Most people are incompetent and would die in nature

That's the problem, and the cause of "inequality"

This #FursuitFriday a Drgn poses with his creation!

For ConFuzzled one year I built an oversized NES controller that ran a Pi with a NES emulator on.

The buttons were simple wood flaps with guitar stomp pedal switches in. So we're fairly robust things o.o

Was very pleased with how it came together ^_^ it kinda required 2 people to play!

Pest is too. "I maded dis!"

This reminds me of a set up from the kids area of the Disney Magic (cruise ship) from the early miasma of my childhood memory. Theirs was a giant PSX controller. I don't know why, but giant controllers are just so cool!

i think game companies are finally realizing that [checks notes] letting your workers actually finish what they're working on is better than [checks notes again] rushing unfinished product out the door for profit because you can actually maximize profit by making better products that are complete

funny how these business folks have to relearn these concepts through brute force

now that microtransactions are hated (as well as EU starting to crack down on it as well), they don't have an infinite money glitch anymore. So quality is starting to matter more (as someone trying to develop their own game)

The Petalinux third party EULA from Xilinx is 287MB of raw ASCII text.

To compare, a King James Bible is about 4.3MB.

Average speeding speed reportedly peaks around 350 wpm.

Approximately 780,000 words in the bible (average word length is thus about 6).

So the average person could in theory read a bible through in about 37 hrs, or reading for 8 hours a day, about 5 days.

To read through this very important license agreement, at the same rate, would take just shy of 300 days (with no days off).

I'm told online that company legal reps start at about $100 an hour. So we're looking at an estimated low end cost to review the EULA by legal of $238,000.

Yeah. I'm sure every company using Petalinx does that.

Common tactic. Acres of boilerplate. AI now makes generating this trivial. And, some can and will hide neat traps in there. I read about one that when two clauses were combined meant the charges went up by the standard percentage amount every year, but the technical start date was moved back decades, so the calculation was something like 3% over inflation for 25 years, applied to the small headline figure! Obviously this became a huge sum.

Tursilion mastodon (AP)

@Dss yeah, wasn't new to me, just what annoyed me yesterday. ;)

Though this wasn't AI, they just gathered every license for every package they included in the nearly 3GB of mostly open-source software, and pasted it all together, whether there were duplicates or not. I bet even Xilinx's lawyers don't know what's in there.

Crazy on that example you gave though.

Tursilion mastodon (AP)
Amusingly, I'm pretty sure it's all moot because it's distributed in a single, executable installer program. And contains components that are licensed under GPLv2. I don't know if there's an exception for installers but to my eyes, that's all linked together as a single executable. ;) But I'm not legal, I don't make $100 an hour.

I started poking around AO3 (archiveofourown) a few days ago looking for more stuff I might be interested in, and was surprised how quickly I found stuff I was interested in. For example, this (a nice little vignette with foxtaurs in), and this (a short sciencey-fictiony story about a faceless drone collective).

I'm working on my own stuff to put out there too, but it's going oh-so-slowly. I want to show it to people who might be interested, but I want to show them finished things instead of janky agglomerations of half-finished stuff.

And in even more Nintendo hates it's customers and game preservation news, The latest update to their TOS says that they can disable your Switch if you modify it or do other legal things like use it to back up your games.

They're really showing their colors here. And they're not cheery ones.

Horrible decision Netflix. So pissed they're taking off a wonderful episode of Black Mirror (which now has a sequel of sorts in the new season) and there probably isn't going to be a way to get a physical copy.

Thereโ€™s something about sharing the days, the quiet moments and the loud ones, that builds a life together almost without noticing.

Years go by, and still, sitting side by side feels like the best place to be. From dating, then to living together, to calling this a family, Iโ€™m just grateful we keep choosing each other.

Two years married today, but in reality, weโ€™ve been a family for way more.
