They’re definitely part of the future, but Millenials and X’ers aren’t quite done being the future yet either. We’re all part of the future until we aren’t anymore.

LOL, I knew this sub was digging for old memes but bringing back actual red-baiting? chef’s kiss

DM should have rolled for the player secretly if they didn’t want to call attention.

I see no compelling reason to accept this “upgrade.”

As I understood it, one of the foundations of open source development is scratching your own itches, then putting what you made up for grabs in case it scratches someone else’s. There shouldn’t be any expectation of support on your part beyond an email or two. The code’s out there if they want to scratch the itch a different way. It’s kind of a homesteader ethic.

I suppose the thing is, I personally wouldn’t care much if anyone else used it or not, my itch has been scratched. If someone else finds it of use, great! If they need changes, they’ve got the code and can get crackin’ on it themselves. Or, they can pay me to do it if we can agree on a price. Outside of that I have no expectations.

Hey look! A valid military target!

I put it to you that ideals may constitute a scratchable itch.

Rail infrastructure costs money to maintain. So do roads, for that matter. If this is the first step towards ubiquitous pollution-free air taxis, we should be cheering, not grousing.
