Or better yet, that 1% can run in a VM

The Boss from Saints Row IV. Intro was stupid fun, rest of the game was...ehhh

We now consider this anniversary version of Half Life to be the definitive version, and the one we'll continue to support going forward. Therefore, we'll be reducing the visibility of Half Life: Source on the Steam Store. We know Half-Life: Source's assets are still being used by the Source engine community, so it'll remain available, but we'll be encouraging new Half-Life players to play this version instead.

Wow. Didn't think they'd ever acknowledge HL:S again but here we are. This is such a cool update.

Link to the project? I'd like to follow the repo if possible!

Found you, Rich Evans

I managed to bork my first Linux mint install by not paying attention to my permissions I was setting for a usb drive and basically locked myself out of the system and prevented it from booting into the desktop environment. Lesson learned, don't copy/paste commands from StackOverflow and run them without thinking about what you're trying to do

Basically everything in this video: https://youtu.be/cDY2p1CTkPo?si=PxNMLURX7MMx6dLG

Seriously it's mad impressive

Too bad Unity axed that project to create a game in-house using the engine to identify weak points and improve the engine. My guess is they realized how many of their acquired tools aren't as good as they had hoped and didn't want to admit they messed up in a few places. I sense lots of tech debt in the engine.

The real question is do the fans still smell good when they kick on for the first time? Mine lost its new-factory smell

Can't argue with 45TB of storage, fair enough!

Yeah, and I found a channel called the Bread Circus a while back as a result. Really great Star Wars lore stuff for those interested: https://youtube.com/@thebreadcircus?si=fc2KNTkKh5oNNEVz

Immediately thought of Spool, ah old funhaus was peak

The IRS still uses data tapes, which has caused some issues lately

Google is an ad company first, and as long as that gravy train is flowing they'll be fine. Their dominance as a search engine is just to maintain their monopoly on internet ads, not give customers a good searching experience, hence why sponsored links are the first thing to appear and count as a view in their analytics

NetBoot: "rather than offer you then illusion of free choice, I have taken the liberty of choosing for you"

If you throw away the trash can from your house, you still have to put the garbage somewhere. If a program is outputting errors or logs, it still needs to put them somewhere, so no more /dev/null means no more default trashcan for the system to send its trash, as far as I understand it

They will eventually, they just won't be as brazen about it

Ubuntu I feel is a necessary stepping stone for newbie Linux users, myself included. It's a starting point that some may never leave, but as the user gets more comfortable I would hope they'd branch out to a different distro that better suits their needs. Sometimes it's Ubuntu, many realize they should just run Debian with their wm of choice. Regardless of where they land, at least they aren't using Windows

Yall remember that scene in Inception where the old people go to someone's basement and dream all day with that machine?

Wasn't there a basketball coach that got fired for saying basically this, albeit not as...elegantly?
