Is this safe?

Do I want to download my OS from someone nearby?

Meanwhile, kids take hits all the time that would kill me instantly.

You die and whatever factors that lead you to not reproduce will become less common in the future.

That’s the theory anyway!

One is a requirement to be an organism. The other is a nice to have. A great many creatures simply die after reproducing, for example, which we can interpret to mean the minimum requirement has been met and anything beyond that isn’t as important, if we like to view it that way.

Forming that small person is also a bit of a chaotic and messy process involving chance errors of various kinds and variations in the way parts grew. In a sense, the person formed would never be exactly the same if you tried again with the same inputs either.

That this system works as well as it does is a miracle.

EDIT: Missing words.

My IP is in this photo and I don’t like it.

Using AI we can turn out garbage faster than ever!

Please don’t do this to me. The whole point of a console is convenience, and it’s not like you had to test for multiple platforms. You control the hardware.

The number of comments is inversely proportional to the size of the pull request.

Ah, didn’t see that in my client!

This article is over ten years old. Why share it now?

Not complaining. I just don’t understand the context here.

It will be double dead with the shift toward digital games over physical copies.

Language is constantly evolving. There is no clear line. New words are added, meanings change, and it depends on the intent of the speaker too.

However as a mater of practice I choose to never assume it has been reclaimed. It’s always possible that someone hasn’t received the update.

I mean, he’s a billionaire. I guess there’s big money on propping up totalitarian regimes.

I understand it’s very similar to how people get wrapped up in a cult.

Charismatic leadership/ideology and exerting top-down control in much the same way cults operate.

No, it’s not coming back like the title indicates. This is by zero of the original people and none of the original code. It’s a clone, of which there are many better ones, as the article content explains.

This is a scam abusing a legal loophole (sniping the trademark) to sound official.

Thanks for the additional info! I don’t think this is good enough. The project is still under the GPL because it made use of GPL-licensed code.

Generally such an approach still has problems because you have to be sure you’ve replaced every single piece of GPL and that the new code wasn’t written simply re-implementing knowledge of the old code else there may still be an argument that the current iteration must comply with the GPL. He isn’t publicly providing evidence that he has permission from every contributor, so we can’t validate he isn’t misusing GPL code. However, this isn’t my main concern.

If you have anyone who has seen the GPL code write new code, that code is arguably also under the GPL. This has caused problems for other projects. If you really want to replace the GPL code, you have to bring new people in and write all the missing pieces. He is not free to implement this code himself because he has been tainted by knowledge of the viral code that was tightly integrated to the project in the past.

Again I am not a lawyer but this seems to be the general consensus on what you must do to implement this change properly. How I read this, the project is still under the GPL.

Perhaps! I’ve always found that people who participate in the HOA Governance are the kind of people who can’t mind their own business.

I had to. It was included with my monthly fees.

This developer offers flatpak and AppImage builds, both of which try to solve the problem of distributions making their own distribution-specific changes.

It’s not a perfect solution, but there are some packaging systems trying to move in the right direction.

I was there. It was really weird. The people doing the inspections didn’t even know what they were looking for. What, a USB drive? It was clear to me that they had a very basic, normal persons understanding of technology.

This was mainly motivated by the MGM hacks so they could show that they were doing something in case they got hacked later for liability.
