It would help your point if you told us what these virtual spaces being bulldozed are.

Introducing vimux, the brand new distro nobody has any idea how to exit!

“We’ll try anything as long as it fits in our exact worldview and doesn’t inconvenience us in any way whatsoever”

Meanwhile remote-first companies are saving money on office space and can use that to hire more people, while also immediately being greener than a company with commuters that have to worship the concrete temple.

I doubt they want my fun and safe math optimizations either tbh

It IS an 8 year old game at this point though - many games don’t get fixes beyond the first patch or 2.

Yup, now you spend several hundred on a Chinese clone of whatever factory diagnostics tool allows you to code modules and such. And there are still probably things you can’t touch.

Cars are too simple now and you couldn’t fix one even if you wanted to since they are so locked-down.

Yes, same thing between computing hardware (I’m not gonna say computers, because for a lot of people nowadays, their only device is their smartphone) and cars. It used to be that things were more complicated to use, but easier to repair, so a large percentage of users could also repair their things.

Nowadays, you don’t even need to know how to check your oil level because the car will tell you if it’s low. You might not even have a dipstick. And with service intervals being 25000km and more, how much are you REALLY saving by doing your own oil change and stuff? I still do it, but

Similarly - as a kid, I had to fix small issues that popped up with Windows XP ALL the time. Couldn’t connect to any website? Flush the DNS cache. No connectivity at all? ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. Mouse stopped working AGAIN? Use the keyboard to navigate to devices, reinstall mouse driver.

If I was growing up right now, I’d have no idea how things work, because they JUST DO. So you don’t learn a lot anymore. As for cars, I still learned because I grew up poor, so my first car was around 500 euros and I did everything myself.

I’m neither a, s nor p lmao.

So why don’t you move back to Russia? Presumably you still have a citizenship.

So many Russians abroad praise the homeland while enjoying the relative freedom that other countries bring to the table. Yet none seem to understand that others don’t want to live in Russia either.

Ukrainians tend to be proud of their national identity - which, yes, I know, only Russians are allowed to be, but apparently many people don’t seem to care - so it’s pretty hard to convince them to go back to being second class citizens of yet another attempt at a Russian Empire.

They have no reason not to at this point.

Do you think a single Ukrainian wants to live under Russian rule now? The few I’ve spoken to don’t even want to be spoken to in the language and that was even BEFORE 2014.

Wow, POV is used correctly for a change!

Dude, most of Europe is also pledged to help the US when attacked. In fact the US is the ONLY country ever to have invoked article 5.

Ukraine is not a member but is strategically important to NATO because it’s strategically important to the Russian empire’s restoration, which we kinda want to prevent. Plus they’ll be a powerful ally once they can join, which they really want to nowadays.

Now the US could go full isolationist, but if a Russian-Chinese alliance takes over all of Eurasia, y’all are really going to lose out on a lot of trade and access to resources, plus might actually be susceptible to invasion if you have no allies left.

Worst part is, they got acquired the year after release, so even if KC:D 2 is good, their games in the more distant future are bound to be enshittified.

It sounded amazing right up until the alzheimers tbh.

Fortunately for me it’s not even sold here.

Brave of you to say it on ml where a lot of people support Putin’s goal of restoring the empire.

Likely unrelated. If they were actually recruiting people for something nefarious, they wouldn’t advertise their name on malware.

I prefer the other Matt Gray tbh, he’s funnier and doesn’t tell me to wake up at 5:30 when I’ve just gotten to sleep…

The freezer itself produces heat too though.

Or they just fork and stop sharing source code. Self-sufficiency would just mean not having to depend on any future contributions. Nobody can stop them from having access to all the old stuff.

So what do you like about it and what do you dislike about it? I haven’t tried it yet, might pick it up when it costs about as much as a hamburger with fries, but probably not before.

This one? Looks like they’re at least making progress you can download and play now!
