The world gen combat system is a lot more forgiving than the normal combat system for sure.

I use Kubuntu 24.04 on a Ryzen 9 7900, 32GB RAM with a Radeon RX 7800 XT

I think the whole GNU/Linux made sense in like 1996 when your system would've been mostly GNU. Today a desktop has many large subsystems. Personally I wish people would just use their distro to describe their operating system. That's probably the most dense/useful description you can give.

They talked about it being a f2p boss. But never added it because I think balancing it for both f2p and p2p would've been too difficult. Really is a shame though considering the lack of f2p bosses.

No other real benefits at the moment, but more holdings and world interactions are something that's probably planned.

It adds to your fortress' total wealth for the purposes of prestige and migrants. With more holdings, eventually your Baron can become a Count and your fortress a county. Then a Duke with a duchy and eventually a monarch.
You can also send dwarfs there or use a messager to retrieve them.

As someone who has played OSRS, WoW and FF14 to a large extend, in addition to many other smaller MMOs. All communities talk down on other games, a player base has a vested interest in making sure their game stays relevant. This isn't something unique to OSRS.

Clearly you should've installed Temple OS. That's the only OS that demons are actually afraid of.

I use Linux and GIMP. But I'm not a professional photographer/artist. Please understand the tools needed aren't provided by GIMP and the UI/UX for their workflows are poor. I hope this will change with GIMP3, but people need to stop telling people to use GIMP when it doesn't suit their use case.

I think this is pretty understandable under a belief of not being wasteful. If a corpse can be eaten instead then other life won't have to be killed or harvested for food. There are also true life cultures who will consume a slain enemy or even dead family members, mostly for spiritual reasons.

One of the wildest aspect of Dwarf Fortress elves, is that they're coded to dislike torture in all cases, such as punishment, or to extract information. However they do find it acceptable to torture someone to make an example out of them. Hard to wrap my head around this view.

In which case there's going to be a whole process to ensure against leaks. Often times companies have to hire special "dirty" teams so their in house teams won't get to see the actual code, they can only interact though this party.

It's very rare that you're not allowed to use a program's source but still able to obtain it. You generally have to be an enterprise customer and on the rare times it happens it's generally to audit the source for security concerns.

If someone did manage to compile exactly the same binary, I'm not sure anyone would actually care if you used that binary. After all there would be absolutely no changes made, it would be identical.
comment in response to
post
In short, when you compile a binary it's still just data, and if you recompile often even without alterations, the binary will be different. Compilers often put metadata like the compiled date or other stuff that's different.
comment in response to
post
If you're asking if someone sends both a binary and the source code, but the source code is private. How would someone know that redistribution is of the binary and not the source code?
Not 100% sure I understand the question.

It depends on the parts you want to cut. For example, without systemd journal system. Good luck reading any log files. Almost every other UNIX service is capable of writing logs in text which can be read with any editor or tooled with any shell script.

But their total dismissal of any of the criticism sent their direction is part of the reason why they've made so many enemies in the Linux sysdev space. It's also resulted in unfair dog piling with illegitimate criticisms.
It's possible for something to be problematic and also treated be unfairly.
comment in response to
post
I actually use and arguably like systemd (as much as someone can like an init system). It's does a better job than any other tool in providing a good experience. I also think a lot of criticism is invalid or made up. But lots of criticism to me feels completely valid.

Then myth 21 isn't a myth, it's incompatible is a fact. Saying "we try hard" to make it compatible doesn't make it any more compatible than it is. I think the response it self can't shy away from the current state of compatibility.

Point six, they themselves mention that the "modularity is not totally unlike the one of the Linux kernel." But the Linux Kernel is monolithic which contradicts the first "myth" they bust.
At least some of the points within the article are completely self-contradictory.

While this might be the effective results. But since the artist's original art is used to train the models, typically without their permission. It contains an element of thief which doesn't exist for website creation tools.
So I think on a moral plane it falls to a different degree.

As a DM, I'll often just roll some dice, to hear them make noises before I decide if something like this goes horribly wrong or not.

Think of it like this: systemd isn't like mayo. It's more like a blend of 7 herbs and species. If you just want 4 spices from systemd, and replace 3 you can't do that. You get all 7 or none at all. If you chose none, finding good alternatives for some of the spices will be hard or even impossible.

I think there are probably people who are stuck using certain parts of systemd they don't want to use. The fundamental issue at play here is that systemd isn't just one component. It's a whole tool box.
comment in response to
post
There's also an edge case where systemd's binary logging system might make troubleshooting difficult. If systemd breaks somehow, you might not be able to use systemd's journald to read the logs, or logs might never be created in the first place.
This could be avoided if they switched to text logs.

Now that most major distros only support systemd, other alternatives get less attention, bug fixes, features, etc. So in someways this is seen as a harm to the overall ecosystem.
comment in response to
post
But if you're building for an embedded system, mobile device, or a lightweight desktop. You're probably going to want to exclude systemd as it's monolithic design and feature set are over kill.
comment in response to
post
I think most desktop users will never know what systemd is or does. I actually do think systemd's approach is overall better for the average user. Because all the components are only designed to work with systemd you don't have to worry compatibility issues and have fewer edge cases.
comment in response to
post
Systemd developers could've chosen to make it's components more modular, or to use text log files since that makes system recovery easier. But they've mostly ignored these complaints.
At this point though, for better or worse, we've walked down this path and I don't think there's anyway out of it.
comment in response to
post
It uses a lot of design choices which make it incompatible with replacing components of it. So you can't pick and use parts of systemd and something else for the other parts.
This why it's adoption has been so universal, for certain things it does there aren't good alternatives.
comment in response to
post
Most of the popular distros only support systemd. Fedora, Debian (and Debian based distros), Arch, SUSE and can't run without it.
So for a lot of people get the option of staying with their favorite distro not at all. It's like if most sandwich shop in your city only served sandwiches mayonnaise.

I've personally never seen the appeal of Chromebooks, especially since you can just get an android tablet that can do what a Chromebook can and more. They must be somewhat popular since google hasn't killed it yet, but replacing the OS is probably a way to "soft" kill the ChromeOS project.
