“We leveraged the fact that many people know about the world and story of the original Final Fantasy VII when we designed the remakes,” Hamaguchi told me during the leadup to Rebirth’s release. “In this title, our general framework follows the original storyline, but at the same time we incorporated elements clearly not included in the original, such as the Whispers and Zack.” This creates a unique opportunity for a remake: uncertainty. “That sort of thrill is very important for this title as a piece of entertainment.”

We have a name for that, “reboot”. Or more cynically, “cash grab”

I love that the replies to you are half saying that it’s an impossible problem, and half linking to existing solutions.

It hits the “tethered network services” anti-feature which is hidden by default in F-droid.

This maneuver may sound simple, but it involves an entirely new and unique code for which the researchers have sought a patent.

How to make your discovery worthless in a single, idiotic move.

There’s always package forwarding. I’m about to find out how bad an idea that is.

It does require a court order, but notably you do not need to be suspected of a crime.

Dont we have a right […] to not self incriminate?

Not that I’m aware of, but if you find otherwise, let me know!

They can compel you to reveal your password without a warrant but can’t touch your phone? Is that a state law?

And randomly crash.

Sounds like wine is emulating correctly!

I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

Blinx: The time sweeper

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.

Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

You would be giving up some feed-rate control and retraction. Probably not too bad with certain materials and large scale prints, but I’d be surprised if you could do anything moderately precise with this.

How about MNT Reform or it’s Pocket little brother?

They get you

• Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you’re into that
• Modern components
• HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
• No sticky goo coating
• Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

• Low price - you didn’t mention a budget constraint
• Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

Only just got your reply, but just in case:

Make sure to read through this if you are exploring this route https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/wiki/Setup-PrusaSlicer

I’m not talking about the technique, I’m talking about the video. Both the individual creature designs and the appearance of the “how-to” animations look like carbon copies.

If Twitter hadn’t imploded I would be able to check how similar they actually are.

Is this the original creator? These look very much like gifs from someone I followed on twitter years ago, but the video is only four months old and says “technique I learned about recently”

Did you… try?

I’ve migrated from Lychee to Prusaslicer+UVTools. It’s less ergonomic, and the auto supports seem a little light-on, but it fulfills my needs and being open source means a lot to me.

I can’t help you but I’m fascinated by your door now. Does this door/lock have a name? How did you end up with such an elaborate mechanism?
