But watching them just drill away at every pixel of Tib Dawn and Red Alert 1 is like watching the Sistine Chapel be repainted as the world's most intricately beaten dead horse
Was anyone really asking for a "C&C in-game wiki"?
I'm still a little salty as someone who donated to the project in 2013 to add support and it's still not even at "alpha test"
(Or if you can't shed any light. Can you confirm "I can't talk about that")
When has this ever happened with the Linux CoC? The only people who I've seen banging pots and pans together about the CoC are folks who like to sealion [1]
"Hey your customer is hosting a website with random pictures on it. One of them of me is unflattering. Please make them fix it"
Especially around the era Musk is quoted for (NT4 in the late 90's) I think most people would be understandably critical, even at the time
It dovetails nicely into their desire to slash education for Americans
Once we deport all the "illegal" immigrants, the MAGA folk can pick fruit in Florida while the H1B's work at Amazon for pennies on the dollar I suppose
Back in the Ras Pi 3 days I needed more memory than the 1GB standardized on the Pi. So I tried competitors. The Odroid and the Rock64.
They were both miserable with outdated (and buggy!) kernels, lacking documentation (at least in English) and absolutely miniscule developer interest.
The Raspberry Pi feels like "the worst device you could get, except for all the other ones". Everybody who isn't the Pi foundation are just churning out absolute electronic slop
I had an argument some time ago with a friend who was a devout "streaming enthusiast" for lack of a better term. Netflix had Back to the Future on and I watched it
Understandably I wanted to watch the second movie in the trilogy. But...they didn't have it! Somehow they'd only acquired the rights to Back to the Future 1 and 3. But not 2
His genuine response was "just rent it on Google Play then"
This absolute stretching out of content to ensure every single penny on the table that could possibly be obtained is hoovered out of wallets is absolutely pathetic. At least when Netflix was a "dumping ground of old TV and movies" we could reliably go watch "re-runs" of Seinfeld forever. But not so much anymore
"While Grove supported helping technology startups, he also felt that America was wrong in thinking that those new companies would increase employment. "Startups are a wonderful thing," he wrote in a 2010 article for Bloomberg, "but they cannot by themselves increase tech employment."[40] Although many of those startups and entrepreneurs would achieve tremendous success and wealth, said Grove, he was more concerned with the overall negative effect on America: "What kind of a society are we going to have if it consists of highly paid people doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed?"
Due to how small Apple's hardware list is, issues directly impact a much larger percentage of their userbase
Every time Apple pushes an update that causes some bizarre issue, people talk about it at length
On the one hand, software is written by humans. Humans make mistakes
On the other hand, Apple by design supports such a tiny set of hardware (that they largely build themselves and tightly couple to their software) that it's strange they're unable to iron out the issues in test before pushing the updates and ending making the tech news cycle when something goes wrong

They're about $30-$50 USD for a 3 pack on eBay
Which ones?
...Then decided that NAT64 was "good enough" for people who wanted IPv6 instead of just doing fucking dual-stack
