Wolves have a peculiar view of the passage of time and their relationship with other wolves of the pack. They think of were-wolves, are-wolves and will-be-wolves.
My personal headcanon: When no one is looking, Miriel tries to stregthen those useless legs by listening to some awesome inspiring music and just vibing along.
Back in the day, like 10 years ago, I used to have a Samsung tablet and a phone. Sometimes, when I took either of them out of the standby (and the devices would renegotiate their Wi-Fi), my router would just jam up horribly. No access to the admin interface. No logs. Nothing to do but reboot.
Now, the only Samsung device I have is my TV. Sometimes, thankfully very rarely, when I fire it up, it, um, my router just jams up horribly. No access to the admin interface. No logs. Nothing to do but reboot. And it's a different router from a completely different manufacturer. Also it's connected via ethernet.
There was this little RPG company, BioWare, that made this little known game called... uh... Baldur's Gate or something. Then they made Baldur's Gate II. And all was fine. And then they said "you know what, we should do something really cool and innovative and creative!" ...And they did! They made Neverwinter Nights. And Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro was a real drag in the process, wanting them so many compliance meetings regarding the content and canon and game mechanics. So Bioware was like "OK this is the absolute last time we work with this kind of nitpickers, we'll create our own fantasy RPG setting and system." ...and that's how Dragon Age came about.
WotC/Hasbro isn't any easier to work with these days, that's for sure. Except this time, even the tabletop fans know that.
Hopefully Larian gets to eventually make the epicest dream game they can and, uh, not get bought out by EA or something.
Got my own PC, went with Slackware again for some God-forsaken reason
Debian again and that's where I've stayed for most part - I tried using Ubuntu as a desktop laptop distro for a while but at some point I realised I should have installed Debian to begin with so I went with that there too
Yeah, you can technically write object oriented code in C. Or any other language. Just that actual OOP languages provide a nicer syntax and compile time checks.
Rust is kind of a good example of this. It's technically not an object oriented language, but the trait system brings it close.
I'm going to just say that I'm exteremely sceptical on how this will turn out, just because there has been quite a few Wikipedia forks that have not exactly worked out despite the best interests and the stated objectives they had.
Now - Wikipedia isn't exactly an entity that doesn't have glaring problems of its own, of course - but I'm just saying that the wiki model has been tried out a lot of times and screwed up many times in various weird ways.
There's exactly two ways I can see Wikipedia forks to evolve: Crappily managed fork that is handled by an ideological dumbass that attracts a crowd that makes everything much worse (e.g. Conservapedia, Citizendium), or a fork that gets overrun by junk and forgotten by history, because, well, clearly it's much more beneficial to contribute to Wikipedia anyway.
I was about to respond with a copy of the standard Usenet spam response form with the "sorry dude I don't think this is going to work" ticked, but Google is shit and I can't find a copy of that nonsense anymore, so there.
I hope Firefox implements a great and robust tab grouping feature. Because they used to have one that worked beautifully.
Firefox used to have Panorama view, which was a way to group tabs with a nice visual interface. ...and they removed it because not enough people were using it.
...Well if you stopped removing useful and perfectly functional features, maybe you wouldn't need to rebuild them later when it turns out people do want that feature, huh, Mozilla?
About the time I couldn't keep up which streaming service had it this week. I mean, it was on Netflix here at first, but after that, it was anyone's guess.
I swear none of the American technobros went "paywalling a wheelchair with Bluetooth bullshit and doing screwy insurance shenanigans? damn, that's a little bit too fucked up, even for us". Instead, they went "that's ingenious, why didn't we think of it first?"
No, there are more elements. But there are only two elements there is an infinite supply of in the universe, Hydrogen and Stupidity, and we're not sure about Hydrogen. /forgot whose joke this was
I bought a Canon laser printer 10 years ago. The only thing I've needed since then was a single new set of toner. (And a bunch of paper, obviously.)
Even back then it was pretty obvious that ink jets are waste of money and everyone that I knew who had ink jets were just constantly complaining about them.
