wtf...... did Oracle seriously change the licenses, so that anyone making e.g. Java games now has to pay a license to use it?? |
| 08:31 |
|
aditsu |
you don't need to pay if you use openjdk or old java versions (I think) |

aditsu, Every thought about turning this channel into a Discord server? |

not really.. |
| 17:23 |
|
mr_lou |
I has #IndieGameMusic on EsperNet for years. Every now and then a single dude would join... stay for 4 minutes.. leave. |
| 17:23 |
|
mr_lou |
I never had a larger group of people there. |
| 17:23 |
|
mr_lou |
Then I decided to try out Discord. Made a server for IndieGameMusic there. |
| 17:24 |
|
mr_lou |
Within 2-3 weeks it had 500 people. |
| 17:24 |
|
aditsu |
:O really? |
| 17:24 |
|
mr_lou |
Ye... |
| 17:24 |
|
aditsu |
how did they find it? |
| 17:24 |
|
mr_lou |
Currently 624 members, it says. |
| 17:24 |
|
mr_lou |
Well I put the invitation link at the top of the site. |
| 17:26 |
|
mr_lou |
Currently 7 gamedevs online, 56 musicians online, and 46 other people online who hasn't been assigned a role. |
| 17:27 |
|
aditsu |
I guess I could try.. pdurbin what do you think about it? |
| 17:29 |
|
mr_lou |
Then, because it was a succes, I made another server for blu-play.com |
| 17:30 |
|
mr_lou |
It currently has 166 members. |
| 17:30 |
|
mr_lou |
You just won't get that amount of interest on IRC. |
| 17:30 |
|
mr_lou |
It's not that I was/is a fan of Discord. I really like and prefer IRC. But you gotta be where people are... |
| 17:30 |
|
aditsu |
you did mention it before |
| 17:30 |
|
mr_lou |
I did? |
| 17:30 |
|
mr_lou |
I mentioned Discord before? |

| 17:31 |
|
mr_lou |
Ok, well I'm still not a fan as such. I'm just there. :) |
| 17:32 |
|
aditsu |
and I also mentioned something about "open platforms" :p |
| 17:32 |
|
mr_lou |
How about that. The logs say I made a server for blu-play first, and then for IGM. I remember it the other way around. I'm getting old. |
| 17:33 |
|
aditsu |
discord is more user-friendly indeed, though it's proprietary |
| 17:36 |
|
pdurbin |
For a short time I hung out in the Discord channel for https://www.programmingthrowdown.com but it didn't stick with me. I've heard good things about https://pythondiscord.com |
| 17:38 |
|
aditsu |
if I make a discord server, will you join? :p |
| 17:39 |
|
aditsu |
or you're just not using discord in general |
| 17:40 |
|
aditsu |
I am actively using it (mainly for a game), so since I'm already there, I guess making a server is not a big deal |
| 17:40 |
|
pdurbin |
Ah, no, I'm not actively there. If there's a weechat plugin, maybe. :) |
| 17:42 |
|
aditsu |
yeah that's where "not an open platform" issue comes in.. |
