> completely unrelated

They are both chess-inspired and roguelike.

IMHO this is a completely normal "hey I've been doing something similar" response. Why are you so aggressive about it?

What's the difference of a "robot game engine" to a simulator like <https://gazebosim.org>

I work in robotics and with quaternions (mainly 6DoF SLAM and used to do robot arm kinematics), but I don't get the use case for this. Maybe provide some example use cases?

> most people know how to use their own money to further their own life if given capital and opportunity, thus capitalism is the solution

I didn't know that "giving capital and opportunity" to people is inherent to capitalism. My understanding of capitalism is, that if people have money, they can "use their own money to further their own life", but capitalists avoid giving money to other people unless the return on investment is greater than 1.

Where is that? I found "Return the simplest working solution. No over-engineering." which sounds more like the simplest fix.

Freezing assets is simple. Seizing them is a huge pain. The EU has a hard time agreeing how to do it and who takes the liability for the Russian claims.

Can you elaborate on this? My guess would be, that because of their status as a government backed research institute, they invent a lot, but let others do the commercialisation. So patent fees seem like a natural choice for them, to recover their investments.

It does sound interesting and I signed up for the wait list. But I actually don't like pure chronological order. It feels like I have to look at everything to find the good stuff. Here I probably won't miss out too much if I check the front page once a day.

New comment by aktenlage in "GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple"

aktenlage — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:15:39 +0000

I have a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. Runs great for years, except for one or two apps that require an "official" Android.

Anyway, I now need to get the battery replaced, because apparently they are dangerous and Google pays for the replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement process requires the stock android to be installed. Meaning, I would need to backup the whole phone, reinstall stock android, then restore everything - and hope the whole ordeal works out.

> Is it, though?

Yes it is a Milchmädchenrechnung. I do not want to argue whether fusing states makes sense or not. This isn't even a moral condemnation of the original poster. All I say is that the equation `efficiency_gain == federal states before / federal states after` is completely made up.

Thinking the number of federal states is equivalent with an efficiency factor is utterly unsubstantiated. There may be a correlation (or not, I don't claim anything here), but `efficiency_gain == federal states before / federal states after` is pure fantasy.

I tried it to review some C++ code. It actually found minor bugs, but the signal to noise ratio is too high (maybe 10% of the found issues were real issues)

Companies can (and do) install solar for their own consumption. No middleman involved.

In Germany, we call unsubstantiated calculations like this "Milchmädchenrechnung" (milkmaid calculation).

That sounds interesting. I would have appreciated a comparison to other unix command line tools (rsync, restic, borg).

What features are planned for the free version and which ones will need to be payed for?

Sounds good. I use duckduckgo's AI assistant a lot these days, which also guarantees that the data is not used.
