It's so common there's an XKCD about it.

Scope creep. The developer keep adding features to the game, including a whole new game type. The game is twice as big as it was before the update.

He's also developing the game solo, with little help from a couple volunteers. I'm not sure why he refuses to hire people.

Is it because of the offset between the main packages and the AUR? Man, that's such a bad decision.

Edit: they seem to be using yay as the package manager.

I haven't played modded Minecraft in a while but i wanna get back on it. Do you have any recommendations for recent mod packs?

(i ask you because you have the Prism launcher open)

Fusion360 is for CAD, people use it for designing mechanical parts. It has features like simulation, generative design, shape optimization, additive manufacturing design, etc. It is a really complete software for what it does, and that's why it is a shame that the price increased so much.

For art, you should try Blender. It's widely used and libre software!

Honestly, i haven't seen much people arguing about politics on Mastodon. It is a very nice place in that sense.

Thanks for your answer. The battery and Bluetooth issues are certainly a deal-breaker, I guess I'll look somewhere else 😅

What do you hate about the P7? I was planning to get one, but you made me doubt.

I think they meant the DDG android browser.

No matter how much i increase the brightness, there's no face. Only void.

From their own post in this very community, lmao.

Edit: oh, the post refers to the number of upvotes.

Since you mentioned the Frankenstein Complex, i guess you're familiar with the worka of Isaac Asimov. If not, I suggest you read the short stories in the MULTIVAC series, as they describe a future where a supercomputer with predictive capabilites 'rules' the world.

My personal recommendation is 'The Evitable Conflict', which doesn't mention the MULTIVAC but describes similar machines. It also portrays a future that, depending on your poiny of view can be utopic or dystopic.

but why

I thought it was technically still in development.

My knowledge on the subject is limited but from what i understand, HURD is a project that seeks to bulld a microkernel based replacement for the UNIX kernel. Contrasting with the Linux kernel, which serves the same purpose but is monolithic.

The difference between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel is that the first runs all the kernel services that compose the operating system. Whereas in the later, the kernel runs only the most essential services and rest are implemented by servers. At least theory, this makes the system more adaptable, modular, and robust.

I think it's pretty similar to the Systemd vs minimalistic init systems debate. Systemd does it all, but by doing so, it could limit your choices on the software you wanna use for each task. Also, since it has a lot of features, there are some that you'll never use, which is why some people consider it bloated.

Init systems like Runit seek to solve this by just being init systems, nothing else. Other tasks are handled by other programs that are similarly designed for just that one task.

Personally, I'm in the "systemd and the monolithic Linux kernel are great" team, but it's just a matter of preference ¯(ツ)/¯.

Damn, this makes me worried for the future of LLaMA.

It is basically the default in most latam countries.
