Also, Barack was President at the time, so this is a perplexing news story.

I think 40 - 60 makes more sense. 30 would be the age that someone would be too early in their career to rule a country. If that person has risen to a position that they would be considered for president by 30, the chance of them getting to that position without significant nepotism is too low.

Ah thank you, seems like he knows as much bash as me!

I'm not very good at bash at all. I was hoping someone would explain what he's trying to say to me.

I feel that "found at" wouldn't be a terminal printout followed by the home reference, but he's saying the woke mond virus is on the device?

Is he saying it's a program that "deleted" the ability to "rm -rf"? Why would removing files (recursively and forced) be something it would do? Why would the options -rf be there? Wouldn't it be enough to delete the rm binary?

Traceroute woke mind virus, is woke mind virus an IP address or something? I thought it was a program based on the above lines. He's expecting to find the route to the woke mind virus IP address with this command?

What is Elon saying?

I think you're the most correct person here.

OP, it's your life and relationships. Of course people on the internet will tell you to pull the trigger on the nuclear option, because they don't experience any of the fallout of you making a hardline decision.

I'm not saying go to the wedding. I'm just saying consider how it might affect your relationship with him and the rest of your immediate family and decide if that's going to be a better situation overall, before acting.

I haven't thought too deep about my desire for the industry to push to indie, but this was an interesting read.

Another point that I've thought though, is that marketing budgets are insanely high in AAA in order to cut through the noise of the rest of social media.

I would imagine that if EA or whoever was pumping out 10 times as many games, they would need to share that marketing budget equally. The chance for cut-through for each game would be small and many of the projects wouldn't even make financial sense compared to putting bets on a smaller number of the bigger budget games. The game release cadence would be really confusing and noisy, with people not knowing what is worth playing.

Very much agree with the last point about games being profitable as fuck. It should be enough that the industry is making shed loads of money above cost without the need to increase shareholder value every quarter by cutting jobs.

I wonder how much of the ballooning cost of AAA budgets are due to losing technical expertise by staff turnover/churn? I can't imagine that creates an atmosphere of efficiency.

I think I just wanted to mention arrested development lol. It being a smart, well-written show about very dumb people

Ah true I haven't heard of him! Love to hear about autodidact geniuses.

Yeah, I have a sub atm while I work through some games. It's in a good place right now (compared to a couple of years ago), but I'll probably drop it in a month or two.

Just wondering what a rough split is of people using either Usenet, torrents, or both?

I've only just discovered Usenet and while it is paid, it is very cheap and much more convenient than torrents.

Using torrents as well with the *arr suite set up for my various Linux ISOs.

 

I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?
