I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone

They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
Freedom sometimes has to be enforced

This is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”

It is against the spirit of FOSS

I know. The world runs on duct-tape

I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further

I might be wrong, though

I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.

There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?

Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

And as usual, that is not where the costs should be cut. Even with the current relegation of platform (I mean running mission-critical machines in cloud). I wouldn’t trust that company to be their customer if I knew they operate like that

Picture a semi-governmental company

Also, relying on 30-day license that has to be refreshed on monthly basis, now with personal emails, is a sev1 waiting to happen. Very unmaintainable

And if someone from That Company is reading this: you still have time to do the right thing. You’ve got the rocket science down. Now try ethics.

🤷 then maybe OP’s browser has a problem with the challenge for some reason?

When I open slrpnk, a page flashes before. I think it’s something like cloudflare but something else. I have no idea how to find out what it is, it redirects very fast. Maybe your IP got marked by that service?

EDIT: found it. Maybe try reaching out to slrpnk admins?

When a building needs maintenance bad enough that it doesn’t pass a set of regulations, it will get closed until fixed. Maybe we need something like that for IT infrastructure

This is all fine by me but
2025-98 = 1927
1945-1927 = 18
1939-1927 = 12
🤨

I would not be surprised if in a month it turns out a bunch of those don’t match with the crimes

When catching up with hardware performance for Linux gaming, I always browse phoronix, try to find a few comparisons from different years to see how the card looked like in comparison to other options. There might be some sleepers now no-one remembers about, that you magically have an option to buy. Think which game in the comparisons might have similar requirements to what you want to play and see how the card/cpu did on the settings you find agreeable/non-agreeable/perfect

Don’t go into its forum, though. There be dragons

Maybe recently it started to change with NVIDIA opening their drivers but for years we’ve been second class citizens for them. Personally I say “fuck NVIDIA”

If you decide to go AMD, definitely explore the landscape of fan controllers. I use corectl but maybe you would prefer something else (this is Arch wiki, but should be fine for other distros too)

management / factory games like workers and resources

Maybe Frostpunk would be up your alley?

Re 2

The GM sets a stress cost when you activate a flashback action.

0 Stress: An ordinary action for which you had easy opportunity. Consorting with a friend to agree to arrive at the dice game ahead of time, to suddenly spring out as a surprise ally.
1 Stress: A complex action or unlikely opportunity. Finessing your pistols into a hiding spot near the card table so you could retrieve them after the pat-down at the front door.
2 (or more) Stress: An elaborate action that involved special opportunities or contingencies. Having already Studied the history of the property and learned of a ghost that is known to haunt its ancient canal dock—a ghost that can be compelled to reveal the location of the hidden vault.

EDIT:

1. Yes. Also, the way we were playing, I was sometimes offering options

   you can approach it from wreck but then the question is if it won’t make too much noise. lower position and higher effect or do a precision karate chop with finesse which will for sure drop them quitely higher position and lower effect

2. Any action can lead to stress via resisting consequences, so even if GM decides the flashback is worth 0, it can still happen
   From what I see in that SRD, the only limit to Flashback is supposed to be the narration. As in, it can’t change what has already been said. But it can change it into I bribed him earlier and that’s how he is puling us out of trouble

I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox

Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight

I’ve found Shadowrun trilogy fun

Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
Fallout 1&2

I don’t know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too

It’s not about caring. It’s about what gets done

What is it that you don’t understand?
