#dungeon26 https://adungeon.com

It's a creative project in which I add a new room to a mega-dungeon over the course of a year, resulting in 12 levels and approximately 30 rooms per level at the end. All the tiles are created by me using my own tools. It's a lot of fun and something I can do every day that I feel like I can enjoy for a year.

It's focused on OSR/Shadowrun. It's also taught me a lot about dungeon design and creation.

And when they do, they should be charged.

I wouldn't bother. denuoweb2 is trying to circumvent bans or something I don't know by creating second accounts or more. I don't know why or maybe they know they are losing karma or something, I don't know, but they are lying and acting 100% like a troll. I wouldn't engage and just flag them. They aren't worth investing time or energy in.

That's 100% not what I'm saying or claiming and you are 100% lying and making stuff up.

At best you are a troll. At best.

I do agree with what you, denuoweb, said though, you are a mentally ill person.

Edit: Oh, I see, you are trying to circumvent a ban or something and creating multiple sock puppet accounts or something? No.

It was a riot and attack on the capitol in support of an attempt to overturn a legitimate election result. Isn't that bad enough? Why do you have to lie and claim that it was an assassination attempt on Mike Pence?
jasonlotito · a day ago
I didn't make the claim. They made that claim when they tried. On camera. For the world to see.

All of the people there were trying to assassinate the VP? How come no one's been charged for assassination attempt?

> All of the people there were trying to assassinate the VP?

Sure seemed like it. All those people chanting to kill the VP? Sure seems like it.

> How come no one's been charged for assassination attempt?

Corruption? Doesn't change the facts. They were trying to kill the VP.

Pretend what you want, there were 1500+ that day that certain people said were just tourists.

Jan 6 suggests those are merely tourists, not terrorists, even if they are trying to assassinate the VP.

Usually when I see this opinion (yours), it leans on an uncharitable coloring of everybody who sees problems with copyright as "anti-copyright", when really those people largely are happy with the concept of protecting an individual's work. I.e. it is the age-old "those people" argument, where "those people" are a made-up conglomerate of opinions that are real, but come from slightly different contexts and from different people, throwing away those variables to create the illusion of a hypocrite.
jasonlotito · 7 days ago
I think this is a good explanation, and even if this isn't what the OP says, I see arguments like this frequently.

In the case of copyright, think of it as anti-current-implementation of copyright rather than anti-copyright. For example, you could oppose the current copyright term, but that doesn't mean you are anti-copyright. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Most people in my social circles are various flavours of anti-AI, and it drives me crazy how many of them, who were once stridently anti-copyright, are now using copyright as one of the great pillars of AI opposition
jasonlotito · 7 days ago
I'm curious what the circle is, because it doesn't match up with my circle. So, I'm genuinely curious what you mean by "anti-copyright".

My gut reaction is to rush to the comments to shill my favourite task runner ( mise tasks[1], now with shell aliases[2]!) but pushing past that, the core idea of writing scripts in a file rather than a shell prompt is a great nugget of wisdom. But I disagree with this bit:

"I want to be clear here, I am not advocating writing “proper” scripts, just capturing your interactive, ad-hoc command to a persistent file."

What's the difference? Why not version control it, share it with colleagues. Imagine writing a unit test to test a new feature then deleting it when done, what a waste. Ok it's not exactly the same because you aren't using these scripts to catch regressions, but all of that useful learning and context can be reused.

I don't think the language you use for scripting is too important as long as the runtime is pinned and easily available on all engineers machines, perhaps using a toolchain manager like... mise[3].

> What's the difference? Why not version control it,

Because I'm hardcoding directory paths.

Because I'm assuming things are set up a particular way: the way they are on my machine.

Because this is hardcoded to a particular workflow that I'm using here and now, and that's it.

Because I do not want to be responsible for it after no longer needing it.

Because I don't want to justify it.

Because I'm hard-coding things that shouldn't be checked in.

Because I don't want to be responsible for establishing the way we do things based on this script.
