but the other two also allow following microblogging stuff (e.g. Mastodon), as well as having microblogging functions to thread posts (e.g. boosting and tags).

Preaching the choir here, but please use it as a motivation to feed the fediverse more. 👌

And related to this, a good use of the fediverse is that, if there’s nothing inherently bad about what you’re trying to post but your chosen instance is tripping like Reddit, you can just give the finger to it and pick another instance. Or if the community is the one tripping, you can make your own, or look for an already existing alternative.

Pretty useful imo so when you’re browsing, you only find posts you didn’t see before.

A hidden post is hidden only for the account that jod it.

Not quite the same, but since Reddit doesn’t want you there, why not try feeding other forums? There’s plenty outside of the fediverse too.
