Is there even any rules on VPNs? Wasn’t you just on holiday for a weekend?

It’s not that they don’t want from the UK, they just can’t be bothered to deal with the Online Safety Act.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

Technology? They are no more significant than other manufacturers. This is business news. Great business news, of course, but not technology.

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they’ll come.

That steak looks perfect. Nailed it.

Personally would do the veggies a little less. They should ideally be browned, rather than black IMHO. Covering for the start can help with that.

Feels very AI generated.

If it’s a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

Because it’s a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?

A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

Appreciate the feedback.

I’ve seen it one other time. If you see it again, feel free to report it. It definitely helps get visibility of it.

Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.

I’d have thought this a mid-level thing. Most seniors know the cost of complexity and KISS (Keep It simple Stupid).

Or maybe she just looking for an opportunity to talk to you?

Read the issue. It’s in there.

I fear those that are going down the path love sycophants and AI is perfect for that. When your ego gets in the way with building any real equal connection.

Right wing newspaper The Telegraph supporting right-wing MPs campaign to ban cousin marriage by cherry picking health service docs that aren’t there to promote but giving guidance to health professionals on how to treat patients and have zero impact on whether people choose to marry their cousins or procreate with them.

The prevalence is higher in UK Pakistani communities like Bradford. Having a right wing politician cherry pick info they dislike about minorities to start a crusade against minorities is as old as time.

I didn’t think reactionary right wing politics would get so much traction on Lemmy of all places. Critically assess your sources, who is publishing, who is saying, and why.

Next week. Right wing MP pushes to ban the burka as it has x% impact on pedestrian safety at road crossings. When racists cannot directly discriminate, they don’t stop, they just go for indirect strategies.
