Stangenzirkel!

What is this, a Butcher for ants? He should be at least three times as big!

M-m-…moody fella?

It had been known since the dawn of time, that every day of the week that starts with “T” is a pirate day. This makes Tuesday, Thursday and Today.

Suomi mainittu!

I’m in the same boat - only started getting into Nix a couple months ago, with no proper engagement in the community yet

I liked the breakdown posted by another user above. As far as I understood (I hope others will correct me) is that:

1. One person, who happens to be a well-respected long-time contributor, was dismissive of others’ concerns about accepting funding from a MIC company.
2. They got suspended for 6 weeks due to being affiliated with said company (?) and not having disclosed it properly.
3. They went on Reddit to write about the situation, grossly misrepresenting it in their favor, turning their contributor cred into vocal support in reddit comments.
4. All of that is happening while the community as a whole is struggling with scalability and transparency of organization, as well reaching an ethical consensus on the funding question.

Wonderful reply, thank you! My experience is indeed very limited, glad you shared yours

I am intrigued by your response. I agree completely - gotta pick a right tool for a job, but in my experience Windows is only good at running software that is locked-in by a vendor. E.g. I would use Windows to develop for .NET stack. I am a software engineer, so my experience is limited like that. When you were thinking about things that Windows is right for, what examples came into you mind?

I find the lack of proghead representation quite disturbing. There are dosens of us!

Number is a simple abstraction: an exercise in conceptualizing a particular part of human experience, - the amounting of stuff and the relations of various amounts.

Its utility shines the most in the practice of measurement: determining, manipulating and comparing the amounts of stuff.

Numbers also useful as a stepping stone in a learning journey, allowing an individual mathematician to transition to using other, more powerful abstractions (like variables, polynomials, sets, functions, vectors, fields, etc.).

Numbers are magick!

50 minutes is far from enough to write a piece like that off as “mediocre”, my online friend. By 2014 standards it was technically impressive, the gameplay loop is fairly tight, and the game delivered a genuinely compelling story, twisting and changing the beloved “twin peaks” formula in a way, that is easily recognizable as a distinct “Remedy-way”. As I was playing, figuring out themes, ideas and authorial intent was always clear and engaging. Maybe you just didn’t like it - totally fine. You certainly do have a taste, I reckon, so some things are bound to fall out

Remedy does make sick game though. Have you played the original AW or Control? Those games bop

Hey, imagine growing up in an environment that deliberately stunts your emotional development since early childhood, encourages you to hide your feelings or mask them with anger, ties your essential worth as a person to your utility, neglects and ghosts you as punishment for transgressions, models all relationships either as transactions or conquests, and constantly flirts with an idea to kill you in the name of some belief, policy, dogma or tradition. All that with ZERO PEER SUPPORT, and zero solidarity amongst your gender.

Identifying with a banished Greek god of War sometimes helps me trough the day. If he can transcend a moldy curse of war-mongering masculinity to focus on those he loves, so can I. I expect no judgement.

I liked the plan to cut Australia in half North-to-South with an enormous river a lot better tbh.

I would like to be able to spread basic education and academic literacy by touch. Like boop - and suddenly your “research” into “liberal agendas” is a joke we can both enjoy.

In Finland I drink straight out the shower head, it’s fun and wonderfully safe.
