BSD celebrity death 

Mike Karels died on the way home from #BSDCan, at the age of 67.

gearty-delmore.com/obituaries/

This man spent 40 years working on BSD. His code appears in #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, and everywhere.

If you have used the Internet, you have used code he wrote.

RIP, sir. You changed the world for the better.

What's probably his last talk: "I don't have much to say," followed by a spellbinding eighty minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=XSziyKlG1w

Adding helicopters near the start of game dev:
"A Helicopter is a Vehicle."

Adding helicopters late in game dev:
"When you think about it, a Helicopter is really just a very advanced type of Door."

They're going to burn LA down.

A license is what you get when politicians steal your rights & sell them back to you.

@beardalaxy @skylar I felt that way with Steamboat Willie going into the public domain. literally anyone has the ability to make an original Mickey Mouse story now for money, but all I've seen people doing is the equivalent of graffiti. same with Winnie the Pooh. felt just as crappy as when some libtard reboots a classic franchise to spew their garbage.

My brother discovered that you can even shoot during the credits.

The only thing that would've made this hack perfect would be the ability to shoot Mario's floating head on the title screen, but this hack skips the whole Mario's face thing entirely.

I can't tell you how good it feels to wear 100% organic clothing. Wearing synthetic fabrics feels like wearing plastic wrappers in comparison.

How do you think this bird flu scamdemic is going to play out?

🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: The federal government is attempting to shut down InfoWars and seize Alex Jones studio. They are expected to be raided tonight. This is absolutely unacceptable and it can’t be random that this all happening at the time it is.

This is an emergency!

I don't know why people are still bitching about pride month. It's been in decline since last year. Big corporations have stopped changing their logos. Some are still selling LGBT themed products, but they would do that during any special occasion (e.g Christmas, the Olympics, etc), and even that is slowing down.

I don't think it will ever go away completely, but it's slowly disappearing from the mainstream. Best case scenario is that it will only be actively celebrated in "gayborhoods" and only niche companies that cater to LGBT will be profiting off of it.
