  • It's the year of the Linux desktop.

  • Back when AAA game developing was a fun process

  • It is of course to good a story to be true:

    In 2018, a faked snapshot of a UESP page was shared online which falsely stated that, during production of Morrowind, Kirkbride was found under the influence of psychoactive drugs by Todd Howard after being absent from work, paired with a photograph it claimed was taken by Howard of the incident.[49] In truth, no such UESP page ever existed; the story is a fabrication.[49] The image was taken from a music video, fat, that Kirkbride had filmed and uploaded to YouTube in 2013, many years after his time working on Morrowind (the video depicts Kirkbride lethargically overeating as Wesley Willis' I'm Sorry That I Got Fat plays).[50] Lady Nerevar said of the video's misuse, "If you told me that a dumb video we made for fun was going to generate a wholeass conspiracy theory that real life people would ask me about [...] None of that happened in any way, shape, or form".

    With regard to the hoax and exaggerated accounts of his writing The 36 Lessons of Vivec, Kirkbride said "You know that comes from a Photoshopped image, right? [...] that’s all a lie. I’ve already given an account of how the 36 [Lessons] were written: a week of bourbon, smokes, and solitude."[52] Kirkbride has repeatedly refuted internet myths that he used recreational drugs[52][53][54][55] and has said that the myths annoy him "more than a little bit".[56] Related rumors that he was dismissed from the company are likewise unfounded; Kirkbride left Bethesda for Zenimax's studio in California,[1] remained involved in the production of Morrowind after leaving the studio,[25] and continued to contribute to subsequent titles.[1][5][9][11]

  • Perfect synopsis. Thank you.

  • Just learned that China owns most of the cobalt mines in the DRC.

  • Of course all of the other "China is imperialist" claims are bullshit

    Of course.

  • Ist es rechtlich möglich, eine Flagge des dritten Reichs vor einer AfD Landeszentrale zu verbrennen?

    Jump

  • Schwierig, weil durch §86a StGB geregelt ist das die Flagge nicht verwendet werden darf. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/86a.html

    Allerdings gibt es Ausnahmen:

    (4) Die Absätze 1 und 2 gelten nicht, wenn die Handlung der staatsbürgerlichen Aufklärung, der Abwehr verfassungswidriger Bestrebungen, der Kunst oder der Wissenschaft, der Forschung oder der Lehre, der Berichterstattung über Vorgänge des Zeitgeschehens oder der Geschichte oder ähnlichen Zwecken dient.

    In wie weit die Verbrennung der Flagge unter diesen Absatz fällt, kann ich nicht beurteilen.

  • Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.

  • IMHO sport is a misnomer. "Game" seems more fitting to me.

  • I have nothing to hide, why should I care about privacy?

  • When people in conversations tell me they've got nothing to hide, I routinely ask them for their bank details.

    Signal is Private. Why do people think so?

  • Why does Signal need my phone number?

    Signal is subject to National Security Letters in the U.S.

    Signal received funding from Radio Free Asia owned by the U.S. Agency for Global Media with ties to the CIA.

    They seem to have a history of needing quite some time to release the server source code.

    Here are some articles to read about Signal:

  • Stray.

  • What to know about Threads

    Jump

  • IMHO knowing one thing is enough: It's Meta. That's enough information to never use it. They're interested in collecting and selling your data. Threads is not the product, the users are.

  • Wonder how long it will take for the "Average Joe" to care about these things

  • This the dystopia we chose for ourselves.

  • Das steckt hinter den Dogs of BND

  • IMHO nur peinlich. Das einzig Positive daran ist, dass man sich über die Weltfremdheit und die hoffentlich nicht nur scheinbare Inkompetenz des BNDs lustig machen kann.

  • That's why sports channels are much more expensive than everything else. It's harder to pirate live sports events. FKN corpos made it impossible for my parents to watch Wimbledon.

    LLMs like ChatGPT are not intelligent. They're just regurgitating information, making them susceptible to spreading misinformation like a fake moonlanding.
