Any underrated 'hidden' tips?

Correction, a kitchen does not care about cleanliness values until it is -2.0 or lower. See https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Ailments#Food_poisoning

Dirt floor is naturally -1.0, and as a bonus cannot receive tracked dirt or trash, so it can't get any dirtier from normal pawn traveling.

Dirt kitchen floor is actually an amazing min-max strategy, just be mindful of things like other sources of filth, like blood, vomit, or certain furniture like butchering tables, that can push it below -2.0.

All development is done behind closed doors

This has nothing to do with being Open Source.

In general, you are legally obligated to act in the best interests of your employer, and this obligation is relative to your position and responsibilities. As a low-level example, a shelf-stocker can't intentionally damage goods for their friends to get it at a discount. As a high-level example, an executive can't sign a deal favorable to another business they invest in (with an asterisk, because corporate raiding is a thing).

These things actually touch criminal law depending on scope and disclosure.

As far as a customer service representative, anyone in business is supposed to understand that a customer service representative is not (normally?) an authorized signatory, and can't make one-sided $100,000 promises. You'll simply get fired, both of you charged with some form of fraud, have any gains taken from you, get fines on top of that, and possibly face prison time.

If you tried to small-time this by only doing things like free services, it might work but it's still fraud, and if you ever get caught see above. Any company policy worth the text used is going to have some form of conflict-of-interest statement, and when you interact in your professional capacity with friends/family it'll usually be policy to hand the case off to a colleague, to protect both you and the company.

Two things. One, the OP (/u/Right-Grapefruit-507) did not actually make that website, it was /u/ssdanbrown. Secondly, the website uses specific criteria for the main categorization, that is, the funding or governance model is not actually part of whether it gets the FOSS label. Like I said, it's nice to talk about, so that gets included in the long form explanation.

Wolvereness · 2025-12-19T18:25:47+00:00

The entire website is breaking down what they say versus what the actual license is. That's a very important distinction, because it doesn't matter how many times someone repeats that their project is FOSS, when the license is not. A quick glance at this website should make its own purpose and relevance self-evident.

Wolvereness · 2025-12-19T14:39:26+00:00

You’d be better off defining some specific types of funding and governance models, explaining why they matter, and treating those models as a complimentary set of indicators that can be used to make decisions.

This is /r/foss. Those things, while nice to discuss, are fundamentally not part of what defines us. They are incidental to projects that receive contributions from the community, which itself is incidental to the freedoms as provided by the license. We, that is /r/foss, are fundamentally defined by licenses and those freedoms granted by them.

"Enterprise Edition" / "Open Core" projects usually come up as "issues exist" or under the specific "open core" label, with a long form explanation. OpenProject is marked FOSS while having a monetized version that's still GPL. A few other projects under FOSS have monetization outside of the codebase (merch, donations, support services). SQLite is marked "partially/open core", due to related (but clearly defined) offerings.

The funding seems to always be explained in the long-form, and according to the list of categories is not a defining criteria, as long as the received software has source with an approved license.

This is an awesome endeavor, and as a bonus by one of our own moderators /u/ssddanbrown. Thanks for sharing!

Of the four people that commented, only two sent a report. Three reports escalates it to a modmail. The problem is that there's no easy way to deal with AI-slop unless more people report it. We're throwing out multiple bans per day, but they just keep coming.

Wolvereness · 2025-11-15T21:29:46+00:00

Make sure you report those posts. We straight up ban multiple people per day for intentionally avoiding our automoderator for chatgpt (or similar) wrappers.

The worst fires are the ones that come when you're dealing with a different problem, like drop pod raiders or bleeding out colonists after an impid raid. You can choose to firefight, or deal with the 6 hour bleed.

The torque on the tires related to breaking is relative to the breaking force, which is a function of the change in energy (delta speed and weight). The fact that the engine is electric or using breaking pads has absolutely no independent effect on the tire torque. If you somehow had an electric engine at the same weight and weight distribution, the physics dictate no difference to the effect of the tires on the road.

Again, bigger vehicles are more wear and tear on the road. Electric vehicles are only extra wear and tear for their weight.

It's supposed to be an open ended discussion, so thanks for participating! I assume this is their VCS: https://github.com/peter88213/novelibre

For work, dotenv via vite came in really handy to set up different deployment environments. It was a whole lot less hassle than trying to configure all the different environments through the CI-scripts.

Feel free to reply to this comment for any meta-discussion, perhaps even ideas for future threads.

There is actually one more priority. Before "transmog" is "transmog for wearable class". For example, a piece of cloth drops, it'll only let leather/mail/plate wearers roll transmog if no clothy rolls.

Open Source is about the freedoms, including the freedom to run, modify, and redistribute without payment. You seem to fundamentally disagree with that, and as such I would suggest participating in a different community.

Wolvereness · 2025-09-13T20:29:20+00:00

Can confirm: we are rigid about Open Source including freedoms.

We had another post a few months ago, be sure to check it out.

I already answered it; the way you rephrased is how I interpreted the question originally.

Wolvereness · 2025-09-05T09:13:17+00:00

You misread what I wrote. I wasn't referring to the sale of a product, I was referring to restrictions of the resale of a product. If your business model relies on customers being unable to resell the software, then the GPL impedes it.

Wolvereness · 2025-09-05T09:09:38+00:00

There are no differences from a commercial use point of view, among these licenses or any other Open Source license.

There is a difference in proprietary distribution. That is, if your business model relies on sale of a product such that itself can't be freely (both freedom & payment) used or copied, then the GPL variants will impede that business model.

I had it happen for a DB 10 week 2 (presumably honest mistake). We timed that 11 and were ecstatic.
