Tetris
  • A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn't even keep score originally.

  • Anon is chasing an old high
  • We know what is possible today. When these old games were new they were quite frankly cutting edge and pioneering what was possible.

    You don't achieve that today even with the most dedicated adherence to retro limitations.

  • Don't make me come over there
  • I also see people blame Stalin for his decision to suppress the Hungarian revolution. You know. In 1956.

    Internet comments aren't academia. Most of the time it's just confessionals through another lens.

  • Blahaj's lack of rules invites criticism
  • People like PugJesus think they're controlling corruption. PugJesus is a transphobe, the specific decisions he thinks are abuse aren't. But people like him don't have the ability to read Ada's mind, so she's got to explain it to every single one of them or they'll all start rumours about what the secret rules of Blahaj are. And Blahaj certainly does have secret rules. They're the rules of how Ada thinks. And everyone is interested in knowing them, since she won't explain them.

    There it is. I'm pretty convinced this is either someone from one of his discord channels or actually him under another alt.

    The DGGers have been flailing recently.

  • Blahaj's lack of rules invites criticism
  • They have a three week old account. I think one of those banned people has not let it go, so I am willing to bet OP is an alt of someone who really wants blahaj to make some clearly defined rules.

    You know. Gates for them to keep.

  • Blahaj's lack of rules invites criticism
  • I do feel sorry for instance administrators that get roped into the moderation decisions of communities. Instances should provide very broad and strict rules meant to keep the system running and out of legal liability. It doesn't need to be so specific about content.

    It is communities and their mod teams (who not bound by the instance) to operate within that framework to set and enforce rules for content moderation.

    But FWIW at least one of those prominent bans a bit ago were WELL aware of why they were banned. They intentionally went to get banned to spark a debate on the rules and specifically to draw the instance admin into it.

  • What's the next thing you have to buy or do for your home?
  • Outside: replace collapsing retaining wall of railroad ties with ecology blocks. (Reuse railtoad ties to line planters and walk path.) This is tied with fixing a collapsing fence panel.

    Inside: Tossup between getting an electrician to troubleshoot chronically flickering lights in the master bathroom and closet, and getting the atticspace finished so the garage ceases to be perpetual overflow storage space.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Downloaded Kernkraft 400 off Morpheus and the file name omitted the 'e' from the band and I thought that was neat when I was registering a handle to play a Half Life mod.

    And then name. Because creative.

    Been using it since.

  • Bernie Sanders' Letter to the Secretary of Education
  • Generally these letters don't have a limit or threshold on signatures. There were 38 readily available senators who wanted to sign the letter. This doesn't have any procedural meaning other than an office sending a letterhead to another.

    Any senators missing from the letter can now publically address it to reference their stance, or perhaps they've already made public statements on the matter.
