Always a great game to get back into. Or get into in the first place.

The latest patch was kind of disappointing and I hope they do tweak some of the issues, but I’m still looking forward to the new expansion reveal tomorrow. The teasers were pretty neat so far.

Genius. If you export some of the apes, the remaining population requires less habitat, leaving more room for plantations! /s

If you work from home, you’re spending a lot of time in that chair. A good, ergonomic chair can go a long way to mitigate back issues.

The more you learn about JavaScript, the less you understand how the modern web actually functions.

And that not only people living paycheck to paycheck. I’m fairly well off, renting a decent flat for a good price. But fuck yeah would I move to a bigger and better place if I could afford it. Would love to have a balcony, less traffic outside, and space for a bigger gaming table.

Plot twist: This was posted by another Indian software development company doing in a false flag marketing operation to discredit their competitor.

The whole genocide or not discussion just distracts from the obvious fact that Israel is commiting war crimes for which they should definitely answer, even if the total extermination of the Palestinian people is not on their agenda.

The first one reminds me of this classic

Fun fact: there was an attempt to ban the NPD years ago, but it was deemed unnecessary because they never got enough votes to be a serious threat to democracy.

I found a free and foss alternative to OpenAudible that seems to work fine: https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect

There’s a sister project to convert the aax (m4b) files, but I found that to be unnecessary.

Historically, it was implemented because in the 1800’s, a lot could happen between an election in, say, Wisconsin, and the time the electoral college member arrives in Washington DC.

The US being the oldest democracy might have a nice ring to it, but realistically it’s just means that there’s a lot of outdated baggage attached.

Aren’t forums absolutely notorious for forbidding “thread necromancy”?

This honestly looks really really good. I played a lot of TR2 in my childhood, might pick it up for nostalgia.

I think the “make it look how people remember” is a great approach to remaster graphics. They were iconic and state of the art back when they came out, but PS1 era graphics are among the worst-aged graphics out there.

Die Linke will surely lose some (crazy) voters to BSW, but might gain some from the SPD (social democrats) or the Green party in return.

I’m not familiar with the current state of Linux, but the minimum usability bar for the general public is never ever having to open a terminal.
