you pay money to appear as a different sprite with shiny particles around it. important distinction, of course.

and iddqd costs ten bucks to unlock, but it's part of a lootbox with all the other cheat codes in it

we'd still be on the pentium pro by now. but imagine all the Doom clones we could have!

.george is a pretty funny one. apparently Walmart owns it, so you probably won't be able to register a .george domain any time soon.

do companies even use these in the wild or are they buying these TLDs for nothing? ".brother", ".canon", ".nokia", ".panasonic", ".playstation", ".xbox", ".xerox"... there's even ".sandvikcoromant", which is some sort of Swedish metalwork company.

Nitter[0] seems to support it still, although it seems unmaintained - not sure how stable it is by this point. if you self host this, you should probably use burner account tokens, anti-botting measures might decide to shut down your X/twitter account

you could self-host your own rss reader on a server & set it up to automatically update the feeds in the background every now and then, and just check on it whenever you want to read what's new. freshrss seems to be the popular choice.

there's also some subscription services that seem to do the same thing, but i have no experience with them.

i've got possible good news for you then, there's a project that adds a translation layer between the two server protocols[0]. it has some limitations dealing with the different quirks and features that differ between both games[1], but it looks like everything else works fine. you could try that out if you find it to be a better option than wrangling with windows updates

as for VR, there's a third party mod for java[2], i tried it a couple years back and it felt pretty smooth, had no issues with it, but i don't have a point of reference to compare it to bedrock VR because i never tried it

any particular reason you're on bedrock instead of java? don't you get both versions when you buy the game? i bought mine when java was the only version and i think they gave me bedrock for free when that came out. or is it because of the lack of crossplay? just curious

you might want to check out carla[0], it's difficult to find when looking up vst hosts, you have to get past a couple "unbiased" top 5 list sites & outdated ones without vst3 support still being recommended, but it's the one that's brought me the least issues (expect one or two crashes setting it up anyway). seems it's made for linux first but i've had no (big) issues running it on windows so far. you will need to download third party vsts for every effect fl studio usually implements out of the box

ironically, making linux users consider sailing the high seas for actual 4k rips instead of actually paying for the service just to get blocky low bitrate 720p content. so this piracy prevention not only creates more potential pirates, but makes paying customers' lives harder while not affecting the aforementioned pirates, who can now watch it at 4k on any device or program they wish

why do you think you have any say over others' rights? using that same logic, you know what? i think you're going to steal my phone. so do you mind if i sacrifice your rights and install a camera right in your room? wouldn't want you to plot the theft of my phone now would i

i could be wrong but you should be able to solder/connect the battery contacts to the output of a power supply at the same voltage as the battery you're replacing and just have it plugged into the wall or a UPS, but not sure if the battery manager would still think the battery is being spent and freak out after getting to 0%

can't wait for ai juries, 12 different ai models by different companies & they all have to reach the same conclusion, but one of them is a 300m parameter 2 bit quantized model and keeps hallucinating, causing an eternal hung jury
