Easy: Binding of Isaac

Ooof, watched that yeeeeaaaaars ago. I remember it being pretty psycho and disturbing. Not sure if this still holds up today but it’s definitely not everyones cup of tea.

But isn’t this kinda like the one click hosters like Rapidshare or Megaupload? Those services (at least the big ones I think) have been taken down for copyright infringement although they had the benefit of the doubt because data was stored fragmented and encrypted. Or am I not seeing something important?

… but the scenario you describe is not related to pasting passwords, it is more related to staying logged in, isn’t it?

Oh yes I got my definition of correlation slightly wrong. Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean that two things have the same cause but they do relate in some way either by having a common cause or by occuring in the same system. They definitely have more in common than happening just at the same time or right after each other like a coincidence.

I didn’t claim that correlation equals causation and I hope you didn’t get the impression because this would be oviously wrong.

Edit: I stand corrected and today I learned that “correlation” means that two things have a statistical relation without any causal relation implied. There can be a causal relation but it’s not necessary. The key takeaway for me is that correlation describes a statistical relationship.

That’s exactly the problem with many open source projects.

I recently experienced this first hand when submitting some pull requests to Jerboa and following the devs: As long as there is no money funding the project the devs are trying to support the project in their free time which means little to no time for quality control. Mistakes happen… most of them are uncritical but as long as there’s little to no time and expertise to audit code meaningfully and systematically, there will be bugs and these bugs may be critical and security relevant.

Do you have an example? I’m pretty sure correlation cannot be caused by coincidence.

Coincidence is describing two things happening at the same time but with separate causes. Correlation is describing two things having a common cause.

Not exactly. What you’re looking for is coincidence.

Beehaw.org chose to defederate some big instances like lemmy.world because the beehaw admins feel like they can’t moderate the inappropriate content entering their instance from big instances without proper mod tools.

They made a long post sharing their reasons but I can’t find it at the moment.

Don’t forget Satisfactory. I really hope, this doesn’t affect its development.

Technically speaking, you are completely right. The problem is that the negative association rubs off on the project regardless of the factual context. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter whether the political views of the developers influence the political direction of the software. The association that sticks is: Lemmy is the one with the Stalinist developer.

Wow this is utterly amazing! I loved Black & White and I think there never was a game like it. Wishlisted!

Elite Dangerous has some amazing sound design.
