I thought you were talking about Crusader Kings III

Local photo shops (yes, this city has a few) all sell albums and have print services and I think one of them even develops films (weekly, not really in a hour).

We also used to have a service where you could mail in film rolls and they develop and print and scan them. (Ran into a few floppies and CDs from them recently. Nostalgia blast.) They're still in business! Though they just offer "Download our photo album design software and turn your photos into epic printed albums (or whatever)" sort of services.

(Ironically, read this post just as I was scanning 35mm negatives)

The sign on the door reads "Execution Chamber"

"We're gonna see some serious shit. ...Wait, this is a bit too serious."

I'm in Finland. Over here every summer there's always some streets that are being repaved or major public service buildings that gets closed due to "renovations". Ha, I know that's just a government cover-up. They don't want us to know about the looting gangs who apparently have access to stealth technology!

I'm like, oh honey, we used to be able to do all this stuff. We had software for this. We had services in the web. Actually, I think we still do - hold on...

*looking at the national public transport route planning site*

*vague gesturing* this is peak technology and none of the AI bros have apparently heard of this shit, because they don't use public transport.

The Web used to cater to the niche services, until Big Tech rolled in, and now they try to replace it with patently inferior solutions.

Unfortunately, Super Mario Bros. isn't exactly a turtle-friendly game. If you took advice from a turtle game, you'd go "oh it's just a little water. turtles could walk through that easily."

People will no longer laugh at the term "military intelligence" for the obvious irony. Now, they'll say "remember when the military tried to use artificial intelligence? ha ha what a disaster"

I wasn't able to see this on my phone. Almost gave up hope. But. HOLY CRAP. Re-watching the LGR video on my desktop monitor and I can see the stuff again! So.... thanks, I guess!

I was there when gmail was invented
Was there during the invitation period
Someone picked my preferred name
I ended up with a kinda dumb name
Didn't matter much, because my primary email is a redirect, anyway, and gmail still lets me use those (kudos to them)
Google came up with Google Code (and other services) where your public gmail address is your identity
Nope, fuck off
Glad they died. Shame Github got eaten by Microsoft, but, eh...
Google hasn't really been good at letting people specify their identity, ever since
Yes, this is also a transgender user story, why do you ask?

Tried various distances, that didn't help too much. I'm afraid I have to hold to the theory that I'm officially old now and need bifocals.

It used double- and even triple-pointers to data structures

(old song, to the tune of My Favourite Things)

🎶 "Pointers to pointers to pointers to strings,
this code does some rather unusual things...!" 🎶
