OpenRCT2 was a direct derivative of RCT2 at first, to the point it would just directly call into the game executable everywhere.

See e.g: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/commit/643db7ae017e04d1...


That isn't derivative. That's a plugin. At that point if OpenRCT2 is calling into the original, intact binary, there can be no infringement. You're just running the executable as provided and your computer just so happens to have another program running in the same memory space.

I see. Yeah it's hard to defend that. The correct way to do it would be to reverse engineer the game and produce a clean room implementation.

> That would be illegal.

Yeah, so?

Tagging on I really recommend everyone read up on groups like the Com, 764, or O9A. It's impossible to describe these groups without sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist and yet they're all real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Nine_Angles


"The Com" is not a distinct entity as medias like to describe it. These days it generally just refers to the anglosphere cybercrime community at large.

Good?


Even the DLR has drivers onboard to take over in an emergency.


> When Deutsche Telekom customers want to watch YouTube, that traffic flows directly from Google's network to Deutsche Telekom's network at a Frankfurt exchange point—maybe four or five router hops, minimal latency, no intermediaries. It's elegant. It's efficient. And it's exactly what Vodafone is abandoning.

Why?


AI writing cadence I presume.

Thanks. I thought it was something factually wrong.


It is also likely factually wrong as most major ISPs use GGC for popular traffic


After using Deutsche Telekom as an example of how great direct peering is, a few paragraphs later the article uses Deutsche Telekom as an example of the dangers of using peering provider intermediaries.


Is it the only peering of Starlink though?


? My comment had nothing to do with Starlink.

Your first example I was referring to - which you've now edited out of the article[0] to be more generic - stated:

> When Deutsche Telekom customers want to watch YouTube, that traffic flows directly from Google's network to Deutsche Telekom's network at a Frankfurt exchange point—maybe four or five router hops, minimal latency, no intermediaries. It's elegant. It's efficient. And it's exactly what Vodafone is abandoning.

Later:

> Deutsche Telekom pioneered this model in Germany, and the results have been catastrophic for customers. Not "slightly annoying" or "a bit slower"—genuinely, documentably terrible.

fair enough. I replied to the wrong comment. Sorry for that.

coffee.link is getting a git based version feature to make changes more transparent.

Also there is a deno (+ electron for GUI version) based testing tool coming to better understand network routes.

Additionally I plan to do a well researched series called "How does the internet work".


SpaceX is both customer and peer of inter.link


Why does the website look like my monitor is dying? Black on dark grey, seriously?


Indeed. Not very.. radiant.


> `/usr/libexec` -- dead,

Definitely not dead, the XDG portals and Polkit agents live here.


depends on the Distro,

but yes not dead but more like unnecessary added complexity without any benefit for modern Linux systems


"Programs in a standard location, but not in the path" isn't something you need anymore?


It sounds like LinkedIn speak which most people have a natural immune reaction to.
