  I guess it depends on where you live. I could imagine that in the US, you as an individual get way less protection than corporations. Where I live, spreading around that you are a criminal, would be itself a criminal offense, unless you are a person of public interest.

  Criminal records have to be provided voluntarily and may not be asked for, if not strictly necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self sacrifice is honorable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where Iive, you have to provide those voluntarily and it is only allowed to ask for it, when you work with sensitive data or in sensitive environments.

  And who is going to know? If you are stupid enough to release the code to your private account, then you might have difficulties to find a new job. Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that there is also value from other clients and from the brand, which is then helping you to actually earn money

  What? As if with global illumination there are no hard shadows. If you walk around when the sun is shining, guess what type of shadow you have? So the solution is to only create levels with few, bright light sources so that hard shadows get cast.

  I doubt that they require bars to stay open until 4 AM. It sounds more like they lifted the mandate to close earlier.

  I am always for less restrictions, so this sounds actually like a good change.

  I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon came up with such an idea in front of all the lead scientists at SpaceX.

  No money or success will make you smarter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is the exact reason why a free base income just increases the prices, devaluates the currency, increasing the inflation rate, making every other currency more expensive. So you only lose.

  People fail to understand that exactly this is the concept of a federation. You only agree on a few things, in this case the software, everything else, however, is fully individual.

  Federation is not the solution here. The only solution that would work is peer to peer - no hosts at all, pure anarchy.

  Interestingly, they’re not doing this on the European site, you can still see all reviews there.

  I wonder why this might be…

  I was mistaken; you are right!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this is in fact true. However, after Portal 2, they kept on working on the engine for CS:GO, Alyx and CS2. That’s why those engines are a bit more modern and add new visual effects and also a lot of new capabilities. They all share “Source 2” as foundation, but I believe each of those games has added enhancements for their use cases. This mod now uses the newest engine of CS2 for Portal 2, which is a jump from 2011 to 2023.

  How ironic…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe they just took Portal 2, put a newer engine under the hood and added a bunch of tools so that people can make mods way easier. One nice side effect is, that it now looks a bit better if you just want to play the campaign.

  Be very careful with MDMA when you are on antidepressants. Can cause something called serotonin syndrome.

  Usually yes, but have you seen how smart Iran is with their propaganda? The know we all (Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas) hate the politicians and oligarchs of the US. And they use this weapon quite successfully. CIA shitting their pants right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way this egg peels in infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t eat the boiled eggs like that. You eat semi-boiled, or 3-minute-eggs like this. They have liquid yolks. And it is very useful to use the shell as a cup. And it is super delicious and is just a different type of egg. Can only recommend it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran attacks Oracle as retribution for sacked employees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate it when bad actors suddenly start doing very good things.

  Kinder Egg, now with a spicy surprise.

  But the problem is shipping that fucker enclosed, because all the logistic chain is going to be a pain in the ass. People dying off quicker than you can replace them.
