is it still an amiga if there's a second computer living inside it like a symbiotic bacteria?
@bonkmaykr So I was reading your blogpost on your commitment to ethical business practices and I thought that I could make some suggestions:
>Publishers eventually give up and move onto the next money printer. I'm a huge WipEout fan, but SCEI doesn't make those anymore...a game series dies and it's legacy entries are all that's left
To prevent a franchise from dying, the best thing to do (imo) is to release the characters, settings, lore, etc under the public domain or to have a very lax fan-game policy where even commercial games are allowed (think Touhou). If one thing is to be "open-source", I think the franchise itself should be the one.
>Unfortunately, our early releases will still be proprietary for a limited period of time. There is sadly an increasing number of small shovelware publishers under fake names that recycle software from Git repositories or dump bytecode from projects and repackage them to sell for a quick cash grab, without any of the rights you ought to have.
You can simply have the code be open while having the assets being proprietary. Anyone using your code but with different assets would effectively have a different game all together.
If you are concerned about shady forks destroying your reputation, the 3-clause BSD license prohibits products from claiming that you endorse them and the zlib license requires that all modified copies to be plainly marked as such. To prove that the original code came from you, you can use pre-release builds along with Git commit time-stamps as proof.
You can simply have the code be open while having the assets being proprietary. Anyone using your code but with different assets would effectively have a different game all together.Thanks for the feedback, and this is already the plan but the only thing really stopping us is that often times something being illegal to do is not enough of a deterrent. So I would prefer to go that route when we are steady enough to take on that risk without concern. The assets might be our IP, but it is still trivially easy for a bootlegger to recycle them for a profit and walk away with the money, especially if they're outside of US jurisdiction.

The vast majority of countries on Earth have signed the Berne Convention, meaning that your copyright is automatically recognized internationally, outside of a few third-world countries. Anyone getting way with violating your copyright has to be either living in one of those countries, remaining relatively obscure, or practicing good OPSEC.
Though I do understand that delayed open-source might be the best option, but I am reminded of Notch promising to open-source Minecraft and he instead sold it to Microsoft.
Potion, Wagami wo Tasukeru
It seems like a middle between motion comic and full animation. I was first thinking it was AI, but there's no way, it's too consistent for AI right now
It still manages to have cute shots. This is adequate for a half runtime short I guess and I've seen worse dogshit than that
@coolboymew@shitposter.world looks almost interpolated or something weird like they slowed it down and interpolated it back
@coolboymew@shitposter.world I do not hate it. Reminds of something a video game would use for a flash back scene or a trailer. Though not sure if I would want to watch a whole series in that style.
@coolboymew@shitposter.world looks like vector graphics with motion tweening to show limited movement
@coolboymew Reminds me of flash animations tbh

(This was really good btw)
Work is work and if someone can keep their personal views out of it when it's not relevant, the quality of the work should be judged on it's own merits. I don't think holding that principle of neutrality is a very far reach. It is not Framework's duty to only support the people you like because of the reasons you approve. Particularly if we are talking about open source software where many of these are not directly making a profit, and particularly when this is a business and not a person. There's a dedicated time and place for everything.
I've watched a lot of maintainers gatekeep their projects to only contributors or members they agree with, and it never ends well for them, even if the people kicked out were objectively in the wrong. It demonstrates to onlookers that the maintainers care more about their own reputation than skill. And most of these are the same kinds of people who will insert extreme political messaging into projects that favor themselves. Probably the nastiest examples are when Discord Chat Exporter and node-ipc were compromised to target Russian users, with DRM and aggressive malware respectively. Not the government, mind you, but random ordinary people they thought were Russian. It's cultist bullshit.
Also, vaxry isn't even an extremist, all of that shit was made up by a known pedophile because he was mad he couldn't control vax's project. Never seen any serious proof of the claims against him. So even if this "you're supporting a nazi" stuff had any weight, it's aimed at the wrong people.
"The Law of the Server is the Law of the Site: a Trans-Atlantic Free Speech Defense Doctrine
"A note to fellow U.S. legal practitioners on European Union censorship laws."
By co-counsel in the case 4chan Community Support LLC and Lolcow LLC dba Kiwi Farms vs The UK Office of Communications AKA Ofcom.
"“The law of the server is the law of the (web)site.” Or, for the more classically minded among you: lex loci machinae."
As implied, has some interesting things to say about US lawyers coming up to speed on this.
More interesting is how email suffices for legal notice in Europe! But does not satisfy US due process requirements, or as he said to the BBC, "Americans do not surrender our constitutional rights just because Ofcom sends us an e-mail."
This is becoming big due to the U.K.'s new blitzkrieg against free speech.
Just sayin
@bonkmaykr There are plenty of engines that are named GameMaker, granted they predate Mark Overmars's engine, but still. I don't think that it matters if the name has already been used, as long as it is not trademarked.
I'm learning that fedi clients all suck shit on iOS/are years out of date, and nobody cares because you can't build iOS apps on an x220, only a brand spankin new MacBook (or someone who paid for access to a remote one).
Of course none of this matters because I can't code.
fedi clients on android suck ass as well
former tor relay operator is being systematically destroyed by feds for refusing to decrypt tor traffic from his exit node. they literally told a judge his graphics driver was "dark web hacking software"
now he's in jail with a head injury from their raid, having seizures, denied medical care, no lawyer
all the evidence is documented here: https://rockenhaus.com
independent journalists need to pick this up immediately. this family is getting destroyed and it's all documented with video evidence (i made a mirror of all the videos as idk how long they will last on youtube)
please boost this. people need to be talking about this case
, or return as defective :)Maybe also update BIOS if you didn't since they might have added OC later for whatever reason. It's Gigabyte after all.
The "OC Guide" they have on the UD AX page isn't even for the same chipset.
)>I fucking hate the current pc market, why do they hate their customers
And then they get confused why people are buying more consoles.
I don't even want a new computer after building a "midrange" one for a friend. For €2.3K. It's insane.
