I know the focus of this article was on the Dam and water sources, but I’m still kinda surprised the Grist writer just passively described the farmer’s 300 acres is used for alfalfa (and oats), which is itself responsible for the majority of water use in the west. It’s deeply unsustainable, and I would’ve thought it appropriate to at least point it out in the article, but c’est la vie.
They used c++ initially since it was spawned from SerenityOS, which was designed to be a mashup of win2000 and unix.
now that Ladybird is its own project, it’s not constrained to that goal, and they have said they will incorporate modern languages.
I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.
Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it’s beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it’s more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it’s on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they’ll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).
XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn’t suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).
This is a summary from @[email protected]:
TL;DW:
This is a simplified version of simplified version.
The article is pretty well laid out, IMO. It sets up the story with background information of who Ken Williams is, the history of the Police Quest series and the Sierra hacker/stoner culture, then goes into Daryl Gates and his background, and finally how Ken hobnobbed with him and pushed hard for him to be involved despite the resistance of the game devs. It then goes into how the game that Daryl advised on was deeply influenced by his racist views, which Ken had no trouble publishing, and even hoped would generate controversy for profit.
It gives all the context needed for non-sierra fans and for people not familiar with Daryl Gates, and doesn’t really have any fluff or repeating points.
Not sure what you mean by skewing the facts? Could you give an example?
Article’s kinda crap, really; the whole point is “a prick hired a prick to be involved in a prickish game.”
Ken Williams has generally been pretty well regarded, especially by Sierra fans. He was even included in the old Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy, so I think it comes as somewhat surprising that he was so easily swayed by Rush Limbaugh back then, and shifted so far right wing to the point of purposefully working with a cop so heavily associated with systemic racism and the Rodney King beating.
It certainly was news to me, as someone who grew up with those games.
Not everyone has the ability or spare time to become skilled in every field. Calling them lazy and illiterate for not learning a complicated thing (when they may already be learning some other complex subject) is kinda the definition of elitism.
Don’t be an elitist bung hole, dude.
Yeah they’re great, always look forward to the skit at the end :)

Love me some computer chronicles!
The errors occurred on standard Firefox running on Windows 10 LTSC, and for mobile on Graphene OS using mull, a hardened version of Firefox mobile.
Both were using ublock origin and localCDN extensions.
Interesting project!
Seems to be giving an error on both Firefox mobile and desktop, but I was able to use it on Chrome.

Yarr, matey.
I’d recommend asking around lemmy.dbzer0.com, in the sailing community.
But it’d be easier to switch to Linux Mint, if you don’t have a critical windows app that doesn’t work in wine.

For anyone else reading this and thinking about trying linux for the first time, be sure to use Linux Mint. It will give you the smoothest and easiest experience, and you pretty much never need the terminal. It even comes with a really nice software store (but everything is free).
Absolutely, I’m surprised they haven’t addressed that privacy concern.
There’s a great ms paint alternative from KDE called Kolour Paint, which you can grab from the software center.
A not insignificant portion of online games utilize the steam friend system exclusively to enable inviting others to your party, and would not function otherwise. One example off the top of my head is Hunt: showdown.
I read about that in an old comment on reddit years ago, but thought maybe it was FUD from a user that didn’t want transplants to move there. Seeing you mention it again is finally getting me to look into that story.
EDIT: Damn, it’s legit.
