Well, good luck with that. :-)

Whatever it was, it was temporary. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Take all those billions and go unfuck Teams. Thank you.

That will most likely never happen, so stop lying to yourself.

Bring back Geocities next.

As they say in my county: “go and die far from here, so I can’t smell you”.

On the other hand, all I have in my Epic account are the free games. I expect those cost his company money.

Even so, I feel dirty and will close my account. I can get the titles I really like in Gog or Steam.

Selling artificial intelligence to natural idiots.

I have the theory that MP3 played a part in the death of rock music and the rise of hip hop.

Guitars and cymbals sound awful when compressed to 128kbps, as it was common in the early days of Gnutella and Napster.

Music with vocals and beats sounds much better at those compression rates.

Should not have allowed them in the first place.

I tried Tidal and could not go back to Spotify.

I guess it also depends on what type of music you are listening to. Simple FM pop or hip-hop works fine compressed. Rock, classical, melodic or more complex music gets the high range completely smashed by artifacts.

True, idiocy is universal. You can see the roaches crawling out of the rocks already.

I don’t think it would be much use other than emulated computers/consoles/arcades.

I heard about Fex for x86 emulation, but never tried it myself.

Small computers are more powerful than you think, if used properly. I stick with a bunch of containers instead of VMs and it all just hums along nicely on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Pi-Hole running all the time barely registers as a workload.

If you liked em dashes, you’ll love ligatures.

On top of all the damage AI unleashed into the world, there’s that: it ruined em dash for people who appreciate typography.

Are you sure about that? They sure exhibit a distinct lack of humanity.

IIRC, Caldera also had a Tetris clone in the installer, so you could play while it installed itself.

I was expecting Comic Sans.

Just checked, my local llama.cpp instance is still up. No, you can’t use it.
