@lanodan @SuperDicq Sega actually did use planet names as code names for other consoles. Saturn was the only one that was actually used in the final product. Mars was the codename of the 32X. Jupiter was an unreleased cartridge version of the Saturn. Neptune was an unreleased Genesis/32X hybrid and Pluto was an unreleased Saturn with a built-in modem.

@wertimer Just create a single user instance for yourself. There would still be instances that will block you but not as frequently. It seems to work with many people I follow.

@beardalaxy @SuperSnekFriend @Ronnie21093 @Iffine @Kyonko802 @poopernova Minetest is an engine, not a game. The Minecraft clone that people play in it is called VoxeLibre.

@SuperSnekFriend @beardalaxy @Iffine @Kyonko802 @poopernova @Ronnie21093 >They probably didn't want run icky proprietary Javascript to contact him.It's not like they even cared about 100% FOSS anyway. Last time I checked (which was over a decade ago, but still) they allowed source-available content (including Lua scripts) on their forums.

So about that Refractored Depths Windows port.....It's still on my mind. I'm considering just porting the game from SFML to SDL because SDL is just simpler and would probably make it easier to port to Windows. Even the Linux version was causing problems for some as the version of SFML it uses was an outdated version that is incompatible with the most recent SFML version, but is still in the Debian repositories for some reason.Yes, this will be a major undertaking, but I'm out of options other than to abandon the idea and just have the thing remain a Linux exclusive that is even hard to run on most Linux distros that aren't based on Debian.

@LukeAlmighty The left used to talk about the Bilderberg Group, which is like the WEF but much more secretive, but I never hear them talk about it much anymore.

I'm going forward on porting Refractored Depths to SDL and I am already single-handedly replacing every SFML API call with its SDL equivalent. Hopefully, I can get this done and port it to Windows as well as having a more reliable build for Linux. Though obviously, I can't test anything until all SFML calls are replaced so I can't test things in increments.I really feel like me using an outdated version of SFML really hurt the potential that Refractored Depths could have made. I guess I could take the blame for being ignorant and insisting on some relatively obscure multimedia library that is dynamically linked by default and breaks compatibility without warning.However, at least using SDL means that I can also port it to more obscure platforms. I'm strongly considering porting the game to SerenityOS because that OS looks like it has a lot of potential and there aren't that many games being made for it. I could probably get a cult following there.

@chrislw @preya Cryptpad only because you can upload multiple files at once. The only downside is that it isn't federated, unlike Nextcloud.

This SFML to SDL conversion is coming much more smoothly than I expected. Then again, we still need to wait until it is ready to compile to see if it works.

I think I'm 1/2 to 2/3 the way done with the SDL conversion. The only thing I'm currently avoiding the the text related stuff because I actually haven't messed with SDL_ttf yet.

@beardalaxy I'm glad I've been mostly ignorant about the whole situation. At least it's not like the Summer of Love when everyone was bending the knee and shaming you if you were ignorant.

@coolboymew @graf @mrsaturday I think it's okay if a game is banned or simply unavailable in your country.

If you can make one of these websites go away (or fall into obscurity), which would it be?

While I can't vote myself, I would probably pick LinkedIN because it went from simply being Facebook for workaholics to basically a requirement for any skilled job, and it seems to be mostly used for doxxers to find out where people work.

@cjd @LukeAlmighty >What we would want is a world like that, except when the government starts saying batshit insane / bad faith stuff, we can just say "your government sucks, I applied to join <someone else's> government and got accepted so I quit"So you are saying that you are a panarchist?https://polcompball.wiki/Panarchism

@cjd @LukeAlmighty >Probably a tall ask, but it would be nice to have a choice of more different countries to live in, and not all just identical cookie-cutter democracies.That's my only beef with it, but supposedly, a hypothetical panarchist society would have common law and private courts to deal with conflict between different law providers though maybe it would be easier just to have a patchwork of city-states, micronations, and autonomous zones.
