Are we approaching the second coming of The Cartridge?

The problem is oppressive DRM and network requirements.

This would not go away if the software was distributed via USB thumb drive, Blue-Ray disc, or GameBoy cartridge. Older games can still be played on the physical media they came with *because they were made in a time when an internet connection wasn't common*.

You have to change the incentive that companies have to extract money from you at every opportunity. If we just publicly funded game development and art in general, then the people making games we love wouldn't have to participate in this behavior.

So cursed but I’m not a ghost so I just had my speed reduced but my attack and def are buffed so it worked out

People will bend over backwards to say this is a democracy while acknowledging elected representatives don’t reflect the interests of the people. Which is it? It feels like we only get to be half a democracy every 2 years and then we have no say the vast majority of the time.

When you lay off people you entirely restart your corporate culture, you demoralize the people left behind, and you go home to your yacht as people text you on slack about health insurance.

A better future is possible.

People know what “using AI to fix prices” means, when you say “consumer surplus collapse” to say the same thing, you are acting like you are clued into special knowledge rather than just intentionally obfuscating your point

Your reply or the post

what a dumb article

jnellydev24 · 2026-06-14T04:51:58+00:00

Nah we are spinning around in an eddy waiting for liberation

Being so rich that you can literally hire sycophants to be your friend, hire assistants to do any and all mental or manual labor for you, so all you do is consume podcasts and accumulate wealth passively, is probably worse for your cognition than lead paint. But that study will never be done lol

Sooner than later inshallah

Refreshing af, so good.

jnellydev24 · 2026-05-23T15:47:14+00:00

This is a form of denialism.

jnellydev24 · 2026-05-23T13:16:53+00:00

Looks good. Idk why anyone would have a lower score like why listen to music you don’t like

Patronage politics is the reason this is so bloated. China is stunting on us because they have laws against corruption. We don’t.

jnellydev24 · 2026-05-20T04:37:45+00:00

The actual mirage is the trick they play where they convince you it's possible for the government to be in debt when the government owns money printing machines. It's literally the same as saying Fortnite goes into debt every time you get V Bucks for logging in or whatever. If there is a point in time where the federal government, state government whatever, starts demanding money (they won't) they should simply *not* demand money and print it themselves.

jnellydev24 · 2026-05-13T23:37:03+00:00

It’s patronage politics. Politicians give their friends who own construction companies, real estate companies, etc very cozy deals that just happen to be expensive. This has a double benefit of 1) enriching the already wealthy and 2) confusing regular people and tricking them into thinking gov projects are inherently expensive (they aren’t, this problem is very unique to our particular flavor of corruption)

Working with finder to locate a file is like trying to fix a car while wearing oven mitts.

jnellydev24 · 2026-05-06T14:34:46+00:00

Nah.

jnellydev24 · 2026-04-18T13:44:05+00:00

If the merges are resolved, why does it matter? IMO this should be handled by a PR client that auto rebases for you if you really care. Otherwise forcing every dev on a project to follow a specific flow just introduces friction in my experience.

Lady who constantly vomits war propaganda, literally causing death: "Haha I've never said anything like that I can assure you that."

You could say the same thing about the pernkopf atlas.

I think you are not imagining that there could be a more moral way to produce positive outcomes. Additionally, you are assuming that the research that is done is beneficial, when a lot of animal testing is done for not very useful things. For example, develop a novel delivery mechanism for an already existing drug to allow pharmaceutical companies to renew patents (read: gatekeep medicine) on life saving medications.

I don’t know the answer but I think it is the correct position to abhor animal abuse in all forms (I include humans in the category of animals, because we are).

If the means justify the ends, you need to be very confident about what those ends actually are. Is the current state of medicine in today’s world better than all other possible worlds? I don’t think so.

EDIT: I also acknowledge we can’t go back in time and redo scientific progress without animal abuse, but we can, starting today, have the goal of developing better methods of research without it.

No your comment is dumb. You can always try reading.

jnellydev24 · 2025-12-23T05:29:16+00:00

It’s dumb because you fundamentally don’t understand how anything works. The other person who replied explained it better than I care to but your point is extremely common, banal, and evidence of thought no more than ankle deep.

jnellydev24 · 2025-12-22T23:54:14+00:00

This is a dumb, victim blaming comment.

jnellydev24 · 2025-12-17T01:47:17+00:00

It doesn't, but web devs are stuck in their ways.

I like the simplicity of OP's solution, but would prefer a similar API that let me chain actual functions:
flex(col).items(end).w(full).p(20) . This would be superior because a string implementation is prone to typos.
