If I understand this right, you're looking for Continuous Collision Detection

i.e. rather than calculating collision by looking at the intersection of objects in every frame, instead calculate collision by drawing out the path the object will go, and looking for collision along it.

So you're taking the best aspects of any fork you can find? Trust in the developers is an essential part of the question.

If a piece of software passes every audit in the whole world, but is developed and maintained by the NSA, you'd be stupid to leave your data with it.

Let me save you a lot of time and effort:

  • No, it isn't.

Your findings will either be an incredibly lengthy wording of that, or they will simply be wrong. It's not a complex question.

??? Nobody gets blown up going to NK. And tourists frequently enter by land.

As a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.

For my sins, I do dual boot Windows 10. Though with wine and proton I reckon I can get ~80-90% of games to work.

I'd love to go 100% Linux, and I do my best to only buy games that support Linux. But there are sadly some old games and multiplayer games with friends that I still can't quite convince to work.

Always gonna note too that Google Chrome (and chromium + derivatives to a lesser extent) kneecaps adblock plugins so that up to 50% fewer ad domains are blocked, blocklists are out of date, many in-page ads can't be caught, it's slower, and invisible trackers can bypass it.

The other 7.8 billion of us on this planet would have the biggest objection to "lbs"

I remember them telling us covid was low risk, that it would be contained, and not to panic.

I agree a lot public health management really fucked up in a big way, and we could have handled even the initial response a lot better. But in their defense, these statements had been true of every other overblown novel contagion in the past century. In the past couple decades there have been a few diseases which were touted as the new global pandemic and they came to very little (on the grand scale, not saying they weren't serious for the people who suffered them). I also agree the mask shit was totally mishandled.

I think it's impractical to call for a full-blown reaction to every new disease out there. Unfortunately then reacting to stuff when it does become big will take at least some time.

Personally wouldn't currently advise anyone to "prepare" for it in any way beyond how they should already be as standard - Just always have a few days worth of canned food, supplies and masks.

While I am usually resistant to change, I remain ever vigilant to try not be that XKCD guy

It's already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.

Windows -> Fedora

Been almost 10 years and no thoughts of changing. What can I say? I lucked out first time.
