Some indie devs have really bad takes on the Stop Killing Games thing, sheesh
"How am I going to comply if I make an MMO as a solo indie??"
Well 1. I have bad news for your odds of making an MMO lmao and 2. why are you so concerned that dropping the non 3rd party proprietary parts of your source code into a repository somewhere with a no-warranty license would bankrupt you? 🙄
Hate to say it but running a live service game already requires putting on the big boy pants and if you're not ready for something as mild as "please have a sunsetting plan" then you're definitely not ready for the realities of running a live service game
Plurality; silly
The plural urge to refer to your own system as "[hostname] et al".
Somebody studied A2-level psychology, and now it's EVERYBODY'S PROBLEM 🤣
(The last bit is referencing this, if you don't recognise it.)
@elilla My favourite thing when I visit another area is listen to the fauna (and rarely some flora sounds too!) I love the unique sounds different areas make and how they differ and match over geographic spreads. I would love to hear cicadas in real life, never had the privilege to. I love it when the crickets make noise outside my window in late summer early autumn though.
#AskFedi: I'm looking for games with similarly satisfying building and management mechanics to Project Hospital and Airport CEO. :boost_requested:
Please only reply if you've actually played either of these games; this is not a genre question, it's about the *feel* of the games!
Anyone is welcome to boost, though - and it's much appreciated, these are obscure games and so it'll probably be difficult to find folks who have played them!
"CC signals" is so out of touch its embarrassing
context: https://creativecommons.org/ai-and-the-commons/cc-signals/
POINT OF CLARITY EDIT: the CC licenses are the same as they always have been. The "signals" thing is an unrelated proposed alternative to robots.txt for scrapists to continue to ignore.
@luckytran Also normalize wearing a mask when YOU are sick. I first had this explained to me in Japan in the early 90s when I was traveling there on business frequently. This is such a sensible and prosocial practice.
@davidrevoy @creativecommons from the 4 proposed signals (credit, direct contribution, ecosystem contribution and open), none of them is about forbidding the usage of the assets to train AI😬

@StroomAfwaarts @joepie91 Doesn't have to be "a standing thing". For example, I have trapkast, which I guess is technically more like a small room. Even has the same kind of door as the other rooms in the house.
@joepie91 Or even kastje, the universal word for something that does something and is roughly box shaped - or not.
Please do not bother responding with things like "you can probably find a broken Pixel for under $100 and then repair it" because then you really have not understood the assignment, and this is completely unrealistic for poorer folks in particular
rowling, actionable (3), PSA
And of course the usual personal safety PSA, for those who need it: you don't post about doing crimes on the internet.
If you want to draw attention to some kind of illegal action, then *at most* you have observed that the action has taken place, by some unknown individual at some unknown time, and are sharing that information with the world. But you were definitely not involved, because that would be posting crimes.
rowling, actionable (2)
Of course I'll leave the nature of said 'hassle' undefined, I'm sure you can all come up with some creative ideas!
rowling, actionable
@joepie91 this already happened to glinner and it can happen to her too, easily
rowling, actionable
@joepie91 This seems to have worked with Unique Vintage a couple years back. They got tons of, "super disappointed to see you all supporting hate, I won't be shopping here anymore" public comments and then all the stuff was just gone from the site in a week or two.
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
