  • They literally agreed to open the patent if the safety rule goes into effect.

    However, one key patent — the “840” patent — is not set to expire until 2033. To stave off potential competitors, it describes the AIM technology very broadly. In a surprise move at February’s CPSC hearing, TTS Tooltechnic Systems North America CEO Matt Howard announced that the company would “dedicate the 840 patent to the public” if a new safety standard were adopted. Howard says that this would free up rivals to pursue their own safety devices or simply copy SawStop’s. At the hearing, he challenged them “to get in the game.”


  • The armored trucks were also clearly labeled with the charities logos.

    This means the trucks were bombed intentionally, they were bombed when clearly identified as aid workers, or they were bombed indiscriminately.

    None of the above is good for the IDF.

    Most likely they will claim the “fog of war” was the issue and there will be non specific “changes” that they will make after a long delay, all while blaming aid organizations for not providing volunteers to stop the genocidal starvation they are causing.


  • All over the article you posted:

    and since Floorp currently has no advertising, my own salary is, of course, zero. It’s just not going to last.

    I have made many plans, including earning development money on this projects, but all have been derailed by open source projects.


    There is some code in the closed source code to prepare for this. If these are forked, my hundreds of hours will have been wasted.


    The purpose is to learn how to publish code that cannot be used for forking as open source.

    I have to obligate the folks to choose whether they want to pay me or help me code.

    So hes forked the open source Firefox, added some polish, and is now miffed that others have taken his forked project and forked it themselves, because it cuts off a possible income stream he had planned. That code, the things he intended to profit from, is whats hidden in the “closed source” part of the repo. He says he will open source it eventually, likely after he figures out a way to profit from all of the code Mozilla kindly let him fork for free.

    He doesnt want anyone else to profit from the hundreds of hours of code hes added to the millions of hours of free code hes currently trying to profit from. This is of course a very reasonable and consistent moral stance in line with common open source principles.



  • Lots of those games are nearly a year old, were way overhyped vs their actual reviews, or had technical issues that may or may not have been resolved.

    The Baldurs gate discount is only 10% because its still very popular but the sales have dipped a bit because their initial fan base already bought it.

    Those are just bog standard game discounts that have been going on forever for common reasons. They have nothing at all to do with the industry, which is making record profits, laying off people to make even more record profits.






  • Dungeons of the endless is beutiful. A unique roguelike thats more strategic than action based, but gives your choices real weight. You will have to lose people and you will make mistakes to complete the missions, but every one of them leaves you with a sense of impact.

    I get the same vibes from it as FTL, the sense of weighty choices. A great buy at $2.50

    There is a new “action focused” sequel to dungeon of the endless whose name i forget because its an entirely forgetable game. It fully eliminates meaningful gameplay in trade for mediocre combat. It can be skipped entirely.
