Yeah but I’m glad they’re not here.

I liked this stats but don’t like that I liked them. I shouldn’t feel so happy at number go up. Lemmy is way less adictive for me and I’m happy with it

Good question though

Dahm been quite a bit since I’ve seen this one. Wonder what changed on my system?

Oh hey, been a bit but I’m glad you came back to this. I honestly really liked the book. Very rushed ending though I’d argue. I like a lot of what they did with the mercenaries and with nightblood along with the general lore. Everything with lightsong and blushweaver was great too but at times the book dwadled around and when it came to it, answers seemed to just be tossed together and regirgatated (can’t spell that shit). Lightning always kept me entertained though.

I know that’s a lot of complaining but other than the end the book was very good. It is his style to have everythingfall together at the end it seems but the other four books I’ve read by him seem much more-like a bunch of pieces falling into place and a few things blowing up spectacularly than this one which felt like “and then it turned out some people are bad and the others are good. Here’s why it all happened and some lore too. They also fight. But wait? Happily ever after too.”

I don’t regret reading it at all though. All three stories were great in their own right and the world is certainly my favourite. The system is so interesting along with the culture. I hope he revisits it.

God, sorry for the novella, but you did make the mistake of asking me about a book. You fool.

Took a break but now I’m 400 pages into way of kings BTW. Liking it a lot so far.

I’d argue this is more like “I want to build a competitor to spotify so let’s decide between using mariaDB or writing an SQL compliant database from scratch”

In your example, a database is the end goal and you can either start with a premade or make your own.

Here, a social media platform is the end goal. Activitypub is a very important part of it but it’s not the entire piece.

If we replace the parts of your analogy with the original your example would parse out to “I want to make a competitor to lemmies ActivityPub integration, so let’s start with fedify” which is not the same as the article states.

Now, should you re-impliment a protocol yourself or use a generic library is the real question. Both have their benefits. With option A you have full code ownership and can wrap your solution around your end goal without the issue of dealing with the original to get needed changes accepted. You don’t have to worry about code not written by or understood by you. With option B, you get a more robust and almost certainly more accurate implementation. Along with, for free, better integration with any service using the same library. Very useful for a federated service when talking about cross platform.

Both have many more positives and negatives of course and each person should decide on their own how to proceed.

My opinion? I think it’s usually best to own anything which could feasibly be understood by a single dev. Even if each dev doesn’t. Anything larger shouldn’t be internal in my strong opinion unless very good, specific reasons apply that makes an external solution impossible or increadibly difficult. Most negatives of an external library also apply at that point with enough time.

Absolutely. Which is why I like medium sized series of books that way the next book is usually clear, but I don’t have the secondary issue of never feeling like I’m “done” you get with long series.

Start looking when you get to the last book and by the time you’re through you can hop right in

Thank you, unless someone else gives be reason not to I think I’m going to take your suggestion. Next will be warbreaker, then the way of kings.

Here’s a few I could suggest
Cap Chronicles - tg.blk
Love Being Used - tg.blk
Dora - Tierra Whack
Orion’s Belt - Kitty ray
One life, might live - Little Simz

Thank you for posting it by the way. This is both good, and important news

Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn’t as good, I’d argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place

Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it’s very good on its own

It’s finally happening. So excited for the game

OK here’s a thought, I don’t think any kid lost 20 teeth at the same time. I think that coent was about total tooth loss, and that the money thing was suggesting each tooth the fairy gets is one “tooth dollar” in their bank. I think that this one-has three partially connected thoughts instead of one coherent story

Yeah, I’m confused.

I like you man you’re chill

Incase you don’t know they’re all forks of existing projects from another org that sold off to some weird tech company. That company filled the apps with ads while stopping development so a contributer to the original project started fosify. Gotta love free and open source software if it wasn’t for it all these apps would be abandonware and adware forever

Hamachi is easier to get others to use I’ve found. When we just want to game getting somebody to install a different application can cause frustration, anger, and a quoting mentality. Some people are just stuck in their ways.

Doesn’t matter how easy it’s to do, how you’ll guide them through each step, some people are just stuck in their ways and many people are atleast familiar with hamachi

Glad you’re using GOG too. Great platform considering the alternatives

OK, I think the real solution is that I’m never using Gumroad again. Sad, as some really good dnd stuff was there

Normally I’d say fuck Nintendo but palworld obviously stole the designs and artistic direction for many of their characters.

Most of the pals I saw at first were modified versions of an already existant pokemon with little to seperate it from fan art of that pokemon. This is particularly agregoous as they clashed against the rest of this games aesthetic. Nothing that was original fit with the design of the pokemon rip offs.

Many other games have a pokemon esque aesthetic without direct copying. It looking similar is not my issue. My issue is that while playing I could easily name most pals to a pokemon. Seriously, look up comparisons. It’s blatant.

They’ve moved away from thisbrecently but fuck man if it ain’t obvious. If they did the same to some small project I’d assume people would be much more up in arms, rightfully so.

Still though, I won’t cry if Nintendo loses. I hope they pay an insane amount in lawyers fees either way and never see a dime out of the case

All hail the cuck license, ensuring we end up back at the same place every single time.

Good intentions and all that
