Anyone got recommendations for cheap or interesting indie games this sale?

I bought Touhou Artificial Dreams In Arcadia during the October sale and it is a bit of a hidden gem for fans of the old SMT JRPG games on SNES. I also picked up Lunacid but have not got that far in it, but it seems like a strong revival of the classic Kings Field games.

Meta don’t need to federate to get all of the ActivityPub information. By it’s nature everything that is posted to it is public and unencrypted - including private messages. This is a PR move instead of a data gathering activity. Maybe also they are trying to bootstrap content into their new platform which would otherwise be a barren wastelend.

My understanding was that he did some kind of tacit endorsement of necklacing. Can’t recall if he was popularising songs that described it or something. However pretty sure he was not personally involved.

Ultimately the Suffragists ended up having more of an impact on getting women the vote than the Suffragettes.

That is how civil disobedience works. Nelson Mandela was in prison for years.

Surprised it’s not higher given how catastrophically badly his party have been running things

Anecdotally, in my experience everyone in the UK just uses WhatsApp for group chats

This was supposed to be the “last” windows operating system they’d ever release.

Dropping into this thread late to mention how much I have enjoyed using marginalia.nu - the whole experience is just a joy on a desktop. Not strictly related to search but their wikipedia-type encyclopedia has has been improving a lot recently too.

https://dosdeck.com/ is a lovely website. Usually not too fussed by UX but this web app has an amazing frontend.

I’m curious about how the rise of docker/kubernetes has affected these companies. I would have thought VMWare and Oracle would have been affected by the fall in the use of tools such as Vagrant for VMs.

Gentoo desktop but I have to use it over SSH a lot of the time since I’m stuck on my work macbook

As an adult I’ve looped back around to the DS. Never really appreciated it as a young teenager but it has an amazing library. Ace Attorney and Devil Survivor have racked up a lot of play time from me in the past few years.

I never played the DLCs or the Shovel Knight adjacent games they made (think there was a puzzler?) but I loved the original when it came out. Might be time to dive back in to that world.

Quite a lot of the people that donate money to camgirls/OnlyFans models have learning difficulties. My special needs brother-in-law gets disability allowance from the state every month because he is too disabled to work and still managed to rack up a 4000 pound debt giving money to these “content creators”.

Just responding to myself here. My original comment which sparked off this discussion/chain appears to have been deleted. I thought I had been respectful but in the future I’d recommend mods just remove news stories that make them uncomfortable instead of censoring comments.

I can’t speak for everyone but ime when people use the argument they are often more interested equality or inclusion at all costs. Their good intentions blind them to the fact that womens’ sport has spent centuries trying go gain validity / parity with mens’ sport.

I thought I told you to get rid of those sideburns! …“But Mr Burns I don’t think know you what sideburns…”

I’ve had it with your attitude! You’re outa here!!

I remember when it first came out I asked it to help me write a MapperConfig custom strategy and the answer it gave me was so fantastically wrong - even with prompting - that I lost an afternoon. Honestly the only useful thing I’ve found for it is getting it to find potential syntax errors in terraform code that the plan might miss. It doesn’t even complement my programming skills like a traditional search engine can do; instead it assumes a solution that is usually wrong and you are left to try to build your house on the boilercode sand it spits out at you.
