That story ends with “and the poor parents were crying”

Over time, it will destroy large parts of the park.

Look I get it. The planet is dying, income inequality, it seems everything is unfair and going to shit. People yearn at an opportunity to help make things better. But yelling for simple solutions is the opposite of helpful. Because there are no simple solutions.

Saying to “just open source it” does not make sense.

What do you do about:

• proprietary codecs
• proprietary software that just does not exist as open source
• the fact you need a copy of the game engine to actually build the game from sources
• assets that have been bought on asset stores. Do the people who make those for a living not have a right to continue to make a living?

Making single player games without always online DRM: yes totally doable

Running game servers of online games forever: not really doable, as soon as all the libraries etc. they depend on are unsupported they will shut down one way or another. You need staff basically forever. Not even mentioning the maintenance headache that every legacy system always turns into.

Letting people run their own dedicated servers: sometimes doable, depends on the game though. Some games do not have “a server” but a whole infrastructure of stuff, look at foxhole. Some “servers” are a house of cards barely held together by duct tape.

This initiative all comes down to the definition of “reasonable”. What is reasonable, actually? Running an infrastructure at a loss until bankruptcy? Or just keeping it online until it starts making a loss.

There is a reason it’s included though. Stuff like fmod, bink video etc. does complicated things that you otherwise need to implement yourself.

Me: I need an AC unit

Mitsubishi: sure!

Me: I would also like an orbital launch system, a forklift, a cruise ship, a main battle tank, an air superiority fighter and a nuclear power plant

Mitsubishi: ur not gonna believe this…

It already comes with many distros and I can’t live without ll="ls -la"

Do you realize we could both look at a red surface, both call it “red”, but for me it may look like blue looks to you? We would never know, because we grew up pointing at something and calling it red.

You are calling it “malformed perception”, but thats exactly my point: ALL perception is malformed. Humans are not capable of perceiving objective reality and the belief that we can is an issue at the root of many of societies problems.

No this is exactly incorrect. We do NOT perceive objective reality. All perception is subjective, and then goes through a further filter of interpretation. If someone says something is blue, there is no guarantee they perceive it the same as someone else. On top of societal pressure itself being able to change perception.

This is why in every scientific endeavor we try to take humans out of its as much as possible.

ITT: people telling other people they’re trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.

I mean that’s pretty easy to build yourself. You can write a super simple web app and on get it displays a message then deletes it from database.

So containers have been standardized for a while now (OCI), and even if you install “docker” it’s actually just installing containerd with docker-cli. For years kubernetes is not even supporting docker-shim anymore. So there should be no issue. What is even the problem you are running into?

Not a mathematician but the way I understand it, is that it merely shows that there are unprovable problems, not that nothing can be proven.

The difference is that if something is proven mathematically it’s 100% certain and will not change. In other sciences you may be taught things that later turn out to be flat out wrong.

Two different frameworks for providing a graphical user interface. X is older.

Taking in refugees is not very popular at the moment.

If you were an alien sensing radio waves a city for you would be the same as a bright day for us: we are used to lots of visible light being scattered around, and the aliens would be used to radio doing the same.

We see in the visible part, yet we are not blinded by all the light.

Its not a myth at all. If a software uses too much RAM it has to be killed because otherwise the OS crashes. You can read more about it here: https://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer
