I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the “blue vs. red” factions of the early game, like 1999.

from hammers import sledgehammer and that’s why I love Python :)

There are two ways to getting answers, and apparently neither involves the copying and pasting the mod of the community is doing xD

Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.

Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…

Ah, my bad “again”… should have mentioned that there’s the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do

Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn’t use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

Yup, I love this https://www.videogist.co/

We need serious sex-ed with consent at the pinnacle of it. (And, even then, we need some major cultural changes)

Those locks are kinda optional. And luggage is way less important than all of one’s communication ; imho.

If only some billionaire trained a GPT model on all copyrighted books, with the twist of really being able to return the whole content ;)

It would be legal, tho IANAL.

Sorry to be honest, but this is my view…

Voting between two parties, and then getting whatever the “electors” pick. All the while, thinking they live under the biggest democracy of the world.

Having all sorts of inhuman behaviors, like robbing childs from immigrants.

Child marriage.

Having lots of weapons in the country but all wars outside.

Mmm… What else? Ah, prisoners are slaves.

You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…

Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.

(I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)

Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.

The paragraph with prices says it includes a foldable keyboard. I would have loved to see it… It’s probably shit but I’m enticed…

They still store the passwords like that? I remember that quote of Zuckerberg doing so, in the early days, and boasting about it to a friend… This was so outrageous at the time. Now it’s beyond absurdity… Not to mention the fine is so small!
