which effectively forced the Senate to consider the measures together

What a stupid way to legislate. Every bill ought to gave a single, specified purpose.

True, but right now those “stupid” people in charge of making “stupid” legislative decisions, are laughing all the way to the bank. ALL of them. On both “sides” pitted against each other. For profit.

And then we have the people voting to sustain that, re-electing over and over again.

Comment Re:Abandoned or Actve. Pick one. (Score 1) 42

Calling it abandonware seems like a strange choice of phrase: it has been open source (GPL2) since the early 2000s, and SDL Sopwith (linked in the post) is based on that source. So it very much still is in active development.

If you think calling it abandonware is strange, imagine what kind of definition you’re going to have to come up with for “active” in relation to “development”.

To be clear, I’m not attacking the game or those who created it. I’m more asking for the current definition of “active” after a claim of 40 years when the game itself appears to have not changed. Having a DOS game run in a current browser doesn’t exactly count as unique in my mind. We have hundreds of old games that can do that.

Wanna know what active development actually looks like? Look at Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The game itself, actually changed across the years. A few times. Again, not attacking those who gave us Sopwith in any way. It’s part of my own memories. Just questioning the 40-year development claim. Seems quite extraordinary. Like clickbait-grade.

OMG! And the Democrats are letting all of them vote! Plus they are paying them pennies per hour to stuff mail in voting ballots! There will be over 1 billion Democrat votes registered in every state come Election Day, you just wait!

Do you know that it is the R's who are doing the intentional transport? Like DeSantis and the governor of Texas?

Despite his history as a true computer scientist with actual academic credentials, Raghavan chose to bulldoze actual workers and replace them with toadies

People who don't play office politics lose to people who do. Having "toadies" helps you win the game of Survivor. It works because the CEO doesn't recognize actual skill.
