re: gamedev
@binkle That's what I plan to do. Thanks.
gamedev
Main menu now has a background. It honestly looks like the most professional thing I have ever made.

@frost The problem with COBOL is that a lot of people who wrote those old COBOL programs for businesses are either retired or dead, and the software is too crucial to be replaced with some modern cloud solution.
@frost Depends. If it's temporary and I can find someone who can do it, I would just hire a temporary employee. Otherwise, I would train an existing engineer.
@frost But it means more time for learning and less time for working.
@frost COBOL requires you to know some other language (JCL) in order to use it, assuming you are using it on IBM mainframes.
So it turns out that COBOL also requires you to know some other language known as JCL, as it is use to run the program (gives it input). But this seems to be assuming that you are actually using an IBM mainframe, but if you use something like GnuCOBOL, which compiles COBOL code into C, you can use it without JCL.
So it looks like they are indeed going to rebuild LA as a smart-city.

UCKING BUYS THE DATA WITH THE TAX PAYER MONEY to spy on them
I think you have it backwards. Look at "Digital Life Log" by DARPA and it's connections to Peter Thiel, Palinter and Facebook and you'll realize the government doesn't buy the data. It funded/created all the companies that collect it for that specific purpose.
The CIA literally has a startup incubator fund called In-Q-Tel.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad I bet all these words are handpicked by the CIA or some other organization. Almost none of it seems organic.
@Dan_Ramos @sensei The actual Exec Order is here

It cuts red tape is the new structure is essentially the same as the prior structure.
Whether that unfairly benefits Blackrock vs the existing owners is open to interpretation.
Gavin Newsom issues executive order to cut red-tape and make it easier for Blackrock to rebuild after it buys out all the uninsured burnt-out housing lots in Los Angeles.

@RandomDeamon Correctamundo
Of course they did. They didn’t really care. It was just a money making scheme.
Did anyone see Blackrock woke up and keft Net Zero in the dust https://oilprice-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/BlackRock-Continues-Wall-Street-Exodus-From-Net-Zero-Alliances.amp.html
