Вернулся в #satisfactory после длинного перерыва. Не отпускает меня эта игра, слишком залипательно, невозможно остановиться.
Хотел соорудить универсальную фабрику под всё, даже разработал неплохую схему: основная шина из параллельных конвейеров с разными видами ресурсов, в нужных местах от лент ответвления к сборочным линиям, а от линий обратно в шину уже новый ресурс. На бумаге выглядело хорошо, на практике очень утомительно строить и поддерживать, а ещё место быстро заканчивается даже на воде, где максимально открытые большие участки.
Пришёл к решению: отдельные специализированные фабрики под каждый вид деталей, а между ними железнодорожная сеть с нужными ресурсами. Лёгким движением руки игра превратилась в железнодорожный симулятор — стрелки, секционные и путевые светофоры, погрузочные станции. Поезда сделаны классно, с прикольной анимацией, по виду это футуристичный монорельс (на скринах не один путь, а два параллельных в разные стороны). Пока не открыл доставку дронами, там должно быть ещё попроще (но полностью заменить железку они не смогут — пропускная способность не та).
Дошёл до производства алюминия через добычу боксита. Впервые поймал себя на мысли, что не хочу вырубать красивый лес под фабрику, пусть даже и виртуальный, очень уж приятно смотрится. Построил в сторонке.
На таких масштабах уже проявляются недостатки игры: не автоматизируются рутинные операции при строительстве (в отличие от того же Factorio), вид от первого лица и трёхмерность усложняют аккуратное размещение конструкций, прокладка путей с некоторыми багами. Но всё равно очень круто. 140 часов общее игровое время, больше чем Ведьмак 3 со всеми сайдами и дополнениями. Впереди обработка кварца, а потом — атомная энергетика. Ух.

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.
