Yeah, I think I recognized him, but couldn't find a half-decent pun on his name. Van Hamme was the closest I could find, look-wise.

Jean-Claude Van Horn ?

Ourselves, we had a bit of trauma to deal with when they saw the movie Coco. They all had already learned that we, like all living beings, are going to die. But I think it made them realize a bit more directly what it means.

It seems recent versions of Lemmy don't have that problem anymore, right?

If we're going that far from Minecraft, don't forget the impressive Veloren ;)

For what it's worth, that same github user already reverse-engineered the game : https://github.com/skynettx/raptor and this one should be able to compile on modern platforms.

There is probably a story behind the source release, I wonder what it is...

Wow, incredible news! So many memories

That's not as true as it's been : they've published kernel modules as opensource. It's clearly not perfect nor comparable to what AMD or Intel do/did, but it's way better than when Linus raised that finger ;)

I've had a blast playing Smokin' Guns : https://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads

(Veloren is pretty awesome too, in a completely different way : https://veloren.net/ )

Great, I guess I just jumped off that ship before it became cool again ;)

Thanks for the insightful update.

To this guy, yes, though less to this article (that is pretty watered-down) than to the regular rants he posted to friendica/zot/... on that particular subject. Thanks for spotting his interview, though, brings black memories

What do you mean by specifications?

This was a few years back, and my memory isn't that great, but from I recall : Diaspora had a rather privileged childhood, in the form of a very successul kickstarter. And they basically were the cool kids back then, and as such they didn't follow any existing protocol (which, at that time, would have been either OStatus or XMPP, basically) and went their own way. Federation at that time wasn't that much of a hype, but still they (rightfully) felt it would be great to document their protocol, and they published (some sort of) specification.

At the same time, Friendica's author (which then went to built several other socialnetworking tools/platforms, as RedMatrix, Huzbilla, Zap, Zot, ...) spent some time trying to federate his tools (can't remember if it was Friendica or RedMatrix) with Diaspora. And was appalled by how unusable the specification was. From what I understood, at least.
