oo1@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The price increase of Disney+ over the past 4 years31·1 year agoI thought Disney was “nearly a requirement” . . . sounds to like those precious few who can manage without might have some useful information.
Typically this is what happens in a free competitive market, when a price goes up people look for substitutes.
And if they face constraints in moving to the substitute, they will benefit from help in loosening those constraints.
oo1@kbin.socialto Programming@programming.dev•Paying people to work on open source is good actually3·1 year agoIt’s a donation so you’re never going to have perfect pricing everything down to the nearest penny or remunerating each person-hour worked. I think It’s about something rough and ready that is better than nothing. And it’s all goverened by morality anyway . . .
so doomed to failure on that side.Buy hypothetically a simple principle with reasonable administration cost, like each 3 months, each node shoud add up all donations, slice off 25-50% , split it equally among their top 5 or 10 most important dependencies - just guess, and maybe swap from quarter to quarter if if there’s doubt. There’s some wiggle room there for small projects to do less and large over funded projects to do more.
Each node in the network could follow a simple rule like that, making a limited number of transactions each time period ,and you’d probably end up with quite a complex outcome after a few iterations (years).
The real trick would be having enough nodes in the network that actually enact such a simple rule. (Apart from having enough donations flow in to the consumer level projects of course).
But enough nodes and enough inflow and the fractal would work for you - roughly.THe speed is an issue, the more often you settle up then quicker people see money, but the more the admin cost.
But even doing it quaterly is not slower than doing nothing.Such a model is not something anyone will be securing bank loans off though, so if that’s the point then you probably need a paid licensing / service model of some sourt maybe Canonical and redhat.

If I donate to debian, that I depend on , then debian (morally) should disburse some of that donation to the linux kernel that debian depends on.

I can see the appeal of the meme option.

oo1@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.ml•Miniature RISC-V Developer Laptop Looks Like a Lenovo ThinkPad Clone | Tom's Hardware121·2 years agoI’d guess they’d need to figure out whatever apple did with it’s arm chips.
efficient use of many-cores and probably some fancy caching arrangement.It’ll may also be a matter of financing to be able to afford (compete with intel, apple, amd, nvidia) to book the most advanced manufacturing for decent sized batches of more complex chips.
Once they have proven reliable core/chip designs , supporting more products and a growing market share, I imagine more financing doors will open.
I’d guess risc-v is mostly financed by industry consortia maybe involving some governments so it might not be about investor finance, but these funders will want to see progress towards their goals. If most of them want replacements for embedded low power arm chips, that’s what they’re going to prioritise over consumer / powerful standalone workstations.
oo1@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.ml•Miniature RISC-V Developer Laptop Looks Like a Lenovo ThinkPad Clone | Tom's Hardware232·2 years agoI think that’s the whole point of all risc - it saves power over cisc but may take longer to compute some tasks.
That’d be why things like phones with limited batteries often prefer risc.

First you draw an “S” . . .

yeah, i like the game and even i can see its hyped in articles and on forums.
every time someone article has the word “polished”.
it has tonnes of quest bugs, these type of games always do.the ui is remarkably good - for this type of game, on steamdeck controller; but it’s not a slick ui.
there’s always tradeoffs and compromises. complexity of quests leads to bugs, complexity of player choices leads to analysis paralysis/tyranny of choice and cumbersome ui.
yeah, nostalgia for me.
the other larian games didn’t register with me.

We have a problem with testing.
