The term “unalive” is so cringey yet dystopian that I don’t know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.

What will happen is that politicians will see this as another reason to push for everyone having their ID associated with their Internet traffic.

You’re right. Which is exactly why companies should be exhibiting better behaviour and self regulate before they make the internet infinitely worse off for everyone.

I think it’s timeless too.

It does concern me that SE might be considering a remaster or remake of this game – mostly because a lot of the important elements of the game might not scale well to a “HD” style. I think a HD2D aesthetic would be the only way to appropriately scale CT up, but even then I would be concerned about the game losing its charm in the transition.

The idea of remaking CS 1.6 in Source is completely backwards to me.

CS 1.6 is kind of liked for the way it “looks” as it is today, most of us who prefer 1.6 would rather they polish up the original game instead of making a sourcified version (arguably uglier) that loses most of the charm the original game had.

I think Valve’s answer to this should be to simply make CS 1.6’s game code open source and allow community members to help fix the very legitimate issues the game currently has ATM (server listing spam, “fake” users in server listings, etc.)

As long as there’s centralization and data brokering, there will always be a capitalization. It’s basically the only logical path forward for a service that isn’t decentralized or running as a charity.

The windows kernel isn’t all that great, particularly in the realm of memory security or scheduling.

You know, to each their own. Question is really whether windows maintaining a closed source kernel even makes sense from a maintenance burden perspective when it really doesn’t give them much money in return. (Most of their money in 2025 comes from cloud services, not operating systems)

Yeah, but we also lose to china by not having child labor. We want to lose battles that are against our morals – that’s what it means to have morals. Besides, it would also be illegal to use chinese ai models in the states that infringe copyright.

I love how copyright isn’t a problem when it’s the little people having it leveraged against them by megacorps.

But now that the little people are leveraging it against the megacorps – oh, I guess copyright was a mistake now. It wasn’t meant to protect the people, it was meant to protect the richest.

Disgraceful. I love the EFF but this is a huge miss. Copyright is the only thing protecting creatives from a corporate driven slop fest, and consumers would be hurt by this too with lower quality higher quantity trash.

Yes, but also their cars are ugly and they were riding high on musk’s cult of personality in the first place.

Rivians are better anyway.

It’s times like these where you’re reminded that Linus is awesome.

Probably. In all honestly, if you are a hexbear user, I’d be keeping a careful eye on who owns the domain when it magically pops back up.

I like the art of this cover – I haven’t read any of it though. Is it any good?

That’s fucked up. Just another AMD L. Long live the rabbit.

Source: A man who owns a Golden Rabbit and will always call it the Golden Rabbit.

I’m going to keep going with the game, I decided; At least a little bit further.

I think it’s at least notable enough as a JRPG partially developed by Ghibli that I should establish at least 10 or so hours. It’s going to be slow but if I change my thoughts on it I’ll update people here.

Yikes

It is sad that they don’t at least have the courage to be honest about their stance: they legitimately thought that trump was better than harris for Gaza and now they have egg on their face. To which I say, enjoy the leopards – they have a thing for egged faces.

This is nearly the plot to Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence. Nearly the keyword, they might get there eventually.

The best path forward is that developers make their linux drivers before they release their hardware to the market. You know, like what they do for windows.

There’s no silver bullet here. You have to wait for someone to reverse engineer the drivers if the developers of the hardware don’t care enough to supply even basic linux driver support. Either that or linux becomes so popular that it becomes senseless to ignore it (let’s be real though, MacOS is popular enough for this to be true and yet there’s still new hardware made that ignores that platform too.)

If there are any germans out there reading this, it’s not to late to enact strong policy. America failed to do so and I fear the repercussions of not taking the threat seriously have only just begun.
