I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I’m sure it will theirs.

I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.

As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it’s original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.

I indeed did. I started working on it as QA and left the project as a software engineer. It was a really fun experience.

edit: I have a lightsaber replica to show for it. Lol

I worked in Star Wars: The Old Republic for ten years. It’s still running and the story is really nice. EA sold it to Broadsword.

That’s better than me. I ran a security script that i… laugh and roll my eyes at myself about in a bad way, like i deserved what i got. I didn’t read the script…

So i restarted the system. Since i used an online Microsoft account to create the local user, and i didn’t read the script, the only account, and admin at that, was disabled. I couldn’t sign in AT ALL. Lol

I formatted the whole system and installed Fedora Plasma. I’m a Fedora fan. It’s what we use in a corporate environment (rhel) and it’s what i learned on.

TL;DR: Windows sucks. Linux is great and ProtonDB for those games you miss.

I remember watching zdtv as a kid in jr high? Lol these days, after seeing that article, i think i muttered “they’re still around?”

Ironic that ZD-Net is speaking of relevancy. Ha

Yeah i don’t think another wiki is a reliable source. I think that would fall under user forums or some shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources either way, good for them lol

Lol it’s not new, it’s always been like this for as long as i can remember. Keyboard warriors will be exactly that. You just have to work around it. It’s precisely why i never became an admin. These days i just stick to typo fixes using awb. Useful but not too much.

As a 15 year long editor to Wikipedia, this comment is exactly how i feel and it’s hilarious.

edit: my God i just waisted 2 minutes of my life I’ll never get back reading that article. 40 editors are a SPEED BUMP when it comes to editing the Wikipedia. Also what’s up with the terms they are using for group of editors? Lol

What id like to see is the appeal to the admin thread on the Wikipedia. Instead we have a slate article about this click bait bullshit.

Right i posted the same thing on another nothing chats thread a few days ago. It’s such a bizarre statement that’s just not true.

This makes me roll my eyes. From the Sunbird faq:

Will the app [sunbird] be open source?

Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not. The more visibility there is into the infrastructure and code, the easier it is to penetrate it. By design, open source software is distributed in nature. There is no central authority to ensure quality and maintenance and by putting that responsibility on Sunbird, development would not be feasible. Open source vulnerabilities typically stem from poorly written code that leave gaps, which attackers can use to carryout malicious activities.

To help satisfy our own ambitious goals of providing total privacy and security, we are currently undergoing a third party audit that will validate our security, encryption and data policies and plan on receiving ISO 27001 certification after launch.

Sure Jan.

I wonder how long they’ve been working on this integration and i bet they didn’t see this coming: Apple says iPhones will support RCS in 2024 . I mean it’s technically not the same product. RCS will replace sms/mms and “Nothing Chats” is an iMessage back door (?).

Liquidation has commenced.

Fun episode!

Lol i guess I’m commenting on a different project perhaps. 😝

Same lol

It was definitely an EA call. They’ve been talking about kotor 3 for years internally. The devs want it, but you gotta keep up that stock price…:⁠-⁠\

As a person that worked at BioWare for 10 years. This is my theory. They just laid off 50 people src: https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/23/23843096/bioware-layoffs-dragon-age-dreadwolf-mass-effect Based on my current knowledge, Dragon Age and Mass Effect are still on; however, kotor 3 was pretty early. Some people suggested the 50 people were from swtor, however, BioWare Austin was sold to another publisher Broadsword: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/929816-an-update-on-the-development-of-swtor/

When i was at EA, support orgs were moved to internal EA and only the game team was specic to the studio. 50 people does not equal support, 50 people is a new project.

I theorized they cancelled kotor 3 then laid off a bunch of people, then transferred a bunch of people to mass effect and dragon age. I’ve been through 2 layoffs with EA and this is exactly what they do. It’s a shame because it was a long held passion project for a lot of the devs.

Lol this. Everyone’s so paranoid with locks, this only makes sense if you live in a concrete bunker. Also, if they want to get in, they will. Self housing and using devices that are patched and communicate locally is the way. The only issue with this is you have to be on top of your system and ensure it’s patched and up to date, but wouldn’t you oil your manual lock occasionally?

edit: added clarification

I think we all have the same reaction to this.

GRRR GROWL I love the series and this is bs.
