I think it is sort of sad that people took this as “valued by your employer”. Not sad for them specifically, but for the state of things. I am sure y’all are valued by your friends and family.

I was about to say “no” but saw your comment. If I am not sure about buying a game, seeing it was made with Godot makes me want to buy it. I am not a game developer but I support Foss and just love how good and clean Godot is.

An olive tree. They look cool and I don’t want any amount of consciousness.

This game hits hard.

The only way I can see forward is regulation. Antitrust laws have been suspended for too long. They have to be enforced, and interoperable standards must be fiercely enforced, without loopholes, without exceptions. If leaving Facebook for another social media platform does not have to mean you’ll lose all your connections, thanks to interoperable standards, it will be easier for people to ditch them and harder for them to become monopolies.

Even though he new exactly what they would do beforehand. Being all-knowing.

If I have a lot of rich friends who need IT support and I get exclusive deals with them, making it impossible for experts like you to get freelance deals, and practically force you to work for me for a wage, that’s capitalism. I don’t know anything about IT. I get all the contracts thanks to my connections. You do the job and get a fraction of what you would have gotten if you were able to freelance.

I use Zoraxy and it is great if you like GUIs.

This is dystopian beyond Black Mirror and disturbingly real at the same time.

Same.

Yes. And always will.

That’s not finger paint. That’s Balenciaga.

I think I am mistaken…

No, no! They are “replanting themselves and their families”.

Scat fetish means you like scat singing, right? scatman

Iam not sspecifically talking about this example and I am not trying to imply this tissue has any sort of consciousness but if “foundational research” means “man made horrors beyond my comprehension” maybe we need to find another way, and if we cannot, maybe we just shouldn’t torture conscious beings in the name of science and progress.

That actual owl looks like a cubist rendition of an owl.

Yes, but no.

As you’re well aware, no telescope on Earth can see the leftover descent stages of the Apollo Lunar Modules or anything else Apollo-related. Not even the Hubble Space Telescope can discern evidence of the Apollo landings. The laws of optics define its limits.
