Yeah, and these mods were so good that they became their own games.

If you want to do that, you’re a game developer. So license (or develop) an engine, and also pay for all the non-permissively licensed other code you use.

Congratulations, you’re now on a solid base for charging money for your game.

Big if true

Me choosing to mention the name and not the photo doesn’t make me a clanker.

That being said, she uses the same photo on her 5 picture Instagram account, which also shows an article she wrote that contains the same photo again!

So very likely that she isn’t a person, but some GenAI driven sock puppet account.

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

piss on this guy

was the assumption that I questioned with my comment. I didn’t assume anything myself.

That’s incorrect because in order to lie, one must know that they’re not saying the truth.

LLMs don’t lie, they bullshit.

“Amira” is a pretty female sounding name

Not if you interpret it as “sufficient but not necessary”.

anyone I’m into is a woman, but there are also women in not into

Set theory yo

Our AVR (audio video receiver, aka home theater amplifier) can be turned on via home assistant.

Felt magical the first time I turned it on by clicking a button.

The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven’t seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)

Sorry, I’m not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn’t up for debate. As far as I understand, it’s a well-settled fact. Read the article!

The big bang didn’t happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/

The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it’s not spherical. It’s either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn’t imply an edge). I personally believe it’s infinite and not repeating.

No, there’s no center and no edge, the big bang happened everywhere at once. The universe might be finite, but only in the sense that it’s looping back on itself, not in the sense that it can possibly be a sphere (which has both center and edge). So your mental model of an explosion in 3D space doesn’t fit: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/

Metaphors like this at helpful for approaching understanding, but you can’t extrapolate from them. There was no 3D space in which the big bang occurred, “nothing” is not the same as “a patch of vacuum in spacetime”. An explosion doesn’t start as dimensionless singularity, it starts with the matter that explodes. And so on.

That’s pretty cool sci-fi!

Earth is fine, it’s seen worse than humanity. Geology doesn’t care about what biology does.

There’s also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.

Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there’s no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.

I like the heading styles! The tildes are unusual but the reasoning is sound!

Why do you prefer wasting everyone’s bandwidth with the shitty 30 year old JPEG image format when every browser and every actively developed image viewer/editor supports WebP?

Even lossless WebP is a bit better than PNG, but compared to JPEG, there’s just no question.

Now you’re just making things up.

I think the “controversy” is just tribalism. I’ve never once witnessed a case of any of the negative adjectives thrown at the Rust community. They’ve always taken exceedingly fair and good-faith approaches to discussing any critique of the language.

Their snark is reserved for the weird “anti-woke” crowd that hates Rust for some reason.

I just use nushell’s builtins instead of wrangling with IFS and bash idiosyncrasies. It’s been years since I’ve corrupted data by parsing text wrong.

But even if someone doesn’t want that: apart from using it in legacy scripts, grep is just a strictly less useful ripgrep these days, no?
