I know this is the politics community so forgive me for saying "this comment aside," but we really need to figure out a cheaper and cleaner way to desalinate seawater.
I wonder if Mozilla would've benefitted if something like Hello was still around when the pandemic hit. Hello was a Firefox feature that made video chatting easy. You just needed to click the link.
Yeah, for all the difficulty I had with the dam on NES TMNT as a kid, I saw a streamer do it last year I think (I believe on first attempt?) not realizing it was supposed to be difficult. Blew my mind.
Great point. I already find this to be a problem with the recommendations that pop up when paused, and the end-video elements they throw over everything despite having that turned off everywhere I can find it. It's all so dumb. Just so damn dumb.
A string is just a collection of characters, in programmer speak. When you use quotation marks in your search to find exactly what you want. If your search was:
dog "fast drive"
Google used to show results that only had both the word "dog" and the joined phrase "fast drive" in the same result. Or tell you there were no results.
Now it feels like Google uses that as a suggestion, giving you "dog" and any combination of "fast drive", "fast driver", "fast driving", or whatever else Google thinks you want, instead of what you asked for. Or if they don't find it, they serve you up whatever they want, with a small message about there being no matching results.
I think it speaks to either a) how much they liked or trusted the former Annapurna president and former Annapurna Interactive leaders. b) How much they dislike plans to fold the current company further into the larger company, or c) How they feel about the failed negotiations. Or some combination thereof.
I was at Full Sail in 2003-2004. Say what you want, but the point here is that people there LOVED games. We'd set up 2 TVs in the living room, and 2 in the bedroom, and go crazy for hours. A single game of single flag assault on Blood Gulch could last hours. Then we'd play FFA to pick leaders, then go again. After 2-3 games the hype would dwindle, some would leave, and we'd go to Munchkin. Then occasionally poker. Then Denny's for breakfast because it was early in the morning and class was in a couple of hours on Monday.
Talk about a feeling of belonging. Definitely chasing that feeling still, and not ashamed of it.
This was going to be my recommendation, so I'm happy to see it.
Around the same time I also watched The Besieged Fortress. It's about an ant colony attacking a termite mound. It's staged, but handled as it might happen in real life, and narrated as if it's some massive siege in medieval times. It's fantastic.
Good luck getting to some place you're happy being.
Funny, with a harsh ring of truth. I actually would be interested if they could dual boot with the game on a partition. That would make the transition to Linux easy too. But ultimately as it is, it's "use Windows, or say to hell with playing games with your family". I'm lucky that I still enjoy playing games with them, and them with me, so I gotta stick with that.
I love the idea of using Linux. But then I end up playing Warzone every weekend with my family. Can't give that up. The best part is that they want kernel access, and still have cheating problems, apparently. (Must be higher than my level!) But it still inherently affects me, as they won't port to Linux.
Also worth noting is that it's only available to your primary YouTube account. For me that somehow became a different one created when they foisted Google Circle on everyone. So my actual YT account, that I use every day and matches my email address, can't access my saved YT music. I have to change YouTube profiles to listen to it, which I do on occasion.
