I teared up at the PSP talk. I feel terrible that life requires a level of technology that not everyone is capable of affording and it doesn’t seem right.

Why are Americans allowed to invest in a business that would be illegal if based in the US? Why can they be patrons? Idgi

Companies are making decisions based on these things. It's mind-boggling.

I don't think the AI should have the ability to pretend it's something it's not. Claiming it's achieved some level of consciousness is just lying -- maybe that's another thing it should be prevented from doing. I ca

I really want all my media players to include this. Cheers doesn't look the same since my 27" CRT died, and watching it through Shader Glass reminds me a lot of the look of that old TV.

We did the same. Switching was a cinch honestly - the only thing that screwed me up was some dumb page that returned a bunch of nonsense I was supposed to do to my docker-compose.yml file to make it more compatible with podman-compose. I sp

I’m always thrilled when someone posts something new about Stunts. I had such a good time with that game in college. :)

It ticks me off that bots no longer respect robots.txt files at all. The authors of these things are complete assholes. If you’re one of them, gfy.

It absolutely floors me that children are forced by law to attend school and they don't automatically get a hot meal. That's irresponsible.

It was really the first usable smartwatch in my mind. My absolute favorite thing was that it gave developers the ability to create custom watch faces. I wrote a bunch of them and absolutely loved the dumb thing.

I'm guessing the author didn't play Cyberpunk at launch -- the cars and pedestrians would blink out of existence if you turned around. I couldn't help but think that Rockstar had figured this out 19 years prior in GTA3. :&#x

Hex tiles are a really smart improvement on the game. I do kind of miss the little trees instead of just the dark green color though. :D I also wonder if the graphics wouldn't make playing easier for color blind folks. :)

I feel super fortunate to be a part of that generation where screwing around at home could lead directly to employment. I taught myself Atari BASIC on my 800 and took a 286 IBM compatible to college where I was a music major. I dropped out

Prisons need to be run by the government and aim for rehabilitation. For-profit prisons shouldn't exist. What's the incentive for a company to rehabilitate prisoners? It'd ruin repeat business and eat into profits. :/

Safari in MacOS just shows a screen full of "Scroll down" after the initial "Let's Go" is clicked. :/

I'm 53 and love Spotify and Reddit's 80s subreddits for music discovery. I love finding new stuff (IDLES, Shame, and High Vis are recent faves) and finding old stuff that's new to me (I flew across the country to see The Cult

This is my fault. I finally unsubscribed from one of their annoying pointless emails that I never open this weekend.

I think this is where all the AI stuff is headed. Authors, artists, etc. are suing projects whose models just inhaled their work and generate derivative works and I'm surprised the studios aren't getting more involved with going a

What letdown -- they're unpopulated PCBs. I'd buy Major Havoc in a second if it was ready to pop into my Tempest machine. :)

... until they just take over the moderation of their largest communities and this whole thing ends. I mean what's so magical about the moderation of something like r/videos other than the mods being free labor for Reddit?

I miss 3dfiles.com . I wish there were people churning out cool stuff like back in the late 90s/early 2000s that would support goofy stuff like that. :)

From Dust played with the idea of terrain manipulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk4hRWD6BT8 I played it on the Xbox 360, but it's on Steam as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/33460&

Free speech isn't speech without consequences. All that the first amendment protects is government making laws restricting free speech, but if you're a customer and you're doing shit that I don't agree with, I have every
