I still can't believe that movie got made.

Wait, let me clarify that. I still can't believe THAT movie got made.

Thank you for being you :)

Don't think anyone is saying it doesn't work. Context here specifically is that many people hate having to do it.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What "indigenous" person do you think is depicted here...?

Edit: original comment said this was about a "colonist" and an "indigenous person".

Not a slave either.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It wasn't. It was a term - frequently sarcastic eventually, as in this cartoon - used to describe the "noble" behaviors of southerners.

Here's an article from the time on it, talking about how the rumored "southern chivalry" was anything but: https://www.historians.org/teaching-and-learning/teaching-resources-for-historians/sixteen-months-to-sumter/newspaper-index/new-haven-daily-palladium/southern-chivalry

As someone else.mentioned, a form of it became "southern hospitality" and survived, usually in the complimentary way.

I'm being a little technical, but I think it's important. He/she would have been either an ex-slave, or a child of slaves, or just in general an African most likely. But definitely not "a slave".

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe, but I don't think so, at least not directly. I can't find a source, though.

I just think the concept of Knights and Arthurian stuff was popular, and they just both came from the same general popular ideas, instead of one coming from the other.

Delete it for them?

Uh huh

I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.

A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that's kind of a weird way to think about it.

Thanks for your efforts Elias!

4.0.x wasn't great but it was used pretty heavily.

It'll be slightly interesting to see it, and I'm not sure a more "popular" version like 5.0 would be much more interesting.

I'm curious about releasing 6.0 or 6.2, which MS was forced to recall because they "stole" some technology and put it in DOS. Although part thatd be interesting would be any damning code comments.

It might cause a couple of minor revelations if/when the source is finally opened

Isn't the whole post about it being opened? It's released: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I...don't think that's true. Or the reason why.

Anyone doing, say, OS development, sure.

I think he was genuinely better back then too.

Not great - in a ton of ways - but way better.

Something snapped 4 or so years ago and all his worst parts have been getting progressively worse.

So, jailtime then.

For now. That's also being killed in favor of the web app.

The early 2000s stuff did end up having some significant effects that lasted for decades.

They've 100% forgotten all about that or think it won't happen again in the last few years, though.

I drop the rock on their head intentionally because dammit, I'm trying to save the world. Quit making me go through the bullshit to get seeds; do something to help me already. Knock it off!

Otherwise I don't do anything negative to them or enjoy torturing them. I am at a point where I just skip the lazy "find my friend" guys, though, unless they're on my way and close.

God damn it, now that banger will be in my head for hours

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

Wait, Rogue Leader was Lucasarts and Factor 5. EA didn't have anything to do with it, did they?

It's pretty typical that you're getting downvoted for not crying 100% gloom about every possible thing.

Despite their quality problems and the fact that we hate them now, they're generally not Whittier.

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

That really is one of the most ridiculous parts. Even if your team is local, a huuuge amount of interaction is spread across tbe globe.

Its good for at least confirming the physical links between your system and your home network and the ISP are good.

ripcord ,

Yes

There's even a link to it at the top of the article and it's mentioned in the summary of this post

Yep!

I use it on FF mobile and desktop all the time, for the last 6 months or so. It is great.

Its also inferring his friend is being truthful when he said that's what the guy said.

Is that what happened...?

I mean, ask a stupid question...

OK, but that's a pretty big difference from hiring a hitman to explicitly murder him.

Yes, it is different.

No one is saying Boeing execs shouldn't be prosecuted.

But this whole thread is about assuming the worst based on half info, why would they stop when you're saying something they don't like?

ripcord ,

wow good one

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

No, there's been several others, like this guy

Probably would have happened if it was going to.
