That’s a sell cue, for any shareholders reading along.

Yep.

I’m a die hard Linux nerd, but I would still Rather have a console.

But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux so I can keep it updated and fix minor issues without all the bullshit.

Just gotta pause faster!

Oh. This is seriously cool. Thank you.

Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.

AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.

The screenshots sell it well. That’s some funny stuff. I’ll check out the demo.

But what if someone else’s government creates the Torment Nexus before ours can?!

Yes, a degrading phone case can do that.

I’m enjoying the screenshot series. Thank you!

The arbitrary standard for the censorship in Fediverse is extremely bad.

“The pirates code… Be more like… guidelines.”

9. Don’t truncate passwords for verification.

It needed to be said. Because some password system architects have been just that stupid.

Edit: Fear of other’s stupidity is the mind killer. I will face my fear. My fear will wash over me, and when it has passed, only I will remain. Or I’ll be dead in a car accident caused by an AI driver.

Putting it on eBay for full price is a dick move.

Agreed. That’s just fraud.

I’m also in the “I don’t care” camp.

A lot of us just want a piece of nostalgia that the big companies choose not to produce.

If it looks close enough that it inspires my happy nostalgia, and it plays fine in my console, that’s what I’m happy to pay for.

If the license holders are still selling the game, I’m happy to buy from them. If not, I’m happy to buy from someone else producing reasonable facsimilies (of abandonware games).

I get how someone could be upset if they thought they were getting the real thing.

I haven’t, personally, felt misled by makers of abandonware facimilies.

I can’t wait to try a translation of the best rhythm timing cooperative levels I have ever experienced into a format where my friend Tim can dither about what meeple to move next because he left to grab more chips while the instructions were being read.

This isn’t a complaint about Rayman getting a board game, or about board games in general. This is about Tim.

Google’s antitrust drama is just a popcorn side show to me.

A sideshow we’re both paying for, though. Ugh.

But you’ve got the right track. I can’t personally fix their monopoly, but I can block their bullshit from teaching my devices.

Yeah. I love their games and liked their hardware, but I just can’t morally justify sending money into Nintendo anymore.

Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.

The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.

Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.

Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.

History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.

It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.

Gee. The police are still protecting us by smashing fun things

Edit: Since I don’t in any way routinely buy from these guys, there’s no way I can possibly let y’all know later, when the supply is in no noticable way diminished by this.
