Пару недель назад достроил атомку в #Satisfactory. Иронично: занимаюсь атомными станциями в реальной жизни по работе, и теперь вот в игре тоже.
Понравилось решение разработчиков сделать ядерные отходы неуничтожимыми. Любой ресурс в игре легко удаляется специальной кнопкой, и только атомные энергоблоки производят отходы, которые можно либо переработать очень сложным образом, либо складывать бесконечно куда-то в угол карты. А если хочешь более мощную станцию, то и переработать нельзя, только складывать.
Недавно, кстати, состоялся релиз. До этого игра была в «раннем доступе», то есть формально считалась предварительной версией в активной стадии разработки. В релизе же изящно решили сразу две значительные проблемы. Во-первых, теперь можно дорогим и конечным способом точечно масштабировать энергетику и производство в отдельных местах. Это очень нужно ближе к концу игры для тонкой настройки. Во-вторых, и это самое крутое: можно построить специальный телепорт для ресурсов себе в рюкзак. Носить с собой в рюкзаке сколько угодно ресурсов нельзя, и поэтому для действительно масштабного строительства приходилось постоянно бегать на склад, это очень утомляло. Теперь исключительно целях строительства можно забирать ресурсы с некоторой задержкой прямо из места их производства на фабриках, которые ты построил по всей карте. Но конечно для автоматической передачи в цепочках производства так читерить нельзя, и это правильно. Только организация логистики.
Игра очень хорошо учит выстраивать процессы и дает понимание ничтожности отдельного элемента, если весь процесс включает тысячи таких элементов. В общем, мастхэв, 350 часов наиграно, и до конца ещё далеко.

During out talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that #Google has canceled their plans to lock-down #Android.
Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one.
But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay!
While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices.
Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to.
We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more #FDroid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.
