Well, there is an OpenSource client, and private servers with custom rules. That makes every modification possible.

• 1 coin = $0.012
• 2 coins = 1 Diamond
• 1 Diamond = $0.005

For every $0.024 that TikTok gets, they pay out $0.005, meaning TikTok keeps 80% of it.

With TikTok just skimming 80% off the top of all prize money… 🙄

US company enacting puritanical culture erasure guidelines? What’s new?

If they want their culture preserved, there is peertube and archive.org, but they may have trouble monetizing them.

The problem is that some people are “so copyleft”… that they fall into the MIT honeytrap.

Crazy talk, and you’re onto something… that’s been solved already.

First part: you hate that a 10+ years old game is only getting cosmetic changes instead of a rehaul of the whole character model. That’s crazy, nobody’s going to do that, not the ones expecting a profit, and not the modding community doing it for free. If you feel it’s a silly change, you’re right, but realize that it’s the only change they could do.

You’re onto something: body feature sliders. Male, female, giraffe, and turtle bodies, have some structural differences, that however mostly match to the same bones having different shapes. The solution is a body shape slider, or 50. It’s something that existed, in some games, since at least the 2000s. Others were lazy and didn’t do it.

For reference of how far this could go, the following all have the same bones, only change in shape, size, and muscle placemen:

Games could have multiple protagonists with different bodies, genders, personalities, etc… something like Overwatch did have that, you could even play as a hamster or a robot!

What I’m wondering is, how is a Russia-controlled domain still working, if it’s been banned by Russia?

How is this on a .ru domain?

For me it got fixed in 1.20.0 from May 8, 2024.

Fruit of the poisoned tree. Disney’s “until author’s death + 70 years” copyrights are BS, would be nice if nVidia and all the AI companies were to argue to change that.

2010 was already tainted by the iPhone walled garden.

Windows users call that “installing”… 😈

When was that?

The official F-Droid app had an issue with not deleting downloads on systems that didn’t run it correctly in the background. That has been fixed some months ago.

$2000/year per person, would be $167/year per person. It’s not $0, but sounds like a reasonable amount for anyone except the most marginalized groups

Medical procedures are indeed a problem, but my understanding is their price is artificially inflated due to intermediaries, so taking a harder approach to that, would partially solve the issue, and pave the way for further regulation.

M4A should be the goal, something most 1st World countries have already, but I also understand it would mean upending a lot of industries and their interrelationship in the US, so a step-by-step approach seems like a wise one.

I get that, I’m just trying to understand the difference between /them and /it in that example. I feel like “them” is more generic than “it”, so I feel like “them” would be a better fit in a space where it’s nobody’s business, the same as in a professional setting.

Am I mistaken or missing something?

Moral of the story:

1. Don’t travel to Russia
2. If you have to travel to the US, Russia, China, or any of a number of other countries that will happily invade your privacy at the border, leave your phone behind and carry a burner phone

It sounds to me like limiting spending, and reigning in those predatory intermediaries, would reduce that medical debt in the first place. Or am I missing something?

Question: I tend to use they/them both when I’m unsure of someone’s gender or pronouns, and when gender is irrelevant to a given conversation. Does that also feel like a misgender?

(Disclaimer: I might be biased, because I feel more like agender, which means I’m more comfortable not referencing gender at all)

Why “they/it” instead of also “they/them”?

I was under the impression that “they/them” were the already established pronouns when gender is irrelevant.
