  • B42 is a beta branch like you say, you have to opt in to play it. The current version does do multiplayer, I'm currently running my own server for my friends on the current version

  • There are plenty of "private" servers that are technically open to anyone. Just follow the rules and enjoy the game.

    You'll see a lot of "B42" or "build 42" being talked about. This is the most recent major update that is still in beta. It doesn't have multiplayer but does offer A LOT of new and improved features.

  • Fantastic game that gets so much deeper with every (infrequent) major update

  • If Aliens came to Earth, would we not have as much of a language chellenge as they would do with us? Also like in Mars Attacks how would we know that we aren't saying lets go to War?

  • It's definitely a contender, I'm not sure it's "much simpler" though. There is no simple option, it will likely be the most challenging linguistic problem the world has ever faced.

    Assuming the periodic table will be the same is a huge leap. @themeatbridge@lemmy.world did a good job of explaining why in another comment. To paraphrase, our periodic table is limited to our perspective of the elements. There could be other even more accurate, and descriptive ways to fully encompass what an element is.

    Maths already is a language of sorts, with logic built in. Whereas the periodic table is a technical description of elements.

  • There are core concepts that are likely to be universally understood.

    Maths is probably the best and most common example. If we imagine the symbols have been removed and we work under the assumption that we're manipulating objects we can show that 1 object + 1 object = 2 objects without any language necessary. From there we (aliens and humans) can work together to build a common foundation of understanding.

    Don't get me wrong, this will not be easy and there will be problems we haven't thought of but there's a good chance that a spacefaring civilisation will know enough about mathematics to build a new common language.

  • We need to ignore them, they're obfuscating from the real issue. Payment processors should not have the ability to police content, full stop, end of discussion.

    The person who tattled is absolutely irrelevant and a distraction

  • Wow, I had no idea about any of this. Thanks for putting in the effort to inform me.

    This is probably a super simple question so sorry on advance, but why is an open source project held hostage like this? If it's a code issue, can't it just be forked? If it's a Lemmy specific issue, why is being federated with .ml more important than the health of the wider verse?

  • Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S.

  • Because it never stops at just stopping the enemy, the allies could have simply contained Nazi Germany but chose to invade. The US could have continued the war in the Pacific but chose to drop 2 atomic bombs.

    Beating the enemy so thoroughly is the only way humans have ever been able to truly end a conflict of that scale, and in that situation if Europe is to beat Russia like that I don't believe they'd hesitate to start launching nukes.

    So we're stuck in a situation where Europe either risk nuclear war, or an extended border skirmish that could last decades. Both would be devastating

    Jump

  • I see what you're saying, although I think it was a joint effort by the US and the EU. And it was short-sighted on both their parts.

    The EU is feeling the heat that comes from a lapse in personal security and the US will find out that they aren't the power they thought they were without their allies.

    If Trump isn't corrected it could all come crashing down for the US and the EU.

  • But that only takes into account the time when China started their shift into manufacturing. China has been THE dominant manufacturer for at least 20 years now. So we shouldn't judge by today, but should judge by their rise to dominance.

    Plus having a distribution of countries to use as manufacturers allows for specialists to emerge, likely speeding up their individual adoption of the role they choose.

    And why would China cooperate with their own exclusion from the world market? And even if they chose economic suicide, why would their assistance be required for other countries to become manufacturers?

  • I can see the point your making. I'm not suggesting it'd be easy but if we moving to Russia as the example Russia would be the standin for China, not the wider world.

    Russia's economy is now shit because they got embargoed, as China's would be, it hurt the wider world briefly, but that has mostly passed.

    And I didn't suggest western countries take on the brunt of the manufacturing, I suggested it should be countries that would benefit from the overhaul to their economy
