GTA 3 homebrew port for the Switch, made possible by reverse engineering using the debug symbols accidentally left in the original PS2 binaries.

also they reverse engineered the renderware library that all the PS2 GTA games used, as did a ton of other games.

I can't find Hat Stall 2!

Yes! This is what I've been on about when I say that the barriers Linux/FOSS/etc. faces are cultural. He really gets at it from every angle https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=87&v=9-IWMbJXoLM&feature=emb_title

just gonna leave this sql query here in case anyone else needs to work around the moderation interface's lack of ability to answer the question "who here follows who on that instance"

SELECT a1.username, a2.username FROM follows JOIN accounts a1 ON a1.id=target_account_id JOIN accounts a2 ON a2.id=account_id WHERE a1.domain='example.com';

"...in my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

* Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
* Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
* There is no 3.

"... At this point, I assume Mozilla's voice on the standards committees has all the world-trembling gravitas of "EFF writes amicus brief.""

Article on NPR says that we're losing trillions of dollars to racism and all I have to say is we deserve it.

We arrested Miles Davis outside of the club he was playing at, with his name on the marquee.

We made Jim Crow laws. We've jailed leaders and murdered people who we retroactively said had it coming to them.

Racism is destroying this country, and the cost is more than financial. And we probably won't even believe that report. We'll call it junk because someone forgot a comma.

Major publishers are a major pain in the ass to libraries when it comes to eBooks:

"86% of the ebooks from that list have to be repurchased on a regular basis, most commonly after 24 months, even if the book is never checked out."

"The average price of an ebook that has to be repurchased is $49.48."

Publishers are he fucking worst with their eBooks and libraries are taking it in the chin.
