The whole point of bringing out a new generation of hardware is to make it work in much better ways of operation than the last one. By default it is not going to run the older generation of games because it doesn’t work in the same way. Now they could spend a lot of effort in making it able to play the old games and work in the old way, but what is their incentive to do that, compared say in starting work on the next generation or releasing the console earlier?

No one secured the ladder or the roof or responded to alerts of a gunman on the roof. There’s only two angles where you could shoot the ear without it entering the head, must be a million to one shot… but the real question to ask is…. a teenage boy looking at porn?… that is crazy!

I said this to my uncle once “me and my dad bought stuff at auction then probably spent more fixing it up than it was worth”. He said “but it helped you didn’t it?”, yeah it definitely did. Fixing stuff definitely helps the soul, if it helps you, do it and don’t worry about the cost.

In 2015, Indiana’s then-governor, Mike Pence, signed a law making the state’s immunity law retroactive to Aug. 26, 1999, four days before the city of Gary initially filed its lawsuit.

How can you sign a retroactive law? Essentially making things legal which were illegal when they were committed and what about criminalising things which were legal? Could people be prosecuted for things that became crimes after they did them?

One drive has a trash for the trash. I’m still not convinced those files are gone after the 2nd empty, I think they just don’t show the other trash cans

Thank you for your hard work. I feel that a delay of a few hours is acceptable for a voluntary service. I am sure there are many commercial services which have much worse communication.

I personally feel that being able to discuss piracy but banning communities that have links that actively promote piracy seems like a sensible safe legal position. This is probably what I would do if there was even a possibility I might be legally liable for an instance.

I can understand users frustration but I don’t think it’s fair to take it out on the admins. It is a thankless task which people do to benefit their community. The great thing with the fediverse is that you have other low cost options to turn to if an instance no longer works for you.

We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.

I don’t think it’s free but it is free-er . You have an admittedly shitty balance of power between politicians who want to be voted for and capitalists who want to make money and voter/consumers. The population, who as a collective, want excellent public and private services with low prices/ taxes and generally not too concerned how that happens. Don’t get me wrong there are lots of fantastic people in the world and most people I meet I think are genuinely decent. A person is smart but people are dumb.

It was meant to be a joke! The cat on the window sill looks like he has just been painted and is drying off. The other two are on the shelf waiting their turn.

Please excuse my cryptic and weird sense of humour!

Do you paint cats for a living?

It makes no economic sense. I think it must appeal to a lot of voters, probably a lot who would not admit it.

Didn’t say they were friends lol!

Fair…, trade marks must be protected, it’s literally stealing from the company.

Capitalism has a solution to the tent problem though

UK - The home secretary is proposing new laws to restrict the use of tents by homeless people, arguing that many of them see it as a “lifestyle choice”.

Yes it seems they want copyright when it suits them and not when it doesn’t.

Getting hit by a paywall to read this article, maybe made the point better than the article!

They are led by by the “protect paedos” and “create terrorism” gang. Unfortunately most people are too dumb or disinterested to look beyond the popularist slogans.

I am always interested to read about different viewpoints but I don’t think I will miss Lemmygrad much.

I think there will be periods of regret…. Highs followed by lows, that’s just the path you walk as a compulsive olive eater.
