It ““worked”” in France

It still kills most of the userbase when they do it

Normal people don’t know what a fucking dns is

You end up with 10 more new sites and a drop in quality and an endless game of cat & mouse

Watch out OP, big funny appreciator over here found your post sub par

I’d say it’s a non sequitur

Which is better in what way exactly?

You mean does the 80s-based protocol that doesn’t even support encryption support voice?

It doesn’t support having messages received while you were offline

IRC supports one and one thing only: N-wise chats to connected clients. That and delusional nerds who like to think they’re better than everyone else. Huge support for that too.

People who actually have sane standards for their instant messaging use the Matrix decentralized chat protocol when they need non-proprietary coms, or revolt

There’s got to be a new directive following this for the writers on those games: “Ensure the dialogue doesn’t matter”

How’s that gonna work?

Stop posting

And they can react to in-game state as well

If every action produces logs and the logs are given to every npc along with some flags, suddenly,

Just punched a guard? That goes in the context

Player is rich? That’s in the context

Wearing mage clothes? Context

It’s a cool way to increase immersion for not much effort without breaking anything in a traditional game

Maybe the base’s wifi is a weird state operator that has peculiar protocols (ie old or misimplemented)

I think it’s fair. You should know if your family cheats if you share your games with them

I guess printf “” > file

When I worked on a website with a map on it I used 15

50000kms is the kind of distances you get going around the earth so to get it down to a millimeter precision from 50k I think 8 or 10 digits required?

So I just put 15

Either emulation is legal and you’re therefore okay with devs getting payment for tgeir labor or it’s illegal and they need to keep as low a profile as they can

I hate people who try to be on both sides

Hey there’s long fledged out discussions on the nuances of… how very ethical piracy is

That is one savage fucking title

have a look yourself

Hint it’s not the old school tech that was the problem

He referenced a talk about programming made by a conservative guy called uncle bob, in a blog post and doubled down that he doesn’t care

The talk used to be referenced often but now less for both some of the technical principles falling out of fashion, and the author just pushing bad take after bad take thinking he’s 10 steps ahead while staying 20 steps behind because he can’t tell the difference. And also the conservative stuff

It was all just a “do we separate art from the artist” discussion

That’s insane

Also lol at the people getting mad at the tea maintainer for “name calling” the guy hired to write up the scam PR

Gig economy or not this idiot should have known better

Sometimes some programs and some downloads have weird slowdowns like this when my VPN is on, even though others remain completely unaffected
