It’s disgusting that Google will happily make money from scammers while completely aware of what’s going on

Something interesting I’d like to point out, the videogame Mindustry is open source and copyleft (I think either GPL or AGPL). You can get a build off GitHub or FlatHub completely for free. However there is a Steam version with Steam multiplayer and achievements as well which is $9.99 USD on Steam, estimated ownership is around 846.7k [1], the price hasn’t always been $9.99, but assuming that isn’t the case the game has made around $8 million, I haven’t taken out Valve’s cut and I don’t know how much tax they’re paying but that’s pretty good. It could be a lot higher if all of the FlatHub and GitHub users paid for their copy. I initially discovered the game on FlatHub, loved it and now have it on Steam. I wouldn’t have bought the game if I hadn’t tried it for free.

It feels counterintuitive that freeloaders can help with sales, but consider a physical artwork like a painting. People don’t tend to buy these things without seeing them first, and seeing it is experiencing, so there’s very little benefit to buying it, but people do anyway to support the artist, because they want more.

And don’t forget the movie length credits at the end of every episode

Planet X will be what Mars is renamed to once Elon takes it over

He looks like he knew what was going to happen. Modern day equivalent would be to suggest naming a planet ligma

This man is a hero:

I suppose volume is the best measurement of “big”

eh. He caused people to give Lemmy a go, leading to the wonderful communities we have here, so he can’t be that bad

Have a nice day!

Attributing someone as the “mother” or “father” of anything is a stupid simplification. Probably some dumb American thing. It’s just stupid. Not only does it imply that there can only be one female and/or male with this title for any given field (“the”), it can be inaccurate. In general by making this simplification you are setting two different standards of contribution, which goes against any idea of equality. I’d rather consider them substantial contributors. That way these arguments are completely avoided.

It’s very loose terminology. We call Oppenheimer the father of the atomic bomb when Einstein, etc laid the foundation for the technology. It’s a stupid thing to be arguing about

It’s the 21st Century now. There is no authoritive source of information, they should’ve added a link to back themselves up. Looking through Wikipedia, calling her the “Mother of WiFi” is a bit rich when there were probably other women more directly involved in WiFi who are more deserving of that title. But she is just the character required to appease the Twitter mob for another day

He’s the guy in the comment asking for evidence. Which I don’t think is wrong, but it seems like he could’ve done some research and they could’ve posted a link for anyone who wanted to know more

… Or Incorrect apostrophe, unless they meant “it is”

Just make sure you have good build instructions and maybe an install target to put it in /usr/local/bin

If you’re using C/C++ with Meson it will handle this for you, so long as your targets have install: true set. As other users have said it may get picked up eventually by a distro.

If you want to create packages there is this tool which is used by LACT (AMD GPU overclocking tool) to generate rpms and debs from a single manifest: https://github.com/vv9k/pkger/

For people who enjoy swearing at their computer, Bastet (short for Bastard Tetris) is an attractive alternative to Microsoft Word.
