You don't necessarily need to buy Fusion, it has a well hidden free tier for personal use, just gotta dig on the site a bit.

Fedora is rather aggressive in pushing Podman. They have their Cockpit control panel for Fedora Server, and they've simply made the Cockpit Docker plugin unavailable when it was working fine, because "use Podman integration plugin instead".

I dunno mate, I've bought a very popular 60W soldering iron for like 2.5 USD. It has a ceramic heater and a knob to adjust the temperature, the default tip it came with is great, and it's also easily disassemblable. It's far better in quality than anything I could've bought locally for the same price.

How long are we gonna be getting those patronizing pieces of advice from people who figured out something based on their experience, made wrong conclusions, and are now eager to "teach" others?

Would've been valid if TTS was, indeed, art, but it's not. Audiobooks won't be able to replace TTS in e-readers just because they need to be produced first. And I don't think my mom would be able to find an audiobook of all the Russian books, or, especially, articles she's reading, and especially synchronise it with the actual book in her reader app.

Somehow the first time I see such pop up in my feed. Glad that someone (judging by the comments that is not the only one project) is working on this, of course I am rather far from the field but to me this feels like a step in the right direction for advancing AI past the hyperadvanced parrot stage that is the current "AI" is (at least per my perception).

The bugfixes you said are not really something fixed by Phobos, IIRC those can be fixed using INI editing.

Without modifying the game some occassional bugfixes are applied anyways. Among those are elevation overshooting bugfix (not very visible ingame because of artillery not using arcing projectiles in vanilla), some units "dying" multiple times because of damage applied to them during dying, maybe some else.

This is like 2% of Phobos though. As said, this is mostly a tool for modding, so to use most features you need to modify the game's INI files.

Basically it patches bugs found in the original game and provides new engine features. RA2YR engine is not like modern game engines, you don't have a scripting language, everything is configured via config files without the need to code, hence modders can't implement custom game mechanics apart from what the engine provides. For example, per-unit shields with additional HP and different armor were not possible to do, with Phobos it is possible.

Flecs v4.0 Is Out 2 years ago

Uhh it's not really new, I think it's been around for like 20 year-ish? Flecs though does bring new stuff to the table, for example relationships, which all the other ECS implementations do not.
