No pressure but I appreciate the effort. I’m sure I’d be able to make something for macOS based on it.
Funnily enough, just a few comments back in my profile I’ve offered to find a config file for someone else and I also have absolutely no idea where to find it yet!
Appreciate the link! According to this I have to create a custom config file. Do I need one of those for each game?
open -a DOSBox --args -conf path/to/your-config.conf
I migrated from Instapaper to Omnivore, which was open source and had Instapaper’s paid features. That was acquired by the parent company of ElevenReader and shut down, although the source code still exists for self-hosting. ElevenReader reads the articles but doesn’t have the highlighting and other useful features of Instapaper and Omnivore.
The code is one thing. 300 skilled developers is another. Most of those could be full-time too.
Despite those choices, I’m not sure there were many other directions that could ever bring in the profits that Google does.
Cover the windows from the outside (not inside) to stop sunlight raising the temperature through the glass. I use tinfoil.
If we feel good about it, we’re primed to continue the dark pattern. The first step is acknowledging the problem. If you remove the first step, subsequent steps can’t happen.
I get where you’re coming from. I see land acknowledgements used in colonies like NZ, Canada and USA yet treaties remain broken. I think (IMO) the answer is “all the things” rather than some. But we’re not even shuffling the deck yet as a population so making first steps accessible is important in my own experience. Too much in one go and peoples eyes glaze over.
Good question. The first step with any endeavour is mindset. So when people ask “where do we go from here?” my first thought is that we should stop the glorification of exploitation. Stop wearing brand logos. Stop showing our new devices to people with enthusiasm. Stop celebrating the “winners” of capitalism.
I don’t think we should despair - that doesn’t scale well. But we should (IMO) buy these things with a sense of regret or realism. We should normalise the discourse. I want us to be as up to date on this as people who follow sports.
Otherwise, not only will we never think of ways to fix this, but we won’t even recognise the solution when it’s in front of us.
We need to become conscious and informed of the dilemma of people who look different to us and consider them our brethren. That does wonders for the exploitative appetites we’ve developed.
I find it difficult to respect the way we exist in society. Most of us in the west enjoy what we have because someone elsewhere is being exploited. The general pride and vanity we have is unjustified and we should be using that power for good instead. We are focused on the right wrong things.
You could say that this opinion isn’t unpopular, but just try bringing it up in conversation. Many don’t want to know.
I tend to not reply because that will just draw more attention to them. I will post a separate top level comment rebutting their statements without referring to them.
I stopped reading the register about 15-20 years ago because it was so sensational and misleading.
I’d need to be able to choose a non-US server too. And even then, all the major tech firms breached EU laws by later transferring data back to the US. But if I had to trust an American company Mozilla would be among the better choices.
I know people, who should know better, that don’t know who to believe. This is when faced with both a verifiable source with a track record of accuracy, and an obviously cunning lone wolf with no substance to their argument.
For every genuine source, there is a dishonest one churning out disinformation faster than the genuine sources can because quality takes longer.
I use https://www.sendbig.com/ I haven’t read their privacy policy, though.
I watched Forever just a few weeks ago. I never thought I would but I was curious. Man, that thing was aimed at pre-teens.
The first was definitely outstanding.
The latex licking was definitely odd. Batman Forever broke my heart. If I edit that one it would be about 5 minutes long 😂
I completely agree. And I’m taking care of those exact things in the edit.
On one hand, I want the convenience of a unified system. On the other hand, I don’t want another monopoly with a dangerously wealthy CEO at the helm.
Thank you very much! My memory of these files is coming back seeing your syntax, although this is more advanced than anything I wrote in my DOS days. I’m looking forward to experimenting with it!
