Ad hominem and gaslighting much?

The actual issue is that a payment processors should NOT be able to dictate HOW a payment is to be used. What's next, banning purchases over books? movies? Payment processors should NOT be arbitrators of morality.

You DO realize that adult games are hidden by default AND you need to be logged in to see them, right?

Indeed. Popularity is a shitty metric.

By Stack Overflow's "Logic" then McDonalds must be #1 because BILLIONS are served.

Popularity != Quality. i.e. Javascript, Python, and PHP are clusterfucks of bad design.

Customers don't care what language you implemented the solution in -- they just want shit to work.

> the CG actors will be indistinguishable from human actors.

Given that this video is already 5 years old, The Deeper Metrics of Christmas, Deep Fake Poem by Impressionist Jim Meskimen, I'd say we are already past the uncanny valley.

I could see a day that SteamOS runs natively on PCs. Linux under the hood, Proton on top to run Windows games.

It isn't that hard to solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's cube. It just takes some practice and some algorithms.

Technically you only need to learn a single algorithm: R U R' U'.

But it is best to learn at least T-Perm and Ja-Perm.

Alternatively, there is also the Old Pochman Method for solving a cube blindfolded:

For corners
* Altered Y Permutation: (R U' R' U') R U R' F' (R U R' U') R' F R

For Edges
* J Permutation: (R U R' F') (R U R' U') R' F R2 (U' R' U')
* T Permutation: (R U R' U') R' F R2 (U' R' U' R) U R' F'

> I don't understand why more people don't use ergonomic keyboards.

Is that the one with the shitty diamond cursor keys? Yeah, that one was utter garbage.

Most ergonomic keyboards SUCK for multiple reasons:

* Touch quality is EXTREMELY subjective.
* The separation of left and right isn't far enough apart.
* They don't have enough of an "up" slope. This should be near vertical.
* Because the middle row T, Y, G, H, B, N, keys aren't doubled up.
* They suck for gaming -- I don't want TWO keyboards -- I just one one that is GOOD in both work and play.
* Good ones tend to be expensive as hell.
* They tend to fuck up the glyph font to be damn near unreadable.
* They tend to be this wireless shit.
* They tend to have limited switch options. Can I get it Brown MX? Cherry MX?
* If I am going to pay a fortune for it, can I get custom key caps?

My Das Keyboard 4 Professional while not ergonomic has beautiful Chery MX switches.

... and the occasional decent post.

Sadly the site has been shit for decades.

* ZERO CONTEXT for why something is up-voted or down-voted
* Full of redditards -- people who downvote you just for asking a question
* God forbid you have a _different_ opinion
* Full of echo chambers
* The larger the sub the large the ego of mods with a stick up their ass
* With Google dropping usenet it sadly is the most popular place to go for certain topics
* Under-paid, over-worked mods.

The smaller the sub, usually the better the S:N ratio is.

The editors have been next to fucking useless for decades.

Oblg. You had ONE job!

Any plans to reverse engineer the Apple Pascal toolchain?

(i.e. So that it can be ported to ProDOS instead of using the brain-dead Pascal File System.)

Kind of like the shit storm going on with the scummy behavior of BwE (Better Way Electronics):

Using DRM to disable customer access because his feelings got hurt.

We need to tell companies to GTFO for those that oppose Right-to-Repair.

Since it usually takes as much time to review code properly as it does to write it, what are we gaining here. I certainly wouldn't trust any AI currently available to write code without checking it carefully.

The 286 even supported Flat Real-Mode!

One HUGE problem with the 286 is that you couldn't return to Real-Mode after entering Protected-Mode unless you reset the chip. That was fixed with the 386 IIRC.
