  • Both games are completely free and without any sort of monetization, I do think he definitely should have linked to the original game and taken it down when the original creator asked, but a fan remaking a game doesn't sound that unusual

    No-one is profiting, no one is losing anything, why does it matter?

  • it seems like the physical limits in the strength of cubes are probably becoming a problem lol

    Those are some pretty beefy motors. Its interesting that they don't have a link to a product page for the motors on the video, as I assume that was the primary justification for the project.

  • it supports translating whole pages currently, its hidden in the hamburger menu though and doesn't support all languages

  • I would argue that the internet is probably the least permanent form of media as anything can instantly disappear at any time. Its interesting to see people suddenly realize the impermanence of the internet and I think it highlights why projects like the internet archive are so important.

  • the deepbump addon has a button to convert normal maps to depth maps, would help with the parallax

  • Overturning precedent in itself is not bad, segregation was court precedent in the past for example. The difference is that the current court leans conservative. Whether the court system should have that power at all is a different question.

  • Really? I would say it has less simple stuff and more complicated stuff, although it obviously has a lot of both.

    I guess you mean that a lot of proprietary 'professional' software doesn't work out of the box? I guess that's true, but I wouldn't call all of the alternatives 'simple' lol

  • Its kind of funny because autocomplete on phones is definitely moving in the direction of using LLMs. Its like it wasn't true when people started saying it, but it will be literally true in a couple of years at most.

  • I agree that these arguments are stupid, but is anyone actually saying we should do those things?

  • I have heard a lot of people criticize specific aspects of the language that they deem to be bad design, especially the type system. Its probably mostly because its popular though.

  • If the internet isn't fun for you, find a community on the internet that you actually enjoy being in. Easier said than done, I know, but the internet is a big place.

  • Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.

  • No, I was wondering about the side of the guardrail facing the canal. If you look closely, there is a metal strip on that side too, which is not something I've seen here in the US. Maybe it's just there to add extra strength? I guess traditional guardrails rely a lot on the guardrail deforming and acting like a net, which might cause a problem when the edge of the canal is so near, IDK

  • Every large social platform has groups of people who hate each other, even lemmy. They just all have ways to keep only showing people the posts from groups they support (through defederation and only looking at specific communities, or twitter/youtube/tiktok/facebook's algorithms, etc)

  • I doubt its ai - I don't think AI would get that guardrail that consistent. It has that little hole in the exact same place over every bar, even the distant ones. Although, why is the guardrail double sided when there's no road on the other side?

    Nevermind, I found it on google maps.

  • I would say the distinction is that lemmy doesn't have a personalized algorithm.

  • IDK, blender.org got DDoS-ed for a while too. It seems like it would take a lot of resources for no possible benefit to anyone involved.

  • I mean you could say the same thing about the whole entertainment industry, or the whole tech industry, or basically anything else that isn't directly necessary for human survival.

    All of them seem way more important than sending more junk into orbit.

    Do you know what actually goes into orbit? Mostly 4 categories: communication satellites (both commercial and governmental), scientific monitoring, ISS support, and military satellites. Every satellite we send into space has a purpose. Without satellites, we don't get: widespread aerial imagery, accurate weather forecasting, GPS, widespread ecological data, etc.

  • Important to point out that a lot of NASA's problems are probably caused by Congress: their attempts to "save money" by re-using designs, the risk of NASA losing funding if any rocket they make fails, their insistence on having NASA support government military contractors, etc

    This is a lot of what is preventing them from taking the rapid prototyping and iterative approach of SpaceX.
