Yeah that game was unplayable for me. I rebind my keys, but there were functions hard bound to keys, probably from like debugging or something, so pressing them would execute two functions. Specifically it was camera rotation. That was disorientating as hell.

For one of my friends it kept crashing, and since you can’t save during the intro he had to play it 3 times or so.

It’s actually right in the name. Anarchy from an-arkhos means “without ruler”. They think hierarchies are illegitimate per se.

This surprised me too. But that was in 2012 😂

And Jainism has infinitely many gods, they just aren’t that important, from what I gather.

I’m also in that group, I only meant to write a direct parallel to the title, for comparison :-)

Just FYI millennia is a plural form: one millennium, two millennia. So you’re from a different millennium.

I can enjoy goat and sheep.

Like… blended up?

Ah but maybe the vibe is a lowkey period we can’t be sure

Ah I’m glad to see the situation seems to have cooled a little.

See this comment and the three following, as well as this one and the two following. I think they can now work it out between the projects reasonably.

PS: This more fundamental proposal for Fedora Workstation that started from the OBS packaging issue is also interesting to read. It seems they are looking to make more limited / focused use of their own Flatpak remote in the future since some old assumptions regarding Flatpaks and Flathub don’t hold so well anymore.

I think you might find this comment by one of the OBS upstream devs interesting:

I don’t have an answer but I have another example:

“A part of something” gets turned into “apart of something”, I assume this is also not caught by autocorrect because “apart from something” would actually exist.

the equivalent of me telling the bank to write and mail a check to a company on my behalf.

What the fuck? Why don’t they just transfer the money electronically instead?

Hey at least it doesn’t have 3566 tonnes displacement

They could improve this so much by saying something like “the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of unsaved progress will be lost” instead. Just need to keep a time counter from last save, that’s not too much overhead.

Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don’t have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.

I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.

Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.

Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are “regulation”).

Ah as an intermediary for TypeScript? Fair point.

being a registered business they purchase for prices without VAT

That’s not true, sorry. A business pays stuff with VAT included too, but they can later claim back the VAT they paid against the VAT they raised from selling stuff, so they don’t have to hand all of that over.

You probably mean the sales taxes, those look similar from a consumer point of view, but they work differently.

In a VAT system the taxes are collected all along the value addition chain. Each sale of intermediary products has the VAT cost on it, but companies can claim the VAT that they pay for their inputs against the one they collected on their outputs. In effect each company hands over the part of VAT that is raised on their part of the value addition. In the end it all comes from the consumer who buys the final product but doesn’t sell anything onward so they can’t claim their paid VAT against anything. This system determines the end consumer automatically.

In a sales tax system, only the sale to the final end customer is taxed, and intermediary products are not taxed. Intermediary companies must prove to their suppliers that they are not end customers, that they intend to sell things onward, and that they are therefore exempted from sales tax and the supplier does not have to collect sales tax. If that fails, then that means mistakenly a company has to pay sales tax, and then their customer has to pay it again.

Other than that I don’t know enough to compare:

• What is more or less administrative overhead.
• What is more or less open to fraud.
• To what degree this is linked to the existence of a single national or many regional tax rates

Just to make sure you know: Basically everyone has a VAT, except the US. It’s not some special EU thing.

We have it in Switzerland, Canada has it, Japan has it, China has it, India has it, Russia has it, Brazil has it, Indonesia has it, Australia has it, Ukraine has it, Mexico has it, South Africa has it… I’m stopping here, but every country I googled had it so far.
