There is precedent for an import economy for California - we already are an effective energy bubble (importing the majority of our oil from tankers) due to our geographical separation from the rest of the US.

That being said, I would place my money on our population centers using their economic power to “convince” the farming parts of California to stick around.

A union with Oregon and Washington state would be nice too (us west coasters should work together)

The US government LMAO

Alright, after checking Polygon, GamesRadar, and IGN articles, there are mentions of DRM but not the malware payloads (I guess the original article I looked at might have conflated this guy with someone else). I’ll retract that part of the statement.

It’s a bit of telephone, I got that segment from an article discussing the topic. Let me see if I can locate it.

Oh for fucks sake, can you just increment your alt counter already? I’ll start the modmail again…

Nah, there’s an in-joke that there’s a lot of overlap for people in all 3 simultaneously (Heavy online presence in communities with an emphasis on allowing people to express themselves how they please).

Linux may just be a coincidence though, similar to the Furry/IT overlap.

Oh boy, if you haven’t played Half Life Alyx you’re in for a treat.

Oh, I bet. They probably hate GrayJay more though.

GrapheneOS is luckily out of their jurisdiction :)

Lineage, Graphene, and /e/ OS are all forks I believe, not alternatives (since they are dependent on the main Android branch for some updates and feature implementations).

Linux phones don’t really have enough support for the necessary applications to be viable for most people, at least for now.

Then it’ll be moved to a self-hosted git in a country where that doesn’t matter. Or the scene will host copies.

The modder in question for this case is not above placing DRM within his paid mods to prevent free distribution. So I’m skeptical of any system of monetization not immediately succumbing to malicious compliance.

Mods are by the community, for the community. If your mod has enough significance that you believe it is worth monetizing - create your own game with the endless amount of tools available with that hallmark feature. (Or actually talk to the devs to work out an official arrangement rather than being a hardass and witnessing the consequences of your arrogance)

…you are aware of the perverse incentives that kind of system would bring right?

“Here’s alpha 0.01. It gets to the title screen.”

“If you donate here’s version 2.00 to download with experimental (wink) features such as actual playthrough complete testing.”

Threadiverse doesn’t necessarily imply meta.
