I was looking for one of my favorite games from 1993. Not only is the developers website still up and you can still download the demo version and soundtrack from them, but I found some random guy rewrote the whole game in Javascript with WebGL and it can be played in a browser.
That’s my situation at a Silicon Valley tech company. Nobody ever mentioned unions one way or another but I honestly have no idea what I could ask for that I don’t already get. We have good benefits, good perks, everyone works frok home, unlimited PTO that nobody tries to limit or work around (all we are asked for is to give a rough estimate of time we’ll be taking off during each quarter so that it can be factored into planning), good work environment, good pay.
I play Minecraft with my kids, but I don’t use a Microsoft account for it. Just PollyMC and host my own server.
If I download a pirated game it’s because I don’t intend to pay for it. It’s a choice between pirating and not playing it at all. Sometimes I like the game so much that I do end up buying a legit copy too, but that wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get to play it first.
For Switch in particular it’s because I’m a PC gamer and can’t get used to playing games on console. I do own a Switch, but I find it inconvenient to use vs the PC. I played a lot more on the emulator than I did on the real thing.
Xitter is simply short for “Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, currently known as dumpster fire”
I grew up as a PC gamer (if you can call 8-bit computers PCs too) and never had a console as a kid. I got an Xbox One when it came out, just because of the Kinect, and never played anything on it other than Just Dance. Playing on my PC is more convenient. I got a Switch and played some Pokémon, but couldn’t get in the habit of playing on a device instead of a PC. When I got a Switch emulator on my PC, I played more on that than I did on the actual Switch in all the time I owned it.
It’s like saying Microsoft Windows is the most loved OS on PC. People just go with the option in front of them. Spotify is the biggest streaming service now, Amazon Music ties in with Alexa.
And some shows have a slightly different intro for each episode, which might make you want to watch it every time.
The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you’re binge-watching a show you don’t want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.
Also this “shower thought” is word for word one of the popular posts on lemmy from a few weeks ago.
it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.
It’s four twists
I remember the girl who accidentally tried to walk through a glass window. Three times in a row.
The equivalent expression in my language is “the drop that filled the glass”. As with the camel, the glass was already full, it just needed one more drop to reach its limit.
I felt old when I started hearing Limp Bizkit and Blink-182 on my local classic rock station.

That’s how I found about Megalopolis
I found about The Wild Robot movie from a giant billboard on the side of a building at Universal Studios. Since my kids both loved the books, it caught our attention and we looked up the trailer.

I did not say companies should have no liability for publishing misinformation. Of course if someone uses AI to generate misinformation and tries to pass it off as factual information they should be held accountable. But it doesn’t seem like anyone did that in this case. Just a journalist putting his name in the AI to see what it generates. Nobody actually spread those results as fact.
All those people can live their lives just fine without seeing political posts on Lemmy.
Same for copyright law. The point was to give creators a few years to profit from their work before it goes into public domain.
