  • Do you indend to share the code and files for your game? If not then put it where you like. If you plan to share the code then I'd be tempted to keep the license for that code in a folder with it, and move that readme to it.

  • own forever

    Ownership implies control - being able to maintain/repair, modify or even resell.

    To be in control of software you need access to it's source code, and have the right to share changes with others.

  • Doing it consistently seems difficult.

  • As long as you follow the GPL license you can redistribute it, for free or at cost. Linux is mostly free as in freedom and usually free as in free beer.

    Wikipedia says ElementaryOS has a pay what you want model. So if your image is from them then you don't have to pay (a 3rd party is free to charge you for it - bandwidth ain't free).

  • Given it's unrepresentative voting system I think how much is enough to be a democracy. T hot take for people that see democracy. Two parties to choose from is just one more than a clear dictatorship. If neither actually represents you then yeah it's not healthy .

  • Who the hell is the manufacture to decide if a remote feature no longer functions? (I'm guessing people don't rent these devices from Amazon - it's your property).

    I don't need your concent, it's in your best interests - Amazon

  • I watched a talk regarding a pacemaker/defibrillator incorrectly shocking a woman because she was an edge case (being younger and pregnant). She sought help from doctors who, as you may guess, knew nothing about the software. The manufactures ghosted her when asked for information, let alone source code. Some of them are wireless, vulnerable to attack. Being in control of any software running inside our bodies is an important issue to consider.

  • I hope no software is involved.

    software update is available, heart will be restarting now

  • AMD made an open source driver for HDMI 2.1 but HDMI forum won't approve. They locked down the specification for 2.1 and say the driver would reveal it.

    I don't know if an earlier version can do 8k@60HD.

  • Freeing old game software is better that never doing it, so that's worthy of praise. I hope this becomes a trend that other companies try to one-up each other on.

  • I think that refers to lithium ion batteries. Some EVs use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) which can still can catch fire but can be starved of oxygen. Sadly it is heavier but it is made without the immorally sourced cobalt.

  • We may be able to tell with great confidence what you're thinking or feeling but not how it feels to you. There's a subjective, 1st person experience. Something that it's like to be you which is different from me. I can't tell what it's like to be someone else, or be another animal, or if it means anything to be a rock.

  • I see what you mean. By that definition of engineer then I would agree.

    We could perhaps engineer androids that mimic us so well that to damage them would feel to us like hurting a human. I would feel compelled to take the risk of caring for an unfeeling simulation just in case they were actually able to suffer or flourish.

  • I thought that's what was ment by privacy of consciousness and agree that's how it is.

    However, being unable to inspect if something has a consciousness doesn't mean we can't create a being which does. We would be unaware if we actually succeeded, or if it even happened unintentionally with some other goal in mind.

    Got an old Cisco enterprise modem/router. Anything fun I can use it for at home?
