Twinsen’s Quest (Little Big Adventure 1 reamke) and Fallout London.
Twinsen’s quest is great, but… it has a lot of bugs that need fixing, the subtitles don’t always match up to what is being said and in some places there is no indication of what needs to be done leaving the player (me) feeling and being stuck.
Fallout London is great but for some reason in some areas it just… crashes to the desktop without so much as a warning, just closes completely.

- Comment on Say it again, Dexter 1 day ago:
Badically the premise of the episode is that he built a machine to learn french but he used a cassette tape or something that can get stuck/skip in the machine and it’s suppose to work over night when you’re asleep. Wouldn’t you know it it got stuck/skipped so it just repeated “Omelette du fromage”, so when he awakes that is all he can say.

Cue tech obsessive trying to defend or deflect from LLMs etc and their problems in 5…

I believe Summer Eternal is a Consumer co-op, isn’t it? Or if not looks very like it.
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 6 days ago:
Will it? All I have seen is that self driving cars will decide to kill people because they cannot make decisions about life in a way that preserves it.
Maybe in like 1000 years plus they moght become good enough but by that time the conditions that make cars a necessity would be no more or at least severly reduced.

Violence is a tool nd like many tools it must be used correctly and at the right times. However, it’s also not the only tool in the toolbox in which there are many.
Yes, that is a fair point.

No worries! Hope you feel better soon!

Disagree that violence doesn’t work, especially organised.
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 1 week ago:
I meant the self driving ones. Apologies for not clarifying.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
yup.

Sure, but if they are allowed…
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 1 week ago:
Destroy the cars. That’s what should be done about it.

Ew. No thanks.

If you’d like to say, what is that?
- Comment on Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web 1 week ago:
Not surprised honestly, they were always a poorly run organisation that needed to go more worker owned co-op but got run like a tech startup instead.

Yes, but we forget it right now. We will look and come back with an edit.

Not sure this particular one would even apply to Don’t Dead Open Inside. It barely meets the mark.

Feels more ‘don’t dead open inside’ than ‘aneurysm posting’

That’s fair, you don’t have to know.
Also just to let you know, using ‘blind’ like that is ableist. It’s better to use something like “ignorant” or “not knowing/lacking knowledge” etc.
- Comment on History's Major Downtimes: Lessons from the Biggest Outages 4 weeks ago:
No, but this is why we think centralising the operations of the internet isn’t a good idea. The web was meant to be decentralised and federated, yet it has become centralised and has mostly a few walled gardens.
The fediverse and matrix etc may not be perfect, but technically they are some of the better ideas in terms of ensuring if one server or even quite a few servers go down the whole of a network/service doesn’t.

I dunno, both ways of reading it make sense to us.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 - Teaser Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, sadly that is what teaser trailers do.
I do trust them to make it good based on their previous work.

- Comment on Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears 5 weeks ago:
All I am saying is that if the goal is to get people to use open source software (which it seems like this post is about and a lot of the discussions are too) then developers would need to make things which worked for people and listen to their feedback.
If that is not the goal and folks in this thread are happy for people to continue to use closed source software because it has more funding and thus better UI/UX, or just it is more in their interests to make things that appeal to people regardless of funding then that that is okay.
However, there seems to be a ideology where people evangalise open source software to folks yet ignore all of their flaws and tell them not to use closed source software that just looks and works better.
So either we can have things that work for people, or we can have open source but not both all of the time because either open source devs cannot afford to make it so (which is understandable) or do not wish to.
This is the main point of contention I have been trying to get at but have not been putting very well until now.
- Comment on Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears 5 weeks ago:
No, that isn’t really what I’m talking about.
Sure, code quality matters.
I’m talking about things like mastodon trying to push a certain outlook upon its users just because the main dev thinks they should be using it a certain way, and hating how people actually use it.
