Breath of the Wild and moreso Tears of the Kingdom.

Not bad games. But not Zelda games.

BoTW did not play into the metroidvania that I felt defined a Zelda game. Plus it lent on the “sim rpg” style of eating, cooking, durability, etc.

Then ToTK just felt like a gimmicky cash grab. Copy paste terrain, “gadget building” straight out of some steam early access game.

Ultimately, both games felt like a hodgepodge of stolen concepts, slapped together. And the adoration that they received just makes me hate them more.

My favourite (that I saw a human do) was asserting on unconstrained mocks with a typo (so they always asserted true)

Hundreds of tests. Not exactly pointless as they did call the code so maybe caught some issues. But we fixed the typo and barely half of them passed.

No idea how the software worked, but it did.

Given the way things are looking. This is probably going to be the best policy announcement of the entire season.

Why aren’t they pushing the numbers more? A tax cut for most, and an additional 5bn in tax take sounds like a win. Yet it’s buried at the end of a PDF.

Because the joke would be “the European mind cannot conceive ”.

It’s not like there’s something in the picture that screams ‘Murica.

Is the joke that this is in Europe?

Only one of the vehicles is a truck - I’d expect more from the US. It looks just before sundown - which in Europe has more of as it’s more north. there’s lots of greenery, - which to be fair, my experience of the US has been big cities and the Nevada’s desert. But suggests it’s not winter. Iceland also has Taco Bell.

Could be anything.

Something decides it’s going to fill your disk up with noise and plex enters a crash loop as it can’t write to disk any more.

Your reverse proxy decides it’s not going to issue valid SSL certificates so all your plex clients refuse to connect.

One day an OS update decides your network configuration wasn’t important, and your OS throws a shit fit because there’s no route to 192.168.1.100 any more

Not OP. But i do the same.

I have multiple proxmox hosts, running multiple VMs, each running containers.

I do it so I can minimise disruption. Fixing a fault in immich doesn’t mean the house is without plex for a week.

Unfortunately can’t codify how platforms work soecifically into law.

But you could possibly explicitly make companies liable for promoting “detrimental” content. Then define “promoting” as something like “surfacing content to a user beyond the reach of the users immediate network. Ie algorithmic suggestions or advertising”

I doubt people would admit to killing Bob the next day. But people would talk about the bullshit Bob made everyone put up with, and the motives leading to his death. And maybe that would curtail people doing bullshit on the daily.

I expect that after the first few purges, most of the people missing afterwards would be the poor and vulnerable who aren’t able to defend themselves from the group who just want to kill.

Exactly.

The outsourcing supply countries have had over a decade now of working on and around large commercial software platforms.

They have knowledge of their customers needs and the capabilities of the platforms.

Yet how many of them are western owned, and how many are eastern owned?

If 1.4 billion Indians can’t make a corporate-ready viable rip off of SAP in 10 years, AI isn’t going to either.
