Right but if you’re trying to score political points and ensure you can bend a open source project to your will, you do.

Not saying they’re right for doing it but it’s not so outside the realm of possibility that we should say “who does that?”

I’m sure you’re aware that businesses, especially with donations of that size, might engage in emailing contacts prior to donating…

Here’s $100 but you have to spend it on materials for research, not executive salaries. It’s called a restricted donation. You may hear that colleges and universities have million dollar endowments but still send out fundraising emails. This is because you might get a $200k donation from an alumni that is only to be used on tuition for student athletes and, yeah, you take that money because that means $200k that you don’t need to spend there… But that you can only spend there.

So you’ve got to keep that money around unless you use it for those things.

All grants come with strings. You can go to grants.gov and click on hundreds of them.

Yeah, my thought exactly, I doubt Wawa has a fancy term for it but it’s better than all your staff coming in or calling on Thursday to see if next week’s schedule is posted.

I had someone say “Well, yours doesn’t do ads” and, in the year of 5 manufacturers pumping out 10 different SKUs a year, we had the same model phone.

I said “Yours doesn’t have to, if you set it up that way.”

The answer? “Well, c’mon, play the video.”

Like, yeah, let’s just brush past the… What? Five or six tap solution? And before anyone asks, not a romantic opening. Generally people don’t make passes at bridge trolls who evangelize for open source software.

Just use Firefox Mobile to watch YouTube.

Ad blocking through uBO and can enable playing with locked screen.

It’s like, I have a 13" laptop, a 15" inch one, and two monitors at my desk with a dock… But so the my director… Actually, he doesn’t have the 13" one! Am I actually the director?

It’s weird but they are all different. I’ve never had an issue where I see an Xbox X and hit the PS X. Normally if a game wants X(PS Flavour) the X itself is blue, potentially with a black circle around it. If a game shows you an X(Xbox Flavour) it shows a blue circle with a different blue X inside. Nintendo generally just shows a top button glyph or if they do show the X it’s usually monochrome, except for Americana flavoured SNES which was just top purple and since GC had the vertical kidney bean X… Well, Nintendo only recently became a problem I suppose.

So, basically, the in-game glyphs do differentiate themselves.

Yep, edited for clarity. I’m not trying to play all of them every day but when I don’t feel like reading or thinking, I can pick up Boltgun or NFS for 30 minutes and have fun but when I’ve got the time and patience, I can hop into the bigger games.

Paper Mario and the Origami King - Partner picked up the game around launch, played up to the final boss, put it down for a few months, came back and restarted their save. Infuriating but whatever. Then, they dropped it after playing for a few days.

Finally, in need of a ‘simple’ RPG to balance out the rest of my in progress games right now (Yakuza 4, W40K Boltgun, NFS Unbound) I picked it up and am about 30% through, so I’ll probably play a bit more of that.

Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they’ll just appoint a new one… Unless you’re suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands…

That’s Postal 2 - I think an early day of the week like day 2. Having to go to the mall and wait in line.

I trust my family. Trust them enough that they have the passcode to my phone and can easily open it at any time.

But I’m not sharing location. How will I sneak out to buy gifts if they get a notification when I leave work? Nope.

I consider myself to be ‘techie’ for lack of a better word. I have custom janky solutions for everything. I have in the past written down a blue screen and troubleshooted it to give the IT team notes… Hell, I used to be the guy IT would call if they received a ticket from my office (anyone in my office) because I could give them more details and such… So, I like computers and shit, right?

And holy fuck I don’t get the Linux world. I used Mint back in '13ish and it was fine but in a different place back then. I use Pop_OS! on my laptop and I like it just fine. I use Ubuntu on my secondary computer and I like it just fine. I don’t get what I’m supposed to prefer about all these different distros/environments. I can’t wrap my head around it. Do y’all change OSes that often? Am I missing out on something? Am I wrong or are y’all the kids who are wrong?

You can plug pretty much any webcam into the Switch as well.

I don’t agree with their desire to lock things down but this probably wasn’t totally a case of that.

Hey, dude, just be older like me. How are you going to remember screwing your Atari into the antenna ports on the back of the TV if you weren’t alive for that?

Well, on top of that the Switch 2 Cartridges come in one size, 64GB, and it’s allegedly something like $14 USD per cart.

If your game is 20GB in size, why would you want to eat up that much of your profits on top of Nintendo’s cut?

It’s a tough choice to make. I won’t support ‘Game Key Cards’ because that’s stupid but I like to buy physical games because if I’m going to buy digital it’ll be on PC.

You plug the card in, the data has degraded to the point of unusability, and the game doesn’t function anymore.

From my reading of the article, that was a hypothetical. Not to say it hasn’t happened multiple times but I’m pretty sure that “may” was doing some heavy lifting.

Hell yeah. Always good to hear.

That said, I need a PSOne ODE. My stack of PS1s still run fine.
