Wasn't ten years ago just Chrome, though?

I think you mean 20 years ago.

They must've done it in the hyperbolic time chamber.

No, viruses don't mean the scientific definition of life. IIRC, the primary reason why is because, in order to make copies of itself, it must hijack a living cell's reproductive system to do so. It can't simply divide to make more of itself.

That's how my "I'm stuck in my own bed and can't move or talk" nightmare usually begins.

One day, he's going to try to log out, and the logout button will be missing.

Then the only way he'll be able to wake up is by beating all 100 floors of his dream. But if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life.

Linux, politics, and the occasional meme that doesn't fit in either of the other two categories.

It dis-assembled the computer!

Oh, we had something like this in college. The vendor would load up the... well, actually, it was more like a big version of those little coolers you see in the checkout line in grocery stores—the ones with the sodas and stuff in them. Anyway, the vendor would load them up every couple days. It'd have sandwiches, salads, puddings (which were actually really popular), sodas, Gatorade, water, and a bunch of other stuff. If we wanted something, we would just get it out, scan the barcode on the scanner attached to the handle, tap our phones or cards to pay, and be on our way.

Since you mentioned it, I'm obligated to link this clip.

It's worth noting that the saved pages are the only thing that are back for now. Their other services have not yet been brought back online.

and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Maybe they should've, you know, looked at the site for 2 minutes before signing up. The modlog is linked at the bottom of every page.

Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I'd placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

Wait, you mean that guy who stood in front of the Waymo car?

Like I said, the illustration does break down.

I think OP is saying that, while you can buy a book to read it, you do not own the copyright to that book. They're saying it's basically the same idea with GOG.

The illustration does break down, but I think their point still stands.

Good thing I don't use Tabs.

Most stores around me thankfully don't even use the weight station. I don't even think Walmart does anymore since they "upgraded" their checkouts recently. (The self checkouts have completely taken over and have a sort of open floor concept going on.)

That's an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam's Club has the option available in their app for all members.

Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn't Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.
