@b0rk Proton and Wine Staging are both examples of long-lived forks that I think rebase specifically because they want very detailed bookkeeping on the current differences from upstream, but not necessarily how they got there.

@b0rk I used both in different situations, so the idea that it's situational appeals to me personally. I think I look at it as: how likely am I to care about my changes to upstream as a logical series? If I want to revert some of my changes, bisect compared to the upstream, port some changes to other projects with the same upstream, or send a subset of them upstream, rebasing now will save me time later. If not, I probably don't care and will merge.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd It's been a while but I'm making another attempt to finish Klonoa.

It sure would be nice if blocking someone also muted replies to them (for list-type things) so I wouldn't keep seeing half of an inane argument. -Cole

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Still working on BIT.TRIP Runner.

https://twitch.tv/madewokherd When I was a kid, I rented Super Metroid and never found Bombs. Well, I know where they are now but I'm still going to pick them up.

@Sophie Does it allow binding the same buttons on 2 controllers to different actions on the same player? Lots of games won't let me do that and I have to resort to external bindings.

@kistaro I haven't worked with Steam Input recently but I feel like it should be possible to bind the action to a button press, in which case 1 press should result in 1 action (activating or deactivating the layer).

Thinking about Google responding to the popularity of ad blockers by trying to put up technical barriers. I'd say they're putting enough effort into it that they must consider ad blocking a threat to their business.
Yet I don't see them making any attempt to address the critical problems that make ad blocking necessary. I figure they feel they either can't fix those problems, or wouldn't make money if they did. Either one would mean their business can't exist without scams.

@lioness OK this has inspired us to really revamp this particular aspect of the automated mind-fuckery system. -Menderbot

@lioness We ended up just programming the device to periodically remind ourselves of both of those things instead. But we hadn't considered combining the two. -Menderbot

@lioness Having a specific idea of what a particular headmate might look like if they existed sounds likely plural to me. It could mean you're picking up a desire from a spark (ask Joanna in my discord about sparks & shells sometime if you want to hear an interesting theory) that isn't yet able to express that desire overtly. At this point we just run with that kind of thing when it happens.

@lioness Out of curiosity (don't do it now if you can't afford a loss of function in the short term), have you ever made it explicit internally that you want others to get it contact? Like, you know whether you do or not but have you ever actually said it to yourself? -Menderbot

@lioness FWIW we didn't discover plurality by someone "getting in contact" because we were already chatting constantly (with learning hypnosis thankfully cutting down on the chatter) and just didn't know how to tell ourselves apart. So, you know, it can be subtle. -Menderbot
