Personally, I respect the ACLU's freedom to not collaborate with fascists.

Civil liberties get trampled every day without adequate legal representation. I don't see how the ACLU no longer going out of their way to defend human scum is such a big blow.

I dunno, I'm holding one in my hands right now and it is a pretty solid li'l device with a cute plastic exterior and a unique input scheme. You do realize that the crank isn't for charging it, right? It comes with a color-mat

In the case of the former, caning is a widely used form of corporal punishment. That is extremely conservative and not something we should re-create in the US.

Wow, that is shortsighted. The Playdate development community has cultivated a sense of art and exploration in gamedev from AAA to indie devs that I haven't seen in a long time! (Or at least since the PICO--8.)

It would help if they weren't being sandbagged by the SFPD.

My guess is it is because that is the era when BK really leaned into the McDonalds sized chip on their shoulder. So, kinda like the petty thrills that the "console wars" had.

Neither of those are side shows.

This is a very good point. At my workplace we haven't had a 2->3 level project event, but our discussions _are_ always shaped and influenced by not only how previous agreements have worked in practice, but also how previous discussi

"no work = no food" sounds like the more productive link in the chain to break.

I'm on a team that implemented a hybrid tag-based release system on a monorepo and it is working well. External releases are built on release branches off of main with their own git tag rules, but I want to touch on internal releases o

Good. The invisible hand if the market will cull the companies too weak to provide living wages.

Because those H1B requirements are pro-forma and the visa itself gives the company access to another easily controlled and underpaid immigrant to drive down wages.

To continue a theme here, Boxee's software originated as a fork of XBMC.

Objectively someone has a subjective opinion...

That is a really cool idea! It doesn't sound like it is a major factor in your use case, but Kodi is one of the few players that not only can play directly from ISOs either compressed or uncompressed.

My favorite moment of project synergy was back when Kodi was called XBMC, it ran on the original Xbox, and it could be used as an alternate Xbox dashboard in addition to being a media library/player. One of the extensions it added was

You can mix-and-match too! Plex puts out an official Kodi plugin: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-for-kodi .

Agreed, but as one of those OGs the "real" OGs are the ones that ran it on the original Xbox when it was called XBMP.

The emulation scene is more extra than I can handle atm, so I'll focus more on the XBMC Foundation: What more can they do? They make a legal product with plenty of legal and licensed uses and they did their due diligence to prevent pir

- Plex is a closed source fork-and-re-write of an MacOS XBMC port that was codenamed OSXBMC. - Jellyfin is a fork of Emby at the version before it went closed source. - Emby was an open-source re-implementation of Plex. - Genealogy is weird

There was at least one complete rewrite since the OSXBMC devs days.

Modding my XBOX using a chip my friend was forced to sell me because it got his dad banned from XBOX Live was the best thing that ever happened to me. The first SCMs I ever learned were CVS and SVN in order to mildly tweak and compile my fi
