The peeps focusing on finding out scheming prompted an llm to generate scheming. Yawn This is the only surprising if you don't know that llms are fancy autocompletes.
I don't know un-installed it after 2 games. I wanted to like it, but the shooting was boring, and I can't be bollocksed to study 3 pages of items.
This is already happening even with Aaa games. The initial purchase doesn't seem to stop them anyway.
And no I don't worry about it. I think if there's motivation we'll figure out the way. People won't just ship making or playing good games.
That hijack is one of their worst blunders though as pirates are very romanticized in culture. They just made us look way cooler than the computer nerds we are.
I've been at this a long time 😅
if so, then check the other posts in that series.
counterpoint: If developers aren't forced to "eat their own dogfood" it becomes difficult to see some issues and know what to prioritize.
I also asked among the contributors if you should accept any form of money or NLnet funding or anything in that regard. Our common conclusion was: NO. Because we are doing it for fun, asking money will only create a situation were you might even feel more obligated.
In regards to NLNet, you should know how it works. NLNet doesn't give you money upfront and then expect stuff. You decide on a list of tasks to do and then complete them on our own time and get paid for each you complete. This reduces the pressure, as you can choose to handle these tasks as frequent as you want.
Then again. with NLNet getting defunded by EU, it's likely most new can't receive funding anymore.
Recently, a very dedicated contributor did left Mbin sadly without any announcement. This person is still being missed to this day
Man, I know the exact feeling. We had a similar case in our FOSS project of a valuable contributor going suddenly MIA, even blocking us out of pypi in the process. It hurts.
Listen, it's not our job to make Google search result better. They could have easily parsed apub sites like lemmy correctly of they want, but they're so enshittified there's low chance of that. But that doesn't mean we should be trying to fix their shit.
Nah but it's a discussion that spawned from my reply so I'm invested 😁
Given that automaytic has coutersued already, I think it'll happen
