Good to know. Thanks for the breakdown.

Our nearest Pizza Hut delivers via Doordash whether you order direct or through DD, but if you order direct its 30% cheaper. I’m not sure who’s eating the markup.

I recognized the name AU10TIX, because I half-joked on Lemmy about a potential mass doxxing of Xitter’s most vile users back in September when they announced the partnership. I assumed they’d be a target for ransomware/hackers, not that they’d just leave their admin creds out in the open.

Usenet’s is having a minor resurgence, we could be trendsetters.

All the great editors were built on lemon batteries, I thought that was common knowledge. The reason we all turned against Pico/Pine is that UW developed it using potato batteries. Potatoes! Can you even imagine?

This one isn’t true of course, but it still feels like it fits

What you’re going to want to do is chase that with some Cured Pork and Beef and Rice and Soy Protein Product.

This is why license plates are so short, so no one gets the custom plate car'); DROP TABLE surveillanceState;

Clearly that’s what blu-tack is for.

I’m taking note of that that combo feather teaser / ball track / butterfly toy. I think my big orange boy would lose his mind over that.

My best READMEs are the ones I write well before I’ve finished the code. The README bears little resemblance to reality, but it’s the easiest to read.

That all sounds very familiar. The one I played was full color but it must have either been a late version of Empire or something heavily “inspired” by it.

No, but it was my gateway into Netrek.

We are not. When I want a cubic desktop environment I reach(ed) for BeOS.

I’ve been trying to remember but it hasn’t come back to me. It was a 2D, top down, space battle game. Its possible it wasn’t named after Star Trek, but you pilot a grey ship with a saucer section and nacelles to fire torpedoes and phasers at green bird of prey looking ships so…

Oh, I hadn’t thought of Tux Racer in ages. I think I need to play that again.

I use linux because, in the 90s, Redhat shipped with a Star Trek game. We are not the same.

I can sort of see the appeal, but its not for me. If anything is ever going to rename files for me its going to be a script that I’ve either written or at least read top to bottom. Not a blackbox inference engine, and especially not one based on an LLM.

I follow one of the year progress bots on mastodon, and it’s proven to be a minor existential crisis machine.

“What do you mean the year is 40% over!? I haven’t gotten anything done!!! I need to let 4 hours disappear playing KSP to calm down a little…”

Yeah, the headline sort of reads like Ars is daring Google to remove the flag.
