It’s a management decision. Even if the responsible developer left, the next in line would take up the job. We work for a living and there is little choice in ethical companies you can join for adequate pay.

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

I think I was 11 or 12 when I started plaxing Tibia (a very early MMORPG). I really enjoyed it. At some point I found out that somebody has leaked the source code. You could host your own Tibia server. You could create new map segments or introduce new quests by Lua scripting. There was a huge community for “Open Tibia”, hundreds of servers with thousands of players. First, I got into mapping, then I got into scripting and loved it.

All of them at once while saying the words.

Thanks, I didn’t know!

There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google’s and/or Bing’s search results.

Yes, but once code becomes too spaghetti such that a “refactor while you write it” becomes too time intensive and error prone, it’s already too late.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks for your reply :) This grew quite detailed and more thorough than I had expected. But I’m thankful to now have something to read up on. It will take me a while though.

There are two follow-ups:

1. I’d be surprised if there weren’t libraries for the networking parts already. You briefly mentioned there would be for at least data types for the interfacing and wrote that I should instead use my own solution instead for said reasons. Well, are there libraries I can use for networking? What you mentioned sounds very low level.

2. What do you mean with point (3), where the client “should do more” than the server? The server would be authoritative and the client predicting. But, do you mean that the server shouldn’t do so much heavy lifting like working with game physics?

Thanks!

Thanks, didn’t know this

I don’t think the issue is corps feeding the internet into AI systems. The real issue is gatekeeping to information and only giving access to this information while milking the individual for data by trackers, money by subscriptions, and more money by ads (that we pay for with subscriptions).

Another larger issue that I fear is often ignored is the amount of control large corporations and in theory the government can have over us just by looking at our trace we leave in the internet. Just have a look at Russia and China for real world examples of this.

In time they will become better

Think further. Don’t own a phone anymore but only smart glasses.

That’s just a toolbox and in my experience a pretty limited one as well. What OP means is that Gen AI doesn’t connect to your Emails, Photoshop, your IDE, your browser, and what not with text or speech.

Imagine not using your keyboard and mouse anymore, but only using your speech and natural language for everything (not commands, but natural language).

Confidently interfacing with smart glasses would be a game changer for so many things.

Some things you also shouldn’t parameterize for the sake of overview and intuitiveness in understand.

Yes, exactly. I don’t understand their need for content on a site. Shouldn’t it be enough from their point of view to have a as most sites as possible integrating their ads? Why bother about the content?

Crazy. And their algorithm for that is probably also not transparent.

Great article on Google Adsense :) I accidentally clicked on one of the ads. Enjoy the extra penny.

Oh world, that itching in my fingers! Some FOSS client for android that you can recommend?
