🔥 This isn't "national defense." This is robbery.
And you're the mark.

💰 Bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $32 million per hour.
💸 Contractors charging $71 for 4-cent pins.
🩸 $10 TRILLION blown since 2001.

The PC port of Mario Kart 64 is out

There's also already a functioning Dreamcast port

Reminder: The web you might miss of the 1990s or 20'00s is still out there!
So I feel no reason to miss it!

Its just that now these cottages lie within the shadow of corporate skyscrapers which dominate the skyline.

For all the vilification "the deep web" gets (not that there's a clear demarcation), I see most of the harm lying on the surface!

@TrueMasterCole @branman65 As someone who was actually around and aware of the gaming scene when the Dreamcast was around, I feel it has become the ultimate Overrated underrated console (the GameCube has also become a lesser version of this), because there really was not all that much excitement for the console back when it actually launched. As a game (ignoring the graphics) Sonic Adventure was considered massively inferior to something like Mario 64, Shenmue was overhyped and underdelivered, and while the console was considered to have plenty of good games, and brought some genuinely cool innovations (like Phantasy Star Online's online gameplay), it ultimately lacked that big System Seller which could have given it the necessary momentum to survive the PS2's arrival.

This universal Dreamcast Love we see today absolutely did not exist during 1998-2002. There's a reason it ended up with sub-Wii U sales.

Here is the basic implementation of the map zoom function. As you can see it saves your spot for the zoom, even when exiting and entering the map.
This is just with the current map image in the game. What I'll do is have a higher resolution image (200%) and swap it out with the lower resolution one whenever you zoom in. Just have to make that version. I have the higher resolution asset so it won't be an issue.
What do you think of the speed of the movement? Too slow? Too fast? Would you like to see it more zoomed in?
There will be prompts on the screen to tell you how to control the map, just haven't gotten to that yet.

Some people in #Iran successfully use delta with national email providers when outside Internet is cut.

#deltachat designs are #OfflineFirst using delay tolerant protocols. Messages are queued when a path is blocked. email servers are made for this and run at planetary scale.
Messages crossing the border may arrive three days later but they arrive.

Peoples can stay in private touch across time and space, to the extent possible in current breakdown times. Which is what delta is about.

"Al-Qaeda" actually doesn't exist, this is organization is run by intel agencies.

Watch out for false flag to kick start WWIII.

@deprecated_ii Corruption at all levels of government. The USDA and organizations like it exist to cause problems for small businesses, not enforce the law on big businesses

With the recent-ish cock.li situation along with previous events surrounding it and Fedora Mail, I don't think I can trust email services run by a single guy anymore, especially if they target the imageboard crowd and/or use meme domains.

I think I'm going to use Posteo for now on. They same to go out of their way to respect user-privacy despite being for-profit and being payed means that it is less likely to be used for some bomb-threat or something like that (hopefully).

Wait wait wait, what exactly is the difference between free association and discrimination?

I mean, doesn't free association also include the freedom to NOT associate with people you don't want to - for any reason?

How do you differentiate those things? Is it a limitation on the freedom? Like meaning you have freedom of association BUT not if you're making your determination of who to associate with based on race?

Of is it a limitation on the definition of association? So like it's association to decide who you invite to your house, and who can join your private club, but who you hire and who can live in your neighborhood is not association?

I don't see anything inherently bad or dangerous about X-nationalism. It's free association, people want to hang out with others who share the same genes, why not?
