It was an obvious content bait piece, and it worked. Got shared everywhere, people kept saying "no the game is actually amazing now guys trust me buy three copies" and all it took was a Discord message, way cheaper than hiring a link building service or outreach campaign.

With the entirety of South America to choose from, who the hell migrates to Argentina?

Feminicide is a killing motivated by gender. Sure, the man might not have killed any woman, just his wife... But would he have killed his brother?

The idea that a wife is a belonging and that abusing or even killing her over a domestic dispute is deeply rooted in traditional gender values, so killing your wife is got a gigantic gender-related motivation behind it.

Back when I was a Reddit moderator, somebody posted literal child pornography on our casual conversation subreddit. It got caught by AutoModerator, but I gave him the final ban, and Reddit's admins purged the account soon after.

Guess who stalked me for three years.

and floating point isn't a precision

Floating point precision does not mean I'm saying "floating point is a precision", whatever that sentence means.

The PlayStation can't use anything but integers to place points in 3D space.

What makes Ubuntu a GNU operating system isn't the fact that it's FSF approved, it's the fact that it uses GNU tools.

Exactly. You're precisely right. Which is why:

What makes software open source isn't the fact that it's OSI approved, it's the fact that the source is open for scrutiny.

GabeN once leaked his password on purpose to prove how secure Steam Authenticator was, before people were familiar with 2FA.

No, that's the OpenSource Initiative's definition for what they endorse.

Open source quite literally means the source is open. That's it. Otherwise there would be absolutely no point in having terms like FOSS or libre or whatever else.

They're not OSI approved, but that's about it. Ubuntu is not FSF approved, and guess what, it's still a GNU operating system. We are not forced to follow definitions from specific orgs.

The PlayStation hardware is barely capable of 3D at all.

Sure, it can accelerate some polygon math, but that's about it. No texture mapping, no Z depth, no floating point precision, no anti-aliasing, no shading.

Not really. Open source isn't synonymous with libre or free software.

I can have software that is protected via extremely restrict commercial licenses and open source. In fact, there are many examples.

I'll drink to that memory, my brother

Sorry 😞

"what should I do if I'm going through severe emotional distress? How to choose a good psychiatrist?"

ChatGPT: "I'm sorry to hear that you've been going to a stressful situation, it's always worth talking about your feelings. I've come up with a plan to help you:

I really non ironically miss the friction of the old internet.

I prefer how it took time to find some bare HTML university website, slowly browse through an index as if it was a book, and then find one non-SEO optimized page with all the information you needed on a topic for your research.

The time to browse, being exposed to other terms, having to select the pages yourself, being skeptical by nature, and then having to copy it by hand... This is a much more positive scenario than having a gigantic company learn everything about you and everybody else and then make these decisions for you, using some hidden algorithm, and with the ultimate goal of pushing their newest process. And of course, the content has been rendered virtually useless to appeal to that algorithm.

Gears of War is a fantastic game, and it looks surprisingly good even to this day, if you can get past that specific "Xbox 360 grey and sepia" colour filter that every game seemed to use.
