This is precisely my reason for why they should be public.
In my view downvotes should be used sparingly, only to suppress spam and trolling comments that don’t add to the conversation.
By keeping votes private people just downvote anything they disagree with
The game itself is cheaper than that. I suspect they chose to pay for a deluxe edition
You don’t need to apologise.
Given that you thought they were trying to provoke you, your response was really relaxed and from it you got the clarity you needed.
Navigating the world of neurotypicals is hard but I think you’re doing fine.
understand what is the common idea about the fact that systemd could be a critical part of Linux which is in the hands of IBM and Microsoft and what this means for the linux community overall.
Either nobody cares, or it’s too much complottistic to be real.
I wasn’t familiar with the word complotism but yes I think this is the case - It’s just an unsubstantiated conspiracy.
Even if were true that Microsoft had taken over systemd by stealth. What is the harm? If they suddenly do something malicious with it then all the distros will just fork systemd and continue without the malicious elements.
I’ve read the update you made to your original post.
So I now understand your concern is Microsoft control systemd and the proof of that is that the project lead works for Microsoft? Is that the only proof?
I think it’s quite a grasp. There is no money in open source so the developers need jobs. In this case the developer happens to be employed by Microsoft.
I was impressed they resisted calling it micro$oft. That’s the usual sign of somebody adopting the tribal views of others.
In that case why not share your opinion?
Instead you’ve claimed you’re neutral and shared links to the views of 15 other people.
You haven’t even provided any context on these articles. Or quoted anything from them that you are concerned about.
Everything about this screams you’re asking in bad faith just hoping to waste people’s time or start an argument.
You provided 15 links.
Are you seriously expecting somebody to walk you through each one?
You’re claiming not to care either way about systemd and yet you’ve provided 15 sources against it and apparently done zero research into why it has been so widely adopted.
Oh, OK that’s actually a bit more interesting. Does the combat system mean you can then invade their settlement and/or fight to control resources? If there were diplomacy mechanics as well it might interest me but I’m not overly interested in competitive mechanics in a city builder. I’d rather just relax and build an awesome community.
What is the clock deadline you’re racing against? That’s a very strange mechanic for a city builder.
From the trailer it looks really great but I’m very reluctant to purchase anything in early access
A coalition could achieve it, you wouldn’t need a majority.
We wouldn’t be in the dire mess we are now if the AV referendum had succeeded.
The best case scenario imo for the next election is reform continue to take votes away from the conservatives. The populace lose confidence in labour so they don’t secure enough votes for a majority. But they form a progressive alliance with libs and greens purely to enact electoral reform.
Once we have proportional representation a new election is immediately called and we finally have fair representation. Reform will get a ton of seats so they finally feel represented. Same for lib dems and green.
It’s not immediately clear what it is you’re trying to achieve, but if you were able to solve it in Godot then you can probably solve it with Bevy it’s an ECS based game engine for Rust.
I’ve been incredibly impressed with it so far, and they’ve got a rapid rate of development so it’s improving fast.
The recent v0.15 release integrated support for picking that includes specific events for drag and drop:

You can find some UI examples here, none specifically show drag and drop as far as I can see. There are separately some examples of picking that you might want to look at

Capitalism. If the market is able to pay more then the company will demand more
This is so absurd. If water availability is a limiting factor then why the hell would you build it in the south. Scotland and the North get plenty of rainfall, and there’s an abundance of reservoirs.
Kielder is the largest reservoir by volume in Europe. It was built to supply industry in the North East. That industry no longer exists so the reservoir has a ridiculous excess capacity. So why not build the damn datacenter close to Newcastle.
Well, the latest development I’ve seen is they’re deleting (censoring) comments calling out the political bias of their CEO on their post about how they’re fighting against censorship:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1ij4qn9/behind_the_scenes_of_proton_vpns_fight_against/
Here’s an evidenced account of part of what their CEO asserted:
This is what the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team stated in a response on r/ProtonMail:
Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:
Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.
Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.
At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.
By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.
Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

To call out the important bits:
That was posted in ther/ProtonMail sub where the majority of the event took place: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/so_that_happened/m7ahrlm/
However be aware that the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team kept editing his comments so I wouldn’t trust the current state of it. Plus the proton team/subreddit mods deleted a ton of discussion they didn’t like. Therefore this archive link captured the day after might show more but not all: https://web.archive.org/web/20250116060727/https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/so_that_happened/m7ahrlm/
Some statements were made on Mastodon but these are subsequently deleted, but they’re capture by an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115165213/https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
I learned about it from an r/privacy thread but true to their reputation the mods there also went on a deletion spree and removed the entire post: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/
This archive link might show more but I’ve not checked: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115193443/https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/
There’s also this lemmy discussion from the day after but by that point the Proton team had fully kicked in their censorship so I don’t know how much people were aware of (apologies I don’t know how to make a generic lemmy link) https://feddit.uk/post/22741653
Can you share more info about it? Why did you choose it, any pros or cons? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.
Clearly I got sidetracked at the end there. Yes, I definitely meant to conclude people need to vote for parties that support proportional representation.
While the labour membership overwhelming support PR the party itself will never adopt it. And yet their membership repeatedly vote for anti democratic authoritarianism
This is the kind of authoritarian bullshit that Labour always try.
I can never comprehend why so many people who care about their rights support Labour when they really are very similar to the conservatives in many ways.
Our system isn’t like America where it’s a choice between red or blue. We have viable smaller parties.
Stop voting for authoritarians who enforce first past the post to diminish your democratic vote.
Start exploring whether Lib Dem, Green, or literally anyone might share your views.
The article specifically states rackspace are only moving 50 VMs.
The client moving 40,000 is unnamed.
You have no reason to so I presume you haven’t.
If we were actually in a discussion and you started downvoting all my comments I’d see it as a sign of pettiness and disengage.
I’d probably also tag you as a reminder to myself not to engage with you again.
