14:36 cheapie Looks like Moldi has some competition now: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/images/screenshot_20251219_083436.png
14:54 MTDiscord <wsor4035> do you get mugged if you go around back?
15:20 jaca122 joined #luanti
15:40 cheapie wsor4035: Ehh... you don't wanna go back there, but more because of this: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/images/screenshot_20251219_093945.png
15:41 cheapie Back when I built Moldi I stuck a little "disclaimer" sign on it saying "This store is not meant to imply that products from Aldi are poor quality. Aldi is actually pretty great."
15:42 cheapie User11 stuck a similar sign on Ghetto saying "This store is not meant to imply that products from Netto are that poor quality. Netto is actually somewhat OK." :P
15:43 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> "Signo: THis store is not meant to imply that products from stores that have signs that say that those stores are not meant to imply that products from the stores they parody are poor quality. Those stores are actually somewhat OK"
15:44 cheapie 1/4 Market got a new product recently too: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/images/Screenshot_20251217_175532.png
15:47 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> oh gosh, I didn't even realise the "ghetto" store was supposed to be a parody of netto
15:51 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> have they rebranded? don't think they exist here anymore but when it did they had black text on a yellow background and a dog holding a shopping cart in its mouth...
15:52 cheapie IIRC it's like Aldi where there are two companies with the same name
15:54 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> ah gosh, there seems to be even three ones with the same name... I must have been thinking of the danish one
15:55 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> > Netto is a French discount supermarket chain owned by the Les Mousquetaires group. [...] This chain of stores is neither owned nor affiliated with the Netto owned by the Danish Salling Group or the Netto owned by the German Edeka Group.
15:55 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> I'm sure their trademark lawyers are really happy about that situation
15:56 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> wow that's even more than target (AU) and target (USA)
15:59 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> > [Netto Marken-Discount] is unrelated to the Danish Netto chain, which has operations in several German states, or the French-owned Netto discount store that used the same logo. However Edeka owned 25% of a joint venture with the Danish Netto, which was sold in 2012.
15:59 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> collusion...! the plot thickens.
16:00 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> it's all controlled by the deep netto, that was an accidental exposure
16:00 cheapie Whichever Netto is the one with the red/yellow logo, it apparently doesn't have a very good reputation from what I've heard
16:02 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> probably makes sense, they're all supposed to be budget discount supermarkets. hit or miss depending on the day what they take in
16:03 cheapie Aldi seems to be aiming for the same thing and yet at least here in the US they're one of the best stores here, so *shrug*
16:03 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> that says more about USA quality standard than anything else I think
16:03 cheapie yeah
16:05 cheapie Context for those outside of the US: we have Aldi (Süd) here, they're huge, I think they're something like the 3rd-largest grocery store chain here now
16:06 sfan5 do they bag your groceries for you
16:06 cheapie no
16:07 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I don't think you're allowed to do that if it's called Aldi, you get disappeared
16:07 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I don't know what's got me in such a conspiratorial-seeking mood
16:09 * cheapie hmms at some stuff in Bonnthal, wonders why BDOT always leaves their traffic signal control cabinets wide open
16:09 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> but while I'm here, I'm gonna put it out there that mojang stopped obfuscation (1) to increase their chance of claiming the other party violated the terms of the software licence in a reverse engineered program
16:09 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> (2) to get free QA work from their massive content creator base
16:10 cheapie (2) reminds me of the situation in The Sims 3 with all of the community-made patches to fix or work around bugs in the game
16:10 cheapie EA: We make the games, you make 'em work™
16:11 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> honestly you're probably right on the (1) part, I was thinking about the same when I heard the news (actually I think we had this discussion about it on matrix when it happened too)
16:11 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yeah it was mentioned earlier
16:15 bgstack15 Blockhead256: what "other party" are you suggesting?
16:15 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> I do wonder how yarn has dealt with the fact they will be seeing the copyrighted mappings as soon as they crack open the jar. my hypothesis was that they would abandon their own project and just go with mojmaps since the whole thing of providing "clean-room" CC0 licensed mappings for decompiled code that is still copyrighted is... unclear how useful that is for the modding ecosystem
16:15 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> someone who creates a re-implementation of Minecraft in some way or copies code off of them
16:17 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> IANAL, so I couldn't say though what constitutes an infringing copy of Java code
16:18 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> also some people (read: redditors) still seem to think that java edition is gonna be fully open sourced or at least source available... which is terribly optimistic IMO, but I guess we will see
16:18 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> or a derivative work
16:19 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I don't expect anything even as good as unreal engine's source availability
16:19 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> yeah probably
16:19 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> and they will almost definitively not publish the entire commit history either
16:22 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> so just like when they started publishing obfuscation mappings or removed the obfuscation it would just be the latest version at the time which I am not particularly interested in... I want some old version like a1.1.2_01 or b1.7.3 to be freed, whatever it would take
16:22 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> for clearance/non-infringement reasons? because surely the rev. eng. of those is done by now..
16:28 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> yeah I guess one could pick enough modders' brains to manage to do a clean room reimplementation by now
16:28 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> I mean classicube seems to be doing alright at least, but that's much older and pre-survival

20:35 user333_ almost 100 open PRs ;-;
20:40 MTDiscord <et086> merge them all without hesitation or review
20:41 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> it's on a cycle of 80-100
20:44 burgeresque user333: almost 100 open PRs ;-;
20:44 burgeresque is that a yay or a nay

20:50 user333_ "merge them all without hesitation or review" lgtm
20:52 Desour in a simple predator and pray population simulation, when the population of the pray goes up, the predator follows the trend and eats the pray, resulting in the pray population to go down, resulting in less food for the predators. in the end you get two waves. are the issues predator or pray?
20:52 Desour s/issues/PRs/
20:52 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> prey are PRs, predators are people noticing that there are many PRs
21:02 cheapie Traffic sign in Bonnthal downstream of that one escalator lmisu built that tends to launch players: "pedestrians may exceed 80 MPH"
21:26 silverwolf73828 joined #luanti
21:45 pgimeno way off topic, but these waves (coming from the Volterra-Lotka equations IIRC) can be seen by starting the simulation here (sorry, page in Spanish, just click the button "(Re)Comenzar"): https://orden-y-concierto.blogspot.com/2013/04/laboratorio-de-evolucion.html
21:51 Desour ah, right, Volterra-Lotka, that's what it was called, thx :)
21:51 Desour my browser can translate spanish c:
