  • You end up saying something similar to yourself after you read and fail to understand a LKML archive because it’s the only available documentation on this specific flag that you may or may not need and if you don’t need it why not turn it off. Repeat this many times for much learning (eventually).

    It was a great experience but next time I’m building everything not strictly necessary as a module.






  • The more relevant section is here

    “It’s not uncommon for larger game companies like Bethesda to have mixed reactions to fan-made projects of this scale, we saw this with things such as Fallout: The Frontier,” says Carter, referencing the game-sized mod for Fallout: New Vegas that launched in 2021. “They often tolerate projects’ like ours’ existence as long as they don’t infringe on their intellectual property or negatively impact their brand.”

    That said, I agree with you. The Frontier had issues because they put problematic shit in their mod. Bethesda has explicitly given shoutouts to Sim Settlements (I’m pretty sure there’s others) in the recent past.











  • Skipping past the obvious of paying off debts and buying a decent house, I’d do this:

    Found a company to sell tech products (Pinephone, but cooler). Only the best benefits, work environment, basically everything I hate about any job I’ve worked, fixed. I’d hire good people, and make damn sure they’re treated well. After everything is going well and with some kind of charter so they can’t decide to be evil, I’d turn the company over to my employees. I’d step down and become a janitor or something and work ~20 hours a week until I retire.

    Whatever money’s left over, if there is any, is given away.

    I want to work. I like working. I just want to work somewhere good, ya know?

    I’d just buy my employer but they made ~450m Euro after taxes so they might want more than a billion. Also fuck audits.
