Its pretty explicitly not a tragedy of the commons. Its a tragedy of the ruling class abusing the resources of the 'commons' to extract value. There is nothing 'commons' about trillion dollar companies extracting all available value from the labor of the working class. That's just the tragedy that'll bring around the death of society, the same tragedy that brings all other tragedys

A parent of mine uses it afaik , he's been doing academia for about 40 years, so perhaps that is related.

I'd love a black mesa style recreation of thief. I played it recently (its older than me) and I enjoyed it a lot, but its pretty rough in parts for me and my modern sensibilities.

The Dark Project is really cool as a platform, and seems like it'd be ideal for that sort of recreation, but the community seems pretty nervous of the legalities of such a project which is a shame.

xfce wayland seems to work fine/most components are ported. I started it up in wayland mode just now and it seems to work fine.

I dont fully understand this, would this be useful for scaling sqlite on systems that have really high read needs and a single writer? I thought that was what LiteFS was for, or am i off on that too?

I like the idea of something like this with video transcoding (this just does audio). I dont need many of the features of Jellyfin, it'd just be nice to have a browser client for my video files though.
