Many of those apps were built on things produced and distributed for free. I would say they are, usually, just a fancy front end on some OSS library. That’s not without value, good interfaces are hard, but lets not pretend they’re doing all the work themselves, and they certainly aren’t eager to reinvest any of that money into the free software that made their shit possible.

np glad it worked.

sounds like contentEditable got triggered on one of the elements on the page. if you want to try and get around this before they fix it you can press F12 and paste this into your console:

document.querySelectorAll("[contentEditable]").forEach(x=>x.contentEditable=false); 

I helped write a browser extension for this game like 20 years ago. Last I heard it was rife with unmoderated Nazis. RIP

My computer can’t run it very well but there’s a pretty decent VR mod out there.

If they bundled the item with a pack of batteries in a retail store and sold it for 39.99, would you still consider it cheaper?

How? You cannot buy this “cheaper” version without spending more money. It’s 39.99 with free shipping other places. It’s $39.99 on Amazon because you have to pay for shipping. You’re not saving money, you’re just getting more stuff from Amazon.

Cheaper on Amazon, or anywhere else?

That counterpoint says that the only CoC he would write is “don’t be an asshole” and refutes the transphobia misgendering shit by posting the wider context where the guy is explicitly an immediate, unprovoked asshole to the person for having pronouns in their username. Tries to claim that the trans person being mocked “started it” by misgendering first, when the person in question simply assumed a gender to prove a point about the utility of pronoun tags, unlike the guy who deliberately chose to use the wrong pronouns to address someone, like an asshole.

This man is a clown fuck hyprland.

How have you ‘saved’ money that you spent, exactly?

So they’re getting you to buy more than you wanted or pull the trigger on something you were waiting on. Sounds like this is still a win for Amazon.

also, your own code after you’ve spent time away from it.

People from outside the industry have seen a profit opportunity and decided to invest. As investors, they think they’re smarter than everyone else, even the people they pay to do things for them. Since they have no attachment to games as a medium they’re wowed by flashy visuals, and since investors have the money you need to produce a game, you cater to their tastes if you want to get paid.

In service for two months, operational for 20 days.

They taught you about pointers in high school? The only course available to me that even touched on programming just covered how to use C to do conditionals, read keyboard input, and print text to a terminal. The bulk of the course was learning MS Office.

They tore it down after it showed up in the background of the victory pics they took after killing tons of civilians and a few hostages to “save” four hostages.

During its operation it produced about the same tons of aid per day as ten trucks. For comparison in August 2024 Israel was still allowing around 500 trucks of aid per day past their blockade, down to around 70 now.

that’s not just non profits. ever wonder how so many nominally “unprofitable” companies seem to stick around forever?

Great, sounds like they didn’t need that donation money since the C-suite will get them all the rich kickbacks they need. So what’s the problem?

doesn’t seem to have stopped them from locking functionality that does not require an internet conneciton behind an internet connection, so i don’t see why they would care.

i haven’t used an IDE in years but when I did I switched to notepads because every IDE i used was bloated and slow. is this not still the case? frankly VS Code is rapidly approaching the point where it’s just as bloated and slow as I remember those IDEs being so i’m not exactly trying to come to its defense here.
