On the ground, Zerg, they move too fast. In space, the Borg. A cube probably shrugs off whatever organic projectiles the Zerg use.

Reason number one million capitalism sucks. We should be happy to turn over dangerous or menial jobs to machines but we can’t do that because without jobs our society views us as worthless.
Even in the promos Kes is awkwardly tacked on.
Whew, for a second there I thought someone was burning people alive in an illegal fashion.
You can, but it’s not a perfect solution. Mostly because the TVs interface is still designed around this app mentality.
I bought a Samsung TV recently and it’s never been on the internet, but I still have to go to a dead home screen where all of the ads would be just to switch inputs and half the buttons on the remote are for services I don’t want.
I agree. LD is great, but it’s also feeling like the story is nearing a logical endpoint. The main cast has already ranked up and learned to deal with their issues. It’s only a matter of time before they’re split up and I’d rather have the show deal with that directly and end conclusively while it’s still a great show, than to last another 10 seasons.
This better not awaken anything in me…
That’s a fun thought experiment. Weird to think about Kirk’s lines delivered in Shakespearean actor English instead of his iconic halting delivery.
I recently (2020) played BG1 and 2 with their expansions and on the one hand you’re right… But on the other getting the same story with 10x the graphics and some modern QoL would be great. Reaching BG3’s massive audience - that isn’t all 90s nostalgia gamers - with a story that’s new-to-them would really help cement it in the same way BG2 did for BG1.
Holy shit, please let this happen.
They don’t, but they define the socket the processor slots into and probably did this to market the newer chips as more advanced than they are (by bundling a minor chip upgrade with an additional chipset upgrade that may have more uplift).
I see no other reason to kneecap upgrades like this when upgrading entails the consumer buying more of your product.
I love how surreal this is.
Honestly, with Flatpak and immutable base systems this is a place Linux is really excelling now too. Being able to show a novice user a shared package manager with a search and a bunch of common apps and them actually install/remove them in a safe manner with a high likelihood they’ll work out of the box (since they come with all their deps in sync independent from distro) is kinda huge.
For kernel dev it would be a disaster, there’s too much implicit action, and abstractions that have unknown runtime cost. The classic answer is that everyone uses 10% of its features over C, but nobody can agree on which 10%.
As someone forced to get up to date with C++ recently, at this point it’s a language in full identity crisis. It wants so badly to be Rust, but it’s got decades of baggage it’s dragging along.
In a world where Valve controls 90% of what is running on a device with immutable / containerized images, yeah I think Arch makes a lot more sense. A distro focused on rolling release is a lot less likely to hang you up when you choose to update.
Debian is great, but depending on where you are in the release cycle it can be a pain in the ass to stay up to date and, frankly, the last time I ran it, shit like apt/dpkg configuration and so many /etc files and structures just felt like mis-features or too complex for their own good.
It’s a bit more than that with Kitfox involved, but I don’t see why that makes him wrong. Greed kills a ton of creativity in games. Not just layoffs but over aggressive monetization and fear of innovation.
For music I’m just sick of the apps streaming super compressed crap. It sounds like 192kbps MP3 sometimes and you can definitely tell the difference. Setup Airsonic and never looked back, although still have YT music for the fam and finding new music. It is a bit of hassle, but it’s worth it and a FLAC collection feels way smaller than it did 10-20 years ago (both in terms of disk and home streaming bandwidth).
You lift the mask off the Military, and it’s Imperialism. Lift the mask again and it’s Capitalism.
“And I’m getting away with it too, despite you meddling kids!”
That’s an interesting thought. I’ve wondered this about Chrome’s market share in browsers too. How much of it is just that so much traffic is now from phones where, even if you have another browser installed, apps open links in embedded Chrome web views.
Yeah, but you see they were in danger from the Vietnam draft, doesn’t take empathy to act in self interest.
