Oh god youre the person behind all the legacy codebases I’ve maintained

Oh I can definitely get behind that, I have my gripes with how the current climate consensus is insidiously stacked to give policymakers leeway and mislead the public with this bullshit.

I’m reading through it now and this part on NGFS reports really captures the sentiment:

This is analogous to carrying out a risk assessment of the impact of the Titanic hitting an iceberg but excluding from our model the possibility that the ship could sink, the shortage of lifeboats, and death from drowning or hypothermia.

As much as I hate talking about ‘duh economee’ when it comes to climate change (a thing that threatens the existence of us and many other beings) this report nails it.

Also the critical observations are good talking points when dealing with deniers/idiots

At 4C of warming the feedback loops of Earth begin to accelerate at an unprecedented rate, the economy is irrelevant from this point onwards.

Just one of these feedback loops has more CO2 equivalent than over 60% of anthropogenic emissions since the industrial revolution.

At 4C of warming the human race is due for extinction unless through its self perceived exceptionalism it somehow manages to circumvent the laws of thermodynamics.

The alternative is we start building a better tomorrow TODAY.

Tbh I don’t want modern Bethesda trying to touch Morrowind, it’s beyond their comprehension.

At least it can’t be as bad as what we’ve got in Australia.

A ham fisted law passed through to ban ‘all vapes’ except for a select few that are manufactured by philip morris and the other big tobacco companies.

The tax on cigarettes alongside this has made an extremely lucrative black market for organised crime.

Oh, works on my machine. Oh well.

The best solution for privacy is to not use windows, seems like a good guide but even with all these modifications I would throw the computer in the dumpster and set it on fire before using it in any privacy sensitive or mission critical applications.

Linux runs fine these days, and with NTSync in the kernel and the work done on WINE and proton there really isn’t a need to use an operating system that abuses you and sells your data for profit.

I unfortunately bought a subscription before dickhead made his statement. Looks like I’m with them for a year >.<

This is an economic war and it has been going on for some time, they have no need to fund armies. They’ve already subverted our way of life.

The oligarchs have united to fight against us, we need the working class to unite and fight back before it’s too late

I wonder how well the patent would stick though? If someone implements a similar enough system and it’s taken to court the whole patent could be invalidated if the court rules against it

Still, I wonder how many genuinely fun concepts and systems for video games have been locked behind patents. I don’t even buy AAA titles anymore, they’re all gobshite because of the MBA vermin

What the actual fuck, Kavin.

Ahaha I guess you can only resell skyrim so many times…

Looking forward to playing it, but I’m not paying for another goddamn fucking remake Todd. Yarr.

Mad that FPGA looks pretty cheap to toy around with thanks for letting me know!

I dream of making a SBC that has an FPGA and modular cable system to emulate as many device interfaces as possible

desire to learn more DSP maths increases

But seriously that’s really cool! You also sound really cool, do you mind me asking where your studies have taken you? I’m looking at going back to study soon, potentially for compsci and mechanical engineering but I’m torn between a lot of different degree at this moment

My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

2. Boot into live distro

3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

Hope it helps any newcomers!

Shit you’ve got my vote, I was trying to think of the most influential game in a positive light but this is actually it and it’s depressing that it is.

Hopefully it wins its deserved title, it would make a loud statement that we’re aware of the scummy business practices that have subverted the gaming industry since corpo-ghouls realised it was profitable.
