Valve is holding the carrot, Microsoft the stick.

Thank you for your sacrifice. If I ever had a hint of an inclination to disregard the common wisdom and try reddit's official app, now it's permanently gone.

Friendly, and unsolicited reminder that the Minetest engine + its game Mineclonia (or alternatively Voxelibre) are a pretty good open source alternative as of late.
Minetest is also getting some pretty nice upgrades to its graphics lately. The upcoming release should be looking quite pretty.

Here's a tip for YouTube, than might come in handy.
In videos that have subtitles available, you can go to the bottom of the description and hit the Show Transcript button. It opens the transcript on the right, and you can search in it. The negatives are that it's not always available, and when it is, and it's automatically generated, it might be inaccurate/misspelled, especially for niche technical terms.

My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for "(in) my ass", if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game's visionary inventor.

What? EEVEE is evolving!
EEVEE evolved into RAYTHEON!

So, are we calling Aragorn's father-in-law a liar?
(I know Aragorn only counts as a measly 99.9% as man in this instance)

Btw, mineclone2 also rebranded as Voxelibre, months ago, and for the same reasons. Voxelibre now actively moves away from copying Minecraft exactly.
If you want the closest copy (and my personal recommendation) check out Mineclonia.

If you think this is anything new you should look up who coincidentally invented the autopilot for airplanes and the mile high club.

Two of them died*. The second one happened to have some good connections with the higher ups.

Ah yes, China's and India's rivalry over supremacy over East Asia wasn't enough. Now they can have KSA and Iran fighting over the Middle East, plus Egypt and Ethiopia ready to go to war over a dam, under the same banner. I guess if half the members of a consortium want to murder the other half it balances out?

I had noticed that we've been pretty high on global statistics for years, but hadn't seen anyone point it out.
Και το βλέπεις και στη πράξη, οι linuxάδες δεν είναι σπάνιοι, και όταν μιλάς σε τεχνικούς/support δεν σε κοιτάνε σαν εξωγήινο αν ακούσουν για Linux.

The grain makes it look like he was using some ray tracing algorithm he had secretly developed, but he hadn't figured out denoising yet.

It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.
