I truly believe there were only 2 factors that mattered in its death. First and foremost was the massive amount of debt the failure of the Saturn had left Sega already trying to recover from. If they hadn't had that to worry about it would have been financially successful as it stood.

The second factor was more insidious. Sony did such a good job hyping up the PS2 that people really believed it would be way more powerful than the DC. Yet the DC could produce better graphics than the PS2 at launch. But that's not what the public perception was. I worked at Electronic's Boutique during the PS2's launch, and no matter how much I tried it was impossible to diffuse the hype around it when I would try to convince people there was no need to wait and they should get a Dreamcast today rather than waiting for the PS2. But it was a lost cause most of the time. And ultimately those people are better off with how things eventually played out

You could also make your Chao fight each other, kinda like a Pokemon battle. Required two VMUs hooked together

I used to have Chao fights with my friend at lunch in high school. The VMUs totally worked

Ya know many inmates are forced to do labor that is contracted out to companies, and you get paid literally pennies an hour in return. It's not always just sitting there behind bars

The dude clearly does not live in reality

White supremacists are fearing the end of their rein

I certainly have no interest in buying one as long as he's still involved

Haha, maybe the photo-op with the upside down Bible wasn't an accident

As a former Christian, I still can't believe how many of these people never even read that book they're so fond of. Not a god damn clue in their heads if they think Trump is anything "Christ like". He does in many ways resemble an anti-christ though, so I could see the Armageddon accelerationists being supporters for their own twisted reasons

Wow. This is the guy who put out that album You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack. He's not just a terrible rapper, but a terrible human being

Copyright was never meant to be used how it is today. It was specifically made to protect small creators from having big companies come in and rip them off. Companies were never meant to be the beneficiaries. But lot of lobbying plus corporations are people too bullshit changed that.

Copyright is meant to last roughly the lifetime of the artist, but organizations can live forever. And then nothing ever goes in the public domain, a shared culture dissolves in to nothingness.

It's because the US doesn't have anti-monopoly laws. We have laws that you can't abuse your monopoly powers. And in this case, it was easier to prove against Google.

But it's still bullshit. Vertical Integration is just a vertical monopoly

So we need git add . && git commit -a here really

You need the "Userland" programs. Basic things like ls, cp, cat, etc. Usually it's GNU core tools, but there's also BusyBox or BSD equivalents.

They're claiming an "increase" in percentage. But just in LA, they had 1910 Fentanyl ODs last year. As while all of Oregon only had 955. It's bad everywhere

And yet recent studies show overdoses have not gone up as a result, and Fentanyl is a growing problem in all US cities. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/09/27/oregon-drug-decriminalization-measure-110-overdose-deaths/

EVs are just a drop in the bucket. Most of the greenhouse gasses come from factories and industrial use

Every year for over a decade has been the hottest on record. And that's not going to change till our societies change

It's not FOSS, but Google's adding this feature right into Photos
