Still doing better than DC Universe Online, who still haven’t added “report player” buttons within the game, not to mention their “5 chat messages per day” (unless you relog) attempt to stop spambots, which works as well as you can imagine.

Private property. Remove that and many problems will solve themselves real quick, though that will also cause a large number of human deaths before things stabilize

I’m not part of the target audience as I don’t have a cat, but I don’t see the value in this over a cheap red laser pointer. Automatizing play with your pet sounds super dehumanizing, like, you can’t even be bothered to spend 5 minutes entertaining your pet?

It’s the online handle of some Linus fellow, some would argue he’s internet famous for whatever reason

Why can’t we contain all those tech nerds inside a dock or something?

Why should I put any more effort in this when you didn’t put any on the initial argument or any other reply in this thread?

The “shameless pedantry” is meant to ensure that the point you’re trying to make is clear and not an infinite exercise of “moving the goalposts”. If the premise is bad, the whole argument fails.

As for the point, the other poster that said “it’s the current reality” made the best reply, in my opinion

It really feels like you’re trying to make any sort of persuasion = advertising, which is just stupid.

Also, calling “a body of techniques” a technology would imply that martial arts and dances are technologies.

By your logic, a political or religious speech would be advertising.

Why not Haiku 🙃?

Kurumin, a brazilian offshoot of Knoppix, sometime in early 2007 I think. The distro has been discontinued back in 2008. I was completely amazed that the whole OS would boot and work straight out of the CD, without needing to install anything.

It’s been a trend for quite a while now, “reaction” videos. There was even a YouTube gremlin who wholesale stole content from everyone and did nothing on camera

I don’t need nor want to download the damn files in the first place. Most games won’t allow me to delete them either

Which sucks for anyone that doesn’t have a 8GB+ GPU. I’m fine with 1024x1024 textures, I don’t need or want higher res textures, I want good framerates

X4 is a very complex game. You start as a relative nobody in space, but can earn money to create big mining and trading fleets to get more money while you’re busy with other stuff, finally using said money to buy military fleets.

It’s full of eurojank, it’s a huge time sink (I’m a bit over 100h now), but it may be the kind of thing that tickles your neurons just right.

Playing X4, despite the crashes.

But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids’ progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I’m actually being any good

Point 1 definitely has some 50+ countries in it, but point 2 almost immediately leads to Iran, who suffered a coup in the 1950s because the then president wanted to nationalize the oil reserves.

Point 3 is the rise of Saddam. Point 4 is the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s and the Iran-Contra kerfuffle. Point 5 is the two invasions of Iraq by the USA, 1991 and 2003, the latter leading directly to point 6.

Hey, that sounds like exactly what I aim for at my work!

Same reason people still use Unity after the whole shitfest on “per install tax”: large community, huge knowledge base, tutorials everywhere, professional courses that focus on it.

Kinda ironic that the Unreal Tournament games (99, 2004, 3) were all incredibly optimized.
