- Comment on Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO 2 weeks ago:
Except they are missing voice calls on Android, and don’t (as far as I have seen) have video or screen sharing yet.
Those two alone make it a poor replacement at the moment for my friend group. I appreciate the simple setup and all the 1:1 features they have so far, but video and voice are the main things we use discord for.
I have it set up and will try to get some techy friends on board to play with it, but it’s not really there yet to move everybody over. Hopefully the eventually self destruction of Discord will give Revolt the push it needs to finally be a suitable replacement.

Skype is dead, sites like ooVoo are long gone, TeamSpeak seems to be held up in part by game clans.
While I can’t say they actively killed the competition, they certainly gave plenty of services little reason to exist. Discord created such a good and new service, that there wasn’t any reason to leave it for a different service.
- Comment on Colony building sim Mountaincore is now free to play and open source 3 weeks ago:
Seems to be Dwarf Fortress inspired:
- Start with 7 dwarves but you can build and support a population of hundreds.
- A simulated world with changing weather and seasons that have a big impact on gameplay.
- Every one of your settlers has their own needs and desires to fulfil as they work together for the common good.
- A deep crafting tree that leaves no natural resource unused, tied together into satisfying production chains.
- Progress through skill tiers to craft better tools and weapons.
- Trade with merchants to increase your wealth even further.
- Form up and train your military to battle monsters and invaders…
- …or play in Peaceful Mode to chill out with a relaxing city-builder experience.
- Twitch integration (using viewer names for settlers) to encourage stream audience interaction.
- Built “Mod-first” so that everything is moddable.

Your order is correct!
With the help of the other comment suggesting to measure the voltage of VCC, I was able to verify all the pins were working.

I have the pin order now!
I (very carefully) tested the pins for a brief moment to verify it all was working.
First I verified the voltage of vcc as 3.5v. red to that and black to ground worked.
I figured the blue was probably in it’s correct place so I tried it and got video.
Quick test with green have me LED power.
The make part of the plug is borked, so I’ll just solder the wires on. Might even fashion up my own plug if I’m feeling fancy. I’m sure I got some spare connectors lying around somewhere.

Sadly didn’t find any. Even looked at other camera scores in the similar budget range with the hopes that the camera part is reused on other devices. No luck. Not many teardowns of scope cameras.

It’s a bit old and on the budget side. I’ll keep that in mind as a lady resort.

The label is for the through holes, but I did confirm the corresponding pins for the plug with my multimeter.

I don’t believe the pins in the cable are in the right places. Pin 2 is definitely a dead pin. I confirmed the ground pin to the battery connection.

- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 2 months ago:
Lol. It’s so greedy of them!
Jokes aside. It’s an interesting distinction to make. Even though the source code is freely available, it doesn’t mean developers have free reign to do anything they want like they could with open source software. Apart from special circumstances, everything made with the source code will still be mods.

A few takeaways from the move:
- Any modifications must be released as mods
- Players downloading the mods must own the base game
- The mods must be free and no aspect of the mod can be monetized.
- The mods can now access TF2 steam inventory for cosmetics and weapons (but cannot modify the inventory)
