3·2 days agoYes sorry, I didn’t realize that until I posted it and saw all of the “cross-posted to:” links. It’s the first time it’s posted to this community though, and I think it’s an important topic.
I will get a custom paint job on my car depicting a person driving while on their phone with no seatbelt on.
If you distribute Linux crackers then you need to provide not just the list of ingredients but also the recipe used to make them.

Now that’s a take I wasn’t expecting to see.
The past tense of the verb “to lead” is “led.”
“Lead” is a heavy metal.
7·7 days agoIt’s one of the most anticipated translations because it’s a beautiful looking game that is just impenetrable if you don’t speak Japanese. The best we had before was a translation script that you could read along with a walkthrough guide, but that’s not the way most people like to play a game.
It’s not surprising that if you start a project for a game like this and then go no-contact for a decade, people will start to look to see if they can pick up where you left off. There’s this unwritten rule in the fan-translation community that you don’t start working on a game that someone else has already started working on, but what is the time limit on that?
It seems like everyone in this situation could have done a better job of communicating in the first place, and then could have been more gracious to eachother after the fact.

23·10 days agoSeven people in France have been arrested and charged for allegedly cyberbullying the artistic director of the Paris Olympics this summer, French authorities announced last Friday.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said the arrests were the “first wave” in a series of prosecutions they intend to carry out in the aftermath of a coordinated campaign threatening Thomas Jolly, the mastermind of the opening and closing ceremonies at the XXXIII Olympiad in July and August.

45·10 days agoI should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:
“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”
“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C
Is this a joke
or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy
I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.
The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.
8·15 days agoDoes Croc have a big enough fanbase to be able to pull off an exclusivity deal?
What an inflammatory headline.
He refers to himself as “Ba3” but a bishop on a3 would be a dark-square bishop 🤔

967·18 days agoOlder games are better than a lot of modern AAA slop, but not for the reasons she describes.
I was hoping she would talk about game design, or writing, mechanics, player agency, gameplay before graphics or literally anything else but she spent nearly 15 minutes only talking about tired culture wars talking points like, “why don’t women look feminine aymore,” “why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story,” “Concord sucks lol.”
Yeah AAA writing is shit, please change the record so all the sweaty neckbeard virgins complaining about Aloy’s facial hair can crawl back in their caves. So sick of hearing about it.
She shouts out Asmongold in her comments. Disgraceful.
The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?
GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:
Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.
Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?
It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.
It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.
Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.
