From what I understand main idea is "if possible, make a donation, to help others in maximum way now or in the future". Help can include donating money to charity by your choice, donating kidney to stranger in need, or helping in some other way. He (Scott Alexander) sometime post a list of charities/fonds to which he thinks make sense to donate. Sometime it's different medical research facilities, AI safety groups, and other research fonds.
I see nothing wrong here? In the end it's just a donation, and nothing wrong with idea to try to do a maximum good with it. It's your decision to donate or not, and donate to whom in the end.

Comment on Do you play knock-offs of celebrated indie games? in ~games
Deely Link ParentPlease do it, just one point: it's not completely finished. Last patch should be published somewhere this year, so if you want to have a complete game maybe it make sense to wait a bit.Please do it, just one point: it's not completely finished.

Where is a edge between "knock off" and "inspired by"?My beloved Fields of Mistria is directly inspired by Stardew Valley but it's more polished and cozy (personal opinion) so in a sense it ruined Stardew Valley for me.
If game is knock off but expanded and devs really cared about it, I see no issues to play it. If it's quick and dirty mess of bugs with ads and a lot of p2w... Yeah... No. -

Vivaldi is free, but not strictly opensource, its source-available.
I`m pretty sure that Vivaldi is much more customizable than Brave.Anyway, I`m pretty happy that now we have new alternative, and I really-really love one-time purchase financial model.

Reductio to absurdum? Also you forgot to add "in my opinion" at the end. :)
I believe you can play Genshin without spending money, yes, progress will be slower and yes, you will not get all your heroes, but that's just gacha. And it's free, big and polished game with interesting, beautiful world and stories.
Do you have in mind game that similar to Genshin but better and without gacha mechanics maybe?

Comment on Tildes Survey #1: How old are you? (Results) in ~talk
Deely (edited )Link ParentGood for me :) Btw, are people not logged to tildes can answer this survey?Good for me :)
Btw, are people not logged to tildes can answer this survey?
Thats a very good, broad and big question.
I'm not a historian or sociologist, so, I can just explain my observations/impressions.
Results of revolution in 2014 imho was mostly political. Idea was to remove russian oriented president from govt. (I remember that Yanukuvich election campaign was about Euro-integration, so when he choose russia instead people are of course become quite pissed).
In my opinion practically until the start of the full scale russia invasion russian language was used daily by half (maybe 40%) of the population. Currently I belive it's maybe 5% or smaller.
In 2000s Ukrainian culture is of course influenced by russia. I am from the west of Ukraine so my impression is skewed, but.. most popular book authors are russian, most movies are come from russia, and most abroad art comes translated in (surprise! russian language). It's not like there no good authors or singers or movie directors in Ukraine, it's just russia in broad sense have more money, more people, more broad market for all these things. Also because Ukraine was part of USSR for a long time.
To be honest there was a lot very good unique creators in Ukraine, it's just if you want to have a really broad audience at that time you forced to use russian as language, and forced to use russian market as a mediator.
