Hey. I pay good money for that.

I’m over here, buddy…

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Cause the nerds live underground…

Is there even any rules on VPNs? Wasn’t you just on holiday for a weekend?

It’s not that they don’t want from the UK, they just can’t be bothered to deal with the Online Safety Act.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

If it’s a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

Because it’s a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?

A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

Appreciate the feedback.

I’ve seen it one other time. If you see it again, feel free to report it. It definitely helps get visibility of it.

Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.

I’d have thought this a mid-level thing. Most seniors know the cost of complexity and KISS (Keep It simple Stupid).

Read the issue. It’s in there.

In the UK, auto-trader is used to sell used cars. I guess eBay or Gumtree (if it still exists) to sell stuff?

They have in Windows and Linux, just not MacOS. That is if you actually read what you posted. Or was that point not conducive to you looking for a stick to hit Mozilla with? (And there are plenty available)

I… like this joke and haven’t heard it before!

Is this allowed or do I have to shit on it to be cool?
