Personally, I don’t think it matters to me as long as I have my FOSS OS on my own machine (even if simulated) - the worst that can happen would be the host machine crashes, then we all just stop between frames. We’d stop existing in plank time.
Absolutely proprietary.
It’s FOSS, everyone can contribute, animals are mods and testers.
FOSS
I think a civilization advanced enough to simulate a reality this complex probably isn’t trapped in capitalism/feudalism
I would hope a species that intelligent isn’t still holding resources and information hostage to prop up an artificially superior class.
They’d be running on FOSS but this is the world they’re sticking us in ? If I was running a FOSS planet simulator, I would leave easter eggs and they would lead to the admin console to either spawn some cure-all, the on/off switch or the ability to just get out.
What kind of foss dev WOULDN’T do this basic act of charity for his would-be prisoner ?
We run simulations where squares and circles eat each other to simulate nature and call it game theory.
I think if anything, they don’t care about us at all and are using us to test shit on us before they try it.
I mean… The sad thing is, “artificially superior” can also mean literally superior, given enough time for the rich to self-modify and/or isolate.
Proprietary. Whoever paid for our server did not spring for the premium version where every planet has sentient alien life.
It works, so it must be Foss. Maybe that quantum thing is proprietary drivers?
Sounds like we can fuzz that for some serious vulnerabilities.
Technically proprietary software, but that’s only because the hardware is unique. It might be free, but I can’t see the source or install it on other universes.
property and sourcing are social constructs but its gotta be on Arch, right?
Arch runs me, btw.
Depends. If some higher dimensional beings are running the simulation, neither. Its government software.
Absolutely suspicious.
FOSS for sure. If it were proprietary we’d be seeing substantially more guardrails, and new releases would be scheduled more predictably with way less of an impact; but occasionally everything would stop working for like 72 hours… I’ve not seen EVERYTHING stop working for 72 hours in my lifetime.
Would that not give as a meaning of life though? It’s almost like the Matrix movies, a trapped society on a simulation? That would be cool in my opinion.

Have you read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? :3
Have you read the Kama Sutra? :3
I actually need to XD
Proprietary. If we’re part of a simulation, it’s being run by a fucking oligarch.
