I'd be even more interested in how the initial conversations about the alcoholic sunfish were like.

This Soviet style nonsense is why western society is going to fall to China by the end of the century.

Unfortunately, the gatekeepers of science care about feelings, more than they care about science.

Edge made a lot more sense when it had its own rendering engine instead of being yet another Chromium paint-job. The EdgeHTML engine was actually doing a good job of catching up with everything before Microsoft made the switch, too.

The growing Chrome/Blink monoculture is one of the biggest threats to the web right now in a way worse than IE6 ever was, and by switching to Chromium from EdgeHTML, Microsoft only made the problem worse.

Regulations? Legislation? None of that means anything in this age of "it's only wrong/illegal if you get caught". What's needed is to kick these shitty anti-user services to the curb, and switch wholesale to ones that actually care about user agency, security, and privacy.

>Maybe this trusted computing stuff really is what the web is bound to become, either using your certified TPM keys or maybe your Electronic National ID card or maybe both in order to attest the genuineness of the device that is making the requests.

If this is the future, I'm going to say "fuck the internet" and return to the soil.

It was the same thing with Emby.

The article even says that they stumbled into this more or less accidentally, but I guess the author didn't want to give up such a great clickbaity title.

>The only reason you don't see this said all the time in 2023 is that it was settled years ago.

Was it? If it was settled, we wouldn't keep seeing these kinds of debates.

>Cryptography engineers hate JWT.

Appeal to authority. I'm sure that they hate plenty of other things too, doesn't make their opinions or emotions automatically correct.

Honestly, I'd rather be stuck again with the restrictions IE put on us than the social destruction Google is waging on the internet.

Given that R and T are at lot closer on the keyboard than S and T, I'm pretty sure that "repotting" is supposed to be "reporting".

Agreed, but that still wouldn't help with games that have primarily online experiences, because things like server programs and content management systems also need to be archived for those -- and these (almost) never reach the hands of the people.

Does it avoid ZP addresses with special purpose for the system when doing this?

I'm sure that being an NFT will prevent me from downloading the next monkey JPEG I come across.

Haven't I heard this one before? Multiple times? Over the past 20+ years?

What's different this time?

Oops, yes!

Microsoft /did/ go back, once, for an updated version of BASIC-65.

I wouldn't really put the blame for this on Commodore. The integer code for BASIC-65 is common across all the platforms that licensed it from Microsoft.

So nice that Commodore actually bought it off the developer and shipped it with later releases of AmigaOS. It's not just a great way to automate a lot of Amiga apps (since most, both commercial and "PD", had ARexx support) but also a useful IPC mechanism on the platform.

>It's similar to how demoscene operates.

Considering that the demoscene spun off the cracking scene...

Finally, a politician who gets it.

How about a disconnect even when it's open?

How timely, given I was looking into how to archive the content of a server I "run".

When you need to get units on shelves as quickly as possible, you take whatever's already available and bend it to the particular project's needs. This has been game development since forever.

Same here! I've been looking for an open alternative to 010 for some time now, and to have this just fall in my lap is amazing.

Don't get me wrong, it's very entertaining, but that doesn't change the fact that it takes my suspension of disbelief and bashes it around the head and neck with a sock full of Septims.

Honestly, I think we need more voice actors, not less. One of my biggest complaints with the dialogue in Oblivion wasn't the inanity of the "conversations" but the fact that there weren't enough different voices to go around so everyone of same race and sex would sound the same.

Morrowind: The Dark Souls of The Elder Scrolls.

It has a nice ring to it!

Honestly I think that the reuse of voice actors is even more annoying in Oblivion than the absurd non-conversations NPCs keep having with each other.

It's not for people like us who even know what a CSV is, it's for people who have some scripting/programming knowledge, but mainly live in Excel all day.
