Huh. TIL that italic emoji are a thing.
…I don’t know why that’s surprising to me, since they’re just Unicode, but it is.
It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.
But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”
Connect very slightly cuts off the bottom of the image for me.
I believe the g palatalizes the n, so it’s more like nyok-key.
In fairness, the first iteration of that deal was Pepsi for Stolichnaya.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.
First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.
If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.
This format is especially apropos, as Natalie Portman is one of a handful of actors with an Erdos number.
On the other hand slavery of actual humans is a thing. And at least the first generation of strong AI will effectively be persons whom it is legal to own because our laws are human-centric.
Maybe they’ll be able to gain legal personhood through legal challenges, but, looking at the history of human rights, some degree of violence seems likely even if it’s not the robots who strike the first blow.
I wonder what he actually meant. 1g/kg maybe? That would be 125% of the RDA, which I don’t know if it’s a good idea but it’s certainly more reasonable than…that.
That was actually Unix. Specifically the fsn file manager for IRIX.
There’s a Linux clone called fsv.
He’s pining for the fjords.
One such possibility is that you can only travel to times where the device you’re using to do so exists.
More like a time gate than an H.G. Wells-style machine, but still a workable model.
It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it’s just hidden in the cost of the device.
