That goddamn Doctor Benny's box gets me every time, the fact that they even remixed the theme to match is just glorious.

GitLab has been working on support for ActivityPub/ForgeFed federation as well, currently only implemented for releases though.

And it's still entirely unrelated to my point, since SUSE will remain the trademark in question regardless of what's actually contained in OpenSUSE.

But yes, the free/open-source spins of things tend to have somewhat differing content compared to the commercial offering, usually for licensing or support reasons.
E.g. CentOS (when it still was a real thing)/AlmaLinux/etc supporting hardware that regular RHEL has dropped support for, while also not distributing core RedHat components like the subscription manager.

Not at all what my point was. There's indeed plenty of Open-something (or Libre-something) projects under the sun, but no free/open spins of commercial projects named simply "Open<Trademarked company name / commercial offering>".

To be fair, OpenSUSE is the only project with a name like that, so it makes some sense that they'd want it changed.
There's no OpenRedHat, no OpenNovell, no OpenLinspire, etc.

Mercurial does have a few things going for it, though for most use-cases it's behind Git in almost all metrics.

I really do like the fact that it keeps a commit number counter, it's a lot easier to know if "commit 405572" is newer than "commit 405488" after all, instead of Git's "commit ea43f56" vs "commit ab446f1". (Though Git does have the describe format, which helps somewhat in this regard. E.g. "0.95b-4204-g1e97859fb" being the 4204th commit after tag 0.95b)

Well, one available case you can look at is Uru: Live / Myst Online, currently running under the name Myst Online: Uru Live: Again.

They open-sourced their Dirt/Headspin/Plasma engine, which required stripping out - among other things - the PhysX code from it.

I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Completely blanked on early access pricing, so yes, if you bought it before release then it was likely cheaper still.

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 1 points 1 year ago

That is true, I didn't even think of early access.

It's reasonably easy to guess exactly what you paid for the game, since the only change in price since launch was a $5 bump in January last year. It's never been on sale.

It releases while I'm on the way back home from a trip to Manchester, might have to bring my Deck so I can play on the flight/train.

I will not be taking any questions.

 

I just love the very Factorio way to get rid of surplus - just toss it over the side.

 

Just continuing with all those quality of life improvements, absolutely loving what I'm seeing.

 

Looks like it's v2 time.

The btrfs-progs -side patch is here.

Looks like the Factorio devs are hard in on getting as many improvements into the game as they can in time for the DLC release.

 
 

More rail options sounds like it's going to improve the game tremendously as well, definitely looking like there'll be quite the QoL update alongside the upcoming DLC.

Some more interesting takes on optimization actually, the upcoming expansion / patch continues to look really interesting.

 

All I can say is; Oh dear.

The addictive optimization game adds even more methods of optimization to play with.
