It's still a binary from a stranger. You don't know from which source it was built.

That was a good read. The furry blog post read like a smear campaign. Extraordinary unprofessional.

I suspect there are links to some really bad shit in there. Google is probably in damage control mode.

Gate checking and forced gate checking are very, very different things.

Nonsense. Each are in their own namespace. You can't expect something as debatable as color names to share the same values in different namespaces.

The Boing game doesn't work mobile, is that by design?

The line between an inspiration and plagiarism is perhaps sometimes blurry but there's definitely a line.

But you have to steal something, themes at least if you want to create a piece in a style.

You'd be surprised how many ways there are to make storage containers. Gridfinity is one of them.

Sections of Reddit and Twitter have been taken over by incredibly toxic cesspit of bots. They fuel polarization and hate like nothing I've ever seen before.

It's catered for the algorithm which pumps it out to users.

This will be discussed in the next standup and everyone has to have an opinion. We'll need approval from legal and that takes at least a week so we want to minimise ping pong emails.

I'm surprised they do this. The unity rugpull is still fresh in memory and mystery pricing is scary for newcomers.

Websites aren't art. They can be, just like this comment can be art. Especially if I add a fancy made up word to it. Forthedolomaznia.
