Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.

Want a fun piece of trivia? Epic Pinball launched Digital Extremes, the developer behind Warframe.

It doesn’t allow for any use of your data. It allows for use of your data to do the things you ask it to do. That permission is implied by you asking it to do something, but it isn’t explicitly stated.

The AI clause is conditional. It only applies if you use the AI features.

The game prints enough money that they could afford to have a writing staff and illustration team. I think the idea is that building character depth will make a subset of players more connected to them. This keeps them playing and also increases the odds of them buying a skin for the character.

It’s similar to the Meet The ______ videos from TF2 and the comics that built on them.

That’s likely true, but we can write a fair contract that allows for that.

1. A pay rate for the time spent recording, slightly lower than the normal rate
2. A pay rate per minute of generated vocal content using user telemetry. For users that opt out of sharing, pay out based on averages applied against their total playtime.

Linux Mint uses GPL2 LibreOffice uses MPL 2

Those are licenses for you to use the software. They aren’t licenses for the software maintainer to use your information.

There’s an important fact you may not know: Politicians often have no understanding of things they are regulating. Why is this important? A future privacy law could easily be written such that a browser doing browser things (like submitting a comment on an unrelated website) could be construed as the maintainer using user data. They are getting ahead of that possibility by requiring that you give them permission to do the things you want them to do.

In case you haven’t seen it, Tom7 created a delightful exploration of using an LLM to manipulate word counts.

Don’t use a mist humidifier. They suck. Use an evaporative one and add bacteriostat to the water.

Mine is a tub of water with a wick in it. It has a fan that blows air across the wick. That’s it.

That was a wonderful ride.

TL;DR: In the late 1800’s, a need for machine-assisted engraving developed. A font was created in tandem with an engraving machine. Over the next hundred years, a huge portion of engraving machines came with something related to this font by default.

It’s the ancestor of many technical drawing fonts because early lettering guides were made using these engravers. It’s the basis for many classic keyboard caps and typewriter keys. It’s on every nametag from the 1930s to 1990s. But most of all, if you wanted a durable sign and weren’t a graphic designer, it’s what you got for most of the last century.

The other dev/wife did QA and part of the mapping. It’s a bit hard to finish a game without your programmer/designer.

Your description of Taco Time captures it perfectly. It should be their slogan.

They are very high on my list of things I miss from Washington.

The handheld PC market is still small. Nobody else in the digital space has taken it seriously yet.

If you look at iOS, you’ll see what I’m talking about. It’s effectively two products, a piece of hardware and a digital store. To beat it, you have to beat both the hardware and the store at the same time. It took the entire mobile hardware industry forming an alliance with one of the largest software companies in the world to even try to compete with it.

If SteamOS comes to dominate the handheld market, I could see them being forced to make an API so that other stores like Epic and GOG can have the same quality of integration in the non-desktop interface.

If you have two products that are both the best at their respective thing and you tightly integrate them, it makes it incredibly difficult for a competitor to match you. That is abusing a monopoly in each space to benefit the other.

Adding to this, some of the AIRCARE humidifiers are just a plastic tub, a wick that sits in it, and a lid with a fan. You’d have to break the tub to leak water.

Jesus was born in the spring, not the winter. Christmas is an adaptation of northern winter festivities and they slapped a Christian justification on it.
