Cool. It seems Unciv is basically Civ V while openciv3 is Civ III, if anyone else is wondering...

The operate on less than 100_000€/year, so I would cut them some slack ;-) btw. codeberg is not a company, more like a foundation, Verein is the german word.

I recently heard the argument that the license-friction of copyleft sometimes is actually a good thing. Think linux kernel that arguably is more successful than all the BSDs combined (citation needed)...

Not sure if wifi and bluetooth work though?:

since:

My hope is that this lets some more people wake up and finally make Linux on the smartphone a reality.

I experience the same thing on Fennec F-Droid 143.0.3 (Firefox) on Android 14.

This is just a guess, but maybe the struck a deal with Steinberg that does not allow them to do this?

Is there something in CL as opposed to a Scheme-impl that you would miss or would Scheme give you the same edge in your opinion?

> The big problems in software are not at the level of the language at all.

IMHO this only partially true. Think e.g. of memory safety.

"More insightful" is too gentle. At best the chart is misleading. But the _mistake_ to not adjust money for inflation is very common unfortunately...

Regarding the first point. If I understand correctly you say that there is an inevitable performance hit when not running in kernel mode. But is that really so?

The title of the story is potentially misleading. Germany is not thinking about building new power plants. It's just thinking about letting the existing ones run a little longer than originally planned.

Please provide some sources to this claim. As far as I know nuclear is worse than wind and solar in terms of CO2 emissions.
