Just speculation here, but is this a sign that CDPR is tilting more towards mainstreaming GOG over prioritizing game development? Valve did exactly that with Steam and they very, very rarely release games they make any more.
Steam is a cash cow that literally just prints money for them. I’d imagine CDPR corpos to be salivating over that kind of low maintenance income that comes with owning a large digital distribution gaming platform.
So… when will there be PowerPoints and training that will now be required as a result of this incident? Now DoD employees will have to sit through yet another hour-long presentation about how to not make spelling mistakes lol.
The only appropriate response to that is
git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
From Article 19, Section 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 20, 1989:
States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.
Sadly, the United States (of which Missouri is a state) has only signed, but not yet ratified, this Convention. Still, I think this warrants getting some international attention lest this becomes normalized again.
Mmm heavy metal carcinogenic smell.

So… how long until the Property Value Karens of the world get all wound-up about how “crime will increase” in their neighborhood?
At this point we might as well go full Roman as you suggested. MXMCIIV to MXMCCVII as indices.
69¢, Nice. That had to be intentional.
And a good coffee grinder. The difference in freshness is quite noticable when grinding whole beans right before brewing a pot.
Hmm I thought Toyota was focusing more on Hydrogen powered cars as a long-term strategy rather than EVs.
It sounds like you might like Kenshi. It’s also an open world game that has no real quests and is all about what you make of it. The UI and controls are a little rough around the edges and the early game is unforgiving (to put it mildly), but I’ve never played any other game like it.
Imagine being dropped into a foreign world with different factions as a complete nobody and being a wanderer to the world.
Insects are taking… Our jerbs???
the Fediverse is not a pooled cluster of compute resources, but instead a loosely associated grouping of self-governing online gathering places.
What about those of us who desire to be part of a collective consciousness Borg-like hivemind that exists in symbiosis with our computer AI overlords?
Or having decisions forced upon us by megalomaniac billionaires.
The in game potatoes can have the tooltip description, “Po-tay-toes, boil 'em, mash 'em, stuck 'em in a stew.”
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today’s standards.
This trend is bad for the Google brand, and I’m surprised that the higher ups there don’t understand it. Why should I use a Google service and get attached to it if they are going to unexpectedly remove it entirely?
How long until Google Earth gets the axe? Or even Gmail? I’m writing this on my Google Pixel, but they could theoretically just say “naw we wanna leave the phone market” and then may not make the phone any longer or not provide OS or security updates if that is their prerogative.
For such a large tech company, they have the resources to run these services at cost in order to have their users be more valuable to them in the long term.
I’m still bitter about them completely dismantling the original Google Talk desktop application two decades ago (yes they weren’t shortened to app then lol) as it was the best communication platform of its time and had very clear voice comms.
We would probably have a better Supreme Court even if we had arbitrary requirements that make little sense but would be a better alternative to what we have now. For instance:
All Justices must have the name Horatio (either a given name or by name change). No last names.
Twenty years of experience required in horticulture, which because of the forementioned name change, is more like horatioculture.
Must have read at least 3000 books of any type.
Can juggle an arbitrary amount of oranges on demand.
Has combat experience in either blunt or bladed weaponry in the event of a zombie apocalypse, with a skill level scaled to their age. Alternatively, skilled in the occult and necromancy (to turn the undead).
Can create rhythmic song related to the laws being discussed in the event of spontaneous musicals.
They say they get around the easy linking of a single wallet address to your identity by using subaddresses. I don’t think this fixes it, it merely delays it.
The number of these subaddresses are capped to prevent botting. But suppose you use this account every day for years or decades. You’ve meticulously allocated subaddresses for different categories of spending, assessed the risk profile of using each one, and used them throughout the years until you’re out of subaddresses.
Now you’re vulnerable to having your identity tied to the account since the risk of getting had goes up every time you use any of your subaccounts. And this risk only increases the more you use your Worldcoin.
Even if the biometric privacy safeguards they built in (hashing yer Mk. I orbs) work perfectly, I wouldn’t use it for the reasons I mentioned above, there isn’t a way to ensure transactional anonymity if your account/subaccounts can be linked to your real identity regardless of the method.
