Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.

I’ve heard the size of the animal denotes how long they will take and/or how urgently they need to leave.

My cynical take on that stance is they probably overstaff the airpots they are flying through to ensure that doesn’t happen. But yea maybe they fall down an elevator shaft.

I suddenly realize why I was so good at bhopping without scripts. Haha I’d get banned for cheats and never cheated once.

Thanks, friend. Much needed words. Maybe I’ll put my decades of counter strike to good use at some point.

First time I’ve used this phrase, myself. But I had such hope for the future and I guess I am finally admitting my hope is gone.

All they had to do was build a solid, reliable truck, and not be fascist. Instead they build a poorly glued together piece of shit and sieg heil. I fucking hate this timeline.

Thank you for your service. That right there proves how important it is to document the abuses.

It is not fast near me. Sticker shock, poorly made food and extremely slow service makes it easy to say no.

Not to mention their “1080p” streams look worse than 2013 480p streams. The site is a dumpster fire.

That is an insane amount of storage. How much does it grow every year and is it stable growth or accelerating?

We need IA full mirrors. This is too critical to leave to this one company.
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 4 months ago:
Computers work with 1s and 0s. We have decided as a society that certain combinations of those equate to being copywritable. This ruling seems to be saying the result of a calculation cannot be copywritable? Wouldn’t creative tools like movie editor or photoeditor disagree? So then is the ruling actually saying these specific values used in this instance are not copywritable, changing the health to 100 for e.g., because there is no human creativity in the result of that value?
So if a programmer used an original work of art to define the state of health in the actual code, and verified the value matches the 1s and 0s that represent that work of art (thus it only ever comes down to boolean check in the logic side, and the value of the variable is never set to something simple like 0 to 100, it was using a huge amount of RAM and a very slow comparator operator.
Yea, I went there.

I’m not explaining it properly. Imagine instead of 100 hp, there is apple bananas. That isn’t really a mathematic representation in the same way that the cheat code can change. It would be a copyrighted work of art. It wouldn’t be trivial to build an hp system to do this (in fact it would be a large undertaking), but I am not asking about practicality, just what the law would find.
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 4 months ago:
I mean what if you didn’t use 20/100 for the value, you used a symbol (in the code as the value). Would it still apply?
- Comment on Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement 4 months ago:
What if the health values are human creations like special symbols or works of creative art?

- Comment on Starlink is increasingly interfering with astronomy, scientists say 4 months ago:
The tools “up there” could be made to rival the capacity and accommodate the man hours required to more science than we do now. The problem is it’s hard and expensive and nobody wants to try because of that fact. It’s becoming easier with cheaper launch vehicles and better communications infrastructure. Now we need folks to start identifying the best locations to send new observation satellites and then start building and launching them.
Your take is very conservative and counter to technological progress and I don’t appreciate the name calling. We can have a meaningful conversation without that crap.
- Comment on Starlink is increasingly interfering with astronomy, scientists say 4 months ago:
Yes, extraterrestrial telescopes are hard. And, we need more of them. And we need to give access to amateurs.
- Comment on Starlink is increasingly interfering with astronomy, scientists say 4 months ago:
Imagine one orbiting each planet and what we can observe.
- Comment on Starlink is increasingly interfering with astronomy, scientists say 4 months ago:
As technology advances, our ability to observe the universe from space far surpasses ground-based telescopes. While I appreciate amateur astronomy, let’s acknowledge that satellites like those in low Earth orbit can occasionally interfere with surface observations. Instead of criticizing their presence, perhaps we could focus on working together to minimize disruptions and support continued space exploration – after all, observatories like JWST are pushing the boundaries of our understanding.

Probably the “but”. I agree that both are exploitive and they should all be called out on it.

Cell to Singularity is a great little mobile game that does have microtransactions but are easy to ignore/avoid. I played through it several times and may need to dust it off for another playthrough. Great music too.
