Wojwo,

Well yeah, we can’t allow government agencies to work properly, because then it would invalidate their claim that all government agencies are shitty and inefficient.

Wojwo,

*He cheated us and we want our money.

Wojwo,

Well yeah. It makes sense when you remember that these people buy that bad things happen because God is unhappy with us. The economy is suffering, because we let drag queens read to children, and that offends God. It’s just the same magical thinking as followers of Apollo trying to appease their god. But now it’s being hijacked by much bigger and more complex political and propoganda machine.

Wojwo,

The homeassist app let’s you do that.

Wojwo,

Thanks for answering, I didn’t see this.

Box86/box64 is frickin dope rpi400 (sh.itjust.works)

I have been messing with my raspberry pi 400 and stumbled across box86. This program converts x86 calls to arm. And it works pretty well, i got the orginal pvz (disk verison) running through wine and box 86! The game is slow on cutscenes but gameplay is suprisingly playable and was more playable then my first pc lmao!...

Wojwo,

To be fair a hotplate could play games better than a p4 and do it while staying cooler.

Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom (apnews.com)

“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency...

Wojwo,

Eh, it’s the culmination of decades of planning and scheming by the Heritage Foundation and others. Donald Trump is just a symptom. Sometimes a single symptom overshadows the whole disease.

Wojwo,

Something definitely happened in the 70s. The civil rights movement of the 60s, seemed to spark a principal skinner moment. Plus Watergate and push back against Vietnam. “Could we be out of touch? No it’s the children”

Communism’s boogeyman effect was wearing off, and the conservatives needed some new material. Racism is always a good lever. So you get the southern strategy, Powell memorandum, Heritage Foundation, and the seeds for what will become Fox News.

I think there’s a good argument for the early 70s as a starting point.

Wojwo,

Ummm, it’s just a rule. What’s to prevent any future president from undoing the rule? It needs to be a law to protect people, and good luck with this house.

Wojwo,

Excellent questions. I’d be more likely to donate if there was a page answering them.

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

Wojwo,

The putt putt line of games. They run on scummvm and my kids love them. Later kings quest, and stardew valley. The lego marvel super heroes on Xbox 360 (I think there’s a pc version) has an entire Manhattan island that they can roam around freely and interact with.

Wojwo,

Another Rider user. I write mainly backed code, and integrations etc. Work is Rider and Datagrip on windows. Home is Debian KDE with Rider and Datagrip. I love it. If only I can convince my it group to allow Debian on my work computer.

Wojwo,

Same. It was a good read though. Getting old sucks for everyone, but I can’t help but feel like we grew up in a particularly magical time where you can remember dial phones all the way through smart phones. It kind of set the wow factor baseline a little high. I don’t know if other people in history have had a similar experience, but I kinda doubt it.

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Wojwo,

I’ll go with a classic, “E.T. the extraterrestrial” on the Atari… It was bad. It’s badness is legendary for a reason.

Wojwo,

No, it was genuinely bad. Yes bugs, but it was also the classic example of corporate overlords forcing “creativity” and hoping that the licensed property would make it a success regardless of the quality.
