Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).

How would financing these projects work? Would taxation be on a street level, too? Are you willing to pay for everything that your street needs? A new traffic light or fixing pitholes sounds cheap, but it does get expensive as you scale up. I had to replace four 5x5-foot squares of sidewalk in front of my house a few years ago, and it cost me $5k. Imagine how much it would cost to re-pave a road for an entire block.

Voting purely for your own self-interest is also a double-edged sword. How sure are you that your neighbors will vote to pay for fixing a ruptured pipe that is next to your house if it doesn’t impact theirs? I once lived in a condo that had a leaky roof over my apartment alone, and the remaining 20+ units kept voting against paying to fix it literally for years. That’s one building. You mtiply that by a.few hundred buildings on a given street, and absolutely nothing will get done, ever.

Vi for me too. Mostly because I’m trapped and cannot exit it.

I guess not much has changed in the nazi Hungary since WW2.

“We’re in code freeze, so no more changes are to be committed until release! Also, the management needs this change to be fast-tracked to be included with the release, so let’s make it happen, people!”

They may not have a siberian orchestra, by they do have a teen chapel.

Wait 5 second, they will tell you.

But Russia isn’t going to deal with the agreement

I’m pretty sure Putin is gonna have to deal with it.

Putin was elected too.

…

Bwahahahah! Sorry, almost made it through with a straight face.

I have a whole separate list for arcade games.

• Mortal Kombat (including only 1, 2, and 3. Hated 4 with a passion.)
• Virtua Fighter 2
• Killer Instinct 1 and 2
• Marvel Vs. Capcom
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo
• X-Men (1992 side scroller)
• NBA Jam
• Tekken 3
• Daytona USA (really reaching here)
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (struggling to get the list to 10)

I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:

• Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
• EarthSiege 2
• EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I’m counting the trilogy as a single game)
• X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
• Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
• Cities: Skylines
• Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
• Battlefield 1942

No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P

[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!

Those videos were not anti-FOSS. It was an honest look into the state of gaming on Linux that even the experts begrudgingly agreed with. If you listen to Linus’ personal views on Linux, he’s rooting for an alternative to Windows and Mac.

Well true, the engine may be good for 300k miles. But if it sits parked all the time, the body will rust long before you get to “fully use” it.

Driving it, believe it or not. Even a car that’s used to commute to work every day still sits parked most of the day.

DDG was working earlier today, but for the past hour it just throws an error “There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.”

AGPL, self-hosted, high feature parity with GPhotos. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/

SpaceInvader One channel on YT has several guides on installing the server on UnRaid and migrating your photo library from Google Photos. https://youtu.be/krAZcUIP3YE and https://youtu.be/LtNWxxM5Mzg

Louis Rossmann recently brought a lot of attention to it by offering the developers a grant via his FUTO org. https://youtu.be/uyTPqxgqgjU

Immich has excellent face detection, as well as search capabilities built-in that can be assisted with locally or remote run ML. https://immich.app/docs/guides/remote-machine-learning/

I’ve been running it for a couple of months. It’s under active development, but I personally feel that it’s stable and at a good enough place to be a full replacement of Google Photos. In fact, I turned off all uploads to Google in their Photos app, and rely on Immich auto-uploading to my server instead. Of course that means having a robust (preferably off-site) backup and disaster recovery plan.

Treats servers badly. Both in restaurants and in IT infrastructure.

Oh absolutely, it’s just an ad for Proton products. That doesn’t make the point about degoogling any less relevant.

What are the alternatives though? Self-hosting an email server is practically impossible because spam detection will block you on every turn.

I also choose this guy’s dead wife.

Good advice. Take it up a notch. Why bother going to another country first? Just shoot yourself in the head before being sent to the front lines.
