I doubt they’re being ignored so much as it is much easier to prosecute crimes where there is concrete evidence. Al Capone wasn’t convicted for countless murders etc, but tax evasion.

At least once they’re incarcerated, it’s not impossible to try them on other charges

Depends how you view priorities. $10/y or one time $250. I’ve owned several domains for longer than 25 years. $250 is a pretty sweet deal.

There’s no place like /home

It started with making office computers personable for home use in Windows 95 e.g. “My Computer”, “My Documents”.

This carried on into web services like My Yahoo, or terms like My Account.

Smashing it into one word was also a thing back in the late 90s / early 00s because it (a) was easy for searching in older search engines and (b) sounded like Apple’s iPod, iMac etc (MyPod, MyMac).

Continued use today is usually because of either (a) it’s been called that for a couple of decades already or (b) the product manager is themselves old and has forgotten how old the trend of trying to make those new fangled computerybobs sound welcoming and friendly.

If Epic spent half as much money as they are suing organisations and instead funded developing their shop into a gaming community platform like Steam, they’d probably have caught up by now.

Most corporate owned devices are managed with some kind of tool (for restricting what users can do, pushing out software and updates, etc). These tools are called Mobile Device Management (MDM).

The developer is detecting the presence of MDM tools and using that to present a splash page to the user about the licensing requirements etc.

Some educational institutes use MDM to manage students, even so far as to require it be installed on personal owned devices. The developer has been working with edu users to except them.

And don’t drink spirits. Keep your drinks to lower alcohol percentages (e.g. beer) so you can control your intake and moderate how quickly you get drunk and how drunk you get.

And if you start to notice you’re struggling with basic motor skills (using your hands, walking, standing, etc) it’s time to stop and switch to water. And maybe eat some carbohydrates and fats.

Half-Life was the same. The game doesn’t spoon feed you a narrative, the same way real life doesn’t have a narrator (at least one outside of your head).

You need to pay attention to your surroundings, listen in to NPCs talking, read posters on the wall, etc to piece together the story.

It was and is one of the cooler ways to do storytelling in my opinion. Cutscenes etc are fine but for a first person game, I love the immersion of the story happening around you rather then being loredumped on you while your agency is taken away from you.

Bad for Meta. They wasted a lot of time, money, manpower etc.

Edit: I’m just answering the person’s question. I hate Meta - I don’t have Facebook and I don’t have a Quest.

Pretty sure it’s My Name Is All En.

Newell talked openly about this entire topic at LinuxCon years ago. It’s been 12 years and they’ve been true to their word.

The amount they’ve contributed upstream is insane, and the money they’ve provided to Linux-ecosystem contractors is also insane.

They’re profit motivated, 100%, but at least they’ve done so while being a good citizen in the FOSS movement (bar the Steam Client itself). SUSE, Canonical etc are all for-profit orgs that help push FOSS forward.

Profitability and Free and Open Source Software aren’t mutually exclusive.

Mozilla are still using Phabricator?! That stopped being maintained in 2021…

Apple’s entire history as an org has been as a fast follower, not a first mover.

The Apple Newton is a great example of why they avoid being a first mover.

I’m always confused why the energy isn’t just put on pressuring Firefox publicly rather than just sitting in comments being negative and suggesting forks that critically depend on Firefox and can no way continue development without upstream.

I woodn’t know

Like wooden knife with a wooden wood

Edit:

We’ve got four different sized honey spoons in our house!

Next they’re going to say they don’t own any wooden butter knives…

Steamdb lets you filter out games with less than x reviews which I’ve made liberal use of over the years.

I’d just take a look at the Steam Deck Verified pages as that’ll give you a good idea about a game (at least though Proton).

It comes from here: Thinking, Fast and Slow
