Rail infrastructure costs money to maintain. So do roads, for that matter. If this is the first step towards ubiquitous pollution-free air taxis, we should be cheering, not grousing.

I put it to you that ideals may constitute a scratchable itch.

Hey look! A valid military target!

I suppose the thing is, I personally wouldn't care much if anyone else used it or not, my itch has been scratched. If someone else finds it of use, great! If they need changes, they've got the code and can get crackin' on it themselves. Or, they can pay me to do it if we can agree on a price. Outside of that I have no expectations.

As I understood it, one of the foundations of open source development is scratching your own itches, then putting what you made up for grabs in case it scratches someone else's. There shouldn't be any expectation of support on your part beyond an email or two. The code's out there if they want to scratch the itch a different way. It's kind of a homesteader ethic.

 

This story continues to unfold. I would have posted an archive.is link as I know some have issues with the source, but the word has come down that that's no longer kosher. (Or halal?) Still, the facts don't seem to be in dispute.

I see no compelling reason to accept this "upgrade."

DM should have rolled for the player secretly if they didn't want to call attention.

LOL, I knew this sub was digging for old memes but bringing back actual red-baiting? chef's kiss

 

A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say "what's the big deal?" But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

 

Yes. Yes he can.

They're definitely part of the future, but Millenials and X'ers aren't quite done being the future yet either. We're all part of the future until we aren't anymore.
