I’d love if SKG was able to get some wins before they pull the plug entirely. Allow the community to keep it running, let them restore the lost content, unlock/add cosmetics, etc etc.

A guy can dream…of essentially what games were 15-20 years ago.

I guess I’m just oldschool haha. I prefer MMO gameplay, which is very similar, but you can get gear and titles and mounts for clearing difficult content with friends (or have an opportunity to make new ones.)

Runescape deciding to allow you to toggle cosmetics on or off for everyone is an amazing design decision that should be used more often. Because then, the gear tells a story. I miss that in older mmos. You’d see a glowy weapon or cool cape and be inspired to go ger it and/or see the amount of dedication it took for someone to unlock something.

Aint no billionaires there, they’re allergic to working hard after all haha

Any gacha game.

I’ve tried to play them, but many play themselves and are loaded with microtransactions and you’ll hit a wall. I much prefer unlocking things from progressing or doing skillful things within the game.

“Tennessee officials” aren’t paying shit. Tennessee taxpayers are paying for the officials’ fuckup. Perhaps it should be taken directly from the officials’ private accounts. Why punish taxpayers for the officials infringement on another taxpayer’s rights?

The officer who arrested him should pay for not refusing an unconstitutional arrest.

The police chief should pay for not slapping down such an arrest.

Any officers that were aware of it should pay for not acting to protect the man’s constitutional rights.

The DA and the judge the signed for any arrest warrant should pay for, again, blatantly ignoring the unconstituionality of this arrest warrant.

Hold the people who failed the system accountable so they don’t want to fuck up again. None of them give a shit and the taxpayers have to make this man whole rather than the people that harmed him. Contrarily, the taxpayers brought light to the case to try and protect the man.

American justice at work.

And Jellyfin downloads start spiking.

Huh, coincidence I guess.

It’s never an option to tax the megacorporations that force us to use public roads that they don’t pay for to get to work is it?

Good ol corporate socialism. Privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

Tax the megacorps more and use that to maintain roads and expand public transit providing an actual choice for people rather than forcing the individual to buy a car, pay for maintenance, for registration, for fuel, for a license, for tolls, all just to get to work.

Yeah…yeah. We live under authoritarianism no matter how much authoritarians want to gaslight us.

It shouldn’t in theory. Worst case is if bitwarden closes source, just fork the latest current open version and use it.

Ideally, a group, either independent or joining with vaultwarden devs, can build/maintain the frontend for vaultwarden that is bitwarden.

Egads! I’ll have to play other games. The horror! The humanity!

Oh, these indie games are actually pretty cool and much better. Maybe supporting passionate devs is better, huh?

Whoever says that should provide you with their government identification, credit card numbers, and full personal medical history. Oh, and especially their browser history. Mobile and pc.

They have nothing to hide, right?

Nah, copper has better conductivity. Gold is better with corrosion resistance and it doesn’t char when making contact. That’s why it’s used to plate terminal contacts, like the ends of hdmi plugs, and switch contacts. Silver is the best.

It doesn’t exist yet 😅 as I said, still learning and trying to avoid using AI as a lot of vibe coded discord clones popped up. I did compile a list (which probably needs updating)

You’re right. And that’s why more of us need to contribute and spread the word of projects to support them.

Honestly, FOSS is our last bastion against this consumerist hellscape. I’m working on learning to build my own discord-like front end on matrix specifically for gaming. But I’m just one guy. We’ve all gotta pick where we place our effort and support those around us similarly.

Vaultwarden taking over bitwarden, should they shut doen as open source, I think would be entirely worthy. But it might need more people to either help vaultwarden or maintain it on their own, you’re right.

To me, seeing and learning about all of these projects gives me hope. All of these people and communities working to build things out of passion and dedication, because they care and want to provide value to others. No profit motive necessary. We just need to be there to support them as we’ve tied capital to our survival currently.

You tell me. Many people don’t like dialectical thinking.

But this makes me think back to a video I saw not long ago about clean room engineering.

Now, while obviously dangerous for open source, could we not utilize AI in the same way to legally recreate proprietary software and code and release it as open source? As a means of fighting back?

Has Vaultwarden said anything yet? I imagine that, if necessary, given that bitwarden’s client is still open, at the point they choose to try and close it, we, the users, can fork it and establish it for vaultwarden, correct? Or, maybe even the vaultwarden team will think about forking it themselves and making a light client as well to pair with the current server.

But Vaultwarden can exist without “leeching” they just haven’t needed to yet. That’s more symbiotic than parasitic. The parasite class just took over Bitwarden after all.

This would be cool if people could afford hardware normally, let alone the extra expenses to liquid cool a system.

I’m getting more involved in that I’m discovering more open source projects that I can support.

Open source really gives me hope. Instead of a profit motive, communities form and work together out of passion and dedication to a project or idea.

That’s really invigorating to me. And, in many ways, can often be a big fuck you to our capitalist overlords. I’m working on presentations and such to teach my friends and spread the word about various projects and better op sec to make it all the harder to harvest our data.

10 bucks says the studies were paid for by coffee and fruit industries.
