Echo Dot

Pacific Drive is on the list.

I was a big fan of them banning indoor smoking. If you’re going to smoke in a restaurant what’s even the point in going, you now can’t taste the food anyway.

I have a calendar event set on my phone to tell me when the insurance can be renewed. When it ends, when it can be renewed.

There’s literally no reason not to do that. The game has long since made money and keeping it out of public ownership is now not doing anyone any favors.

Some studios are just intransigent.

As much as I like them I don’t think you can call them a competitor.

I’ve seen games that are available on both platforms that sell hundreds of times more copies on Steam simply because of steam’s reputation.

A competitor actually has to be able to compete.

The government doesn’t want the service to collapse because it doesn’t want the cost of nationalising it.

They might not really want to nationalize it but they’re also aware of public sentiment. They may ultimately decide that it’s worth nationalizing it just to send a message. So you don’t know they won’t nationalize it so the rest of the argument is somewhat irrelevant until that decision is made.

Your point is that you think that nationalization would end up in a worse situation than it currently is in and honestly I can’t see how that could possibly be the case.

It doesn’t need to be anything complicated. If you just re-upload the original code to a new location, and then Nintendo has to start the entire process of tracking the uploader down in order to threaten them.

Ironically for a video games company Nintendo don’t really seem to quite understand how the modern world works.

He also didn’t say his name three times in 10 seconds. Then sort of fade off and vaguely look off into the distance.

They said to me Donald, Donald, they said Donald, they do amazing things, real bigly things, my father, my father, said to me Donald, they do big things Google land. Really good things… Yeah… Big things…

With a preserved “shadow” of the keyboard

You realize that when a business is privatized they don’t give it to the civil service right?

They bring in a CEO from the business world, The point is that CEO isn’t then given marching orders to make as much money in the shorter time as possible.

Hydro is great but it’s not clean it requires you to flood vast areas of land, it’s quite damaging to wildlife.

It is also highly situation dependent, you be quiet exactly the right kind of geography in order to be able to build hydro and then you require that there is no one living in the affected area otherwise it gets very expensive very quickly assuming you’re allowed to do it at all.

Any port in a storm I guess

So as far as I can tell the idea here is to just continuously piss off Nintendo forever with a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

If Jeremy Clarkson is part of your movement you’re on the wrong side. The guy is an enormous ego with a platform.

Why the hell would “The Government™” want to ethnically cleanse farming what the hell does that even mean?

I do think it’s funny how he’s got massively into the whole farming thing though.

Uh you’re using tailwind, the future really is bleak

You have to have some base load it can’t be all renewable because renewables just aren’t reliable enough. The only way to get 100% reliability from solar for example would be to build a ring of panels around the equator (type 1 civilization stuff).

Of all the options for base load, nuclear is the least worst, at least until we can get Fusion online, but you know that’s always 20 years away.

I’m fairly sure that all newly built houses in the UK require solar by law.

The link doesn’t work at all.

If they simply didn’t want to sell to a certain demographic it would still load the website but would just say they don’t operate in your region. The error you get back is once you get back if the domain doesn’t exist.

I think the bronzer has a bad effect on them.

What are you disagreeing with exactly because I didn’t say anything about X.

I’m taking about Mastodon versus bluesky
