  There’s gotta be a modern version of Fortunate son brewing somewhere with a cybertruck whizzing sound as the intro.

  It’s not that all Muslim’s hate dog (1. dislike is not the same as hate, and 2. of course you can’t generalize all muslims dislike dogs). But stricter practitioners of Islam don’t keep dogs for the similar reason they don’t consume pork. Something about dirty animals (haram).

  Don’t take my word for it [1] [2] [3]

  To quote directly from some scriptures (copy pasted from the third link) :

  That the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever acquires a dog - with the exception of a dog to guard livestock, a hunting dog, or a farm dog - each day a Qirat is deducted from his reward. [Abu Dawood]

  I heard Allah’s Apostle(P.B.U.H) saying; “Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).” [Hadith - Bukhari 3:515]

  I doubt however many Muslims know why they shouldn’t have dogs as pets as usually they are just told by their parents or elders that they shouldn’t. It’s the same thing in all religions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everyone agrees⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a dog, and I generally agree with the notion.

  But, this is about Muslims isn’t it,? I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another one about bacon. This ad is pandering to the populace in the UK who is tending towards racism and xenophobia, most against but not limited to muslims. From market research standpoint, the same populace is probably also big on alcohol consumption so from perspective of market recognition and penetration, this is quite clever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Acer and Asus ordered to halt PC sales in Germany after Nokia wins HEVC patent ruling⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is patent troll right? If I am to trust wikipedia, Nokia had nothing to do with the development of HEVC.

  The HEVC format was jointly developed by more than a dozen organisations across the world. The majority of active patent contributions towards the development of the HEVC format came from five organizations: Samsung Electronics (4,249 patents), General Electric (1,127 patents),[10] M&K Holdings (907 patents), NTT (878 patents), and JVC Kenwood (628 patents).[11] Other patent holders include Fujitsu, Apple, Canon, Columbia University, KAIST, Kwangwoon University, MIT, Sungkyunkwan University, Funai, Hikvision, KBS, KT and NEC.[12]

  Also:

  When the MPEG LA terms were announced, commenters noted that a number of prominent patent holders were not part of the group. Among these were AT&T, Microsoft, Nokia, and Motorola. Speculation at the time was that these companies would form their own licensing pool to compete with or add to the MPEG LA pool

  Something doesn’t seem right.

  175 lbs of Tannerite. Boris, the house and some part of the neighborhood will attempt a space voyage, if Boris gets shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly preferred no sequls, everytime something new. I haven’t played pyre and hades 2. While I liked hades, I was a bit sad when I heard hades 2, instead of something new.

  I’m not an expert, but money (sales) is probably the reason. How many of their previous games sold vs Hades.

  Also, maybe it’s a bit cynnical to think of it this way, but hades 2 would require much less effort compared to making something new and it will churn sales as the first one has been a success. Additionally, they probably already had good idea and materials for additions to hades. So why not make hades 2 out of them. Maybe after that they will work on something new.

  Jizzed in my pants … in my ass. Doesn’t make sense.

  Cool it over there. I look like that but I don’t call women females. That was very unwarranted.

  1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seems to be considering paid membership option⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The things I would be ok paying a subscription for:

  • Rotating free Games that I get to keep. Like epic but only for subscribers. The game should be mine even after I quit the subscription.
  • Extra insights in preservation, or goodies
  • voting rights on what games should be free next month for the sunscribers.
  • discounted price on games.

  Things that I feel it shouldnot be locked behind subscription and paywall:

  • tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of game
  • and definitely not voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

  If the tooks for backing up offline installers or ability to install previous versions of game are paywalled, that is going to invite more reasons for piracy.
