That is very weird, especially as it was renewed in 2024.

Also appears the Canada is a company in Texas:

You have an interesting definition of “good things” my friend. As far as I can tell, it is down, which is why I didn’t put a content warning on it.

It still is a thing in some fonts: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/font-ligatures-for-your-code-editor-and-terminal

Took me a while to work out what they were called. Font rendering is hard :(

That is quite a unique quip. I love the idea of geo-based rendering, every application that renders text needs location access to be strictly correct :D.

I’d go further with the codepoint reduction, and delete w (can use uu) instead, and delete k (hard c can take its place)

weird o with the leg

Can you elaborate? Do you mean Q or p?

It’s why shareholders (ultra wealthy people) are the enemy of art and why publicly traded studios all go to shit after enough time.

No arguments there…

Your probably right, but gaming company’s do plenty of other risky stuff, like Concord etc. Would have been nice if they had at least tried to make a sims along the way.

The games industry is more than happy to throw away billions churning out copy-cat games, that compete in incredibly crowded genres, so it would have been nice if they had at least tried to compete in the one genre with only a single competitor. Its kinda funny that TS4s biggest competitor is TS3.

Its a big piece of work sure, but there haven’t even been attempts (that I know of).

And sims is priced so high (with all the expansions) that getting in that market seems feasable if one of the big names wanted to try.

Seems worth an attempt, rather than churning out copy-cat FPS/dots/battle royals/flavour-of-the-month games :/

EA have been pulling their shit for decades though, so its surprising no one has tried to eat their lunch before now.

Its kinda bizarre that there are so few Sims clones/replacements.

I’ve clicked the “install updates tonight” button a bunch of times, it consistently fails to update and then I have to force it to update the next morning. Incredibly poor experience.

Same. Super easy to do, easy to mirror repos, easy to keep offline…

My repo is fine, because its not online. Keeping them online is just silly.

“I want a puppet”

Tech speeds things up. If you want to do good, it’ll help you do it faster. If you want to do evil, it’ll help you do it faster.

I’ve been pronouncing it N-gin-X, which is probably close enough once slurred together

What is openwebzine? Can’t find any info on it.

256gb of ram seems well beyond standard self-hosting, what are you planning on running?!

I did create a fork and MR, and neither used your runner (sorry if that is what spooked you).

Develop local and push remote also let’s you sanitize what is public and what isnt. Keep your half-backed personal projects local, push the good stuff to github for job opportunities.
