I may or may not be any number of unfathomable beings.
Account migration from @skulblaka@startrek.website after learning the admins of that instance are wankers.
The whole game was intended from the very beginning to thumb their nose at Nintendo, just so happens that it got really popular and sold a ton of copies because it isn’t difficult to make a better Pokémon game than The Pokémon Company does, even when the entire game in question is a shitpost.
John Carmack is human intelligence
[X] Doubt
John Carmack is many things, but I have my doubts about whether human is one of them. At minimum, he’s some kind of alien. Most days I lean more toward incognito archdevil of the plane of knowledge. I’ve heard someone accuse him of being God, or at least standing in for him on Wednesdays.
Interesting… The Wikipedia page for Crazy Taxi talks about their lawsuit with Simpsons Road Rage in 2001, for using the overhead arrow among other complaints. But makes no mention at all of Midnight Club, who by 2005 when I got Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition was using that same overhead arrow for in-race directions. I don’t see screenshots of Midnight Club 1 or 2 having the arrow but I can guarantee from personal experience that MC3:DUB did have them. I wonder what happened in those four years that made Rockstar not afraid to use that mechanic, especially as this section on the Crazy Taxi page states
The case, Sega of America, Inc. v. Fox Interactive, et al., was settled in private for an unknown amount. The 138 patent is considered to be one of the most important patents in video game development.
Yeah I’ve never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you’re able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.
Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple’s updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven’t come across the problem again since switching to Android.
No plan or ethical framework survives contact with the shareholders.
If other people buy these, you won’t have much of a choice for much longer. I predict every auto manufacturer jumping directly onto this bandwagon if it doesn’t sink Ford’s sales (it won’t).
People like you and I are going to end up driving 2005 Honda “classic cars” 30 years past their lifespan.
Because UBI doesn’t exist in this area and the robots are already there.
God, it’s cable TV packages all over again. Streaming was supposed to destroy this problem, not become it!
Box fans and Popsicles, mostly. You get used to it. Doesn’t make it any more pleasant though. I did give myself some pretty bad heat exhaustion at one point earlier this year, that hasn’t happened before.
I was working outside in 96F and nearly 50% humidity within the past week.
If we continue trying to work outside during the middle of the summer day, as our summers get hotter every year, people are going to start to die.
I wonder how many it will take for America to adjust. I assume a lot more than I’m comfortable with.
These would also make bank as fleet vehicles for local deliveries or shuttle services.
If there aren’t any visible changes then the lusers won’t upgrade. “Why did I have to switch to Windows 11 if nothing changed??” etc.
By shuffling the look and feel of the product constantly they can give an impression of actual upgrades being made. The system looks different after your update, after all.
Microsoft already knows that anyone with technical knowledge is looking to dodge this update, they don’t need to make the regular users want to dodge it too.
I’ve got a GTX 1080 Ti and after a couple hours of finagling on initial install of Linux Mint I haven’t had any trouble at all. Nvidia ships some proprietary drivers you can use instead of the unofficial open source ones and nvidia-driver-535 has been getting it done no problem.
Other GPU models I can’t speak for, as I don’t own them, and I see some history of folks having trouble with Nvidia. But I got mine done with barely a hitch.
Ah, fair enough. I’m almost certain some sort of regex wizardry would be able to solve this problem, but I’m not nearly enough of a wizard to tell you what the proper spell would be. And that’s assuming your filter even supports regex.
Best of luck dodging headlines, I guess.
Does your filter recognize whitespace? Including a space before and/or after X should catch the posts about the platform while not filtering out posts that just have an X inside a word somewhere. X isn’t going to be a single letter surrounded by space unless it’s referring to the platform.
The real OG version of this is The Jargon File.
They have an edit history for every piece of content on the site. All you’ve done is post a giant flagpole on all your content stating “this account was previously owned by a real live human” and increased the value of those comments for AI scraping. Unfortunately your protest has done nothing but help them.
The best way to stick it to reddit these days is to not interact with it at all. Don’t add to their data store, don’t give them traffic, don’t click on them in search results. Don’t protest-edit your content because you’re just helping them separate wheat from chaff.
Lemmy’s largest userbase growth of all time, ever, happened during the reddit API fiasco.
I’m doing my part!
No really, I installed Mint on my home machine less than a week ago. Trying to get my buddy to switch too before Win11 comes knocking.
And that’s fine, different strokes and all. I personally find it highly goddamn hilarious and enjoy playing it with my gaming group. I just think it’s a little disingenuous to say “palworld devs did nothing to prevent this, sad” when the whole original concept was basically designed around parodying Pokémon. They knew what they were doing.
