I didnโ€™t hear about this project until you posted about it being taken down. I love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series so Iโ€™m really excited this is back up!

Good reminder to mirror a repo to your local git instance if you run one ๐Ÿ˜€

Honestly, why not make something like in the spirit of Freedoom? But knowing the people that are TOO USED to TF2, they won't even try it because "the characters are different and the weapons are different" Blah blah blah, basically that.

Desmond Tutuโ€™s long history of fighting for lesbian and gay rights


"Tutuโ€™s equation of black civil rights and lesbian and gay rights is part of a broader South African narrative and dates back to the days of the apartheid struggle. Openly gay anti-apartheid activists, such as Simon Nkoli, had actively participated in the liberation movement, and had successfully intertwined the struggles against racism and homophobia.

"On the basis of this history, South Africaโ€™s Constitution, adopted in 1996, included a non-discrimination clause that lists sexual orientation, alongside race and other characteristics. It was the first country in the world to do so, and Tutu had actively lobbied for it.

"A decade later, South Africa became the sixth country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage."

Is Free And Open Source Software The Best We Can Do? #Linux #OpenSource #YouTube youtu.be/ieFXnvsn3-g
in reply to Brodie Robertson

actually, I usually use "FLOSS" (Free, Libre, and OpenSource Software), because well, it makes you smile ๐Ÿ˜„
in reply to Brodie Robertson

free, possibly. Open source, definitemy not. What these miss is a non-commercial obligation. I know it would not be free by the current fsf definition, and I don't care.

great. Kernel level anticheat will solve everything guys trust me is safer. Wine is huge security issue
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

league become unplayable very long time ago many years ago, for some time there were some "hack" to still keep it working by patching wine and recompiling it - lots of fun.
But ye - no one care about 0.5%, corporations rush for profit and target only majority.

Valve announces new rules for games with AI Content on Steam gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/valvโ€ฆ

#Steam #AI #AIArt #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Not bad rules, actually. Very basic and not too restrictive. Basically, don't use AI to do anything illegal or disruptive. That's how it should be.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

the announcement feels a bit lazy. They don't even say what AI stands for, let alone define what are they calling Artificial Intelligence (if it's that what they are talking about).

Shadows of Doubt should now be labeled as an "AI game" since it uses AI techniques to live-generate content?



A friend of mine, Elizabeth Barsham, just had this painting "At Home in the Woods" sold. She gets frustrated when people call her works "surreal". I know her because we are both scifi geeks. If you look at some of her paintings you can see inspiration in the sort of art that graced the covers of old science fiction books!
in reply to Muse

Yup. That's easily a 70s science fiction cover, perhaps for Ursula K. LeGuin's The Word for World is Forest.
in reply to Muse

We met in part at the Melbourne Science Fiction Club. The art world doesn't get that they are also a type of fandom!

Born in 1794, pioneering marine biologist Jeannette Villepreux-Power collected specimens from local fisherman in Sicily for study. She built a natural history collection & was especially interested in cephalopods like octopus & squid ๐Ÿ™.

Villepreux-Power invented the modern aquarium was one of the first people to observe living cephalopods & their behaviors.

Unfortunately, much of her work & collections were lost in a shipwreck in 1843. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanneโ€ฆ #HistoryRemix #science #history

perhaps a #EarlyWomenInScience is called for? I'm amazed at the significant work women have done WHEN the prevailing wisdom was that women couldn't/ shouldn't do this.
