I'd be fine with this, even totally on-board, if C weren't so awful with respect to text. You don't even have to worry too much about free()ing your malloc()s if you design around short-lived processes. But this is just askin

I have no idea what's on Apple Arcade, but on Play Pass I've been playing the Kingdom Rush games, the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, and a tonne of critically-acclaimed indie titles.

I used to hold the same opinion as you, and for the most part I still do. But I think the subscription model is a solution to the race to the bottom, because it creates an artificial level of quality assurance. Take PlayPass, for instance:

You know that ever growing library of unplayed games that all steam users have? Game Pass is that, but instead of paying for games individually you pay a low fixed rate, and it includes many hot new releases that are still full price elsewh

Volunteers were able to acquire them early on, then they had the give-1-get-1 programme, and now many are just sitting on Ebay. I bought both of mine for around 200 CAD.

I have two; a friend of mine had one. We both threw Debian on them and relished in the glorious Pixel Qi display and the nigh-indestructible nature of them. Great for backpacking and road trips in dirty areas, at a then-unbeatable price.

I have the first EeePC, still working and with a replaced battery. It makes for an adorable little ssh terminal.

I just took a look at the complaint, and looks like I was wrong! They claimed such things were copied, and so I assumed an actual ripping; as that's common. But in the complaint it appears that they mean a more traditional copying by r

They're alleging art and other asset rips, which is very different from copying gameplay or themes.

by dleslie 5y ago
Yes, sorry.

by dleslie 5y ago
It's sort of commonly accepted in the Game Industry that there exists an insurmountable proliferation of asset rips on mobile stores, and that there is an apparent total acceptance and tolerance of them by Google and Apple. So I'm

What matters, I find, is how you answer two questions: 1. Are you buying for future need and enjoyment, or is the act of buying the enjoyment you crave? 2. Are those things in storage realistically going to see any use in the next year, or

I used to binge classic scifi and documentaries on Netflix, and then one day it seemed like both parts of the catalogue were reduced to a small fraction of what they were. I'll unsub once my kids grow tired of their (mostly awful) cart

You need to update the root certs, which is generally possible with most BB devices.

There was a short-lived fork _years_ ago that used the Linux kernel instead of Haiku's kernel. I don't even think the fork was made publicly available due to the community backlash.

What does "de-identified" mean, precisely? Does it simply remove the legal name but retain the uniqueness? Ie, can they tell that one person traveled from Victoria, to Vancouver, to the Wetsuweten territory; but not know who, spec
