@vertigo @requiem Forth is a pretty interesting language. It's just a bit on par with ASM in terms of cognitive load to develop for. But it's very light weight and cross architecture, so it's fairly versatile and useful in some spaces. The GA144 chip is an interesting example of what you can do with its light weight design.

@vertigo @requiem If I were going to start enhancing an old OS and adding drivers and such to it, I might actually go with Oberon. I just think that being an OS not written in C, C++, or Assembly, that it would be much more fun to play around with the inner workings. CollapseOS with its Forth-based system is the next one I'd look at. Oberon is a better programming language than forth though, IMO, for all but the very lowest end systems.

@stuff Interesting. I've actually been trying to figure out a good way to do rollbacks, ideally I'd want it on a system with ZFS so that I could just restore my database and then revert to an old snapshot on the pleroma folder, but my VPS doesn't use ZFS and doesn't have snapshots. Maybe just clone the folder and backup the database then remove the clone after you're sure it works.

After ages of trying to get a copy, Red Candle finally started selling Devotion themselves. https://shop.redcandlegames.com/

@Cheeseness @murks It's just the typical thing with trying to solve a problem with a rules based system. They see a problem with paid reviews that hurts their bottom line, they try to correct it... and end up over-correcting and making a different problem. Of course, this problem hurts them directly less than the prior one did.

@murks @Cheeseness Yeah, it also makes it so I can review very few games, since a huge number of my steam games came from either Kickstarter, Humble, or Itch.IO. I think I've only directly purchased a couple dozen games from Steam themselves, out of ~600.

@Cheeseness @murks That hurt a lot of kickstarter games, since on those it's the devs sending the keys out, so all the people who bought through the kickstarter couldn't review it.

@anime (I did wonder why he didn't A. take the orphans back to his town with his new magic user, or B. check the orphans for any talents they might have either.)

@anime The first follower seemed plausible, if you're filtering through an entire town for overlooked talent, finding one who everyone else would overlook for another reason seems realistic. The next two are progressively less realistic though, but yeah, Lydia makes a lot of sense.

@anime I've read through it up to now, it's quite good, I'll have to add that to my feed reader.

@QTpuff If grok isn't allowed on NA Social, I'm glad I'm running my own instance instead.

@tomasino Bing seems to do better then, but google has gotten rid of the translation entirely.

@stuff (It is a Legacy 36 Limited edition though, so it's very nice for a used car.)

@stuff I didn't want to buy new, and all they had on the lot used was that one Legacy 36, and a bunch of foresters and outbacks.

@stuff AWD cars are awesome. I took an AWD Jeep Compass rental over Monarch Pass in a blizzard and didn't slip once. Now I have my own Subaru Legacy AWD, and it's great.

@union So, I imagine if they pass it this will become a new tactic in the political game. Can you impeach the opposing president twice so that they fall under this act? Lets find out.

@stuff I like to have multiple feeds, like folders. If I have spare time, I'll go browse the noisy feed and see if there's anything interesting there. I usually don't read it in depth though, just skim it to see if there's anything interesting. I do the same thing with RSS, making a folder for sites that post 20+ times per day to isolate them from more important stuff I don't want to miss when skimming.

@union I've been thinking about making a separate account on my server just to follow people who post constantly, so that I can put all the noise in one place...

@jaycie $0. Since I pay $5 per month + $15/yr for a self-hosted server more tailored for my own needs, and allow list federation sounds very stifling.
