  • Most places are defederated from grad and hex already. ML is essentially considered too big to fail so most sites won't defed from them.

  • they had a flyer that literally said “not S&P approved”

    Also a recurring problem in ReBoot. The original network wouldn't let them do a ton of stuff for often vague reasons or ones that implied something was deeply wrong with the person monitoring the show. There's an article about all the absurdity.

  • I think that's technically true regardless.

  • Before they abandoned it for Gnome 3, Ubuntu's Unity DE had the ability to search any program's menus. Was really handy for many things, but especially Gimp.

  • Body Odor Over Internet Protocol, or BOOIP.

  • Enable y-axis look inversion. Because which way was "normal" and "inverted" hadn't been standardized when I started gaming and that's what I learned.

  • The uninhabited islands bit is interesting. It looks like they stumbled on a massive money laundering operation. Not that they'll look into it, mind you.

  • Credits followed by the opening crawl also would have been tedious.

  • Rules were changed. Lucas actually left the directors guild to have closing credits instead of opening credits. Not sure if he ever rejoined.

  • The sheet was describing the new box art spec for games like this one, not saying that that their new games would do that. It will probably be the same situation as with the Switch 1 where only a tiny fraction of games are like that.

  • None of those are legal barriers. Being under 35 is.

  • Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.

  • There are also multiple lazarus pits under the city contaminating the drinking water, the pits are known to cause mental instability, and the city might be cursed.

  • Turn based tactics or 4x games would absolutely benefit from both, and the touch screen. Being able to play Fire Emblem with any of the three depending on what's comfortable at the time would be wonderful.

  • Even then, it's not a full stop on incompatibility, it just means that you need to own Switch 1 joycons to pair to the system instead of using the new ones. So you can play Ringfit on Switch 2, if you have the old joycons and a way to charge them.

  • No, this was the military. Comstar is when the phone company does it.

  • CAUGHT

    Jump
  • Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.

  • IIRC, someone got with the author of that bit of code to ask how they came up with it, but they had simply learned it from someone else. So they tracked them down and found that they had also learned it from someone else. They eventually landed on Greg Walsh as the original author, but for a bit the code had no known origin.

  • So, you know how Erdogan recently threw bogus charges at a candidate and revoked the guy's degree to make him ineligible? That's why banning people with criminal records isn't a good idea; the current government can just bar the opposition from running.

  • Vantablack is a specific chemical product, not a color. If you can get something just as black via a different process they can't do anything.
