Oh yeah, because when I see Egyptian hieroglyphs, I think sexy beasts.

The point is not the anthropomorphism. The point is related tothe deliberate sexual undertone. And I’m not even a prude. I don’t care much about what people prefer. It’s just that the Internet broke us.

It’s like the word “cuck” (ugh.) A scholar may use it in the utmost right context, and yet, all that word does is infuriate me because of the overuse the The_Donald crowd gave to it.

it doesn’t look horny to me. She’s just woman-shaped to me.

An animal. Shaped as a fit, sexy woman. Shared on Lemmy. Yeah, not horny. Sure.

Are capybaras docile to humans?

It’s not really that bad. Start from the end to see which ones are still existing today.

But yeah, it would be nice if that last column indicated the level of popularity somehow.

Arch and chat gpt.

Try Mint next time.

“Hey Mr coffee barista, can you break this $20 in two $10 for me? Thanks!”

Bam. Untraceable.

You don’t own anything if it’s hosted in the cloud. Download and archive.

Well, are you in pro of flatpaks or against flatpaks?

Why compare what OP described to flatpaks, instead of the “killer features” you so miss?

Is it possible to bring back that experience? A unified, reliable CLI solution to make sure EVERYTHING is up to date?

Yes. Use a Linux distro that doesn’t use flatpacks and you’re good to go.

The solution is to use any of the other hundreds of readily available distributions.

True, true. I misspoke and I’ve edited my comment.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that the engine should be free. More like it shouldn’t be tied to the number of downloads.

Sure, but per download, and retroactively? Absurd.

I like Reaper’s business model better. Yes, it’s audio, and yes it’s simpler, but it makes more sense. “You poor? Pay USD 60. Pay us USD 240 for the next upgrade when you make it big.” Imagine if they said “pay us 0.10 per download.” It would be total bullshit.

I don’t follow the Uber driver having paid for their cars. Yes, yes they have. Just like game studios paid for the offices, hardware and human resources.

No, fuck that. Paying a game engine for based on the success of my product is asinine. Absurd.

That’s like car companies asking Uber drivers for a cut of their revenues.

Or knife companies asking restaurants for a cut (heh) of their revenues too.

It’s sheer, sheer greed and nothing more.

Edit: I didn’t convey well what I meant. Yes, of course you should pay for a commercial game engine. That’s not asinine. I meant to say that it should be a flat fee, or maybe a tiered fee. But not something proportional to the amount of downloads.

Come to think of it, it’s surprising that’s not more prevalent today.

But there’s still lots of old Windows software out there and interested Wine users/developers with an itch to scratch

Sure. But that’s you. And probably me. But we don’t represent all possible, legitimate scenarios.

The actual right response should have been not to depart. Or cancel the flight. What are 111 passengers going to do without their luggage at the destination?!

This is sort of a reverse godwin.

Get off that high horse.
