Pr for the Ptolemaic temple: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/133

@ShadowOfHassen As in real life I'm all for blindly following the government in everything! And as they were a Macedonian dynasty... But seriously, all their buildings are Hellenic; I doubt every house in Egypt was remodeled/rebuilt to look Greek at that time, still we go with it. I'm not particularly against an Egyptian temple but I'm fine with just keeping the Greek suite.

Yes, ShadowOfHassen can edit the Wiki, but not the issues. So it works.

Through the web UI, it said I couldn't upload any file that was bigger than 50 MB, and I haven't been able to git push anything so, so far, no.

If you add me to the Docs team, I'll test it.

The snap is built on the ubuntu thingy, not on our servers. By the way with the new vulkan shaders, the shader build takes at least 5 hours on the macosCI, and 1 hour on my M1 mac. + the rest of the time +- 2h Since the flatpack is standalone, that's possibly a lot more time to make a release Trust me, I went for as much automation as I could, and still a release took about 24hours + time to make the trailer

Because of the complexity of modern software, I believe it's utterly important to keep third-party dependencies to a minimum when developing software. One of the worst offenders there is probably the JavaScript eco-system, where you quickly pull in dependencies by the hundreds if not thousands. It's kind of interesting. I'd argue that the vast majority of people are ethical and as corporations consist of people they therefore should be ethical as well. However, once a corporation reaches a certain size, its employees start making unethical decisions (or at least decisions which aren't in the interest of their customers).

Those distribution builds are done by distribution maintainers and not wfg. Sure sometimes they run into issues and might ask a quetion or two but more often than not they provide patches and it can be considered a net win for the project. From the viewpoint of wfg flatpack is just yet another binary repo. That reminds me of https://xkcd.com/927/ I'm a Linux user for 30 years and still not yet a fundamentalist. What I expect from binaries is that I could build them myself and that they are from a trusted source, also I want to get notified of security issues and them being taken care of in a professional and timely manner. Lastly it should be functional. This is what a distribution maintainer is for and if you want to take care of flatpack you will have to take up the same role. Whether the binary format is PE, ELF or Mach-O I don't care and don't see why I should. So the really bad I really don't understand. Wine is a recursive acronym for wine is not an emulator. Sometimes a software actually runs faster in wine than on Windows. I remember getting about twice the FPS for Diablo II. Ofc an Linux package is preferable all else equal. Debian builds for 4 different archs https://packages.debian.org/stable/0ad, so no single binary to rule them all. There are more archs than that running Linux, some somewhat recent patches suggest people also want to run 0ad on risc-v and e2k. Not money but man-hours. Half a day would be not unusual I'd estimate. Add to that that bugs with that package would be come our bugs instead of theirs. If you want to help I guess you'd have to be familiar with building from source, packaging software, willing to commit for several years, live in a country were law can reach you and possibly meet a current developer IRL for exchanging keys.

Chat GPT about royal yurts. I decided to start with easy questions. Mongolian royal yurts were magnificent! They were much more than simple dwellings; they were symbols of power, status and tradition. These yurts were large and spacious, designed to house not only the Mongol leader, but also his court, guards and entourage. Compared to ordinary yurts, royal yurts were more luxurious and ornate. They were decorated with exquisite fabrics, furs and elaborate embroidery, often in bright colors. The interior of a royal yurt might include finely carved furniture, sumptuous carpets and other valuables. The design and layout of the royal yurt also reflected the hierarchical structure of Mongol society. There were designated areas for the leader, his family members, advisors and high officials, each with its own purpose and symbolism. In addition, the royal yurts were designed to be disassembled and transported quickly, allowing the Mongol leader to maintain his mobility during military campaigns and expeditions. This mobility was essential to the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols, as it allowed them to adapt to changing terrain and conditions. In short, royal yurts were impressive structures that reflected the wealth, power and unique culture of the Mongol leaders.
