American anschluss of Canada to expand their lebensraum, because they feel they deserve it.

Musk does not hide how he feels about it, we wouldn't either.

I must say I am impressed with Organic maps already. OsmAnd, and Google maps for that matter, are much slower.

Rotation works for me flawlessly on Fedora Silver blue.

Send me a PM and I'll buy you a coffee ;)

Remember, for every paid SaaS, there is a free open-source self-hosted alternative

CAD. Free solutions compared to commercial ones (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360, Onshape) are like comparing Photoshop to an open source Paint clone.

I think you may like Expeditionary Force series, there is quite a bit of what you are looking for.

I guess Asimov Foundation series would also be a good candidate for world building.

Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn't Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.

Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That's 100%.

Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.

Crypto as currency = good.

Crypto as investment = bad.

First one is technological progress, the other is a Ponzi scheme.

The architecture can easily be open source - as long as repo is missing just the training data. Just like there are Doom engines that are open source, even though they do not provide WAD files, which are still copyrighted. The code is there, but it is somewhat useless without the data. Analogy is not perfect, but let's assume it compiles to a single binary containing everything, maps included.

If ID Software gives you a compiled Doom with maps free to use it is freeware. If they open source the engine (they actually did), but do not release the WAD files as open source, the compiled game is not open source - it is still freeware.

It is not complicated really.

Yesterday I've spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?
