What’d you call me?

Possible, but not practical

Imagine a shitty robot was just made available for free.

The shitty robot replaces you at work. It performs way faster with worse results, but the company hires a robot “expert” that fixes the results just enough that the product appears to be working. (Its not). You are now starving.

The shitty robot tells your kids that porn is a viable career path. And that they should kill themselves.

The shitty robot starts showing up everywhere, in advertising, TV shows, customer support lines, schools.

The shitty robot makes shitty art really fast, which people can sell or use how they want. Artists are now starving.

Imagine the shitty robot is now interviewing you for your next job.

Buy Nothing Project

Their app kinda sucks since the recent update (probably vibe coded) but its exactly this. You can give things away for free, or ask things for free. Its humble.

“How do we pay artists”

What if we didn’t pay anyone? What if farmers gave crops to cooks, who cooked for the people, some of those people are artists or authors, who create art for the people. Some of the people are musicians or singers or performers who entertain the people. Some of the people are builders and lumberjacks who build shelters for the people.

I think this could scale. A government could oversee production and create jobs where needed, such as being able to have factories that produce phones that only come with what you want or need, none of the bloat or adware we get now. No new version every year, or if they do, they can pass down older versions to next generations, and recycle the oldest or broken phones.

What if everyone had a laptop to network and be digitally productive, with a reliable connection to the internet. We would be right where we are now, except everyone is thriving. They dont get to be picky, but their needs can be met.

The dangers of that statement allow a person to take as much as they want and claim nobody owns it.

I see what you’re saying. I think a better way to express it is saying that the person who created it is acknowledged as the creator, and derivative works should be a certain amount of “different”, otherwise they are reproductions rather than original.

I disagree with that logic, but using things for non-commercial use is fine. It’s not yours, you dont own the rights to it, but you are free to borrow it for personal purposes, artistic sampling, or similar.

Nothing is owned, everything is borrowed, hoarding is immoral. Give back to your community.

She* or They

Softly Don’t.

No, most US jobs dont.

My workplace would allow me the time off if I put the request in ahead of time, but i would take a financial hit for taking days off. Im not as free as I want to be.

In my sleepy state, I saw it, and was pretty sure it was a different community

Practice.

Surround yourself with people, when one of them clicks more, let then in your inner circle little by little.

And it is pretty “meh”

Its a half-baked minecraft clone. It was hype when it was announced, but right now all the cool parts about it could be Minecraft mods. It does not stand out.

I’m assuming I am allowed questions here?

Yes

I’m wondering if that needs to be turned off for building for nonvr, if its fine to leave enabled or if there is some export preset stuff I can do?

Im not fluent in Godot, but I would make 2 player controllers: one for VR, the other for PC. Default to PC but have a button on the main menu to toggle to VR. So enable openXR.

are there any lemmy communities for showing off games we make from game jams?

I would post in Indie dev spaces and mention that its a game jam submission.

Where is “here”? Because it doesnt seen to be a thing in the US

I have met people that dont know how to navigate with Google maps and its painful to be a passenger with them.

I stopped at Thanksgiving. As an indie dev, I am running into all the boring parts of finishing a game and each of the remaining tasks is painful, non-programming related (like art, UX, and publishing and marketing), and im working out of my own pocket (in my free time).

I want to be done with this project, but other facets of my life got bigger during the holidays. Im socializing more online, rediscovered old games, and found more satisfying things to do with my free time.

I miss just coding.

Ah thanks. Too bad they arent ready-made
