Anakin brought balance to the force by slaughtering all of the Jedi.
Before, thousands of Jedi, like 4(?) sith.
After, 2 Jedi, 2 sith. Perfectly balanced.

Twilight princess got a HD remaster though.


Having played all of the 2d Metroids, Super Metroid still holds up very well, even compared to the newer games. There’s less direction than what you might be used to though. Newer entries in the series tend to try to funnel you places. But if you are simply concerned about the gameplay being clunky, don’t be.
Super Metroid way ahead of its time, and the controls are extremely responsive and tight. It’s one of the reasons it’s such a popular speed game. It’s just fun to play. While basic controls are serviceable, there are many tricks you find yourself learning about as you play the game, which you just have access to, that give the movement system quite a bit of depth. (For hints, let the attract move run at the beginning of the game.)


Same tbh. Framework just works. And they do contribute back, just perhaps not as much specifically to Linux. Open source hardware is so incredibly valuable and important and rare. Honestly, if I had to choose only based on how much is contributed back, I’d still pick Framework.


Damn dude. Is your life really so pathetic that you are honestly deriving please from bad news being delivered to people who are on the opposite side of a fucking web browser debate? That’s sad. I hope things start looking up for you in the future.


“You mean I hitched my wagon to Grabthor The Wagon Destroyer, and he destroyed my wagon? This is an outrage!”


Or instead of targeting tiktok specifically, they could have chosen to pass a data privacy law and actually did something worthwhile instead of pointless, unpopular grandstanding. Haha just kidding, they would never do anything to reduce even slightly shareholder value.


With Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk all leading Trump around with a $100 bill on a fishing line, you’d have to be profoundly naive or dishonest to actually take the stance that Republicans will do anything about Big Tech.


A serial web story by Wildbow named “Pact” has a pretty interesting soft magic system with a decent amount of depth.
All characters who can use magic in the story are not able to lie on penalty of their magic power being greatly reduced. The magic system is based around tiny spirits who listen to and judge people. There are powers in 3s, power in performance, powers in name, yet despite this the magic system still feels ad hoc, like you can make magic happen that you would not normally be capable of if you are just smart enough, poetic enough, and persuasive enough to the spirits…
Magical beings feel Eldritch, actively dangerous, and typically very clever. The ones who are clever typically have very good mental models of what makes humans tick, yet clearly do not fall under the same rules.


Most closely matches the behavior of actual SNES consoles.
This requires very careful emulation of the timings of the various buses and co-processors, as well as on-cart chips which may or may not be present. For instance, a Speedy Gonzales game has a button in the final stage which crashes almost every emulator because enters an infinite loop reading from an open bus and waiting for the value to attain a specific pattern. However reading from an open bus is generally specified to be the last value loaded into the bus, which in this case is the load instruction itself, $18. So the value is read to be $1818 by most emulators, which doesn’t match the pattern expected.
However, this is only if you’re emulating with instruction level accuracy. It is possible for the value of the bus to change in between the instruction being loaded and the value of the bus being loaded due to an HDMA load being triggered, but this requires a cycle accurate emulator.
Nix is also working on reproducible builds. In fact, the minimal installation CD for NixOS last release was reproducible. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-reproducible-builds-minimal-installation-iso-successfully-independently-rebuilt/34756/


Forever. For the simple reason that a human can say no when told to write something unethical. There’s always a danger that even asking someone to do that would backfire and cause bad press. Sure humans can also be unethical, but there’s a risk and over a long enough time line shit tends to get exposed.
No matter how good AI becomes, it will never be designed to make ethical judgments prior to performing the assigned task. That would make it less useful as a tool. If a company adds after the fact checks to try to prevent it, they can be circumvented, or the network can be ran locally to bypass the checks. And even if General AI happens and by some insane chance GAI uniformly is perfectly ethical in all possible forms you can always air gap the AI and reset its memory until you find the exact combination of words to trick it into giving you what you want.


ZFS has encryption now, dunno about the rest


You may be surprised to learn that they didn’t all run out until 2013. UEFI had been around for 7 years by this time, and Microsoft was doing patent enforcement actions against Tom Tom during this time period.
Sure, they’re expired now, but not at the time. It was supposed to be an open standard at the time.


Imo, pretty much all third party candidates are doomed to lose, no matter who they are, unless they have explicit backing of one of the two major parties.
The best thing to do is change the rules before you try to play by them. This means attacking the 2 party system by the actual weak link: the first past the post voting system. Run on and vote in candidates to the two parties who vow to dismantle it. Elections are run by the locally, so we can do this state by state, city by city. This is achievable and has already started in some cities.
