The "free exchange of ideas" isn't really a marketplace. It's a potluck.
Everybody brings their own ideas, and you're free to sample as many as you like. Some are familiar recipes. Some are classics with a twist. Some are interesting but not to your taste. Some are straight up bad. Some are life-changing. The point is, you can discuss recipes or cooking techniques or ingredients as you sample the food.
If someone brings, say, mashed potatoes, you can debate its appropriateness at the potluck. Will it get cold on the table? Do carbohydrates make up too much of our diet?
But if someone strides up and sets a big steaming pile of dog shit on the table, next to grandma's casserole and the mashed potatoes, that's a problem. And it's not because we're "afraid" of eating their dog shit, or we're worried dog shit will "revolutionize" lunch. It's dog shit. We tell them to get that dog shit off the damn table.
This is why we don't let Nazis come to the potluck. Some ideas are just dog shit.
For those not at Akademy, the #starcitizen free fly event is still on until tomorrow, if you were hoping to try that out! Bunch of details on that over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizenreferrals/comments/1514wlu/starf3v9nvlk_for_5000_uec_free_greycat_stv_with/ and if you need help, give us a poke! :)
@Plus_Ultra o7 citizen, don't stress yourself out for us, we would all much prefer you staying around than burning too hard!
Gap bridging time! @sitter@fosstodon.org making words about the Selenium ui testing tool, and talking about foggy forests :)
Matrix and ActivityPub stuff going on in room 2 at #akademy2023 - and also important and definitely real, historical quotes ;)
@kdenlive I did not realise nested timelines was so far ahead, this looks great! :)
Time for #akademy2023 day two, with the @kdenlive team talking about their amazing video editor :)
@tdfischer @kdedude@fosstodon.org just, like, so cool

a strange idea that came to me: what if furry musicians united and made some kind of furry label cooperative that publishes music made by furries for free. what if they have a channel with music videos or tracks, like cloudkid/lithuania hq or trap nation for example. like i think it would be cool

I like this quote:
“The problem is that electric cars are popular with politicians precisely because they provide an excuse to avoid doing harder things, like rebuilding our cities, or changing the habits of lifetimes. Persuading people to switch from their old gasoline car to a shiny Tesla is much easier than persuading them that they can live without a car. Hence governments are pushing electric cars, often with incentives that make no sense.” - Daniel Knowles, author of Carmageddon

This is what it looked like from the outside while we were recording - just us in my RSI Constellation Phoenix being pretty, with PO being pretty, and the gas giant Crusader also being pretty in the background. Personally think it's pretty, anyway ;)
As per usual with things like this: Don't spend until you want to, and don't spend more than feels sensible. This is a "buy to play" game, so anything called a "game package" will get you perpetual access to the game, but also don't buy until you've at least tried it a bit. That said, this is a good time to nab a package, as two of the game packages are on offer. Personally i like the 100i, but the Aurora MR will do just fine, and is the cheapest way to get in the game for forever :)

Hello #Starcitizen Friends! Time for another King's Corner, and this time it's all, like, topic based and stuff, where Dimi chats with Meep and your truly about the future and past of the first station in the game, Port Olisar, which is scheduled for replacement in the next patch: https://cstone.space/media-art/king-s-corner/21-an-interview-with-meepowski-and-leinir
Also, if you want to try the game - hang on for a few more hours, there's a free-fly due to start today, and i'll drop some infos on the topic when that time comes :)
