Ah yes, I suppose there's that, and I've been running the really old games on Dosbox too.

Isreal soldiers have been doing a fair amount of fighting over the years too, including the last decade. Maybe each soldier on average isn't the hardened vet the average Ukranian soldier is now, but the amount of instituional knowledge IDF has is not to be sneered at.

It definitely is a political play, like you said. More support from Israel for Ukraine, and maybe less support to Russia. I believe Israel is maintaining some nominal relation to Russia due to their histories.

I'm in Singapore, it's stupid easy to run and start a business (I've helped with a few startups myself). Doesn't translate to better paying jobs, let me tell you that.

I think that's how some creators do get paid. Large enough channels will get some form of revenue sharing from YouTube. That's why when a video is demonetised the creators get very upset. As is when YT does some fuckery with their algorithms and their views plummet.

Mind, the rates keep getting worse, from what I hear. Hence more and more pateron and in-video promos, it's a better and more stable source of income.

I really cannot stand this shit, I remember back in school we had to have approved hairstyles and uniform rules, it was all bs to me. None of that really had any corelation to how good a student was.

Yea, but the cost of having FB acquire your data doesn't feel so... worth it? I'm not completely privacy-focused like many on the fediverse but I do view it as a trade-off, and at US$500 the trade-off no longer feels warranted.

Was thinking about the HP Reverb G2, it's a little more expensive than the Quest 3, last I checked.

Don't see a need, basically. What games require XP though? So far all my old games still work on 10.

At least they got theirs. They should be feeling pretty good about their chances now at least! Hope they get the home they want.

This is starting to really get on my nerves, and I feel like discourse on the fediverse is worse; basically the attitude is that if it's not FOSS and self-hosted, it's shite. That attitude is fucking grating for the rest of us.

Realised it's not that cheap, US$500? Feels like it's at a price point where I could spend a couple of hundred more and not get Meta involved. Made more sense when it was US$300.

This is definitely giving me flashbacks during my time in the corporate world. There was one report that was replete with copy and pasting, the poor lady who used to do it apparently had to pull all-nighters doing it. I rebuilt everything in Access using some SQL and the new process only took 15 minutes to run.
