Wild to think this is the same project featured in the third Die Hard, which turned 30 this year.

Yes, it's just a port of the EDK2 UEFI reference firmware

I'm literally waiting for Satisfactory to go on Steam sale so I can buy it again and not have to deal with the Epic launcher for one game I bought on sale when the store launched. :)

Right? When Spencer's Gifts is using the word "yiff" in advertising, you can't quite call it underground now lol

> a developer who has worked on free software (including the GNU toolchain) since the 1980

Can they really not find ANYONE outside their bubble? A phone lives and dies by its UI and they pick someone who primarily does toolchain/CLI work? I don't get it.

Not sure if this was in jest or not but I can say the same. Both when I daily drove a MacBook Pro, and when I was using a Razer laptop as a desktop replacement at the height of the GPU shortage (it DID NOT like charging the battery all the time, eventually it puffed up and I had to remove and recycle it, oops). Though I do see the utility of auto-switching for the average user, so I definitely won't complain about the existence of it. :)

Well, no reason you can't distribute the emulator and let the user provide the rom, right? If MAME can do it, why can't you?

ChickeNES — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 17:44:03 +0000

See, here's what I don't get: Who wants to go through the trouble? Buying tons of nibs, pens, inks, and paper to find one I like, when I go months without even picking up a normal pencil or pen? I'm really curious what people are still writing by hands these days, especially where others would have the ability to comment on it. I don't think I've even used a pen for a signature in god knows, since all the doctor's offices, etc, these days either have touchscreens or email you the forms to fill out online. Are you writing for fun? Doing math? What am I missing here?

Funnily enough there are multiple games where you do logic design now. Though if I had to recommend one game for you to try, it would have to be Factorio.

ChickeNES — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 11:10:51 +0000

Yeah when I went to the UK and tried to view adult content using a prepaid SIM, it was blocked and required verifying that I was an adult, and this was done at the ISP level. And I know for a fact that the UK has much stricter limits on kink and BDSM in adult content as well. What gives with people claiming it's just the US?
