AI: “This is definitely a fake review because I wrote it.”

Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

At what age do you tell boomer parents the truth about Christmas? That their daughter who moved away to the “bIg CiTy” so she could get an “eDuCaTiOn” and pursue a “CaReEr” and “dRiNk LaTtEs” is actually happy there, is not going to come home from Christmas, fall in love with the blue collar boy who never left town, and magically discover the rural housewife life is what she actually wanted all along?

There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.

I like to bind. I like to be bound.

If the cop is a cute girl, then it becomes context-dependent.

“Faith-based” politics in a nutshell.

And even if some prototype device is, that doesn’t mean the production device will be, once things like heat and power usage have to really be accounted for.

Pickup owners shit on the Honda Ridgeline and call it “not a truck”, meanwhile their big manly Rams and F-250s live their lives in pure “mall crawler” mode.

The Ridgeline just quietly outlasts all those trucks and does all the furniture hauling and jetski towing that a homeowner needs. And the in-bed trunk (with drain plug!) is a tailgating champ.

Getting big “GameCube 3rd person action/platformer” vibes from the screens and watching a few seconds of the trailer.

A cheap hot tub in the living room.

The Omega Man (1971) is exciting and misses the point even further.

Appropriate, as the star of that movie usually did too.

By buy bye

N’SYNC intensifies

But, we do need to consider the roads we pave and the tools we use

This is the part that every “lol just turn off the crypto crap, no problem!” responses don’t understand. There are short-term issues, and there are long-term issues. Disabling undesired stuff fixes the short-term issue. Letting Brave build up their market share, at the expense of user-first options, creates long-term problems.

Someone played on the hardest difficulty (along with enabling the option to “pistol start” every level), and left a Steam review complaining that the expansion is too hard. That got a developer response.

I think Heretic crossed with Unreal is an accurate comparison.

Enemies may have been more plentiful than in Unreal, but movement is much closer to Unreal than Heretic’s DOOM engine movement. And it’s much closer to Unreal than anything in the Quake lineage.

Also, the weapon arsenal’s style is very Heretic, but the weapon behavior is very Unreal.

Same with the levels, honestly. Style is Heretic, but the level design itself reminded me of Unreal pretty frequently. (And nothing like the puzzle-heavy, hub-based Hexen)

It’s pretty much inevitable that people will cluster on a few larger, proven services.

Look at email. For most people, email is Gmail, or one of another small handful of giant services. But you can still get email from smaller providers, or run your own, and play ball with everyone else.

Never left. Never would leave. Chrome was always a trap.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.
