I was disappointed when I found GOG had Ultima titles, they were the old IBM CGA versions, with ugly gfx and bad or no music. Why didn’t they license the Atari or Amiga versions and just bundle with an emulator?
…and yeah, fuck EA. Never give them a nickel, most of those can be found on the High Seas, I bet. Yaar.
He can’t speak for all engineers, either. He can feel however he wants about how to approach game design. A game designer who decides they enjoy ‘turning graph paper into hex digits’ is not irrelevant, if the game they put out is fun, and the art is still valid.
Not everything in our lives needs to be about ‘efficiency’. We’re always being pushed to the point of burn-out as if it’s a virtue, and we should be damn sick of being made to feel guilty for not doing things the way ‘some rich exec’ says it should be.
Which engineers? As one, I can say you do not speak for all sw engineers.
Yeah, bullshit. What, did someone Thanos-snap all code editors and game libs that existed pre-“AI” out of existenve? It’s a choice, and he’s just trying to rationalize his.
About frigging time someone said this. Now enforce it!
Sounds neat; let’s hope it is distro- and init-system-neutral.
Is this a good solution doing what you describe? I might need to try it on my wife’s Pixel 9 w/stock OS.
TheSpiffingBrit would’ve figured out a way to do it without console commands though, I bet :)
Qualcomm has historically been one of the most closed chip vendors. Unless they publish full specs, datasheets and open drivers, that’ll be a hard ‘no’ for me.
Mandatory overtime? The games industry is slavery, unionize NOW for fuck’s sake.
Hmm. OK, I’ve been using AdAway (not AdGuard) as DNS and/or VPN, experimenting with both) under Pixel 9 stock OS, and it mostly works… but some apps and websites still get ads through.
LineageOS w/Adaway root /etc/hosts blocklists was 100% perfect on my older phone… that’s my main quibble with trying LineageOS vs. GrapheneOS.
I know some people recommend against rooting, but I’ve never had security issues doing it and it seemed to offer more bulletproof ad-blocking.
Can you tell me how the ad experience is with GrapheneOS? As in, do apps which try to insert ads in screen transitions (or anywhere) still do so? Or websites which put in AdSense popups?
GrapheneOS doesn’t recommend AdAway or other adblocking solutions, so does it do so itself?
Yes, and they used the name first, not google. Arseholes.
Palantir, which the US gov is now (let’s not kid ourselves, has been for some time illegally) contracting, probably already has your face either from street cams, security cams in various company buildings, or from social media at this point, so letting you ‘opt out’ is probably just theatre to avoid angering people at airports.
Madagascar’s always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P
If you go to New Zealand, you’ll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they’ll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they’ve been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever’s left).
Your comment prompted me to search and I found this util: https://github.com/fumiyas/qrc
Obviously results in a larger ASCII blob than a shortened URL, but would allow use on any terminal.
I’ll look into those, thank you!
(I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with ‘loadkeys’ for console.)
I wish ACID Pro had been made for Linux. I found the keyboard shortcuts so intuitive… I just need to bite the bullet and learn Reaper.
