Netrunner

Yep, and Nintendo still fixes them for free AFAIK.

Schrödinger, so you may as well go Mötley Crüe style; Schrödinger’s Cädilläc.

Stubborn Medical Hologram: “That’s not part of my program!”

Kevin Mitnick! He died last year… Whistle F to pay respects. He was an early practitioner of SIM cloning, which is an even bigger deal today because criminals can do it to receive people’s two-factor authentication codes and then get into their bank accounts, etc.

I like how Nintendo carts specifically said to not use alcohol (or benzene!)

Contact cleaner is best, it leaves a light oily coating to keep oxygen out. To this day, I can still pop in an NES cartridge and have it work on the first try.

If you wanted to play what is basically a LAN game today, you would have your modem directly call your friend’s modem for only the cost of the phone call. We did this for Doom “deathmatches”.

You could dial into a server for multiplayer but you would typically have to pay for that access because the server’s owner was paying for fancy multi-line service that could handle all the connections at once.

I was always just confused as to why Solo had a partner.

I was wondering what Virgin had to do with Sonic… it has their London address under the Sega logo.

Everybody knows that if you want to see “visions”, you go to the isle of Patmos, eventually get hungry, and eat the mushrooms there.

Yuzu fucked up. This is about more than the decryption. Yuzu’s actions (copypasta from a fine redditor):

• Massive patreon, to the point it has an LLC set to manage the money flow
• Early access releases are effectively SOLD, they fucked around with manifest/build files, abused GPL to go after some forks back when they were Citra, attacked other forks/emulators then benefitted from their work and even replicated their practices (like CEMU’s patreon), etc
• Actively targets Switch competitors (Steam Deck, Android), to the point Valve once included it in a marketing reel
• Its presence on the OFFICIAL Android play store rather than an apk competes with Nintendo’s own Android games (undermining both those and the Switch)
• Unauthorized use of Nintendo imagery
• Extensive telemetry, itself juicy data that could be sold for advertisers, on top of Nintendo’s own built-in telemetry that’s also sent
• Patreon marketing is heavily focused on games that broke street day release date, and even when they show some “restraint” it’s just a release day post how much better the game runs on a platform that’s not the Nintendo Switch, in the same launch period where most sales happen
• Progress reports timed suspiciously close to major Nintendo first-party releases
• ATTEMPTED to make a competitor to the Switch Online service, using files from an external preservation group, and it would have been a PAID service, and the subscription MORE EXPENSIVE than Nintendo’s actual service (it was $60 something) despite smaller compatibility, for games still online, as a CLOSED-SOURCE FORK of a GPL PROJECT so that players don’t actually set up their own custom servers to avoid paying Yuzu’s pittance. When there was backlash, they REMOVED all traces of online emulation after they couldn’t profit off it.

I’m looking in to this, thank you!

Edit: Molly (UnifiedPush) isn’t something I can reasonably expect friends and family to set up.

Please note that to receive notifications, you will need to set up a server to run MollySocket, available on https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket.

You need the right flavor of Molly to use UnifiedPush: https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android-unifiedpush. You can install MollySocket via: Docker/Podman: docker pull ghcr.io/mollyim/mollysocket:latest Crates.io: cargo install mollysocket (see INSTALL.md for the setup) Direct download: https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket/releases (see INSTALL.md for the setup) A distributor app (easiest is ntfy) You can optionally install your own push server like ntfy or NextPush. For beginners, you can use a free service like ntfy.sh (do consider donating if you have the means).

At some point, Android is reading the message to generate the quick replies that were showing in the notification. They’re content-aware and this is not a function of Signal; if someone sent me a question, there were “yes” and “no” quick replies. If someone sent that they were going to be late, there were quick replies like “That’s OK”, etc.

With Signal’s default settings, Google reads your Signal messages when they come in through push notifications.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: For those in doubt, last year, I started seeing content-aware auto-reply options in my Signal message notifications; that is not a function of Signal, but a function of Google’s Android. One could escape it by using a de-Googled Android like Lineage or Graphene, or by hiding the message content (which is not the Signal default) and would surely hurt Signal’s adoption, when you have to unlock the app to read each message.

“Off course!” (I want to continue in the Battle Square)

I saw this version going around.

Nope, Debian releases are all named after Toy Story characters.

Wait until they find out that an entire subtheme of the show is mutants discovering how to coexist with those who would have them subjugated for being different…
