  • A mix between world strategy like europa/total war, management of dynasty/kingdom/territory like crusader king, that can lead into invasion with advantages due to planning/bonuses in an RTS like like rise of nation bonus, extra armies etc , and rts like age of empire/mythology rise of natio , etc. That you can then further go into a single player hack&slash like mount & blade, or an fps like CoD or battlefield, where you are a singular soldier/leader.

    And with a significant time progression, such as going from stone age with clubs, to medieval, to modern with guns, to futuristic with space age and all.

    And it’d be very cool if you can basically hotswap between those. As in, you can go into the overworld, manage your empire, go back to rts to make units in a settlement getting attacked to defend it, and then realize you are losing on a front somewhere so you go full try hard with solo fps to try to hero your way to victory yourself.

    Will real time progression between all the environments ( not at the same scale of speed tho ), so you would be hard pressed to play on every front at once yourself, you gotta make choice on which part you do yourself to ‘guarantee’ a win, and what you hope the ai will do enough to win by itself, or maybe pop over there shorty to give yourself a boost or massacre a bunch of enemies in fps mode to make sure your ai can make work of the rest itself.

    Don’t think this will ever see the light of day. Waaaaaaay too big. It’s litterally multiple levels of very different games/genras mashed together, at once, and in parallel


  • You think Israel would just let them take one of their hospital in the first place ? Why would that happen in the first place ? There would be an immediate military intervention , before they are deeply embedded

    In Palestine tho, hamas does what it wants. And nobody is there to stop them. So they already are in the hospitals, and in the streets leading to hospital, and watching the neighborhood where those are.


  • I feel like YOU are missing the point. Even tho you say exactly why this matters the most.

    Yes market respond to demand. Compa oes DGAF whether they pollute, only that people buy. That’s why the ONLY solution is that all these companies are regulated to pollute less. If everyone has to, then they are still equal and people won’t buy a cheaper alternative that happens to be more polluting.

    Hell, I’d go as far as to say that it only matters if the top 5-10 countries do it. If China, USA, and India don’t do this, the entire world is fucked and there is nothing to be done by anyone else.



  • I’m very pro union. But not all unions are good. My father’s union is so bad he might actually be losing money. They just roll over for management to fuck them, barely negotiate anything at all. Last time, they ‘negotiated’ an increase in pay, and the increase was actually SMALLER than the increase in union dues.

    Oh, and they only defend the worst of the worst. Litteral thief, stealing, caught on camera, multiple times ? Well defend you tooth and nails. 'Til the management litterally had to get police involved for them to back down.

    Unions in general are good. But for some specific unions, ymmv.



  • Feel like I had very covid-like symptoms a couple of times. Not quite like a flu, similar, but a little different.

    Tested myself every time, always negative. Not sure if it’s a false negative, or a variant that doesn’t get a result on those tests tho. Almost hard to believe i never caught it tho, as I have been exposed a couple of times too.






  • I give it the tiniest slimmest of chances to succeed. Below 1%

    Too much regressives & right wingers. Entire, countries sometimes.

    Plus, a handful of country(USA, China, india) are so overwhelmingly disproportionately polluting compared to the rest of the world ( or will massively increase in the next decades in the case of India ) that if all 3 are not all in into it, nothing anyone else does matters. And I don’t believe any of those 3 will do enough.

    So regardless of what the rest of the world does, I do t believe it matters. I still think they should tho, because if all 3 DO in fact make it, if the rest didn’t, it still won’t work either. So, achieving a largely global goal is even impossibl-er in my opinion

    We are are fucked as is. A way to ‘solve’ this is a global collapse in population, but that wouldn’t be very nice either.


  • Is what you host publicly accesible? If not, then it’s not even a concern. You could even host unsafe apps, but if you know they are entirely inaccessible, it wouldn’t change a thing.

    As for php itself, it’s mostly due to the fact it’s by far and wide overwhelmingly crushing the competition. A quick Google search says it’s used by about 80% of websites. So, it has, by far, the most (negative) publicity, biggest target, and most inexperienced/bad devs working on it. Software is as secure as its made. Junior dev don’t often think about security. It’s bigger, so it happens more often.



  • I don’t have to bother with ads on desktop, TV, phone, nor on my gf’s devices. I don’t have to find work around, use sideloaded apps or whatever. And youtube is by far and wide my most watched platform, has been for years.

    It also includes youtube music, which has been my exclusive music platforms, either to play during work, household chores, on my phone or on my Google home, or in the car.

    To me, it’s not even a question if it’s worth it. If anything, it’s my Netflix, crunchyroll, hidive subs that I should drop. They are replaced way more easily
