uurrnn··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
Especially for GTA6. The most amount of money is riding on this. It's still going to be a lot if it's copied on day1, but there is no way it is near their projections.
uurrnn··on Photopea creator weighs in on Photosuite project
I use photopea every day. I can only imagine the complex emotions you're going through. I am not nearly as attached to my software, I imagine, just because of how "unimportant" it is.

I am still very attached to it though. For no good reason other than "it's mine", I think.

Isn't it a good thing software can't be closed? We have to use someone's tool though, and ego is inevitable, so idk? 100s of separate "open source" versions and people use what they think is the best?

Is it just about accountability? and having an author/human attached to the product to direct it? Choosing the person you have the most faith in?

uurrnn··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
I sympathize.

Obviously you don't need to pay for Photoshop anymore. Does that mean your product is the replacement? No. Just an example.

The fact that you or anyone can get to 95-99% very quickly. The rest can be added over time at a very high pace and some "actual effort".

Unless Photoshop can add some sort of proprietary features then why use them? (they have been doing this with AI features mostly, but it should still all be copyable)

uurrnn··on The darker side of being a doctor
There are APPS as well that have more training than nurses.
uurrnn··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
So that you can be linked to it and told to make an account.
uurrnn··on GPU World
Wasn't the whole Arab Spring in 2011 due, in a large part, to technology/twitter/mass-communication and organization enabled by the internet?

Maybe I am misremembering it.

That example alone feels enough.

uurrnn··on GIMP Development Update
It's been like this forever. Always been "photoshop but harder to use".
uurrnn··on Couple pay >$800k for a gene-editing therapy for their daughter. She died.
Physios really are great
uurrnn··on Rolls-Royce plans mini nuclear reactors by 2029
You have to understand that "Lowest deaths per terawatt-hour" is not the sole stat to look at to determine something's danger.

I think the flat amount of direct and indirect death, as well as considering the amount of people who's quality of life has diminished, but not enough to kill them.

Other energy industries have these problems too, so I have no idea how they actually compare.

uurrnn··on Pen Refills Guide
Blood? It's renewable.
uurrnn··on CIA’s Latest Layer: An Onion Site
Why do you think that? It's typically more lucrative to work private.
uurrnn··on Choosing Ruby on Rails for web development project in 2019
I have barely any experience with Ruby or Rails, but I'm interested in your similies.

Could you link a repo that you feel represents this kinda mentality?

uurrnn··on Godot Engine Awarded $50k by Mozilla Open Source Support Program
I've always thought Love looked good, but I've never tried it myself.

Do you only use it for quick prototyping of ideas and then move over to a different engine if you like the idea and want to expand?

I imagine the answer could come down to the scope of the game.

Kim Jong-un wasn't the leader of NK from 98-08 as well, fwiw.
uurrnn··on Schools are safer than they were in the 90s
Cars provide a much more useful function to society.
