For offline software I wouldn’t consider it a problem, but for something that connects to the internet I would want it to have the latest versions of its dependencies.
It looks like the dev has been updating their funding details recently, hopefully they have an update planned.

There is some lemmy.world sure but also:
If a topic suits the philosophy of its lemmy instance its more likely to attract a healthy population. Then when I’m looking for a community on a topic it doesn’t really matter which instance that community is on.
problem is I have no idea which of these communities is “best”
Its a bit basic but so far I’ve just gone with the largest population. Usually I’m just after the most activity and that generally scales with population. It keeps things relatively simple.
This name already means something :/
Yes, that kind of packaging is exactly what he is fighting!
came out of nowhere?
I don’t think anyone expected MS-DOS 4.0 (1986) to release under the MIT license in 2024
This is something I’ve taken for granted as per app volume control is integrated into the OS on Motorola phones and I’ve been using mid range Motorolas since the Moto G 4 in 2016 (they offer a reasonable price, reasonable performance, microSD card and headphone jack).
Then I was setting up a Samsung tablet last weekend and was horrified to see I had to use the Samsung store to download Sound Assistant for something I had just assumed was a standard OS feature for close to a decade.
The problem wasn’t that the line I wanted wasn’t on the page—it’s that the whole document wasn’t being rendered at once, so my browser’s builtin search bar just couldn’t find it.
I feel like this has been the case for a while now. Luckily they offer other search tools so its a gotcha that you only have to hit once.
In edit mode they capture the crtl-f keystrokes and offer their own search and replace tool. An argument could be made that they should offer a custom search tool for read mode if they are going to break the browsers built in tooling.
On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.
The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.
In this case it is: https://watchdominion.org/
Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.
They IP blocked me on their official site
So,… What did you do?
Yeah as far as gameplay mechanics go they would be fine, most main line Mario games have a unique gimmick.
I wonder if the family friendly branding would be as strong if people could publish rom hacks in retail channels.
For a company that is iterating on its products this is probably fine from a mechanical sense but would be a nightmare for their IPs.
Consider the early Super Mario series:
If in 1990/people could legally make their own “lost levels”-esque remixes with the SMB1 engine that would be paltry competition with SMW.
Similarly if people started remixing SMW in 1995 it wouldn’t have stopped SM64 from defining the 3d platformer genre and presenting a very strong argument for the analog stick being required for any 3d console.
But if people could tell their own Mario stories, that might tarnish the brand. If that happened we might not still be getting Mario games today.
I’m not sure how you open source both engine and assets without losing control of the narrative.
True, “community” might not be the right term.
But nonetheless if the OG developer structures their license so that each version becomes open source after 5 years then people publishing that as is or creating forks will always be a few steps behind the official release.
Of course if the title has any kind of community support that crowd sourced effort has the potential to outshine the OG developer, its important they time their license to give themselves a head start.
I think Friday Night Funkin’ will turn into a cautionary tale here, by releasing their game with much hype and open sourcing their code the first 7 weeks in 2020-21 they allowed community to really flourish. The player community has created content and then content that builds on and responds to that content (both narratively and mechanically) for several cycles now. Much of this content is now viewed as core to the FnF experience by players but much of it is also now built around other people’s IP (video games, TV shows, music, etc)
At the same time The Funkin’ Crew has been quietly working on Friday Night Funkin’: The Full Ass Game but I suspect that as a commercial game bound by the resources of single dev team and the rule of law they will be hard pressed to compete with the community they spawned.
While this is a win for remix culture it might not turn out as being the most prudent business decision. On the other hand they pulled off a two million dollar kickstarter so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the other hand if the code from the 5 year old release was open source but the updates from today was still closed source for another 5 years that would encourage continual improvement addition content to differentiate from the community releases.
Technically true.
You are right, having the password in the same vault does mean that if the vault itself is compromised they have both. Guess I could move the TOTP to a separate authenticator app but the only other apps I have a mobile only and there are times I need to login without having hands on my phone.
I guess the time based aspect of the TOTP makes it a little more resistant to having someone monitor my keystrokes or clipboard or whatever and capture a relatively long lived secret like my password. So I guess its a comprise I’m willing to make.
I generate a TOTP with my password manager, it stores all my other login details and keeps it simple.
Yep, app not found.

edit: but got 22 on Snake, which is nice.
I think this video is a extreme example of the problem.
Its a one hour video bookended with statements that the author doesn’t have time to make a better video.
0:00:15: Now I’ve written a lengthy script but I have no time to actually read it out correctly from memory so I think I’m just going to use it as notes and talk from the top of my head instead.
…
1:07:15: I’m kind of sad that I can’t do this review like better technically cuz i can’t afford to spend you know a month editing this video.
I this is the most effective search I could find:

Not great for a product that is not Mozilla’s Firefox Send!
