There are rights and responsibilities associated with a proprietary model… and IMO you (and your permissive government) should not be overriding those rights for your own short-sighted benefit.

Kind of sounds like you misunderstood the initiative to be honest. This only affects games which have been abandoned by the developer, the proprietary model stays perfectly intact as long as you actually keep selling your games.

Not familiar enough with this particular project to know, but a quick glance at the commit log shows some overlap in commit authors, so I guess there is at least some level of sharing happening, probably just not through merges.

But being familiar with this kind of project in general, the branches will probably never be fully merged even in the future, just doesn’t make much sense because they are server software targeting very different versions of a game client. There are also two other branches, but they “only” diverged by like one or two thousand commits so far.

Meh, essentially it’s just writing “Telecommunicationsourcesurveillance” as a single word without the spaces to indicate it’s a singular thing being referred to (in this case the concept of directly listening on the source device before encryption happens). Might seem weird I guess, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

It means “telecommunication source surveillance”.

Well I for one (not GP) am actually quite glad that it is literally illegal to publicly display here in Germany, especially with the current political climate going on here and elsewhere. You want to just out yourself as a Nazi? Okay, off to prison you go. That’s good. AFAIK there are exemptions for temples and such, e.g. for artistic uses like Games, some Wolfenstein games replaced swastikas in the German release because nobody was sure if that’s legal.

I don’t think it is actually illegal to display in any country that has a lot of people using it religiously, but yeah it’s a sad fact that it still has to be illegal in so many places such a long time later.

I guess he means cruel as opposed to “accidental”. He’s trying to make clear that it happens deliberately.

Hmm, the thumbnail change doesn’t seem to have federated to lemmy.ml or other instances (so far at least), but it shows on lemmy.ca. Interesting. Thanks for updating it.

Besides the cross-posts there is another discussion in
!world@lemmy.world (this link should take you to the community in your app/website):

about the link to the Reuters video: https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW057230042025RP1/

I see the Reuters video has already been posted to this community, so I’ll refrain from cross-posting the Guardian article here as well. @engene@lemmy.ca if you edit the post and set the following as “Thumbnail URL” it will show up in the websites/apps better: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/e439f142-4f5c-475a-b1b0-d0ee102de6f7.jpeg

Must be some setting on your end, I’m getting offered translations on that page as well (stable release).

Two things I could think of, either you haven’t set it to always offer translations or your browser is set to simplified Chinese.

Another thing, you can select some text, right-click the selection, and there will be a translation option there. After you used that there will be a button for “translate the whole page” in the translation popup.

Oh also you can download more languages through the settings (general settings page, right below browser language).

I see you there random Krita user! Shill baby, shill!

Isn’t Karma essentially just the delta between upvotes and downvotes you get with some sort of weighting thrown in?

Because you can very much get that delta on here, it just isn’t visible in the default Lemmy interface. If you look at your account through an Mbin frontend for example you can see the “Reputation points” value in the sidebar: https://fedia.io/u/@wittycomputer@feddit.org

Know what you mean, would probably be a worthwhile feature request to make on the bug tracker.

I’m gonna be real with you, I don’t know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this… Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.

Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.

So… “man doesn’t exploit man”? Sounds good!

I see you figured it out. Will add an explanation to my post as well, if you hadn’t deleted your reply I would have answered that instead. :)

You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.

Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:

1. Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your “tiling zones” on your monitors.
2. Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the “tiling zones” you set up.

Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it’s a pretty cool feature.
