Yeah I find GPL to be ironically non-free because it removes the right for anybody to use the code as they see fit, basically adding a restriction on the developer.

I find it absurd when people force me to use GPL for my research work and they aren't even in the field to know that adding restrictions on something thats good for the scientific benefit is foolish. RMS isn't funding research or building any kind of quantum computer, it's the big corporations that do that. This is just involving politics in science.

Forcing GPL for research is foolish because nobody would be interested in implementing your work. After all, it's those big corporations that have enough funding to take up on bigger ideas and research.

GPL is fine for basic software for consumers and I'd argue it should be used more but for research, its just a bad license.

How about LGPL

 

I’m active in circles associated with FSF and I often hear them saying research or academic software or programs must be licensed under GPL to prevent the work from being used in proprietary software.

But as a researcher I think that’s just involving politics in scientific work. I like BSD or MIT for research because it gives more flexibility for the users to use my work in anyway they see fit.

I think restricting my research work removes the point of it if it can’t be used freely by any person for any kind of work.

What do you people think?

C is a general purpose programming language. People also use it for high level software in certain parts of the software world, not just low level.

I just have a few more features left that I want to implement and that’ll conclude the development of the core package manager but rest depends on bringing packages into the repository

 

I started this as a learning project to learn development side of C but figured it could be much better than that since there are no package managers exclusively for C written in pure C.

The entire package manager is written purely in C and works on windows, linux or macOS

I think what people are forgetting that steam machine is literally a PC. It’s not a console to port something onto it. As long as the game supports proton it runs on it

There are a lot of free fonts (open source in your language) out there that cost nothing to use.

What's the ETA of the iOS app?

 
 

Seriously? Can this company even give itself a break from constant mess-ups? They first broke Bedrock, then Windows and they didn't even spare the Minecraft Launcher. The old position of the highlighted elements was a much better place to put it.

512GB SD card from Samsung or sandisk costs $50 in my country whereas those micro SSDs start at $120 for some reputable brands like Kingston

Close to finishing act 1 and JD is still the MC so writing is still fine. Not sure about the rest of the game

I tend to finish games a lot quicker than their average howlongtobeat times

What kind of games do you play?

[–] spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I think I’m just one chapter before the open world section. It’s gonna make more sense in a few hours why it’s boring to me

Tbh I'm going for the steam deck due to its portability and ability to play my existing library. I've made some life decisions that will make me travel a lot around countries or states so steam deck is the perfect pick for me. I don't really play more than 1-3 games that I play everyday and all of them run perfectly on the deck.

Earlier I thought of going for a PS5/6 but it wasn't really economical plus given my frequent rate of travel, its not feasible.

Right now, I play my games on a Thinkpad that struggles to do a lot of multi tasking stuff. Its only 2 years old but took a bad beating in terms of performance. I'm gonna get the last juice out of this laptop and continue my gaming on the deck

 

Gears 4 felt more like a filler game where a lot of things get introduced but nothing gets carried forward into the rest of the game. The game felt like it was designed exclusively to set up the narrative for Gears 5.

I'm 1 hour into Gears 5 and I felt that the narrative within the first one hour of the game felt a lot better. Gears 4 felt like you were the only living beings out there but gears 5 feels less lonely.

I don't know how the rest of the game is but this is my first impression.

Multiplayer wise gears 5 is amazing. I have 10 hours in MP and Horde so far and I love the horde mode. MP is a sweatfest like its always been in gears.

 

I'm eyeing on getting a 64gb base model since thats the only one available in my nearest store. Valve doesnt sell decks in my country so scalpers are the only way.

64gb is the most affordable option for me. I plan to get a 512gb sd card and play some casual cod zombies, deep rock galactic, fallout 76 etc.

Is it enough or will the SD card bottleneck it? There's no 256gb or 512gb model unless I take the risk of getting scammed.

 

I had a PS4 until I sold it in June if you're wondering how I played all of the uncharted games. Rest were on PC

 
 

Some of us were up until 3am building this stuff. We have a lot of copper golems sorting out chests for us
