WizTree my beloved

He wildly misunderstood/misrepresented the initiative two videos in a row (and continues to ten months later), and he continually discredits the entire initiative because of contrived edge cases.

I think this paragraph from this twitter reply really sums it up:

My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to keep all games in a "Functional Playable State" after sunsetting which is not possible for all games and could limit what kinds of games people make in the future.

The idea that creativity would be hampered because games would have to remain playable when the company shuts down servers one day is ridiculous. Can you imagine if we talked like this about anything else? "We can't force every phone to use the same USB-C charging port because it would be too technically infeasible to do so and hamper creativity." "We can't outlaw CFCs because they're useful chemicals and it would be technically infeasible for some products to be made without chlorofluorocarbons (the things that fucked up the ozone layer)." "My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to 'make cars limit their emissions' which is not possible for all cars and could limit what kinds of cars companies make in the future." Ridiculous.

It's absurd that I'm not exaggerating when I say his opposition to Stop Killing Games entirely boils down to "I think companies should be allowed to take games away because it would be really hard for them to leave some games playable when they're done supporting them 🥺"

I used to passively like Thor, but when I watched those two videos he made last year about SKG I lost all of my respect for him.

Mamdani is going to lose what? He already won the primary and since he's running as a Democrat he has functionally won the NYC mayoral race when that happens.

Turns out I already follow you! You have the cure alien girl oc!!

To me, "he died" puts an emphasis on what the person actually went through. To die is to experience the process of dying. "He is dead" puts the emphasis on his current state, not on the transition from life to that state. Linguistically, I consider dying to be the process and death to be the result. You die once, but you stay dead forever (medical resuscitation notwithstanding).

I have no clue how many other people think of the phrases like that, but that's the rhetorical distinction I draw between the two.

A review of studies is a meta-analysis. What you're describing is a meta-meta-analysis, which is also a thing! Here's one I found from a cursory search..

That sounds about right. I don't use it very actively but I do have it set up. I might set this up as well to have them side by side.

I prefer sqtracker's UI, but I'm glad to have other options to choose from (and memory safety with Rust is a pretty neat bonus)!

I'm guessing she meant Luanti
