Bilb!

I don’t. They get a nice paycheck regardless and they choose to continue working for a psychotic asshole. You do have responsibility for that choice.

That does leave the possibility of selling it to someone who does want to restore it.

Doesn’t that basically equate to “yep, this is an android phone?”

I hope that’s true, but this is a common refrain with various adversaries used as the boogie-man.

The scam goes something like this: A weapons contractor and military-funded think tank publishes a supposedly neutral “report” or a handful “U.S. officials” run to a media outlet insisting the United States is “lagging behind” in a sector that incidentally coincides with said think tank’s funders or government entity’s interests. Credulous American media mindlessly repeats the claims, everyone acts panicked, treating the warning like a work of good faith, sober and objective analysis. Congress then reacts and uses media coverage to rationalize even more contracts to the very funders of the think tank that raised the warning, further bloating the Pentagon, State Department and CIA budgets. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, all the while portraying the U.S.'s gargantuan defense expenditures as paltry and insufficient.

I hope they made it impossible to mod. In my new but rapidly growing religion, “modding” (desacrating) games is a mortal sin. Elder Scrolls games have damned the souls of many hairy, soft-bodied men.

Well, they wouldn’t need to release those changes publicly.

Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That’s like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.

Then what are they doing here?

It’s an interesting point that without any IP law, GPL would be invalid and corporations could use and modify things like Lemmy without complying with the license.

I usually associate it more with Intel since they certify Thunderbolt devices on all the non-Apple hardware and that’s all I use. I forgot Apple had anything to do with it.

I really don’t think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don’t make up half the population.

I was using the flatpak on Linux.

This is not true. There are squirrels who relentlessly mock me and I have done nothing to deserve it.

I loved opera back then.

I wonder if floorp has improved, because people are talking it up lately. My experience a few months ago was like yours, it was very buggy.

Sonic is faster. The Flash isn’t real.

My AI can do that actually.

I don’t think writers should be paid either. We have AI to do all writing now anyway, so what do we need writecels for anyway? 😏

I saw on Mastodon someone say something kinda like this: good people don’t feel the need to dominate others.

I worry this is just rationalizing ones passivity as just an inherent part of ones assumed “goodness.”

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn’t it? (And I don’t think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)
