Hello, yes, rubidity started as a joke (by Middlemarch a.k.a. Tom Lehman this summer). can it get any more stupid!? let’s try. some years ago i put together an ethereum simulator called universum (yes, in ruby). now that rubidity is a kind of better (or 100% solidity-compatible) version of secure ruby i put together a 2nd generation ethereum simulator (universum v2) called … drum roll, please … simulacrum. i published the first rubidity-simulacrum gem (v0.1) that lets you run (dumb) blockchain contracts in rubidity (with 100%-solidity compatible data types & abis) on an ethereum simulacrum in your own home for fun & profit (for free). happy blockchain programming with ruby & rubidity.

Their latest round of stupidity pops up a new EULA and forces you to take it or, again, you can’t access your stuff. But that’s just more unenforceable garbage, so who cares, right? Well, it’s getting worse. It seems they are planning on dropping an update which will force you to log in. Yep, no longer will your stuff Just Work across the local network. Now it will have yet another garbage “cloud” “integration” involved, and they certainly will find a way to make things suck even worse for you. This should be illegal.
