If someone drive a truck full of money up to my house, I’d be hard pressed to say no. See Notch and Minecraft.

Yeah. I’ve had a craftable recipe for saddles since a couple days after they came out on my minecraft server. Recipes that make players generate square kilometres of useless terrain chunks searching for items drive me batty.

Or a manky Signal clone with backdoors transmitting everything in plain text…

Down 5% today, not super stable. Could have been a dead cat bounce last week.

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they’d probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there’s a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

The cheaters and cheat developers will just move to Windows, and the legitimate Linux users will quit. I don’t see the upside, this doesn’t solve the problem.

She did the Goblins webcomic animated trailer allng with Phil Lamarr! Super stoked for that.

Most package managers store md5sums. A few times I’ve used that to validate package binaries. I’m not sure what tool you’d use for it, since I always just whip up a bash one-liner for it.

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.

“Hey let’s make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds”

I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.

They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.

I’m hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that ‘growth at any cost’ mindset.

I didn’t say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.

This is a perfect example of someone saying “I like beans” and someone responding “WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER” or something. :P

It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.

Honestly doesn’t sound like a terrible idea on paper, but this spam outbreak could kill it before it gets off paper in a real way. Giving devs a bad taste will stay around a long while.

Edit: and of course the well-earned general attitude toward cryptocurrency as scammer playgrounds is automatically putting it way in the red too.

It’s so easy to run your own DNS servers, I don’t expect that it’ll be offline long, unless it’s the registrar.
