  • Introducing Incremental Social, a community for both players and developers of incremental games!
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 100%

    oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

    i'm a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
    i don't have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
    hopefully developers will add a "join Matrix room" button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

    i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i'll actually finish it now that there's a community i can share it with.

  • How do you feel about TypeScript?
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 66%

    Without Microsoft, TypeScript would not exist.

    I'm not sure you are aware, but TypeScript is not the first language to compile to JavaScript.

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4414558/languages-that-interpret-down-to-javascript
    https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS

    Without TypeScript, people would have adopted a different JS transpiler, one that isn't controlled by a monopolistic corporation with a history of extinguishing open source projects.

  • what the fuck does that mean
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 90%

    It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

  • Migrate to Unreal Engine, License, Royalty, Useful Info, Your Options
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 50%

    Or you could stick to software that doesn't need lawyers or licensing or eulas or negotiations.

    If you use Godot, you actually own your copy of the game engine, can do whatever you want with it, and aren't waiting for some corporation to do crazy nonsense like unity did.

    You shouldn't pick on him.
    Picking scabs isn't healthy.

  • Capitalism Stockholm Syndrome
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 75%

    Stockholm Syndrome isn't a real thing.

    “Stockholm Syndrome” was invented by police to discredit a female hostage

    If the prime minister told me "You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post" I wouldn't trust the authorities either. Being a bank teller shouldn't mean you have to die for your employer or for the police.

    I've never used inoreader, but Wikipedia lists it as "Freemium". It's not FOSS

  • How are slavery reparations fair?
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 100%

    Yup. From the article:

    Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.

    Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.

  • How are slavery reparations fair?
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 91%

    Britain paid reparations to the slaveowners and their descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
    The last check went out in 2015. So yes, people alive today benefited from this. directly.
    If they want to make it fair, they should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved people and/or take back the money they gave to slaveowners.

    reporting content on kbin

    I've reported a few posts on kbin and I'm not sure if they go anywhere. Who reads the reports? Does the report go to the magazine owner? What if hate speech is coming from the owner of a magazine?

    What are your favourite open source games?
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 100%

    I haven't tried thrive in a while. I hear they've switched engines again, to Godot this time. Is it playable? Is it fun? Do they have more than the single-cell phase?

  • International Chess Federation (FIDE) to ban and punish transgender players
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 100%

    The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

  • Minimal Wayland Software?
  • janWilejan janWilejan Now 100%

    interesting.
    the default config file is basically "Drew's preferences watered down a bit for a general audience"
    alacritty used to be Drew's preferred terminal for sway.
    sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

    foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
    they're both good wayland software, though

    "while pregnant due to facial recognition technology" damn. facial recognition technology is a lot more invasive than I thought it was.

    Who's Oriya?
