According to another poster above he was a baptist, according to them suicide is a sin although not an unpardonable one

it's never necessary

The national gimp council may never again be taken seriously if it cannot quell internecine conflict between its regional factions

He's been at it for five years - the Essex Gimp last year was complaing about the bad reputation the Somerset Gimp was bringing to the gimp community

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of ports with very few changes from the original, bad kbm controls, no new graphics settings type of thing

Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.

Trying to make an “everything app” at all, whoever is in charge, is dystopian. Given the conspiracy theorists' general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it's a wonder he isn't pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him instead. Maybe he is and I just haven't kept up

the .jsm extension was made for this

I don't really mind bad PC ports as I play them with an xbox controller anyway and they're usually cheaper and better than if you bought them on console

The word originates from the Tiananmen Square massacre

This part isn't right, it comes from the Hungarian revolution of 1956

i guess you can't tell which metrics are tracked by which website but you can see the potential ones at https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

if you want a 1:1 replacement for reddit like .world seems like it wants to be, cloning the interface (https://old.lemmy.world) and the subreddits (e.g. this one) then of course you you will find it lacking, it's the same thing but with only a fraction of the users. lemmy was not made for that, it was for disgruntled communists, you are on their turf

Just as all US citizens are responsible for ongoing drone strikes etc

In the USA maybe. In the UK it was a 90s sitcom

tbf the fast-forwarding way you can skip dialogue and just read the subtitles without missing anything is one of the best things introduced in this game

disaster capitalists at it again

good news for developers means good news for players too so: good news all round

is this an elaborate joke

Just because some authorities implement it poorly doesn't mean it can't be effective. i just looked up new york rent control and it says

To qualify for rent control, a tenant must have been continuously living in an apartment since July 1, 1971, or be a qualifying family member who succeeded to such tenancy. When vacant, a rent-controlled unit becomes "rent stabilized", except in buildings with fewer than six units, where it is usually decontrolled. In units within single and two-family homes, the tenant must have resided in the unit continuously since March 31, 1952, to qualify for rent control. Once the unit becomes vacant, it is decontrolled.[4][5] Rent control does not generally apply to units built after 1947. wikipedia

well then what is the fucking point? and rent stabilisation seems no better

This is a pretty good example tbh. consider:

make a twitter account, you can see what's popular and tweet insults at celebrities

vs

make a mastodon account, you can use fedilabs to allow hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions
