Did you read the article? His plan was to prevent people from existing who didn't consent. Which he failed at. But he did kill himself...

Tain planet, he's our hero.

I had this problem with a fucking bank once. Even better are the sites that silently chop off characters after the internal limit, on the backend, but don't tell you or limit the characters on the frontend. I had a really fun time with that last scenario once, resetting my password over and over and having it never work until I decided to just try a shorter password.

I just tossed several. I have used them rarely but kept up with every one ever

works for me

I miss this motherfucker. Fuck NBC.

I despise the term "circlejerk" and was only using it sarcastically. But in any case, I do grow tired of people shitting on linux. The reasons? I have explained a million times.

I mean, either deal with windows and its 1000 flaws or the same with linux. Some of us would just rather deal with flaws that are honest. I'd rather deal with a bug that 100 people around the globe work together to fix in a timely matter than deal with shit-ass "features" that actively ruin my experience because some disgusting executives want to buy more Porsches this summer. While pretending to care about me as a customer.

Cue "I just want to play games". Well yeah me too sometimes. Now that I have an AMD card, I never have a problem with it. I spent a lot of time testing my games and 86% worked fine. This included a lot of sketchy/old games (Jedi Knight 1 and 2 for example -- those barely can work on anything newer than win 98) that I didn't expect to work actually... If we're only talking new games, it's probably like 95%. I don't play games enough to care about an occasional poorly-written game not working.

Weirdly defensive about something that you yourself admitted that no one accused you of being

Old people

I agree. The impact can be real, and that's the case for my coding job too, maybe to a lesser extent than yours. A lot of days I think I have my dream job. But still, digital data isn't like a Roman ruin or something. It will be gone in 1000 years. Just wild to think about, and sometimes I feel like that fact matters.

If someone has a weird vibe to them, I definitely check (discretely) what they are up to.

I feel you. I think about how intangible code is and how quickly that will fade from existence... It's heavy, to say the least. And yet the challenge ever calls me to solve a problem with ones and zeroes.

And the windows circlejerk says private, secure, performant OSes that also play most games are trash not worth trying. Hm.

You're almost entirely correct. Slight caveats -- on step two, HBO Now had a slightly different catalog than Go due to said agreements. Then on step three they also added a bunch of non-HBO stuff too. You probably know this stuff I'm just spelling it out for anyone who might not.

lol

I think the issue is that the CEO in charge changed. HBO is owned by conglomerates and has changed hands a couple times now.

I'd argue the only indefensible move was changing it to "Max" at all. The other rebrands sort of made sense in context

Ski free was available as an HTML 5 game years ago, so probably

More than fine. It's the goal.

Same as my experience
