pfcd··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
"FOSS" doesn't mean that you cannot monetize your program.

It's just that people have taken different routes historically.

pfcd··on The Wholesale Plagiarism of Obscure Sorrows
I doubt people that are already systematically stealing material can't hide, or forge arbitrary identities.

Naming and shaming doesn't work for such attack vectors, it's a social strategy for people that have a real identity established and are making money out of that, not for ephemeral identities of such scammers.

pfcd··on Why are my headphones buzzing whenever I run my game?
> I am working on an isometric game inspired from Gnomoria, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, etc.

That sounds interesting. Could you elaborate further?

This performance is also very great (No. 1 only, not the whole concerto): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcsfDxojdV8

> I can see why they are protective of the IP...

There's a distinction to make: they are not only being "protective" of their IP, they are also very actively attacking the people that doesn't know legalese. Similar story with Oracle, if you need some reference to solidify what they're constantly pulling.

> Are we allowed to call Nintendo the big N now?

You were; almost always, actually.

pfcd··on Reddit will block the Internet Archive
It already was blocked, in a way.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/internetarchive/comments/1gpn54q/is...

> They are not specifically targeting Wayback Machine. Anything other than residential IP's are blocked, to my information. Such as IP's of cloud services like Hetzner, GCP, AWS... The list goes on. (from my comment there)

Any food without bread? Pizza without bread.

Pizza without bread? Pizza without bread.

Pizza? Pizza.

Pizza with pizza? Pizza++.

pfcd··on GitHub pull requests were down
> We recommend Codeberg/Forgejo now since it is better in every way...

Lol.

> ...and Gitlab went corpo.

How else will they sustain/maintain such a product and compete with the likes of GitHub? With donations? Good luck.

pfcd··on Online Collection of Keygen Music
Check out [MASTER BOOT RECORD](https://www.youtube.com/@MasterBootRecord) and [KEYGEN CHURCH](https://www.youtube.com/@KEYGEN_CHURCH).

Same guy is behind these both.

pfcd··on Terminal app can now run full graphical Linux apps in the latest Android Canary
That doesn't mean they are "normal PCs".

Define what is a "normal PC" to you, then. Is it just specs?

> phones are normal PCs not a weird embedded environment

It's the opposite.

pfcd··on Boost your development environment with Ubuntu Multipass
Could you elaborate on that? How exactly snaps are a "no go"?
pfcd··on Boost your development environment with Ubuntu Multipass
Not much. But I heard a lot that it is way more stable and reliable. Since they are not working on multiple providers like Vagrant does (VMWare, VBox...) every function works without a complaint. It is undeniably a great way to spin up Ubuntu VMs. It has cloud-init too. So I don't think you'll be missing something from Vagrant.
