I was just reading an article about how because mozilla's federation experiment failed, federation obviously can't work.
Considering that Firefox is something like 4% of global market share, I don't think that the Mozilla foundation failing at something is really an indication of anything other than the fact that the Mozilla foundation isn't the same organization it once was. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they struggle with free ice cream.

The moment we learned about people who got covid multiple times, it should have been immediately apparent that this wasn't the sort of disease you could just vaccinate away.
But how many people do you know that got vaccinated and then shortly after got covid? In my case the number is super high. Once it started happening commonly, they had to move from a claim that was easily falsifiable, that the vaccine would protect you from getting covid, to a much fuzzier claim that can't really be falsified, and that even though you got sick it definitely would have been worse if you hadn't complied...
It's like as everyone's two eyes disproved their claims one by one as we went, which was always going to happen when you are making people take an untested experimental vaccine, since they really weren't able to do long-term tests before it started to become mandated under the law for many situations.
At that point, then gone in too far, and couldn't admit that they were wrong, and so they started to assemble a completely unfalsifiable "God of the gaps" style explanation for the benefits of the covid vaccine. Sure you did get sick and sure you did get others sick, but there's a terrible risk just outside the range of our most sensitive sensors, and if we hadn't all complied then that horrible thing would have happened to us all!

Excellent point. My first computer was an 8088 without a hard drive, and it really didn't compare in any way to late DOS games running on a Pentium. There was hardly anything remotely similar about the two platforms.
On the topic of Megaman 1 for PC, some people think the problem is that it was developed for MS-DOS. I developed a bunch of games (crappy and amateurish games) for DOS, and can say that in that respect really it doesn't matter that it's DOS. DOOM was made for DOS. Jazz Jackrabbit was made for DOS. One Must Fall 2097 was made for DOS. It took a really long time for games on Windows to match or exceed what was possible on DOS.
The problems with this game are 3-fold.
1. It was made for EGA graphics. EGA was a digital graphics standard consisting of an R, G, and B line, and an intensity line, all of which can either be a 0 or a 1; So you had 16 colors total, and they were hardware defined. This is contrasting to the 16 colors you could display at once on the NES where you could choose from a palette of 64 colors, so you could choose colors that complement each other. Games on PC that looked good came about in the VGA era when 256 software definable colors became the standard.
2. It wasn't made with Megaman's art style. There have been dogs or insects or birds in Megaman games, but they tend to follow the same art style with large expressive eyes and big animations. The fact that megaman looks nothing like megaman is really relevant, there's no reason they couldn't have made a pixel perfect set of sprites given the colors they worked with and the fact that the game was fully licensed.
3. It really wasn't made with Megaman's enemy style. There is a huge reliance on enemies that are too short to shoot (such as the dog in the introduction), which there were some in the Megaman games but they weren't all of them. We also saw attack patterns being quite different than a typical Megaman game. The bats in this game just come towards you and will stop when they hit you. Contrast with bats in an official Megaman game where they tend to swoop and attack then go elsewhere.
It's impressive for what the one dude working on the game was able to do, so you shoudn't be too mad at the guy, but those are the essential problems it faced.

If we set the painting of Dorian Gray on fire, there's a lot of consequences. First and foremost, it becomes a lot more obvious that we can't just consume our way out of this -- if you actually need to burn the carbon to create the things that are supposed to reduce carbon, and you can't just let someone else do it and pretend everything you're doing is carbon neutral, then the calculus of certain decisions become much more complicated in terms of actual resources use you can see, and not in the quasi-academic way we're discussing here.
It also I think will help the somewhat racist view that western civilization has that somehow everyone else can make stuff and our job is to be designers and managers, like that's sustainable.

Just imagine that when Chris Farley was talking about living in a van down by the river he didn't even own the van!
I've noticed a lot of guys want the trad wife. Some thoughts:
1. The tiktok tradwife meme is just a meme. Sometimes even traditional stay at home wives who do the cooking and cleaning appreciate it when you go "don't worry, I got it tonight". You're still a partner and a lover even if you're in traditional gender roles.
2. If you want a trad wife, you gotta be a Chad trad husband. If her job's keeping the house in order then your job's providing material wealth so she can do that. "Oh that's hard I can't do that" -- why are you trying to buy something you can't pay for? (That goes both ways, but I'm not talking about women who want a Chad trad dad but think that work is beneath them)
3. Leave it to beaver had 6 seasons from 1957 to 1963, and each season had 39 episodes, so no more than about 80 hours. Tradition is not a 2 week course with lots of hilarious antics injected inside. Written tradition goes back 8000 years, and the backdrop goes back perhaps into the millions of years and is written into our blood.
I know women who are tradwives through and through, and they're coveted, but often by men who want without being able to provide.
I was watching a video about one of these online influencers trying to be a tradwife to a glowie she married, and he was not only abusive, but seemed to expect her to play the role of the husband as well, earning money and taking care of masculine tasks around the house. The marriage failed, but of course it did.

Sure looks like all the actions match with an unprofitable business that already was on the ropes. Whatever caused it to be a failing business is a question I can't answer, but it doesn't really matter once it's gone.

This is a pretty funny story to read, of people who think they deserve more but don't realize they're already leeching all they can and kill the host.

No shit, if something is a sacred symbol that cannot be defaced, Dont put it where people put their feet, their tires, and where dogs and hobos poop.
He's always been a 90s Democrat and still is. Depending on who you are that's a good thing or the worst thing.
Even in this age, you can't keep a good man down. Just remember to keep the standards for yourself and the people you choose to surround yourself with high. :)

Then you say a joke to your wife most people would get offended by and she gets it.
And does it really matter as much after that?

It takes 9 months to make a baby, no matter how many women you put on the job, and it takes a long term to do long-term testing, no matter how many test subjects you have.
[Admin mode] last one for a while hopefully, everything is working fine, so I disabled evasive mode. All's well.
