I suppose Rigs of Rods fits the bill, although I never played it.

TLDR: Drew DeVault may be viewing Loli images.

...Im kinda over drama "content" about persons in open source. I just want ~~to grill~~ to find cool libre software!

They loose a bit in coherence but there are still great episodes, in my opinion.

Theres also zulip, but I havent tried it yet, but its supposedly open source discord, but you have to host the server yourself I think.

what is up with wayland standards taking so long to finalise? They have been chewing on HDR for over 4 years now...

They are not. Your server admin and the admins of the server you send the message to could read the message, because its not encrypted.

Wow, sounds great. Maybe we do get private DMs in the fediverse, finally!

I'd add "Annihilation" to the mix. Its a newer movie inspired by "the color out of space", however the story goes a different way. Its a great atmospheric horror movie!

Well, to run with your analogy, I prefer things to be recyclable then to just throw them away.

I agree with you - to a point. The linux kernel is too big and complex to understand all of it as a single person. However, its critical software. Meaning, we are not depending on some nerd to find a bug anymore. There are companies that look through critical code to check for security issues.

Now imagine I made some somewhat popular open source server software that saved passwords in plaintext. Chances are good, that by sometime next week ill have someone on the internet scream at me for that. With proprietary software, no one is coming.

(Maybe at the next code review, someone will say something, but proprietary software does not imply me working at a corporation, and corporation does not imply the software having to be closed source)

Open source does not guarantee 100% secure software, but it does make obvious lapses in judgement much less likely. And sometimes, there IS a nerd who will look through the code because they wanted a feature, and finds a critical bug. Like the person that found the xz backdoor. The chance for that happening with closed source is zero.

Isnt that just... stealing? I mean, if that works, then im opening a fast food chain with a t&c you have to sign that legally allows me to take all your posessions...

[-] toothbrush 7 points 11 months ago

it wouldnt be useless, most "open source" models work like this. But yeah, having access to the dataset is very important, and in my opinion open source licenses requires its inclusion. However, no legal battles have been fought over that fact yet...

well its not exactly the same, but...
