Ate without table -3

and that is, by definition, NOT “DRM”.

really? i was pretty sure there is a toggle for that…might be misremembering tho.

i find toggle ads to be kinda clunky, so i always use hold ads anyways…except in games with lots of sniping/camping, that’s the only exception!

was meant more like an FYI for anyone reading, not just you, but if you wanna give it another shot, go for it!

the 2.0 update really is one of the best updates of any large game in recent years ;)

there’s still a bunch of problems with the game, but none that are important enough to keep anyone from playing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m pretty sure that was fixed with 2.0, but i can also remember that being a pain… anyhow: no longer the case!

“steam” isn’t DRM: it supports DRM, but it’s not DRM in itself. it offers the option to devs, and many use it, but it’s entirely optional.

saying steam “is DRM” is misinformation.

cyberpunk keymapping isn’t the best out-of-the-box, but it’s completely customizable…still could be a lot better…

now that i think about it…pretty sure the solarpunk portion is in the second part, Freedom™ (it’s not the focus, more of a background thing)

given that:

lately the buzzwords “techno-anarchism”, “solarpunk”, “trans-humanism” and “urbanism” have been ricocheting around my mind

and the book recs; have you read Daemon, by Daniel Suarez? because that book (and the sequel Freedom™) match exactly those tags! ;)

(well…plus a bit good bot of Cyberpunk, which i’m guessing you don’t mind)

there’s evidence of his views going waaay back, they just rarely reached the mainstream…and now it’s just obvious, so there’s a lot of people genuinely surprised because he used to at least thinly veil his awful views.

but it was always there…

…okay? that wasn’t the question being asked. did you get confused at some point?

like, i agree with what you said, just…what does it have to do with the current state of affairs?

the entire comment chain talks about the past and how capitalism has (supposedly) improved conditions. (since that “improvement” is implied to have already happened by the past tense, we’re talking about the current system. without specifying anything about exactly “who” those conditions have improved for…conveniently)

so i fail to see the connection to (largely) theoretical improvements to capitalism…

i mean…yeah? kinda? on a technicality?

Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

you assert the first part as fact and then kinda skip over the second part…at least that’s how i read your comment.

yes, the copyright owner (the creator) “owns” the work…but then immediately uses said ownership to explicitly allow everyone else to do just about anything with it, short of claiming it as one’s own creation.

you are the best kind of correct, but only that kind.

…those are all significantly worse under capitalism, how does that help the argument?

there’s no contradiction, because the developer does not matter. that’s the entire point of FOSS.

it could be written by a literal nazi (not that there’s a big difference between brown and red fascists) and it wouldn’t matter one bit.

that’s the entire beauty of FOSS!

we ALL own the code.

if Dessalines ever stops developing it, anyone can take over.

if Dessalines implements code the community at large doesn’t like, anyone can create a fork and change that specific part and continue from there.

we can see exactly what the code does, and can create new versions at any point.

that was always the reason behind decentralized, open source networks:

nobody can own it.

you’re entirely right, but…have you met people?

it’s the “dead tone” punctuation:

Hello sunshine. I hope you are doing well and thriving.

vs.:

Hello sunshine! I hope you are doing well and thriving! <3

completely changes the tone! ;)

excellent, that was very helpful! thanks!

thank you, that’s exactly what i wanted to know!

don’t wanna fight, but i do want some clarification:

were they actually warm blooded, or that pseudo warm blooded thing some reptiles and fish do where they aren’t exactly warm ir cold blooded, but kinda in-between?

username is NOT checking out, lmao!
