workethics··on Battle for Wesnoth: open-source, turn-based strategy game
Mindustry is worth a look if you like factorio and tower defense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindustry

Edited to add:

If you like RTS then Beyond All Reason is fantastic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_All_Reason

workethics··on GitHub having issues [resolved]
I only found this post because I decided to check HN after getting HTTP 500 errors pulling some repos.
workethics··on Just the Browser
People don't hate them for trying new things, they hate them for making the new things the only option.
workethics··on This website is for humans
> That said ... putting part of your soul into machine format so you can put it on on the big shared machine using your personal machine and expecting that only other really truly quintessentially proper personal machines receive it and those soulless other machines don't ... is strange.

That's a mischaracterization of most people want. When I put out a bowl of candy for Halloween I'm fine with EVERYONE taking some candy. But these companies are the equivalent of the asshole that dumps the whole bowl into their bag.

workethics··on KiCad and Wayland Support
This reminds me that I was recently using tracy to profile a program and found their own list of valid grievances, altough it's a bit more GNOME inflicted: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/issues/505#issuecomment-136...
workethics··on WebShield – A new wide-spectrum content blocker for Safari
I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.

People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.

Or after they went closed-source.

Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.

Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.

workethics··on CamelCase vs underscores: Scientific showdown (2011)
In that example foo is the important aspect, so it should be the leading element:

  foo
  fooModified
workethics··on KeePassXC Debian maintainer has removed all network features
Good to know. I think this should probably be it's own post

workethics··on Reddit CEO Says Mods Too Powerful, Plans to Weaken After Blackout
They (or someone at least) are definitely using bots: https://i.imgur.com/4e9jO7P.jpg
workethics··on Zig is hard but worth it
Not only that, but zig makes linking against old glibc versions easy. For example, to make an x86_64 linux build linked against glibc 2.9 when using zig build all you have to do is pass:

  -Dtarget=x86_64-linux-gnu.2.9
workethics··on Reddit Data API Update: Changes to Pushshift Access
This is probably going to be Reddit's Digg moment for me. The sad thing is there isn't really a suitable replacement available. HN is the closest experience to early Reddit and I wouldn't be surprised if the site's traffic ramps up noticeably over the next couple months.
workethics··on A eulogy for Dark Sky, a data visualization masterpiece
https://merrysky.net/ comes pretty close!
workethics··on LemmyBB, a federated bulletin board
I never said you shouldn't? I was only backing up the other commentor's claim since many people might think he's being hyperbolic rather than them overtly spelling it out on their site.
workethics··on LemmyBB, a federated bulletin board
It should be noted that this isn't an exaggeration. For a long time they actually had in the sidebar on lemmy.ml that it was the main Marxist instance. I'd link an archive but the site's design makes every one I can find pull the new info.
workethics··on Open Source PC That Fits in Your Pocket
This may be a weird recommendation but the steam deck may be something to consider if your docks have a usb c connector.

It's nearly as powerful as my desktop, and I can't find any laptops/portaPCs with similar specs at that pricepoint.

workethics··on Ask HN: Discord banned me with no recourse
They probably use the user's social graph. Taking all those precautions won't help if the new account just rejoins the same servers and talks to the same people as the banned account.
workethics··on LastPass says no passwords were compromised following breach scare
Sorry for being obtuse, but FF only allows me to put in a website to save passwords. How would I use this for an extra-browser application (steam for example)?
workethics··on LastPass says no passwords were compromised following breach scare
How do you manage passwords for things outside of the browser?
workethics··on Ask HN: I feel trapped in my job and city
So, in earnest, I don't see what the parent comment said that deserves them to be called an asshole. I actually see you calling them an asshole as much more rude than anything they said.

I figure there's some social implication that I'm missing. Would you mind breaking down the thought process for your reply?

workethics··on Git undo: We can do better
I feel like an outcast after reading all the comments here. I've never really had issues using git. I didn't realize so many people had trouble with it.
workethics··on Show HN: Find Subreddits for Your Niche
> I've used reddit for 10 years.

I believe that's why you think that. I feel that reddit started to go downhill after 2011, which was 10 years ago. So if that's when you joined you wouldn't have experienced what it was like before to feel that way.

workethics··on Facebook does not plan to notify half-billion users affected by data leak
It's because SMS works without data.

I doubt that most of the people that complain about SMS live in rural areas. It seems to be more of a US thing. The country is so large that unless you live in a city you just won't be able to get data reliably. This leaves SMS as the only form of phone communication that isn't a voice call.

workethics··on GitHub was down
Kallithea[0] has support for both. You might want to test it out and see if it's a good fit for your setup. I enjoyed working with it when when I used it.

workethics··on Zachtronics: Ten Years of Terrible Games (2017) [video]
What point are you trying to make?

Throwing around the n-word makes him a bigot, not right-wing.

Alright then
workethics··on Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements
If you're using pfsense, why not just use pfBlockerNG-dev?
workethics··on ZeroNet – Decentralized websites using Bitcoin crypto and BitTorrent network
While it supports tor, ZeroNet is more about decentralization than it is about anonymity.
