It’s objectively worse from a profit standpoint, so I can definitely see them disappearing outside of secondhand sales

Maybe a step further: dialup-punk?

A big part of the nuance you mention is that Keating was not only defending McBride, but also defending the dignity (what little there may be) of the US legislative body, and fulfilling his role as a publicly elected representative to advocate for the interests of the people he represents.

Also, while I do believe Keating deserves way more public attention and praise for this than I have seen, I would not say that he went “above and beyond” by defending McBride. He did what should have been done by anyone in his position.

My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style

I don’t think “decentralised” is the word y’all are disagreeing on. Define platform. Because I think the “platform” you’re talking about is the technology underpinning Bluesky (AT Protocol), which is decentralised, and others here are talking about the Bluesky “platform” itself, as in the service which is a single, centralised implementation of AT Protocol.

Oni had such a cool combat system! There aren’t enough single-player action games with this type of combat depth IMO. This video (YouTube link) does a great job explaining it in detail.

And I had the same experience with Endless Sky when I first found out about it some years ago. It has gotten a lot of updates since then, but I am holding out for a 1.0 release

Escape Velocity and its open-source spiritual successor, Endless Sky.

If I am in the midst of an interview, I don’t know if I want the job yet. That’s what I’m there to figure out. So I would take this question as an opportunity to outline what I am looking for in a job.

Obviously total compensation is a big part of it, but there are other aspects too. Is the position in-office/remote/hybrid? How flexible are work hours? Is the culture more competitive or collaborative? How is success measured (and rewarded) for this role? How would this job advance my career goals? Lay out what’s important to you and ask questions.

If you’re early in your career, you might not have a handle on what you want yet. That’s okay; it’s totally valid to say that you are still figuring things out and are open to whatever experience the job can provide. If nothing else, you might want to ask about mobility within the company–how often does the company promote from within, or allow people to change roles? Does the company have a reimbursement program for job-related training and education?

Even if you are only looking for a pay cheque, you’d be open to transitioning to a new role for more money, right? So highlight up front that you’re looking for a position at a company where you will have opportunities to grow.
