Omg, I love the way this was handled. Impressive and well thought out.

Not a new problem. Powerful people and groups always have an interest in controlling narratives. They have also made effort to do so, and they always will.

It’s cool, but it needs Mr. Lee’s Greater Hong Kong, among many others mentioned here.

Printers are directly descended from Satan himself. Edit: and printing is the one part of the tech world that really is worse than it used to be. Most of the time, it’s just rose colored glasses that make us think things are worse. Computer

I’ve used em all. I hate Windows. MacOS is “fine”, and Linux can be great. The issues with Linux are on edge cases, just like macOS. They’re just in different places, imho.

MoltenVK exists so that would take of Vulkan. Rosetta2 is super efficient, so I don’t see that as an impediment. The truth is, I don’t think Valve cares much about Macintosh. Blizzard doesn’t lately either. Oddly, the trend lines here are w

In an inflationary environment, prices exceed the ability of people to pay and dollar velocity falls which puts downward pressure on prices. At least that sometimes happens. Other times, governments, banks, megacorps and other institutions

Yeah, VisiCalc + Apple ][ was the real revolution. It gave non-hobbyists a reason to buy a computer. VisiCalc sold Apple ][s and pushed most of the Apple ][s into businesses which surprised the Steves quite a bit. The next big moment for mi

I had the exact same questions running through my mind. The wording is so ambiguous that I am afraid to do anything with it.

Not just that. My dad bought a car, paid for an apartment, and paid for college in cash while working near minimum wage… today?

This is the way. Win32 is now, more or less, the Linux software development api via WINE. Nothing else is stable in the sense of not-constantly-changing.

I am not a psychological professional, and I should keep my mouth shut, but I don’t believe this is terribly unique to the tech sector. I think this is more closely linked to institutionalized people. That is, people who spent long amounts

This would mean massive deforestation to heat and build with wood. That means much more carbon than most people currently produce with less land taking it in. Burning wood ain’t the answer. Also, 1800s was the era where coal became availabl

Well, if that’s an accurate measure of sea level rise, then ocean salinity would drop significantly and cool the planet very rapidly, and by quite a bit. Not sure what outcome of that would be, but dramatic sudden cooling would likely devas

My son and I play co-op vs computer opponents. I offer to 1v1 but he always says no.

Civ6 is the one for me and my son. It’s a ton of fun, and his social studies grades have improved quite a bit. I knew I’d successfully infected him with “one more turn syndrome” when I caught him up at 3AM on a school night solo’ing one of

The tutorial system helps. Civ6 with expansions gets equally if not more complex. There’s def a learning curve involved. I think the complexity really comes from have more “systems” within the game to take into consideration. The good thing

I have Factorio on Steam, but I have yet to give it more than a cursory play. What is the draw for you (if you don’t mind elaborating)?

Civ6 took some time for me to get into. Changes to perspective and building bothered me quite a bit at first. Once I got the hang of the new systems, I didn’t mind those changes but the game felt shallower until the expansions started comin
