Not a gamer* but as an open source participant IRC is the main chat room technology my distro uses. All of the conversations are easily archivable and searchable due to the pure text format. Main devs can use tools like quassel to make sure they never miss an @.
*multiplayer gamer. I do play single player games.

Tech debt is like a hole in your roof that many teams don’t start trying to fix until water is flooding in. Companies missing the business value in addressing tech debt leads to perverse incentives for developers where they are encouraged to cram new features into the product and then leave for another job in 2-3 years before the consequences come knocking.
I was talking to that guy on IRC yesterday. He was saying he still stands by his defence of Kovid in that thread. The people asking for the change were not submitting patches, just demanding that he undertake a multi-year porting effort because they wanted him to. Ultimately it did end up being ported to py3 and the process did take several years in the end.
Is Goyal still trying to maintain python 2 by himself? That thread was very funny a few years ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1714107
Yes, it would seem like a missed opportunity if they returned to their usual formula via a character swap system or something.
Although now I’m imagining a situation where it worked like GTA 5 and you dropped in on Link as he takes his 5th sword swing at a chicken…
Depends how interested you are in the infrastructure I suppose. Obviously it’s not essential for any project. I see a few that have both self hosted resources and additionally a Github mirror.
An advantage to the “old school” approach is that you don’t end up tied into a large SAAS platform like Github.
A server hosting a copy of the repo, git send-email, a mailing list and a bugzilla instance is all that an open source project really needs.
The advantage of github/gitlab et al. is that it merges all of the above functionality to one place, however it’s not absolutely essential. Git itself is extremely versatile and can be as useful as you are want it to be if you put in the time to learn it.
lol we used to call it Buttbucket at my old work where we used it. Should be a relatively easy product to deliver but Atlassian just couldn’t keep it up and bug free
I heard that the SWOLED was going to be a hardware upgrade too but they pared it back due to covid. Apparently the screen cost nintendo an extra $10 to manufacture.
It’s more like a quality control thing I guess. Generated content is going to be derivitive by its nature so banning it internally is forcing the devs to be creative.
I thought the base game was a flawed gem. Should say that I’m a big Symphony of the Night fan though.
At last!
This is the main development path for most distros - Debian, Gentoo, etc.
Issues are tracked on bugzilla and then the patch is sent to the developer mailing list citing the bug ticket with git send-email. Not sure about Debian but in the case of Gentoo they accept contributions via their git mirror and email. The developers keep both in sync so that new contributors (who likely use github) are encouraged but more established users can stick to the mailing list.
Popularity boost due to being marketed/published by a popular youtuber. The game is very good though! I was initially put off by the publisher due to being wary of it being a gimmick but picked it up after the reviews landed.
I still disagree with you but thanks for posting an explanation
This is a wild take. The politics of the game - to the extent that it exists at all - are skeptical about office desk jobs and large supermarket chains. It is even hard to even take those elements too seriously because they entire presentation is so whimsical.
Do all games need to be overtly leftist in order to not be conservative?
In GNU coreutils the implementation of rm doesn’t allocate memory however I believe alternative implementations do.
Here’s an example from the OpenBSD source code - https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/222e275fb89ffb67abe0726dee2b107220092dc3/bin/rm/rm.c#L335
Presumably other *BSDs use something similar? Didn’t check out FreeBSD or anything.
Edit: So I suppose if you are using a BSD-type system (maybe including macOS?), and memory safety was important to you (to the point of extreme paranoia), then you might want to look into this rust project. Or just use the GNU implementation.
I had it on an old thinkpad for years but swapped back to Debian on there recently. It’s a neat OS for hobbyists but the desktop experience is rough around the edges.
It’s similar to how linux used to be 15 years ago in terms of software compatibility.
One positive thing about it is that the source code for their corelibs is beautiful (!) GNU corelibs have been optimized to within an inch of their life to make them as fast as possible at the cost of legibility.
Yeah during lockdown I spent a lot of time visiting my sister’s village when she was living on the other side of the world in Australia
