To support the brand and hopefully convince Stardock / Pistol Shrimp that there might be demand for more Star Control games.

Quick IoT haters, spin this back around. This time make it that the toothbrushes all form into a man sized brush bot that people the brush off.
- Comment on Tech Used to Be Bleeding Edge, Now it’s Just Bleeding | After a decade of scandals and half-assed product launches, people are no longer buying the future Big Tech is selling. 9 months ago:
There are free solutions that are open source, hell there’s older commercial solutions from Acronis and whatever Symantec calls Ghost these days. You made a poor choice in selecting a losing horse in a race that’s been run many times - how is that a reflection of the state of modern tech? You didn’t choose the Hare, you chose poorly.
The article and this discussion isn’t about reliable solutions vs new fangled stuff that doesn’t realise, it’s about what we do now that stuff realised and we didn’t think about what we signed up for. I’m really glad your dad encouraged you to think about the value of well-worn approaches but you’re being extremely reductive as are many in this discussion. What I find interesting about that is I feel this trend towards reductive thinking probably reflects a world seemingly happily with sliding the Overton window right inch by inch.

I mean you’d be 100% wrong. I hate what they did but the right to organise hasn’t been taken away and well it should not, otherwise you’d be a potential criminal too.

- Comment on Star Trek Resurgence Giveaway 11 months ago:
By far my favourite ST game is 25th Anniversary from Interplay released in 1992. I grew up in the 70s so TOS was very near and dear to me. In 92 I was reviewing games right at the peak of CD ROM and MS DOS gaming and 25th Anniversary really typified the best of both by including beautiful VGA graphics and a fantastic soundtrack complete with actual sounds from the series and the entire cast in their signature roles. Playing it was like being in the show, nothing else has quite replicated that feeling because it was like the cast was putting on a performance just for me.
- Comment on Senator Warren calls out Apple for shutting down Beeper's 'iMessage to Android' solution 11 months ago:
Of course companies have that authority - it’s something that can even protect us which we often support. When we mark messages as spam they eventually tag senders as spammers who can get blocked from delivering messages at the provider, device and vendor level. What about emergency warnings - should we be able to opt out of those too?
I agree that we need capitalism with oversight to encourage ethical behaviour but you’re missing a key point to illustrate a pretty biased perspective.

I love how ROM clearly has a stroke or something between season 1 and 2. In the Keiko whinersode you see him interacting like a reasoning and capricious Ferenghi - well-spoken and smart.

I called out the behaviour you’re exhibiting. That’s not personal, it’s observation. Please clarify why you are allowed to make observations about people but they can’t make observations about you. Calling something “personal” is meaningless.
- Comment on I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz 11 months ago:
It really isn’t. I’m not supporting or promoting Linux, I’m not discussing the subject matter at all and I have no skin in the game. What occurred to me is why you needed to identify as a nerd and then drop trow and proceed to shit on nerds.
- Comment on I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz 11 months ago:
I mean you are trying to poke the bear. And you’re pretending that people don’t constantly make recommendations all the fucking time. They do. Everywhere about everything. That’s how marketing and grass roots campaigning works. What I think is more interesting is why you’re doing these two things - is your shame of being nerdy so deep that you prefer to try and shame others for not being ashamed?

Yeah you’re right Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is where I think this show should’ve taken its design notes from.
- Comment on Elon Musk launches profane attack on X advertisers 11 months ago:
Yeah he’s sorry for the tweet…now. Not when he posted it, not when people complained but now - when the consequences hit and it cost him money.
- Comment on Susan Sarandon dropped from talent agency after pro-Palestine remarks 11 months ago:
The worst part of what she said is that it dismisses the rampant antisemitism that the US has in its history and the continued antisemitism that Jews still suffer in the US to this day. Should people attack American citizens due to US government foreign policy? Because that’s what she’s implying is ok for American Jews due to Israeli Government actions.
- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
You’re voluntarily using DEP in ABM, it’s not forced on you by Apple. What you’re complaining about is only tangentially related to Apple and unrelated to this post. Imagine complaining about a thing that keeps you employed.

Nobody is assuming anything. If you take the time to read the post you responded you’d see that ChimeraOS is tested against these devices and is often patched to support the variances in their hardware.

So in your view because anything could change everything will? How do you cross a road or drive or eat food or well anything at all?
You must be super paranoid and fearful.
