Quake 2 has been GPL and had Linux versions since forever, even official ones from id.

I assume this remaster uses the same engine. Maybe they used stuff from contributors/forks, that’s why they kept it open.

u/spez didn’t like that.

I’ve always been wondering to what degree are logs accurate, or rather believable as presented.

Such as when it comes to affiliate marketing, or ads. How can I, as a customer, know the numbers Amazon or Google about how many people used my link / seen my ad, aren’t full of shit?

Meta: We’re launching it now with no ads or plans, then we’ll figure out what to do once we hit a billion users

People: Ooh but Meta may not be all bad, let’s just wait and see!

I mean, Meta is totally freely admitting they’re just playing the good guy now and will hit hard once they gain monopoly and can do whatever the fuck they want. How much more clear does it have to get?

There are things were wastefulness is warranted, like storage redundancy. If one wants data to survive, then it has to be distributed all around the planet.

But the hardware - primarily CPU and power requirement of modern computing is absolutely insane. How can a modern box with all the latest hardware feel not just slower, but so much slower than a PC from 1993, or an 8-bit from the 80’s while using many times more power and space?

Not to mention all the technology and resources required to design and build the thing.

While honestly almost everything can be achieved with power of a Pi or an old Android phone, if only the software is optimized.

And then all the ewaste from making everything disposable and irreparable. Wild.

Christopher “buying a Jumbo to crash it because I don’t like CGI” Nolan was lying to us!

This is shitty movie details.

I personally use “com” and hope it catches on.
