Six years ago the entire Linux enthusiast space was super excited for the PinePhone, then everything fell apart. What went wrong? Was PINE64's favoritism towards Manjaro the sole issue or were there other problems?

Is there a third party client for kick? by weirdo_from_space in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Ninth circle of hell. It's a streaming platform that's infamous for basically never banning anyone, so it attracted all sorts of sketchy or downright evil folk.

Given that no one makes a fuss about it when corporations do the stealing, I think so.

There are no consequences for the leadership when they fuck up.

15 years? What about 80 years? There are movies from the 40s that are still under copyright.

See, this is why the liveservice model is fundementally bad. Even if they don't fuck it up on launch, they can always fuck it up later.

Stick to offline folks.

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a try. It is one of the most creative games I have ever played and is now one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. This game is the game that made me take visual novels seriously. Before this I just though they were all typical, anime-esque romance stuff. I want to try more of this stuff.

There is actually a fantastic video essay about Gamestop bros by Folding Ideas (the guy who made Line Goes Up) called "This is financial advise". I highly recommend listening to it, the whole thing turned out to be way more complicated than it seemed.

My hope would be that this encourages open source engine usage but it'll probably simply make Unreal Engine more popular instead.

Western recommendations from the silent era? (sh.itjust.works)

I've started watching Westerns lately. I've watched the first hour of The Outlaw Josey Wales, very good stuff. So I have some sound films my list like Stagecoach, Searchers, Once Upon a Time in West, Lawman and Dodge City; but what about the silent era? I've only seen The Great Train Robbery from that part, what else would you recommend?

I think I have lost a piece of my soul upon hearing Owen Dennis is the one working on it. From Infinity Train to this...
