where_am_i,

Your nostalgia is a bad reason for starting anything really. Most hopefully you won’t push your nostalgia on your children and force them to play outdated games.

It would be great if game developers would open source games when they sunset them, sure. But also this might make it impossible for them to make a remaster of the game and sell it.

You mention doom. But this is a 0.1% case. Thousands of games from that era vanished not because you cannot run them on modern hardware, but because they’re utter garbage by modern standards.

dos.zone exists, and you can play a lot of iconic games in your browser. What’s exactly the player count there? And those are the best games from that era.

Great. In order to prove your commitment to the cause, get to level 8 in dangerous dave.

History is important, although more recent history books have better evidence and data than old ones. Literature, generally, ages well, although it’s mostly survival bias. A lot of it perishes without any loss to the society. Movies sorta age well. Again, only some. Games don’t age well.

where_am_i,

could.

What a BS article. It doesn’t even explain what paper used what mechanism for this conclusion. Baity headline, article mostly talks about something else, and the main thing isn’t properly explained.

I could always build a model that shows something something could.

I could also build a model showing that geo-enginerring by one region will be beneficial to the other regions.

Now what?

where_am_i,

Gaza needs an independent state AMD de-radicalization. And education on their shared history.

I guess, someone told the yahu, that he’ll have to accept an independent Gaza state. So now he’s bargaining conditions for that.

where_am_i,

forced to. It has been democratically chosen. People wanted cheaper stuff no matter from where, however produced. So, eventually, all manufacturing moved to china. And now, yes, you, anon, are forced. But this choice was made by the society you live in, not by evil corpos or a secret government.

where_am_i,

So, if it’s bacterial, isn’t all that I would need for that is a course of antibiotics?

I mean, this desease is not a threat even if it starts spreading.

where_am_i,

If you’re degoogling, then just do that instead of freeloading on google services and complaining that they either have to monetize your data or shove ads down your throat.

Find a paid service free of any of that. There are multiple out there.

where_am_i,

I don’t think we need transformers and flying in doom tbh, but it looks like we’ll have to deal with it now.

Otherwise this joke on a hexen reboot is the ultimate meme of the reboot. And is much more intriguing than doing “doom eternal plutonia experiment”.

The ancient holy wars part of the lore that you read in sentinel prime is the most intriguing part of the doom guy’s story. Links back to seraphim too. Walking through sentinel prime and reading all those things I really felt like I’d like to have seen those days. Oh boy, here we come!

where_am_i,

meh, they’ll learn that we like their hardware and their OS, but not their spyware. If everyone does that, you’ll see next thing they do is start cutting down the spying.

where_am_i,

And, so you’re all certain that 30% of the population is actually queer and doesn’t just follow some hype?

where_am_i,

server-chan!

where_am_i,

Marketing for “the hardware will be outdated sh1t”.

They planned and designed switch 2 a few years ago and are only releasing it now. The hardware will be less powerful than a mid-range smartphone. But it will be better than switch 1. So, evolution, right?

where_am_i,

The north-west speaks Portuguese, the north-east speaks french, basques speak a language that’s not even Indo-European. South is rednecks, and the rest is madrid + some desert. But, sure, the the nice infographic from someone else.

where_am_i,

Actually, those are great news. Now this fascist political movement can be effectively discredited. Expose them and spread the word. They’re not the new power, they’re Putin’s puppets. Oh boy that’s embarrassing, huh?

where_am_i,

you think you’re attractive enough?

In France, the Future Is Arriving on a Barge: The Seine is becoming a test case for a European plan to cut carbon emissions by turning rivers into the new highways (www.nytimes.com)

As pale morning light flickered across the Seine, Capt. Freddy Badar steered his hulking river barge, Le Bosphore, past picturesque Normandy villages and snow-fringed woodlands, setting a course for Paris....

where_am_i,

I really don’t understand how transporting by water is better for the environment vs by train. Electric barges just aren’t a thing.

Freight trains though slow down passenger rail a lot which is a priority in Europe, and so those trains usually run on different routes and at night. Essentially, a good passenger rail network is kinda bad for the freight trains.

where_am_i,

just install the compressor in reverse and done you got a heater.

where_am_i,

You sign up, you get a rifle, you shoot a barrack full of ruzzkie. Seems like the only way.

where_am_i,

A lesson to a bunch of dumb tourists.

As somebody already tweeted: you can freely access GPT4 premium by talking to the support bot on Toyota’s web site. (it was some car manufacturer for all I remember)

where_am_i,

what, are you federated from lemmy.world and being salty?

where_am_i,

classic!

where_am_i,

exactly. For how much longer will we be waiting?

where_am_i,

Addressing the real issue in the meme. Thanks, captain.

where_am_i,

Oh, look, here’s another lemmy post on the topic: lu.skbo.net/post/1438457

where_am_i,

Living in a big city there’s nothing more reliable than a subway. Driving you might always get stuck in traffic. But if you take the Metro your travel time is guaranteed to be as predicted.

where_am_i,

The heck are you all talking about? The post says Linux and Flatpack, while everyone somehow is discussing why signal is not on f-driod.

How the heck is this related?

where_am_i,

Luckily for me, I’m on an Ubuntu derivative. So apt upgrade just does it. Sorry, OP, works for me in my preferred way, I don’t need any flatpacks. Let’s hope once they do one they keep building .debs nonetheless.

where_am_i,

This is just so bad. I can’t use anything snap/flatpack cuz it simply won’t let me send a file. As it runs on it’s on file subsystem and doesn’t have access to anything else.

On the other hand, an app that has access to my entire hard-drive is awfully insecure, right? So, what’s the solution?

in the meantime they could include an option “I allow this app to acess my whole $HOME, thanks, I need it cuz I am a user not a security researcher”. Until then I’m not touching flatpack

where_am_i,

Last time I installed slack through flatpack I couldn’t send any files. Not through drag-and-drop, neither through the filepicker. The latter was just empty.

Downloading files from slack also had awfully weird side-effects.

Slack doesn’t have an apt repo, so I download debs and updat manually. Maybe once half-a-year.

If that’s the experience I’d get on my signal through flatpack, I’d also rather be downloading manually. And I’d even compile from source rather than deal with that flatpack stuff.

where_am_i,

Heads up, OP: these eggs have been industrially washed, sterilized, then someone took a feather and glued it on them. Look it up.

You ever wondered why you’d find at most one of them per box?

Basically, you’re as big of an idiot as your portrait of an American grocery shopper, but you’re also a naive hypocrite.

where_am_i,

OP, that’s what it would’ve looked like. Your eggs been industrially washed. What a moron is that OP.

where_am_i,

because if you’d ever seen unwashed eggs, you would immediately know.

where_am_i,

check out decino on YT.

where_am_i,

It would be nice for things to have clear definitions.

So trans either means specifically man-woman dysphoria or it means “not feeling like a gender I’m supposed to be”, then all non-binaries are also called trans. But not “whoever wants to call themselves whatever”. Because then I just gotta ask follow up questions if I actually wanna know. E.g. you’d say something like “I’m queer”. Yeah, great, so, where do we start?

Plot twist, I’m telling people I’m queer even though I’m a straight dude because I believe in gender equality, which defies gender identity as a concept, so essentially I’m non-binary, so I’m trans, so I’m oh boy so queer. True story.

where_am_i,

you hit apt update and get an add for Ubuntu pro. Invasive ads in my linux? no thanks.

where_am_i,

we had a ducking sane file structure on symbian. Before apple knew what smartphone means. We had sane file structure on siemens phones.

There’s no excuse for the unholy abomination of what manufacturers call an “operating system” on a smartphone these days.
