Flashing back to Red Planet.

Somebody call Tom Selleck!

Sounds pricey. Discs are cheap.

But where to store it all now?

I don’t know, maybe it is like Midas. The things he touches turn into something coveted, and therefore valuable, but also of little to no practical use, just like gold.

Yeah; seeing this pop up on my feed so close to another story about the increasing concentration of wealth to landlords in Canada made me both chuckle and then sigh.

something something wmds…

Didn’t I see that in a cartoon? Sam and Ralph?

Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)

It’s about love and companionship and everything’s fine! Just give us all of your personal information. We won’t do anything bad, we promise!

Assuming they don’t own them already as a sort of pressure valve. Yeah I’m getting that cynical.

A little bit better controls and stuff too, but yeah, the story, characters, unit customization, etc. was all top-notch.

You mean Civilization: Call to Power. The unit was called the Eco Ranger. And they did make a sequel to it, called Call to Power 2. In some ways it was better, some worse. That being said, CTP1 is my favorite civ of all time (not counting SMAC). They should definitely make another sequel if they can keep the stuff that made it great. Kills me that I can’t get a modern working version of the original somewhere.

Huh, hadn’t seen that bit before, thanks for that. Ok, well that is disappointing. I did notice this bit in there too though:

What about security benefits? Even though most of the security-relevant code for Vivaldi browser is in Chromium, there is also some security-relevant code in the UI. If you think that specific security-relevant parts of the UI should be open-sourced to make Vivaldi more trustworthy, let us know, and we’ll consider putting it out as part of our code bundles, so you can check it for yourselves.

It not much consolation, but it’s better than nothing. As it stands though, FF still has too many problems for me. I’ll have to see how this ad blocking thing shakes out though, might have to revisit my decision then.

It is source-available though, so that’s a plus.

If by Opera you mean as it was back in version 12 before it got sold to some chinese company and completely changed, then yes. Nothing to do with what opera is now.

BALWAR - Thus Sunday at the convention center!

And therein lies the difference between engineers and business people. And look which ones are usually in charge.

Yes, that’s the one! Boy, it’s been a long time.

Ah yes, tvs. I don’t watch enough yt to want to watch it on tv, so I often forget about that. You’re right, no easy answers there right now. Certainly there are ways, but all sacrifice some convenience. Hopefully this will change soon.
