I asked my alter ego whether that definition of socialism was right and he said that I should ask my other alter ego, who said that this looks shopped, but couldn't confirm for some reason, so he went on to ask one of his sockpuppet imaginary friends whether this was true and came back with a slap to my face.

So, there you have it, slap on my face/true

You feel yes about this

I wonder what was Hamas' plan to carry out the attack. I'm sure they fully expected Israel to go all out against the Palestinian people, but they probably misjudged how much Israel would care about or be held back by the international reaction. I guess bibi realized that, since none of the western leaders actually cares, he's free to raze everything (like the preemptive attacks on the new Syrian govt)

It now costs $1 to buy everything that a billionaire owns

True, it should not matter, but it did. Because of that, it's perfectly valid to ask what it was and why it triggered the automated security response.

I'd argue that Microsoft is worse than its users

One fungus will eventually manage to mind control the crabs, like some already do with ants.

So why do companies keep racing to make the thinnest phones?

Because Steve Jobs' ghost still haunts and demands all designs to be as anti consumer as possible

4.7" screen is the ideal size for me. Big enough to see anything clearly, small enough that I can comfortably reach anything in the screen with one hand

 
 

I always enjoy the humor in these official artworks

 

Which is somewhat ironic, because I know that "sit and just do it" is the ideal start. Think less about choosing, just pick it up and go.

But I end up spending more time looking up things and getting excited about them.

LOVE2D? Oooh, it's lua! It can even run on Android! DragonRuby? Oooh, simple and lightweight and fast! Oh wait, Godot just had a new update! Hey, maybe I should get back to programming Java, libGDX looks neat! Damn, Raylib feels like it does many things right! And on it goes...

I overwhelm myself with choices, start a bit then abandon at the second hard-ish hurdle (like menu/interface showing under the map despite lots of fiddling with the Z position, in Godot). So, yeah, just exposing my problem, I suspect I'm not alone in this.

 

From the page:

A curated list of references for development of DOS applications and learning about the system itself. This includes list of compilers, tutorials, videos, links to free and paid books and source code to DOS games. The goal of this list is to collect information and act as a starting point for someone who wants to start out retro-programming for the DOS platform.

 
 

Or, put it another way, a html renderer that can open most web pages, but has a different programming/scripting language that it can interpret during runtime or on page loads, instead of the javascript engine.

I suppose that java applets, flash and activeX were attempts in these directions, but they were things you had to install on top of the browsers, so not quite the same thing? I'm imagining something like web pages using Lua, since it's lightweight, to make them dynamic.

 
 

I'm looking up for communities or scenes whose purpose is making games that you play from bootup. Not necessarily boot sector games (stuff that has to fit in 512 bytes), but things that would behave much like cartridges in old consoles, where the hardware boots straight into the game.

Put another way, games that "are the OS", either for x86 or ARM. My search engine-fu didn't manage to find anything other than boot sector games and several Batocera guides.

 

I learned "pure" JS back in 2013, when HTML5 was brand new, and I still don't get most of the stuff going on nowadays.

 

Since everyone is all about old memes, though I don't think this one ever was one

 

For those that just want the music

That's the joke. You can laugh now.
