I'm not sure about these, but it is notable that for the GOG cut of daggerfall, GOG did just put up a buggy and out of date version of daggerfall unity with no involvement from the developers. Maybe they learned from that and are doing it differently this time.

Of course, I wouldn't use guix if i really minded this, and I can always grab the flatpak/nix version/run it distrobox.

That seems to be what Samantha Fulnecky controversy ended up as.

1,C: おぬし…やりおるな
"You're pretty good [at that]"

That one seems to be closed source, it seems like if it gains traction it will just be a matter of time before enshitification hits.

Many respondents have been regular porn viewers since the fourth grade; few were older than twelve when they picked up the habit. And they were watching some serious stuff.
Watching hardcore pornography regularly since before you've even hit puberty must have some effects on your mental development. I don't think we can completely attribute the phenomenon to consenting adults spending their time in the way they enjoy. Though I'm not sure how much of that should be attributed to the normalization of softer sexual content on most platforms either.

Comment on CS2 skin update ‘rug pulls’ collectors as $1 billion wiped from market cap in ~games
spicyq Link ParentActually they aren't all fungible. Many skins have random patterns, so two knives of the same type may have dramatically different values depending on how desirable the pattern is.Actually they aren't all fungible.

I use cli tools a lot and they are extremely good for complex tasks, but I don't use many TUI tools and would never explicitly seek out a tool because of it being a TUI. It seems like there has been a resurgence of TUI apps and like you I am curious as to what the appeal is.

Comment on Have you tried Fossil scm, an alternative to git? in ~comp
spicyq LinkAre you using it for collaborative development or personal projects? I think a lot of gits complexity only applies to the former, and is often necessary there.Are you using it for collaborative development or personal projects?

I'm not trying to imply your issue isn't real or be an annoying linux guy, but could you give an example of two applications you can't paste between? I've genuinely never encountered anything like that. The only think I can think of is how in the terminal you have to press ctrl+shift+{c,v} since ctrl+{c,v} is a terminal code, and in emacs you have to do alt+w, ctrl+y since it's emacs, but even then, they both use the system clipboard.
