  • He told his friend about the game. I don’t think he would have done so if he copied or felt he had “stolen” anything. If he remade the game with this own code and assets then he put a lot of work into it and he can be proud of that (and telling his friend shows that he was). Comparing the game, i do think the clone is better made / more polished. So he really like the game and made a better version of it. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. IP has to be respected (can’t just copy assets or code) but if that’s the case then anything goes and that’s a good thing, it gives us better games.

    Think PalWorld, for example, Nintendo, one of the most copyright abusing companies in the world, doesn’t sue them and it’s arguably a better game than anything Nintendo has come up with recently (no new / modern / good / 3D Pokemon games).


  • TF2 is no longer making a lot money for valve. Veteran players have all theirs special hats/cosmetics and no new player wants to invest time and money in a game so riddled with cheating bots. They could easily handle the situation. Detecting obvious cheating bots isn’t hard but valve doesn’t even try. Yes, there are community servers, like Uncle Danes, that are good at handling bots, but it’s also a big burden for them to constantly ban/remove cheating bots.

    Valve is testing server side AI cheat detection in CS2. Let’s hope that they will bring that to TF2 valve servers. Maybe don’t VAC ban players being detected (AI is buggy), just remove them when detected and maybe disallow them from joining valve servers for a week.




  • Basically all service providers in the EU will be forced to change their terms of service that all users will have to agree to in order to continue using the service. You will simply get an “updated terms service” notification with a link and one big “OK” button and nothing else. If you follow the link to the terms of service, somewhere deep down (like page 276 of 389) it will says “I agree to be monitored”. You now have the choice to uninstall the app or to click “OK”. It’s basically everything. Obviously Google, Outlook, Yahoo etc and all the Chat apps (Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp) etc. So “Consent” is not really optional if you want to use any internet service, they can just pretend that it is so that can go on an uncontrolled unwarranted spying rampage against everyone and of course for everything.






  • Nein, ich bin froh dass ich weniger Zeit mit Informationsmüll verschwende. Allerdings finde ich bei technischen Fragen immer noch viele reddit Artikel. Ich gehe bei Google dann immer auf “…” -> Erweitert -> Cache -> Text only. Damit kann ich den Inhalt trotz IP Block sehen und zwar ohne Werbung und ohne Reddits “engagement” zu erhöhen.





  • Empfehle ein RaPi mit Zigbee2MQTT + NodeRed (und ggf. VictoriaMetrics + Grafana für Datenseicherung und Auswertung). Dann einfach z.B. zwei Ikea Zigbee Steckdosen darüber steuern (ausgelöst von einem Zigbee Lichtschalter + oder Ikea Taster etc). Könntest auch ein Schalter wie diesen verwenden um zu erkennen wie viel Energie (Watt) verbraucht wird und dann Zeitverzögert den Ikea Switch einschalten etc. Home Automation ohne Cloud macht echt Spaß.
