Love that. Pure genius.
3….2….!
Yeah, that’s gotta happen right.
Ideas are nice but successful execution is far more important.
That is something that MANY people don't think about or downplay. It's not enough to be right or to have the right idea. You also have to put in the work, put in the follow through, and add a bit of luck too.
Or an Analogue Pocket for $220, when they are available for sale, that can also be docked or play other machines' games like the Game Gear or TG16, or even hacked to run ROMs off the SD card.
This Verge article https://archive.is/f442r goes into some detail and compares with Analogue Pocket. I've never used one.
I did just preorder one of these Chromatic things.
I personally think whenever you're talking about anything personal, "power levelling" as they call it on the farms, you should be as vague as possible, leave out ANY details that are potentially identifying, and probably toss in some misdirection for good measure. Over years of posting these little clues add up.
Probably not a big deal, but be careful with self-doxing... You never know what kind of crazy person may try to track you down or figure out who you are.
It's not really a good look for new people trying to visit
As opposed to the existing posters, many of whom many to slip a "nigger" or "kike" (or both) into just about every post? I think the net number of posters is going down, not up.
I do think there's a very good chance that the pedo posters are organized or feds or astroturfers, though this contradicts my earlier post. Everybody hates pedos. Even the people who don't get turned off by the naughty racial words are going to get turned off by the pedo agecuck talk.
I'm not in the anti-Dom as some sort of controlled opposition camp, but we do need faster action.
We're in a lose lose spiral I'm afraid.
Honestly, if people just ignored them completely and clicked the block button—no clapbacks, no insults, no response at all, they would probably get bored sooner rather than later.
I'm sure that's true. And Jens should be acknowledged too.
But Notch is the creator. This kind of newspeak reaks to me of Obama's "You didn't build that."
I went back through old emails. I paid 9.95 euros via Paypal to Mojang in August 2010 for my Minecraft "premium" account. My kids, who didn't exist then, are still using that account (now transitioned to Microsoft) today. Wild. Probably the best $10 I've ever spent.
I love the bland food thing, considering Europeans are 100% responsible for spreading chili peppers around the entire world.
Arabs who are obsessed with Shakshuka being Arab rather than Israeli? Nope! Tomatos and chiles were brought to the Mediterranean, probably first by the Portuguese to the Ottoman Empire where they were fancy court foods for the Sultans, and then trickled down. Your "muh shakhshuka" has existed for maybe 150 years.
Vindaloo in India, known as one of the hottest Indian foods? Oh, well, Vindaloo comes from the Portuguese Vinha d'alhos. Wine and garlic. Indians and Portuguese in Goa took a Portuguese recipe, ingredients like chili peppers brought by Europeans, and adapted into local cuisine.
Tempura in Japan? Portuguese.
African Piri Piri chicken? Same thing again.
Notch is "one of the creative minds behind Minecraft."
That's an interesting way of saying creator.
It's very much an Islamic position that Islam has ALWAYS existed. There is a concept called the Um al-Kitab -- The Mother Book -- which is kind of like underlying truth of the universe, and the the Qur'an, The Bible, etc., reveals bits and pieces of the truth. The Qur'an is like a window to "the real." The um al-Kitab always has been, and always will be, and anyone mentioned in the Qur'an as a prophet or follower of God is part of that same tradition. Islam and Muhammad are the FINAL prophet and the FINAL revelation of this truth.
The Bible and Torah are included in these revelations, but they are partial, inferior, clouded, corrupted, compared to Islam.
It's completely Islam trying to appropriate other religious traditions' histories.
Cool! I haven't played around with running any local models. I have a 4080 but only 16gb of system ram. How limiting is the system ram?
Small world. I know a family friend who is starting there in the fall. Good kid and good family.
I assume that if you grow up anywhere in conservative or Mormon Western part of the country and go gay, that you move to Salt Lake City. Makes sense from the perspective that most small towns have a microscopic gay population compared to a large city like Salt Lake.
If gay males are 1% of the population, and you live in a small town of 5,000, that's maybe 25 people.
I do think large urban cities particularly promote grooming and that shit, however.
My daughter chose to go to a Lutheran college. It had a professor who claimed Jesus was Muslim. Fortunately my daughter turned out OK and is now a stay at home mom.
I've not been impressed by Lutherans..
Also, Jesus is Muslim what? It IS a teaching of the Qur'an that Jesus was a prophet, the last prophet before Muhammad, and that he was born of a virgin, he was the Messiah, and he is one of the most important prophets. Islam does not acknowledge the crucifixion and resurrection. Ridiculous statement to say that "Jesus was a Muslim."
Salt Lake City is one of the gayest cities in the country.
He was religious, I don't know if he still is.
He was conservative, I doubt he still is.
He made some comments years ago about gay marriage, then got "educated" by the usual crybullies. Since then he has added gay characters to his books, etc. Too bad. Still a great author.
I thought the writer was white?
Side question. Every single half-Asian half-white woman I know IRL is very large. What's up with that? I'm thinking of at least 5 people I personally know.
I'm not in favor of removing Dom, but I DO think we could use at least a 2nd mod who can go through and remove the clearly and uncontroversially spam/junk/troll comments and ban the users.
I am in favor of keeping R16 solely for the reason that without it, the terminally online obsessive posters will be even worse about changing every single topic to be about (((noticing))) and this board will lose its entire reason for existing.
Correction to “actual systemic racism throughout the southeast”. Government sponsored and supported racism was all over. The cities of the northeast and midwest REMAIN far more segregated than most southern cities.
No, it is a technical argument. Technically, the kernel design, UNIX and NextStep userland, and in more recent years, hardware design, has made malware, trojans, and viruses much harder to implement. There have been a vanishingly small number of even tech demonstrations ever released.
Heck OS9 have more viruses than OSX/macOS has had.
If I were a blackhat hacker, I would want to target the wealthy users. Macs are about 1/3 of all desktop/laptop computers in the US. iPhones even higher.
You can’t just hand wave this away.
(And I have done the Hackintosh thing and the OCLP thing and the boot Linux thing over the years)
