I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, but it is a movie based on a doll (almost like the ultimate commercial). It’s been done before (transformers) but it feels a little wierd this time.

I worked in a place that had separate networks. The one with internet didn’t have our projects on it. It was kinda a pain to not have internet to look stuff up, but it was ada or c++ and we had books…

I think it makes it worse. There is only so much it can index. I was searching a municipal website that had a bunch of pdfs. Instead of downloading them I'll I figured I'd sure the "site:__" to look through them. It did

Fun game. I played it a bit on PlayStation. The one game I played again in emulation after ripping the disc onto my pc. It’s weird to learn later that it’s basically a clone of crazy taxi. Though I remember everything going “Halloween” in

Our Mastodon instance had a poll about what to do. I don't see this as a huge deal. Those of use old enough remember the drama when AOL users were set free on the internet, with email and web access...

Its the choose the number that make things look worse. If the article stated it increased €43 Euros a year, it doesn't sound as bad. Its still a large increase, but not as jaw dropping as the % makes it seem.

Single threaded kind of makes sense for machines with single core CPUs. And multiplayer was usually limited because internet wasn’t that good typically being dialup. Games required more cutting edge machines (maybe 2 years old) I remember
