Reverse Pandora’s Box

Exploding a data center is a bit beyond my capabilities, mostly because I live over 500km away from any 😅

First, lots of barbequeue. Second, become landlord.

That’s what I call a pro player move

Lucky. My mom would just ask me to install M$Office 2013 instead

I fully expect all of these to be rickrolls

Sony was always an asshole company

PSA

Subscriptions: not even once

They’ll do it if they can manage to make it impossible to use any adapter. PSVita used those tiny memory sticks because fuck you for wanting standardized storage solutions

I have that, I should probably play it sometime

For many, it’s the equivalent of dealing with smokers in the 70s and 80s, you cannot escape football and the world cup. In a neighborhood I used to live (Brazil), half my neighbors would play up really fucking loud music, the kind that shakes your windows, as commemoration after a world cup victory

Nothing new in human behavior. The Nika Riots is one of the deadliest to have happened in Constantinople because of a chariot race.

The company’s reason is “brand protection”:

We carefully reviewed the project you shared with us (https://github.com/linuxwacom/wacom-hid-descriptors). While we appreciate the initiative, we found that this is primarily a Wacom-led project, and the potential impact for GAOMON would be quite limited. Even if we added support for our devices, the system would still show the device as a GAOMON model, but the overall setup would display Wacom branding. More importantly, participating would require sharing our device specifications directly with Wacom – which is not something we can consider.

The last part of that reply is very wrong.

The article also has a reply from Peter Hutterer, a “senior software engineer at Red Hat and a maintainer of Linux’s core input device handling infrastructure since decades”, which is worth reading.

I remember when it was a UT3 mod

Glasses. Not for me, but to show the Romans that some that can’t see shit that magic glass can make them see better. Either that or a magnifying glass, so it can double as a fun trick of sunlight burning, which, hopefully, can teach them to make concave/convex glasses for people.

A sewing machine. It’s electric, but by opening it up and trying to replicate the pattern manually, those old, fully manual ones could be built.

A world atlas. Maps weren’t exactly common and, for most of human history, unreliable, so having something like that would be extremely valuable, even if it lacked some info like terrain elevation or type of environment.

As a separate comment: Iji

Freeware game and an awesome gem. Great soundtrack, too

Elder Scrolls Skyrim, really niche indie game. Just kidding!

Nikoderiko - really fun platformer that’s kind of a mix of Donkey Kong and Crash. Currently on sale on gog (linked) and steam

I saw that Yellow Taxi some time ago and loved the retro 3D aesthethics

Even ignoring computer technology, which took a light-year leap from 1986-2006 compared to 2006-2026, the fall of the Soviet Union in late 1991 was a massive upheaval and the following years had several countries having to readapt.

Nothing of such scale has happened in the last 2 decades, though the current decay of the USA is an event of its own.

How I feel knowing that, just by virtue of having a STEM bachelors and a bunch of cloud certs, I am way ahead of my competition in getting laid off and denied jobs for being “overqualified”
