At this point I wonder if there are some internal politics that want this project to fail and be over. 70 price tag, live service but only on ubisoft platform, ignoring the most demanded features, etc.

It’s like they are tired of a project that was a money black hole for years and they just want to pull the plug.

The texture healing technique is technically brilliant, but imho looks weird.

I will stick to Source Code Pro.

Humanity will survive this but everyone will suffer the effects. Even something relatively minor like COVID had great effects to the global economy, but with these we are talking about:

• Weather inestabilization, with greater storms and massive heat waves.

• General crop failures in many places of the world.

• Desertification in many areas.

• Massive migration waves.

• Very difficult and unstable economy.

We are starting to see some of this, but 2050 onwards is going to be a very difficult time for all humanity except the most wealthy.

I kind of agree with your points, but I think there has to be a distinction of libs. Most deps should be static IMHO. But something like OpenSSL I can understand if you go with dynamic linking, especially if it’s a security critical program.

But for “string parsing library #124” or random “gui lib #35”… Yeah, go with static.

I have yet to find a memory hungry program thats its caused by its dependencies instead of its data. And frankly the disk space of all libraries is minuscule compared to graphical assets.

You know what’s going to really bother the issue? If the program doesn’t work because of a dependency. And this happens often across all OSes, searching for these are dime a dozen in forums. “Package managers should just fix all the issues”. Until they don’t, wrong versions get uploaded, issues compiling them, environment problems, etc etc.

So to me, the idea of efficiency for dynamic linking doesn’t really cut it. A bloated program is more efficient that a program that doesn’t work.

This is not to say that dynamic linking shouldn’t be used. For programs doing any kind of elevation or administration, it’s almost always better from a security perspective. But for general user programs? Static all the way.

Why cotton instead of linen? At least in Spain, linen is more popular as summer clothing, and definitively feels fresher.

Didnt know Nushell, but that looks better than cmder! Will give it a try.

Both of those progressing nicely in Spain, and the result was… a rise of the right, that has doubled down on destroying the aquifers in the south, the most affected region.

So the worse things become, the more people turn a blind eye to the issue.

… Im not sure if I follow your interpretation.

All Im saying is that people doing farming without knowledge is not a solution and they can easily make soil worse, and if they want to contribute, they can do better by planting native flora.

Because it introduces a whole lot of new issues. People could make things so much worse. IMHO the real alternative is, if you have actual land, is to put native plants. That will help the ecosystem, retain water, attract life etc and all that is better than random farming.

With the advances on SDcards, IPoAC is getting better and better.

You can’t. Even if you have a home, unless you own a lot of land near it, but can’t grow enough food to live off of it. Even if you had, the moment you have a problem (diseases, droughts, floods, too much sun, too little sun… etc) you are fucked.

I live in a small apartment and I have peppes and some small tomatoes plants, plus lots of herbs. You cannot really grow anything close to something you can live for. If your apartment is super large, you could have a hydroponics room, which would give you lots of option for reliable food, but it’s very energy intensive so it’s not really ecological unless you happen to have solar panels or something, in which case you probably aren’t in an apartment in the first place.

I like farming and worked a lot of it with my grandfather when I was a child and still help my family with it. But people don’t really know what farming is like, especially modern farming. Some people have really ideallized versions of what its like.
