It doesn’t go without saying. I disagree about physical media. It’s one of the few ways to guarantee you actually own the thing you bought. People still buy brand new vinyl.

Technology rarely disappears completely, but it does usually fades into hobbyist and collector territory.

To answer the question, I don’t think SMS will be around much longer. It has many problems and is already being replaced by many different standards that are better in every way.

This author was definitely craving coffee while writing this.

Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.

Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉

Hold off on this one if you use the official docker container.

The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.

Are they going to make it free? Because paywalling NASA missions is scummy.

I just read a bit about it on their website, and I don’t understand why it needs to have anything to do with cryptocurrency…?

This is the correct answer. The last step in shutting down servers should be to release a server binary for people to continue using.

Source code would be even better, but we’ll take what we can get. I imagine a lot of code might be re-used for later games, so they may not be keen on open-sourcing it.

Here’s hoping anticheat goes with them.

I think you should evaluate why people don’t want to entertain these topics.

Even if the answer is “bias”, it’s worth looking into the nature of that bias to find out why people think that way.

However, I’ll save you a bit of time: most of these “topics” are based on a false premise. They are strawman arguments which indicate a misunderstanding of a particular argument/viewpoint. This makes any conversation a non-starter, which is why I suggest forming a more complete understanding of other arguments.

#1 is more ascii art than an emoji, but that could be a cool thing to integrate into a picker—customizable ascii text that you can search by keyword.

Why go to a website at all? Emoji pickers should be integrated into the OS I’m pretty sure both Windows and KDE plasma do this natively.

It’s kind of ridiculous that any skill is gendered.

Yes! I so badly want this game to get the same remaster treatment that AoE II got, but as is the case with most licensed games, the IP will probably keep it from ever being updated again.

Y’all only have 1 comma in your AWS bills?

I have one child, and I love her so much. I’m very happy we decided to have a child.

However, I’m content with just one child. Even in an ideal situation, raising a healthy child is hard work. It’s extremely rewarding, but the responsibility of shaping another human’s formative experiences shouldn’t be taken lightly.

As the comments on this post (and birth rate statistics) repeatedly hammer home, the state of the world is extremely hostile to having children right now, especially financially.

What the doomers fail to address, is that raising a child provides a unique opportunity to inject the very values we need to fix the world’s issues into the next generation. If you really want kids, it will be one of the hardest, yet rewarding lifestyle changes of your life. If someone is on the fence, it might be better to abstain, but only they can make that decision.

How anyone still trusts that company with literally anything is astounding.

Do people really say this? I’ve literally never had to manually install drivers on Linux. Almost everything is built in to the kernel except NVIDIA drivers, which every distribution I’ve used has an option for in the installer.

Meanwhile, I’ve frequently had to go to a website to download and install drivers on Windows. And then it’s a dice roll if that “driver” trojans an entire suite of bloatware onto your machine.
