  • Doesn’t even startup on my box,

    It needs to startup and then go to that point (after you select the projection) to cause the crash.
    It definitely caused something other than the application to get into an invalid state. Which is why I am apprehensive about trying it out again to answer your comment. Probably was the display driver, which is why it didn’t just turn off after that.


  • There’s this game “HyperRougue”. Run it on Arch.

    hyperrogue-git version 13.0d.r60.g27fb2d92-1

    Go to settings -> 3D configuration -> projection -> projection type -> . Cycle through the projection types. One of them causes something good enough to call a crash.

    I don’t remember anymore if it was just a display driver crash or a kernel crash and I haven’t updated to a newer version (which might have fixed it).








  • Or it could just be laziness.

    In case you don’t want to put the effort into making a system into your organisation, to update code in a public-facing versioning system hosted setup, just tell someone to zip whatever you compiled and package it along with the rest of the stuff.

    • Packaging the whole .git directory would make it significantly larger
    • This method is bankruptcy-safe, as compared to hosting on the internet.
      • Ideally, I would like there to be both, a zip (in case I don’t have an internet atm) and a link to the vcs
    • Yes, the companies mostly don’t care enough and people doing it won’t think of it as being hostile, just as putting the least effort.

  • simply zip up their code and send it to the AGPL’ed software owner

    That seems good enough to me. No?

    Sure, it would be nice to have the whole versioning system history, but even having the current version of the code makes it possible to do a code review. And modification too.

    Self-Building and deployment might turn out to be harder, but that would just be about which side is having to put the effort of making something comprehensive.
