I dislike this fact, because I very clearly remember when it was brand spanking new

Yes, but not competent ones.

Let’s hope the destroy themselves before they elect competent fascists instead of this bunch

Exactly. Basically nobody in their 30s can, say, drive a manual car without a synchro, unless they specifically practiced it, because there is zero need to learn that skill. And basically nobody under 20 can set port forwarding on a router because there is basically zero need for that skill.

When I wanted sound on Arkanoid, I HAD to learn IRQ settings, so I did. But now that stuff just works.

Good! Vintage Story started as a mod for Minecraft and is now an absolutely amazing game, hoping this will be the same story.

And extremely predictable

Honey bees are doing absolutely fine though. And they’re pretty fucking terrible on other/native pollinators.

What? Are you telling me that “baby one more time.mp3.exe” I got off of Napster isn’t actually reliable? Gasp!

Actual piracy involves a lot of corpses of mostly innocent sailors, IP violations are a victimless crime.

Edit: if you look at https://satellitemap.space/ now, the number of sats has been going up since march, but the number in service is shrinking, probably due to shutdowns exceeding replacement launches.

Launch capacity has kept steady since 2022, and so has life expectancy. We’re coming up on the end of life for the first sats, so it’s likely the total number has peaked, and will now drop to a steady state.
