that is a game engine limitation, not an in-universe physics limitation.

something to do with input sanitization probably

do you know any ways to filter the playlist so that only songs with BY-SA shows up?

lately i've been interested in discussions of "Rewriting everything in Rust"

Itch.io gives the convenience. although the UI is far from good, you straight-up get the zip folders with the game itself if you download from your browser, and their launcher still adopts no drm.

as a reminder: in systems on Linux, remember to check the permissions of non executable files if you're extracting them from a zip folder or similar, since those tends to preserve file permissions before you double-click them.

question: why is using OCR software more worth it than taking its contents with something like LibreOffice Draw?

[–] Wilker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

EU means Europe (so european portuguese), which has a few more pronounced differences compared to brazilian portuguese compared to the difference between US english and UK english

to add to that, think of the following: why do a lot of people understand the word "you" as the standard neutral second-person pronoun for the english lexicon? why do a lot of people understand "selfie" as the main word to refer to a self-portrait photo typically made with a device held by the same person who's featured in the portrait?

now explain each case of why should or shouldn't be that easy to take either word and morph its meaning into being for example, "the instance of a person in a fruit costume hanging out inside a fruit basket".

what i mean is, @paradiso@lemmy.world is completely missing the premise of this question.

not sure what "rest of the world" is because there's so many languages. i know that portuguese calls it "abacaxi" ("xi" is pronounced "she")

problem there is that anti-drm and ownership of a license to download and run software don't combine while financially viable to the stores. aside from the additional problem of having to manage inventories, trades and everything that happens to break those systems, "owning" the license and allowing to sell to someone else doesn't do much if you don't employ a DRM to enforce the make-believe of you pretending you're monetarily compensating a physical larbor of transferring a given copy of a media, people will share things with each other before you can blink and not care where it comes from so long as it runs and it's clean, specially in places where people won't pay for games instead of food. only reason CSGO skins works on Steam as the original NFT system is because there's servers to enforce what people get to see you holding and what you don't own. and allowing for transferring games between accounts without a DRM is not something you'll ever see any big company doing under the liability of being accused of promoting "piracy".

i think nothing beats literally getting the zip file with all the contents of the game with no middleware like GOG employs. to decentralize the store further requires the devs to at least manage their own website hosting, domains, ownership status accounts for updates. the only step available beyond that is the payment methods, and i don't think there's any viable solution to be done in that case besides having more companies like Stripe and Paypal.

in that sense, Itch is handling things pretty good for devs so far,
