Actually, I do find this thread interesting and/or appropriate. It would be as relevant to me as say a discussion of OpenCobalt (a distributed 3D environment built on Squeak and derived from Croquet, another 3D Squeak environment) or WebGL. 3D graphics is one of my primary focuses (foci?), so I may have a weakness for discussions of that nature.

I lurk on this list precisely to get new and different perspectives and to be exposed to non-mainstream ideas on a broad variety of topics. And so far, it has been pretty successful in achieving this goal. I don't generally have much to contribute, but I do enjoy reading the topics brought up here and I find them pretty stimulating.

cheers, danm

fair enough, mostly just trying to find where the lines of appropriateness are...
sorry for any inconvenience.


so, I guess what I have determined so far:
programming languages are ok;
hardware is sometimes ok (provided it does not run x86 or ARM, like alternative HW only);
physics and biology are ok;
FOSS game engines are not ok (unless the topic is voxels or metaverse or similar? like a few weeks ago);
internet is maybe ok (browsers/... seem ok);
...

hmm...

well, maybe the pattern will be understood eventually?...


maybe some sort of description of what is and is not ok would make sense, like a description of the bounds of appropriateness or what constitutes a valid topic or similar?...

links: errm... these don't make sense, I am not sure I get the intention here.

the first 2 links seem to just contain assorted comments with little apparent relation between them.

sorry, I don't know if anyone here will find any of this interesting.



removed, as apparently it was not interesting.
