Tetris Attack and all of the other Panel de Pon-likes. They are exactly what I want from a versus puzzle game

Wired communications would take over immediately and it would be a massive pain in the ass, but we’d ultimately adapt.

If the EM jamming is enough to also degrade the signal in copper lines, which at 1000x the strongest signal, might happen, then basically all modern society would collapse within 48 hours

Its a double-edged sword. There is a ton of use in something like “help me display the data in this excel workbook for a presentation” but the tradeoff is that data is now indexed in the recall database along with everything else you do.

Ultimately, using recall is a security concern that massively outweighs any benefits it offers, but to say it offers no benefit at all is incorrect.

This is generally bad advice without some caveats.

It should be more like “learn when you should ask for help with something”. Which is to say, when you get into a jam, don’t immediately find someone to try and get you out of it. Do your own research into the problem first, then ask for help if you hit a block. Also, when someone helps you, try to understand everything they did so that you wont need to ask for help the next time it happens.

You’d think, but its easier to just charge an extra 20% and then blame China while pocketing the extra 3%.

We wont start mining for rare earth metals until they simply refuse to sell to us.

Protonmail is definitely more private than google or Microsoft, but you shouldn’t hold 100% trust in any provider. Ultimately your data is still on their hardware and they have control of it. Also, as others have pointed out, both sides need to be secure otherwise all that data is accessible on the other side.

You can mitigate it yourself a bit by hosting your own email server, but I highly recommend against that as its a massive headache to secure and basically every provider will reject your messages anyway.

Right attitude, wrong solution.

Email is very much not private

Kind of. Because the game was technically owned by the USSR he was not eligible to receive any royalties until his prior contracts expired. He has received royalties on it starting around 1996.

Other people have already said it, but it’s Tetris.

Its the only game ever made that I would describe as “perfect”.

It takes seconds to learn how to play, while the skill ceiling is in the stratosphere. It’s endlessly replayable, the music is iconic, and it’s available for basically any platform made in the last 40 years.

All they need to do is let people keep their original bsky handle when they switch to domain verification. You’d still see some copycat accounts, but the barrier of entry is now higher as it would require someone to purchase a lookalike domain name

Google search is not the same thing as google Chrome. Search still sees a benefit in paying to be the default search provider in Firefox.

Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.

Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won’t go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

“hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?”

“Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling”

Omelette du fromage

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven’t seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven’t run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it’s based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

Wizards had the best ending of any movie I’ve seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.

Yes, absolutely.

The nice thing about Reddit was that if I saw a new TV show, read a new novel, or picked up a new hobby, there would be an existing community of people already talking about it. Lemmy is great, but it doesn’t have the critical mass of people needed for that to be possible.
