That... that's definitely something. I get the feeling the CS rep did not consult IT before making that request.

Is there any evidence of Biden doing or agreeing to do something in exchange for money?

As far as anyone seems to be able to actually tell, no. Lots of screeching it exists followed by a completely unsurprising lack of actually producing it.

You do occasionally see them praising sharia law (or at least its implementation, if not when it's referred to by that exact term, ha) or whatev', though.

Like, they want to glass every muslim country on the planet, but they're envious of some of the theocratic policy or practices seen in some of them. So some degree of envy, yes, it's just envy that's part of a generally genocidal sentiment, so...

Best of luck to 'em, heh. Quick check says they're fighting for shit like just two goddamn weeks of parental leave (of which, so far, of the three companies involved only bloody ford has offered), nevermind everything else.

Playing a pokemon fangame (infinite fusion) and... it made the Bill encounter so, so much darker.

See, the basic premise of the game is you can fuse pokemon into all kinds of horrific abominations, but part of the basic conceit? You can split fused pokemon, and the component 'mon are, to all appearances, fine.

Unlike the base game, where Bill just transforms into a pokemon and comes back, in this one... he fuses with one. And when you un-fuse him? The pokemon he fused with is nowhere to be seen.

The implication that the dude basically just murdered a pokemon in the name of mad science is pretty stark. The general premise of the series is pretty sketchy and involves a lot of questionable consent of sophonts, but it usually kinda' dances around things, y'know? Not this time. Rhydon being used as an experimental subject is just frikkin' gone.

Oh no, copyprotection is surprisingly effective. I tried to digitalise all my cds once, the cds from magazine no problems but original cd/dvd? No shot. Yeah maybe the adequate software is a sensitive topic, maybe search engine optimised off the map by bullshit... In any case I was not able to creat ISO of even really old games, like commandos or deus ex. It's not aomething easy to do nor is there an abundance of info.


I think the solution would not be half bad, sadly disks are dead, so I'll sooner see them introduce a new savemedium for DRM than have disks make a comeback.

Maybe it's harder nowadays? Back when I actually bothered with it (and, like, had a CD drive, ha), it was pretty trivial with multiple sorts of software. Everything I'm aware of regarding the emulation scene indicates it's still not that difficult to rip an ISO, ehehe.

Though so far as new mediums are concerned... it's possible to lock down a flash drive so you can't copy to or from it trivially, from what I understand. If they wanted to go with a USB compatible medium, there's probably something in that direction that could be ran with.

Folks seem weirdly unwilling to just package stuff on a USB for sale or whatever, though. Like, sure, they're a bit more expensive than a disk or pushing it online, but not hugely? I keep expecting to see them utilized as something other than personal/workplace data transfer but it just doesn't happen much.

Godot engine would like a word!

It's weird, the last thing I remember seeing about Godot is the devs of it saying it was a terrible engine that shouldn't be used, or something along those lines.

That said, Path of Achra's made on it, so it's got to have something going for it. PoA's rad as hell.

... frickin' hell, I could have swore gates died like half a decade ago or something. Apparently not. I guess he's been kinda' quiet the last few years?

But yeah, nothing sensible would come out of those three trying to regulate... well, I'd say AI, but you'd probably be more accurate going with "anything". Gates might manage the least terrible of the three, but least terrible isn't not terrible. M$ man, genocide enabler, and somehow the worst of the three, drugged-up-asshole-going-through-midlife-crisis sitting in a room isn't going to accomplish anything productive.
