Exactly. It's not like there aren't multiple timezones in Europe already

Does anyone else remember the encarta CDs that came with boxed Kellogg's cereals?

GOG was down during the mad scramble this week, so there's that

> Why do they keep stressing the "games you already bought!!!" part? There is no charge to play the game on your own hardware.

Correct, that is why the "to stream games you bought" qualifier exists in the title :)

Jeez that's sad. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it

I'll settle for idiots not posting screenshots into comments sections as an answer

I was an Ubuntu user at the time. From an outsider's perspective Ubuntu Touch thing looked so promising... then everything went sideways

That will open a can of worms. For one thing, Valve will be accused of trying to create a walled garden. Plus there's the whole problem of supporting the back-catalogue as others have said.

Maybe the best that they could to is to offer to distribute recompiled versions of the emulated binaries, similar to how they distribute compiled shaders. But I don't know if that would work, especially legally.

Kudos on that. I don't know what site you're hosting, but I appreciate knowing that it is there

No of course not, they merely license it from the government /s (or not /s? this whole thing is confusing)

Same here. Why do they do it do it this way?

Reminds me of this joke https://medium.com/s/silicon-satire/i-peeked-into-my-node-mo...

That person clearly doesn't know any people who make art.

Jeez, that takes me back. I could have sworn that it was earlier than 2005 though

Looking up Nightdive Studios is how I discover that Thief: TDP is getting a remaster. Worth it

This explains so much about my experiences

As I read down the readme, I kept saying to myself "ok, that's reasonable," right up until I saw the 300GB free space requirement to build the image. Is that really what is needed to build an image for a phone or is this a one-off?

The most polite error message ever

The video game Uru shipped with the sounds as ogg files. Post installation they were decompressed to wav files, I'm guessing so that they can squeeze some more performance out of the game

> "Think about it. Think of the most average person you know. 50% are more stupid than them. And you won't get any value out of speaking to those"

That right there is very telling. They don't know the difference between median and average

I want to piggy-back off this: if there must be an electron application, then at least make it available on different platforms

I had initially learned about bubble memory from the Logopolis serial of Doctor Who. I actually went and looked it up after watching it because the concept sounded neat

Being able to put epubs bought elsewhere and reading them without needing to convert the files is a huge plus

Sorry, no. Code doesn't magically go from the intern's workstation to live. If the chain of incompetence is that long, then the most generous read is that they don't care

I'm sorry, but what does "pre-installation deals with smartphone makers" have to do with being open?

Also, very rich given their very active attempts at nailing the door shut on every version of Android except for Android + Google

I think you might need to reconsider how open Android actually is given the recent moves.

The first few seem like sensible thoughts to me. What if the font doesn't load from the CDN for some reason?

Just add a font fallback.

The first thing I did when I read the parent comment was to double-check if I mixed-up my German companies.

There's only one reason why they're doing this: it benefits them in some way.
