If a selling point was drastically redesigned UX I might give it a go. I hate how much the menus force you to wait in the game. Going to islands is a pain. That dumbass bird’s dialogue takes FOREVER. Letting multiple people join your island at once would be nice too. The method to buy items and clothes is so slow. Let me buy that shit more quickly. Let me craft shit more quickly. Little things like that are the worst.

Also, having more things to do in multiplayer would be good. Like some mini games or something. You can sort of make your own but it’s so minor. Running around pitfalls can only be so fun.

Another killer feature would be letting us make outdoor buildings, but I doubt they’d do something that involved.

Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

You don’t remember “Call me Auntie Wow”?

At the cluuuuub

Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn’t have and won’t ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.

(Coming from a SQLite fan.)

Honestly, this is always more effective than a comment in the config because it can get removed. All it would take is a popular guide having the config with that option on and the comment gone.

I think the ZIP standard has something similar and it causes similar problems.

Git is already a distributed version control system.

So fucking annoying of articles to be like “this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments” only to not provide a link.

Omniscient perspective is easy if you’re making a 2d game.

I think so. I read it a few months back, but I don’t use any apt based systems to check on.

I think you can do apt upgrade --update now.

Yeah I am very annoyed there aren’t many (or any?) very compact adapters.

The problem is that getting a new standard is gonna just mean more of the same shit with like a good ten years of swapping because USB is so widely used. USB ain’t perfect, I dislike a lot of things about it, but starting from scratch isn’t gonna improve things.

If it was the sort of magical scenario where everyone swapped overnight, hell yeah.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.

Like the old USB micros sort of?

You should take your own advice.

You end with

The “fistful of different cables to keep track of” is only getting worse as we head into the USB4 era and it needs to be kicked in the head and replaced entirely.

But started with

need an entirely unrelated team to invent something entirely new to replace it

You want more cables?

HDMI does not have screws.

Further, if you get code into the kernel, anyone who breaks it needs to fix it. So it seems to me it’s only a problem if you’re trying to do something like maintain a proprietary driver without putting it into the kernel? Or something to that effect?
