I’m merely pointing out that your thesis – “You make it seem like Microsoft didn’t do everything they could to kill Linux and Mac.” – is categorically false. Of course no sane business decision in the current economic climate is altruistic, but this is scarcely news.

For those who think this is some sort of abstract problem, the two papers I wrote most for simply shut down their websites a couple of years ago when the buyer from GateHouse realized print journalism isn’t a cash cow.

I’d not felt a need to archive my own stories and columns because the site would always be there. I literally lost years of my own content, but this is larger than “writer pissed about business decisions” – it sends us back to the days of microfiche for research into local news.

Just to rub salt in the wound, once the domain for the paper I was news editor at some 20 years ago came up for renewal, a pink-slime org bought it and used – oddly – bylines from the sister paper of people I’d worked with who would never produce the slop being attributed to them.

As papers continue to shutter, this sort of preservation becomes increasingly important, especially against the backdrop of a government doing its Orwellian best to rewrite history.

Please don’t alter headlines. The title of this post is meaningless given its lack of context (not to mention, it’s unlikely they were “unknown”).

Like literally investing in $150 million in Apple in 1997 and porting Office to MacOS to get in front of a possible antitrust trial ahead of Jobs’ return?

I’m not an MS fanboi, but at least get your facts right if you’re going to make such a claim.

Nope, just start each graf with a greater-than sign, and you’re good to go.

Nr. 6 will surprise you! For this hed to work on this story, a listicle format is indicated.

So far as the internet knows from my IP address, I’ve not been in Texas for years. VPNs are crucial for navigating the modern internet, and not just for porn. Why should my ISP be able to sell my browsing history when I’m paying for the service?

For what it’s worth, you’re not alone. Feeling a loss of agency and having to rely solely on external actors for progress is a very difficult spiral to get out of.

As to the antidepressant idea, I’m sure you’re aware that if it works, it will take weeks to manifest, after which success would mean dosage adjustments. I have the treatment-resistant sort and have gone through the full spectrum of SSRIs and SNRIs over the years … they just make me apathetic and depressed.

I can’t even begin to imagine what a full collapse of Social Security would mean for society. In a dark way, I hope my parents, who depend on it for income, die before the program does. Or did I mean pogrom …

As with so many things these days, disgusting but unsurprising. Someone wake me up when things are surprisingly gusting.

I took a look at the first link, and I don’t mean to be rude, but what you’re expecting of users is downright hostile. Downloading a game engine and then runtimes to manually compile your game isn’t going to snag a lot of casual interest.

From your description:

You need to compile this project, and to compile this project you first need to have the godot engine with C#/.NET support which the download link is underneath this line, second you put the Bowling Mega Mix folder on your local machine, third you need to open that same folder in the engine, fourth compile the project either using the play button or something else.

To put new files in this repository you need github desktop, Here is a link to ubuntu based linux distro version of github desktop: https://gist.github.com/berkorbay/6feda478a00b0432d13f1fc0a50467f1 and whatever you do, do not use gitkraken as your github desktop replacement or linux version, it does not work.

Before you get the engine or compiling the project, you are going to need the .net sdk and runtimes and you may want to install an older version because sometimes the latest version does not work and here is a link to the directions on how you install it on linux: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux?WT.mc_id=dotnet-35129-website, to install an older version you change the version number to a lower number in the terminal.

To use mods you use the version 2 or later folder, you drag the mod folder in that very same folder and the mod folder must be called Bowling Mega Mix Mod and .tscn file must be called ModBowlingBall.tscn and lua scripts must be called ModBowlingBall.lua and ScoreLayer.lua

You posted as though you’d like feedback from people spending five to 10 minutes with your game, but you’re turning this into the better part of an evening by not having something one and done. That’s not how you draw testers.

It’s cool that you’re being so prolific, but please don’t ask people to install software other than yours for your software to work. If a .NET download link needs to be thrown into the .msi, so be it, but this should not be a multistep process (for *NIX, provide a script).

Not sure where you’re deducing that from … anything one applies a voltage to produces heat. Even microSD cards can get absurdly hot, and the controller is on the host end.

Honestly? This isn’t even new … I posted plenty of porn of my ex-wife, leading to a guy offering to buy her a house if she left me. Being creepy, uh … finds a way. I still don’t quite get why people don’t want to just meet someone and angle for a relationship instead of getting off in front of a glowing rectangle.

Toyotathon isn’t until the end of the year.

To a nice farm in upstate New York.

That’s easy enough to say, but it’s unlikely it would have turned out how you’re envisioning. “Common sense” is not so common, as it turns out.

If half of any platform were to be rude and/or inappropriate, I’d exit, stage left.

I don’t follow you to your conclusion, though. The way most people treat strangers in the U.S. is basically “when are they going to fuck me over?” We’re less pleasant in meatspace because we expect deceit.

Let me tell you how excited I am that we’re getting yet more slow-moving heavy rains.

I mean, Jesus fuck, does anyone believe we’ve not crossed the Rubicon?

U.S. citizens were released only after agreeing to delete videos and photos of the raid from their phones, the UFW added.

This falls into the category of “other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

News would be Local Jewish Community Totally Fine With Holocaust Denial.

That aside, please stop posting full articles on Beehaw. It opens the site to copyright liability. Excerpts are fine, falling under fair use, but the point of a functional news-aggregation site is to drive views on publishers’ sites so that they continue producing the content being shared.
