  Hm. I was thinking of the problem in terms of “what is”, and not so much “what it looks like”. SG-1 is a good example, where the argument is that there is no actual magic. Its “sufficiently advanced = looks like magic” not “… = magic”.

  I interpreted the question to consider actual existence of magic. So, I suppose it hinges on how “magic” is actually defined. Where I thought it would be some kind of forces / manipulation of energy that is manipulated by will or tools. Hm… I suppose this is a lot more nuanced.

  Isn’t it always different things? “Magic” being a different set of rules for how the world works. Technology being the things that can be achieved given the rules. And, whether advanced technology is influenced and how, depend on those rules.

  If for example magic is only available to some people with the ability or what not. Technology will always be available regardless.

  Yeh. No fault of course in of itself tho. Gimp developers have tried to make something, but it just hasn’t materialised in the same way as Blender. Kudos for trying.

  I got the lifetime pass 5 years ago. I’ve switched to JF because of the disappointment so far about a year ago.

  JF is exactly what I wanted and needed plex to be, and everything added since is a worsened product. The lifetime pass was an attempt at getting the peace of mind of “then you just have it”. If anything, only FOSS can give that.

  I’m going to give an explanation, without having a single clue as to whether or not is accurate.

  Encryption keys can have many layers, baking in different expiration dates. Rotating one might be required without needing to rotate all.

  MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial “story” thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real “hunt”.

  It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.

  Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

  Is realist an nihilist all that much different than a slightly different point of view of the same scenery?

  That is indeed the joke.

  It’s not the same thing? Emulation of older consoles improve and mod the experience.
