im not a gamedev per-se, but in my opinion based on what i can see:

  1. give them ownership: maybe make a part or the whole game open source, to make sure they have something in return
  2. make them a part of your game: have characters or story based on your communities shenanigans?
  3. build a strong community: memes, active and kind mods, reports, you know, communities.

    Speaking from experience, whether you are religious or not, being kind to animals are a separate thing. What I can say though, devout Muslims that I knew are either animal lovers, or animal avoiders because they are scared by furry things.

    But being cruel to animals? I'm quite sure thats against our teaching though. Although we do slaughter animals for food, for example.

    Proprietary projects and clean room implementation is often done without having the source code first though, and a clean room implementation assumes its actually clean. meanwhile, most of llms nowadays cant be verifiably do clean room because the source code is probably there too.

    When Linus does clean room to make Linux, does he have access to the source code, or does he need to figure out things by himself and only match the interface later on?

    I'm sure both of us aren't good enough to solve this billion dollar problem, but saying its not a problem to steal someone's work, disregarding their license (even MIT requires attributions!), and releasing their mangled copy as a new product, is dystopian.

    The problem isnt the fact snippets exist in a codebase. The problem is, the entire fucking website is scraped clean of every codebase that has ever existed without paying a dime to their owner, notifying of their usage, and being transparent of their datasets.

    How can it be verifiably responsible if their activity is handwaved under the guise of "business secret"? Its literally people using other peoples work without fair compensation, which means stealing, which means someone has to pay.

    Dear community,

    Let's just say I'm a country that wants to create my own CPU only using knowledge/tech/techniques that are in the open and nothing proprietary. When I said CPU, let's just say something that can run a C program, and eventually the linux kernel.

    Is creating one out of publicly accessed knowledge and resources even possible, and how minuscule the tolerance need to be? Is there even a successful open CPU project out there?

    I'm asking this because of an anxiety that I have when knowing only several companies in the world know how to create a CPU.

     

    note: please tell me what you think of the app in the comments/issues, I would love to make the apps better!

    New Version, New Me

    Nine months have passed since the last update, it's time for a fresh start! This release is all about user experience, starting with the overhauled UI. Say goodbye to the dev-art which plauges 0.5 and below, now treedome will instead use sidebars, status bars, and tabs instead! Below is the before and after image of treedome, notice how much "soul" it now lacks.

    Before Update

    After Update

    But seriously, what are the changes about this overhaul? Well here is some of them:

    1. Treedome now has a new logo, but I think it's still unfinished though.
    2. Text editor can now be as minimalist as possible, even removing the tag fields!
    3. You can now right click the tree for more options, similar to a text editor.
    4. Zoom in, zoom out, no more looking at an uncomfortably large texts.
    5. Tips, helpful tips!
    6. ... More small adjustments for better UX!

    Behind The Scene

    An open source program will not live without a better backend, things you can't see, but matters alot. Let's list some of them.

    1. Testing phase of 9 months, pretty good!
    2. Upgrades a lot of dependencies, gotta keep up with the time, yo.
    3. Check the documentations, it's now better for new comers!
    4. Improve the performance of the UI by removing a lot of stupid code, and adding some.
    5. Woodpecker CI is now functional, again!
    6. Upgrade flake to also include LFS in the definition.
    7. Note export will now have a different ID than in the old document. Security!

    Thank you for using treedome for all this time. I will continue to support the application as long as possible. If you have anything you want to ask/request, please create an issue at https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues/new.

    Detailed changelog can be seen at https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/compare/0.5.4...0.6.1.

    Hotfix

    • version name in .deb and windows is very wrong, install git in the image to fix
    • text search result can't be scrolled horizontally
    • help menu doesn't have any description for the shortcuts
    • clicking minimize/maximize in the tree changes the current opened notes
    • pressing escape when a modal is opened will instead open the escape menu
    • add an option to hide the emoji picker, because some OS already has its own emoji picker
