There are several legit reasons why you’d do this. Unit tests, for example: override getRandom() with an implementation that always returns the same series of numbers, and now you have repeatable tests without touching the production code.

IIRC It was newsmaxx or some other propaganda outlet.

I’ve seen one today: “Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn’t work!”. Dude, he wasn’t mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn’t the problem here…

Exactly. Mamdani came prepared, and Trump was caught off guard by how nice and eloquent the dangerous communist was.

At the time rumor was that the Benioff and Weiss were already working on their next show (3-body problem?), and just wanted to get GoT out of the way.

I hope they are wealthy enough to just move and leave a nice spite house right in the middle of his Xavier’s school for psychopathic children.

Many people love AI, I have a lot of acquaintances who actively seek out the best “AI browser” whatever that means. It makes sense for mozilla not to fall out this bandwagon just yet.

As the dude from this picture, let me tell you that piracy was reeeally different 30 years ago (more like 25 for me). We were years away from DSL, downloading a piss-poor CAM rip of Star Wars ep1 took hours. Then you’d invest in a CD burner and exchange movies with your friends.

When I cancelled my subscriptions a year ago, I found out about Jellyfin and the *arr stack, took a couple of hours to set them up, and now I can download a whole show in a couple of taps while my friend is telling me about it, and watch it on my TV in 4K, or on my phone in the subway like 15 minutes later.

Sure, the underlying methods of acquisition haven’t changed much since BitTorrent came out, but the ecosystem is on a whole other level.

Doesn’t work for le lave-linge though.

BIG fux

Proton is WINE, it’s a fork maintained by Valve and Codeweaver with DXVK (Direct X -> Vulkan) on top. If you use Steam for gaming it will set up proton automatically for you.

And yes macOS is a step up from Windows, but it’s still a walled garden. Want to develop an iOS app? You must buy a Mac, you must buy a developer license, you must use the worst IDE ever created, and you must distribute it through the app store (except in Europe in theory, but they worked hard to make the experience so miserable that almost no one bothers).

If that wasn’t bad enough, his treatment of them after being granted control of the region was so abhorrent that the Spanish crown, itself hardly a bastion of humane treatment and sentiment, stripped him of his position on grounds of cruelty.

My understanding is that he was stripped of his position because of what he did to his European subjects and because his rival wanted to take his place, and that hardly anyone back in Europe gave a shit about his abuse of native people. Is that not correct?

French schools too. In 1992 Columbus was a huge deal, we spent a lot of time staging a play about his first voyage, and he was of course depicted as a righteous hero. I was just a lowly soldier, in hindsight I’m glad they didn’t make us reenact the actual events, shit would’ve scarred me for life…

It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.

Everything after has been a crappy cover.

Even Eliott Smith’s version?

Yeah, the issue is not “Microsoft’s usage of the XML format”. The issue is that they blatantly bought their format’s standardization, and then intentionally released an implementation that substantially deviated from the specs, making sure that MSO was the only “compatible” implementation.

Your save files carry over through the three games which was unique at the time

Still pretty unique, isn’t it? I remembered this feature a couple days ago, and couldn’t think of another example.

Well that’s the point isn’t it

I’m convinced that Trump is a child rapist, but this picture isn’t the smoking gun. They’re in a NYC restaurant and the kids are his own, Ivanka and Eric maybe.

Same, the best one was the dude who created an account with my email but his own phone number. So I text him to try and scare him with the fact that some random dude got hold of his private info. He was unfazed and replied “my nephew set it up for me, guess we’ve got the same email address”…
