I hope they made it impossible to mod. In my new but rapidly growing religion, “modding” (desacrating) games is a mortal sin. Elder Scrolls games have damned the souls of many hairy, soft-bodied men.

Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That’s like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.

Then what are they doing here?

You can read paywalled articles. You aren’t considering that possibilty because you think you’re entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can’t participate? It isn’t. If that’s not your point, what is it?

We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.

You’re not really making a point. Of course, you may not be trying to.

Not every post is for everyone. (And like Rachel said, not reading an article has not typically prevented people from entering a discussion and I don’t think it ever will. That’s often perfectly fine, someone can offer insight in response to what people are saying in the comments.) Imagine an interesting, long form article written by an independent writer whose livelihood depends on subscriptions. So not a news story with many alternatives, in other words. Why shouldn’t someone link to it, and say “here’s a great article, I recommend subscribing to this writer?”

Seemed like an appropriate thing to post, but I guess it’s not what this community wants. 😏

So a pretty unpopular opinion, huh?

The phrase “rogue state” to me always just sorta meant “uncooperative with the United States,” which the United States can’t be. I’m sure there’s a more useful definition.

Catgirls, jackalgirls, all embarrassing. Go full-on furry.

I saw on Mastodon someone say something kinda like this: good people don’t feel the need to dominate others.

I worry this is just rationalizing ones passivity as just an inherent part of ones assumed “goodness.”

That’s good, they might have improved. Mine didn’t last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can’t really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don’t manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I’ve used.

Framework hasn’t done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

It’s trivial to enable flathub, so it’s not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It’s just a default.

Probably even worse than that.

This has less RAM, but it’s the same CPU. You can see it’s consistently 3 to 4 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 4! They are not joking about this not being for general use.

A Dev board like this is pretty cool, though. It could help pave the way to a performant board later.

I think it’s because it’s work. Its hard to have any positive feelings toward a tool used primarily to talk to annoying coworkers and bosses. It doesn’t matter how good it bad it is.

Not one, but two references to e621 in this thread. And neither are from users on the furry instances. Much to think about.
