Is there a good overview of the progression somewhere? I vaguely remember buying it a while ago, but couldn’t really get into it.

Not sure what you mean - “Mario and Princess Beach” is obviously peak cinema

There’s really no way to do this without making the whole driver source-available, as there’s no way to update it to a new Kernel without full source access. That’d be great, but the manufacturers will fight tooth-and-nail against that, especially since the drivers can contain trade secrets.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The APIs are part of the Linux Kernel, so you’d be forcing the Kernel to completely change their development policy of internal breakages being allowed. That’s a no-go.

Can you… can you literally not read?
But if you can’t read, how did you read the quoted part?
Please explain how you simultaneously can and cannot read.

Again, please be explicit. Do you think the mod was created & uploaded by FromSoft?

What exactly is your implication here? That FromSoft created & uploaded that mod by themselves, or what?

But if both sides are your enemies, they’re both your friends. But if they’re your friends, they aren’t the enemies of your enemies anymore, which would make them your enemies once again. But then they are your friends again. But then

Yeah, well, it wasn’t me. You can check it yourself, votes are public, where I also saw that you’re downvoting my recent comments. So please just stop, block me and go on, alright?

Now you’re going through my comments and downvoting? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?

Though naming it by the following year instead of the release year is clearly a marketing move.

Thank you for being a voice of reason, felt like I was going crazy.

Now, if you didn’t have a windscreen, and you hit a stone wall that stopped you immediately The rocks would have a 50 mph variance to the wall. But, honestly, 50 mph on a rock is not really significant. Baseball pitchers double that.
Why don’t you get a couple rocks thrown at your face with 50mph and get back to me?

No. People have literally lost their eyesight due to objects placed on their dashboards being smashed into their faces by the airbags. Had they not had shit on their dashboard, they would have been fine.

My god you’re dense. Fine, do whatever you want, I don’t care.

Because, again, they will turn into projectiles during a crash. Do you think they’ll just magically stay in their place? They’ll fly around and inflict damage upon passengers, possibly also people outside the car. Please, just look it up if you don’t believe me. It’s very common safety advice.
- Comment on Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock. 2 weeks ago:
Not sure I understand the question. You’re in a seatbelt, while the rocks are able to move freely throughout the interior of the car. They’ll fly throughout the interior in the event of a crash. Even worse, if they are between you and the airbag when it’s deploying, they’ll be embedded into your skull.
I’m not making this up, you can find the same advice everywhere. It’s very dangerous for you and other passengers.
- Comment on Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock. 2 weeks ago:
While it’s a cute idea, that’s really dangerous. If you’re ever in an accident, those things will turn into bullets, endangering you and possibly others. I’d store them safely at home instead :)

Dashboard, as in car dashboard? Or is that also a name for furniture?
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 2 weeks ago:
If you haven’t already seen it, the show from a couple of years ago reflects on the issues the movie (and partially comics) had, and acts as a great sequel. Can’t recommend it enough!

- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, but that’s absolutely wrong - the complexity of articles can vary wildly. Many are easily understandable, while many others are not understandable without a lot of prerequisite knowledge in the domain (e.g. mathematics stuff).
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 2 weeks ago:
If the reader is interested in the content, they aren’t going to skip it.
But they aren’t interested in the content because of the complexity. You may wish that humans work like you describe, but we literally see that they don’t.
What you can do is provide a simplified summary to make people interested, so they’re willing to engage with the more complex language to get deeper knowledge around the topic.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 2 weeks ago:
[…] then how are those readers going to improve their poor reading skills?
By becoming interested in improving their poor reading skills. You won’t make people become interested in that by having everything available only in complex language, it’s just going to make them skip over your content. Otherwise there shouldn’t be people with poor reading skills, since complex language is already everywhere in life.

If you play a Windows Vista installation disk in reverse, you can hear a message from Satan.
Even worse, when you play it forwards, you install Windows Vista 😱

Yeah, the only way that I’ve found really works is to use “I” statements.
