  • Thanks for the correction! I updated my comment to mention it.

  • I mean, the poll was like as not a publicity stunt, to draw attention to the fact DDG is not doing AI. All the same, the fact they are making "no AI" a selling point is noteworthy.

    EDIT: I stand corrected -- apparently DDG does do AI presently. Hopefully they're serious about reconsidering that, then.

  • The GPLv4 idea is interesting and I would like to see it happen. However, I'm not sure how it would apply in practice. What's to keep that kind of company from rejecting the license and still train proprietary models on your code under fair use claims like they're already doing?

  • I know. Mine is the hardcover with the two ink colors, bound in leather with two snakes biting each other's tails embossed on the cover.

    But that is another story, and shall be told another time.

  • Golden-eyed Commander of Wishes

    Oh, I see someone knows their classics.

  • Fair point. XD

  • There are a fair few countries with amazing food, yeah. Italy, to start with, without even leaving Europe, and yeah, I'm a huge fan of India and much of China in that respect too, particularly Sichuan cuisine.

    This thread was however about France specifically, and your comment reads like a fairly gauche non-sequitur.

  • Sorry to disappoint. :) France really has had fashy inclinations for a long time, if we're being honest. A lot more people were plenty happy to have the Germans over in the 40s than pop media created afterward tended to willingly show. For some reason.

    The food genuinely is great though.

    There's no such thing as a utopia but there are definitely some countries that have their shit more closely together than others. So don't lose hope!

  • A ticket tracker and a wiki!

    Else all the institutional knowledge about your software that your users are adding too vanishes forever into a black box. And that'd be a dang pity

  • Alas, the same forces are at play in France too, they're just meeting a less favorable pre-existing terrain. But the billionaire-owned media have been carpet bombing the country with the message that holding the executive accountable is dictatorship, and Sarkozy is innocent and basically a saint, and this is all a conspiracy by the far-left judiciary, etc

    And most people don't know better because knowing better takes exhausting amounts of paying attention, and little by little, the messaging is working.

  • Hey, it's okay, friend, not every game has to be for everyone and that's fine.

    What worked for me, I guess, was to not approach it in terms of a game where I'm trying to make progress, so much as a vast place with a lot of mysteries that all actually make sense once you work it out; and that happens naturally if you let your curiosity drive you. You will, in fact, be making progress; you just won't realize it until the pieces fall into plane and, all at once, you know.

  • OUTER WILDS! If you've played it, you know why. (If you haven't, do not ask. Play it.)

  • Sandy updates never fail to spark joy. :)

  • Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?

    EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.

  • God I sure hope so. This is the only life I've got.

  • Only if you think someone's position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in "straights" by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.

  • Maybe Macron should start selecting ministers from the parties that actually won the elections, for a change. If not getting his governments toppled repeatedly is the goal, that'd be a good start.

  • Mint is just perfectly fine, don't listen to the naysayers.

    As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it's there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it's there, and it works.

  • Nah, that's valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that's highly subjective. I hope you're finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!
