“Hey kid, hold still while we throw some fake money on you and take a photo. It’s for marketing.”

Got curious about this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Clashes_between_web_and_X11_colors_in_the_CSS_color_scheme :

One notable difference between X11 and W3C is the case of “Gray” and its variants. In HTML, “Gray” is specifically reserved for the 128 triplet (50% gray)  . However, in X11, “gray” was assigned to the 190 triplet (74.5%)  , which is close to W3C “Silver” at 192 (75.3%)  , and had “Light Gray” at 211 (83%)   and “Dark Gray” at 169 (66%)   counterparts. As a result, the combined CSS 3.0 color list that prevails on the web today produces “Dark Gray”   as a significantly lighter tone than plain “Gray”  , because “Dark Gray” was descended from X11 – for it did not exist in HTML nor CSS level 1[8] – while “Gray” was descended from HTML.

… I’m not blind, right? She has her panties on display? That absolutely falls under “suggestive” imo.

Comparing being asked to tone down your marketing materials for an all ages game to censorship of explicitly nsfw games is also kinda scummy. You aren’t having your livelihood threatened by this.

I had a visceral reaction to this because obviously the wish count should be decremented before the wish takes place. Even though I can’t think up a convincing technical argument for it.

Steam wasn’t using it to bypass their policies and demands.

I’ve seen this a lot, and there are problems with it. People are not going to want to go through setting up a crypto wallet just to buy a game. People are not going to be happy with Itch.io doing it transparently behind the scenes (who knows where they are sending it to). Creators are not going to be happy with having to pay higher transaction fees. And all this would apply to all games sold on Itch, not just the spicy ones, since Mastercard and Visa would absolutely block them if they tried it.

Why not just use something like Wero (or a hypothetical global equivalent) and use direct bank to bank transfers with no payment processor acting as an intermediary?

… Wait, so does the dotfile thing mean the out of the box experience will be degraded? Why doesn’t someone just fork it and set the defaults to match the dotfile? And if it isn’t better, how arrogant do you have to be to think your theme and setup is worth a monthly sub?

Edit: Looking at the actual page, it seems that buying the sub doesn’t give you the same benefits as donating €5 or vice versa. For some reason.

Because people have conversations and then clickbait youtubers overexaggerate it.

Realistically, probably not much for people outside of the tech industry. People will use the best tool for the job, and whether it’s foss or not won’t matter.

Mint. It just works and Cinnamon is a good DE (ui design peaked in the Windows XP days). Plus you also get all the software built and tested for Ubuntu without the bullshit of using Ubuntu.

For my server I use NixOS, because having one unified configuration is so nice.

How the times have turned.

Personally, I think that the discussion around this will evolve as the news spreads, but I agree with Robert on this one. Sure, X/Twitter has become a less welcoming place than before, but shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn’t a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.

Nah, I think I’m cool if Debian doesn’t respect the input of Nazi sympathisers.
