87% Missing: the Disappearance of Classic Video Games in c/[email protected]

Piracy is not just available to the most diehard fans. It has never been so easy to just download a full ROM set to even your phone and play those games there. There are ROM+emu prepackaged bundles that don't even really look illegal.

On top of that, Titanic can be watched online, because it was a well known and influencial film. I can't watch a significant number of movies without dusting off my VCR, because they're unavailable digitally. I can't even pirate those things, because they aren't anywhere.

Persona is a series I enjoyed despite the gameplay and not because of it.

At some point you're out and have to farm them. I never found that a problem, but some people do.

I do not understand how that makes a case for metaverse/VR hangouts. Could you elaborate?

I've been using bash since the 90's and I'm still a n00b. I'm still not constructing scripts in my head before I write them down. It's still (kbin.social)

I've been using bash since the 90's and I'm still a n00b. I'm still not constructing scripts in my head before I write them down. It's still

$ some command
$ some command | more commands
$ some command | more commands | even more commands

At some point I was making progress and I got to where this was happening:

$ some command
$ some command | more commands
$ even more commands $(some command | more commands)

Whatever I do, I still start with a very general command and add pipes. I don't know what I want before I see it.

I have recently started to rewrite some of my old scripts to get to the point earlier. It works when I'm writing in other languages, but in shell languages it's hard to get rid of this nasty habit of starting with the most general command and accumulate pipes.

The problem with modern distributions is that nobody ever has to deal with their own kernel anymore and nobody learns how to trim one down and build it.

You don't need a static IP for a Telegram bot. I've been running one in a Termux on my phone for years.

Being on the receiving end makes you pretend to be humble.

Edit: okay, nothing humble about that.
