I just like element-based levels in video games. Even water levels. Some even can present some time-based challenges, like saving a nuclear reactor from meltdown, or retrieving something from an area like that.
Yes, but the Fediverse is only one part of the equation, and has its own pitfalls.
Free and open source software could overtake the proprietary software market in theory, but in practice it often fails since many FOSS projects are made for developers by other developers, most of who tend to be power users. And the average user needs ease of use, and easily accessible common functions, not a lightweight command-line interface with scripting.
Even then, things like games and other stuff might only will be partially FOSS, like engines and frameworks, the rest being behind a paywall. However, I think people should experiment with what I call "open source universes", which is basically creating shared universes that are open source. Maybe even make some open source RPG system with it too, so we could have an open source alternative to the likes of D&D, WH40k, etc. At one point I tried to make something like this, but the issue was that it was based on an old webcomic idea of mine, which I started working on when I had totally different views on many things. Might revisit it with different ideas later on.
Open source hardware will be a really hard uphill battle, with a large issue coming from closed-source drivers (Thanks ARM and nVidia!), cost and difficulty of manufacturing silicon, etc.
I wanted to be a musician, but instruments were expensive.
Now I'm a software developer, and depakene killed my rhythm sense and absolute pitch, so best I can do is put together some demo that underrepresents the capabilities of my software synthesizers. (I really need to switch anti-seizure medications, as it also acts as an ADHD worsener, a sleep worsener (melatonin does negate it for the most part, except for the harder wake-up times), and an anti-psychiatry argument (it's also a mood stabilizer, which I don't need), but I don't have money for private doctors, public healthcare in our country only exists as a last resort and a show case)
Likely what happened is writers are seeing what a mess AI generated art is, so they're letting the industry to have this as it might end up in a quite bad for them.
She's a special case. Her parents were also an interesting case, likely the source of many bad things.
I knew a Japanese VTuber who was actually diagnosed with autism, except it seems she pretty much rebelled against her diagnosis after a year or so, now is the opposite because she's "growing up for once", which is sad as she originally was way more rebellious, even anti-corporate at times. Went from kinda anti-Musk to pro-Musk, all while people were harassing her on Twitter thanks to now non-existent moderation. She either acquired some really bad influence as friends, or want to crawl back to another.
some person, who at least knows what socialism is, even if they're not the most well-read in the subject,
some way better read one, but thinks state control of enterprises suffice and trusts the state way too much as long as it has hammers and sickles,
some capitalism fan, who thinks socialism is evil, and that constructon company CEOs are workers, but underpaid office workers are "elites".
Rarely you get a very well read one, who understands their stuff, or the old Soviet bloc ex-communist, who switched because the local far-right party started to be very concerned about "work morals", and also think the construction company CEO is a worker and "against the elite".
This is pretty common in Hungary. One old homeowner doesn't want to pay the reconstruction fees, because they either won't live for so long, or doesn't think it would help and/or a good idea. One such case ended up in having to call the cops on an old man after he got so angry at the others for wanting to replace his beloved gas convectors with central heating instead, that he attacked the others and screamed constantly while being pinned down until the cops arrived. Others just really surprised why this is needed as "Viktor Orbán is getting cheap gas for us" (only in propaganda, but since Orbán's best friends own 80-90% of the media, none of them hear about it).
I found LMMS, which is perfectly fine for playing around with music. Lacks a few features though unfortunately, like recording at the moment. Not open source, but I also use Reaper, mainly to test MIDI stuff of my game engine through a loopback port on Windows (I'm a crazy person, and I wrote software synthesizers for my game engine).
