Interesting article from 2018. I loved the Police Quest games of the Sonny Bonds era. I was maybe 12 or 13 when this one came out, and I could tell it was shit I didn’t want.

This is a great write up and analysis. It does make me wonder why there are big names associating themselves with this when it seems to really be a big mess under all the cool colors not to say anything of the garbage that comes out of the developer himself.

But maybe it all speaks to a way to improve upon and move past Omarchy. There is clearly a group of people that want to use or at least try Arch and Linux in general, but don’t really know how. Providing a highly configured Arch setup, that looks cool, actually delivers on security, that is created by people that understand systems, that still allows for the freedom of choice that Linux provides, and that aren’t developed by a scumbag could be a big hit.

Use Qobuz instead. Or buy music on physical media. Or steal it.

Oh this game. It is something else. I was enthralled. One of the all time greats. Looking forward to reading this piece!

I cannot understand why Nirav, the head of the company, would weigh in here instead of having the PR/Marketing team of or someone come up with an answer for this. Made it so much worse and I have such a bad feeling about them now.

Maybe some Ben Franklin will help them “It takes many good deeds to build a reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” “Never ruin an apology with an excuse.”

Oh thanks I didn’t see this about the rebrand.

How do I block an instance?

I have never heard of pudding cookies before and I love both pudding and cookies. Do I dare click that link and alter my waist line forever?

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Right? I thought that was odd, too.

Are you pricing it as supplied by Framework or the DIY where you can bring your own separately purchased RAM and storage? That could bring the price down. And you can start small and grow it later. And repair it if things go wrong. If you really want a Linux laptop I think DIY framework is the best option you’re going to get at the moment due to the repairability and sustainability. I think the trackpad is perfectly fine. I use headphones on a laptop so I barely remember what the speakers sound like. Or just stick with Apple if you prioritize hardware feel. That’s perfectly valid.

I love my 13". Does exactly what I need. I kind of want the 12", but I don’t really need it. So i’m going to hold off.

Oatmeal. Lentils. Beans and rice. Pasta.

A few posts down in my feed is a photo of children zip tied in immigration court and it is fucking disgusting. There would be other problems in a Harris admin. But maybe we wouldn’t zip tie little kids.

That’s not really what the sub is about though. It’s not about satire. It is about things that seem like they would be satire but are in fact real. There is a lot of republican politicians on here because they fit the brief pretty well.

What a pleasant surprise to find this on lemmy! Excellent write up as always.

Used to be the best in the world.
