@mischievoustomato the problem is those get cucked by laws where you're at, the issue is also that nobody against this takes it seriously or ends up getting cucked every day like the 3d printing guys have been once the techno libertarian dream meets Everytown for Gun Safety, and unlike the FPC and Gun Owners of America, it turns out you need to sue people to get shit done instead of uploading a video whining DAD IT'S OVER BRO

Anyone else notice the last name of the CEO of the company of the Flock surveillance system is Langley?
And it turns out that my mini PC's internal storage got corrupted during the storm and I need to wait a few more days/weeks to recover it (when the power in my area comes back on) 
At least I was able to sleep without waking up in a pool of sweat, ever since I left home.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, each Shine Sprite can be collected twice because the icon of it appearing is not merely visual, but literally another Shine Sprite. This provides a cautionary tale to developers about never implementing a visual effect as the object itself.
I really want to rant about the place I'm staying for the time being, but I don't want to dox my location.

I published the leaked Worlds sources on my personal website if anybody is interested. I was going to keep them lowkey for longer so nobody could claim that we illegally used the code in our FOSS client rewrite, but since we never got around to developing that and Worlds Inc finally went bankrupt, I decided it was time. You can find the download at Library -> Archives.

@binkle I want to stay out longer only because I sweat 10x more than the average person and obviously I can''t have A/C without power.
Well power is out, possibly for weeks in my area. I'm currently staying somewhere else but for only a few days.

@geistigbehindert @deprecated_ii if you want to get technical, the choice of language doesn't really impact whether something qualifies as an "engine" or not. Plenty of games written in assembly formalized their systems into engine-like structures for reuse across multiple titles, and some of them were even commercialized.
for example, I think some of the early ultima games were written in assembly and yet shared an engine (primitive though it may have been by modern standards)

Police have used Flock cameras to stalk their exes, track abortion patients, and spy on protesters—among other abuses.

Apparently the F-Zero X PC Port is out, includes DD content?

Closing hours and I'm still just fucking around mapping. Gotta finish this up. This is like the last gameplay thing before it's freeze mode. It's complete end-to-end. But the levels need more refinement for gameplay.
@sendpaws Too bad nobody remembers what forums are.

💰 Paper money is political fraud
Depreciate the currency
Pay debts on the cheap
Rob the people in the process

than that of issuing paper to depreciate
for the paying debts, on easy terms”

@cjd @gabriel @retroedgetech @matthew CPUs I get, but for stuff like mice and keyboards, I don't understand. I've always used old peripherals on new computers.

I do not think it is a big deal that support for those old 486 CPUs is being removed from the current Linux kernel.
I think no one is asking to be able to run the latest Linux 7.** kernel on a 486.
People who are running that hardware are very likely on older versions on Linux (or other retro operating systems) and not looking to run the latest Linux anyway.
However, on the other side of the argument, why remove it? I do not believe there are any pressing security issues with keeping the code that supports those CPUs. If there are problems, they could just be left with notices of what doesn't work for the three people in the world that may affect.
I don't really think it matters either way.
If someone wants to run a current OS on a 486, there's NetBSD.
... but I do not think we should expect to run a current OS on a CPU that old. That's what the 'retro computing' genre is about. Just run an old OS on that hardware.

@ergo @caekislove @bonifartius But this is to say that I find them the least bad of the taxes.
@ergo @caekislove @bonifartius Import taxes would be fine if sales and income taxes would go away.

Rolling releases are simply for people with no lives. Get busy for 3 weeks and forget to update and magically you're in dependency hell with a bricked system.
