It’s paid for by our taxes. The bribes and backdoor deals go straight into his pocket.

We could just skip to the end, but a bunch of assholes are fighting us every tiny step of the way.

Maybe that future is a utopia to this person.

You can host the server on the same machine the game is running on, it’s not uncommon during development especially the early stages.

I don’t have a problem if someone wants to turn a battle royale into a 4 player game.

If someone wants to host something bigger, that’s cool too.

I think there would be room in the market for a group to host servers for abandoned games.

It’s not terribly difficult or costly to set up a cloud host if you remember to put the cost restrictions on, so there’s one more option for multiplayer games.

That’s for games in the past, games going forward could be designed better. But for games that have already been made, there’s no reasonable way to redesign games that have already been published. Any redesign will change the game instead of preserving it, and you’ll never get the original devs back together with the original tech stack in order to do any major changes. But smaller things like getting old games to be able to point to different servers isn’t a big problem.

Or just let someone else host a fucking server and let the game get pointed to that one or any other they want. They could even sell the server software and make money on that. I’d love to host my own servers of some old online only games where I could play with just my friends and family.

Don’t worry, we saved at most $2 million by letting US AID food rot.

It served its purpose, it cut aid to those who needed it and gave money to those who didn’t. I think maybe they thought that cutting the social safety nets would have saved more money, but that’s all they’re going to be upset about.

If there is a WWIII, I doubt America will be left alone as much as it was the last two times, especially since that led to America becoming the economic powerhouse it became.

The cop was armed and was already known to shoot someone in the back, the father was afraid for his life and had to make a split second decision.

Too bad he won’t be arrested and charged for all the laws he broke.

Weird, guy who breaks laws with impunity doesn’t care about laws.

He’s in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we’re in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.

It’s not a dead language. And while I don’t care much for it, only move if it makes sense. The reason the company I worked with moved, was because the servers were getting very costly to keep up, and the parts were becoming rarer. So they were concerned they might be in a situation where they’d be unable to work for up to three weeks. And they had already done some work moving several of their systems and apps to C# and virtual servers. And it still took years in order to do it with minimal disruption to business operations.

But since the Department of dipshit doesn’t actually care about disrupting services that affect the working people, I bet they’ll do it and be like, oops, our bad, Biden made us do it.

As someone who was part of a team that moved a company off of a mainframe into the modern world of technology (about ten years ago). It takes years.

I guarantee that this is going to go badly. It’s going to take much longer than they think. And it’s going to be very expensive.

But I also guarantee that they don’t care. It seems they’re more than happy to weaken the US in pursuit of profit and to help Putin for some reason.

My point is, what the law is doesn’t matter if the law is not enforced. Good luck fighting a team of lawyers that make more in a minute than you do in a year.

Legally you can’t be forced to hand over your money, so just tell the armed robber, “no.”

I think Trump’s actions are not particularly unique, but he’s doing actions that have been previously condemned and in the minority. I’m not so naive as to think that all corruption can be eliminated, but when it’s out in the open and the people are getting away with it in the open, that’s much worse than what had happened before. Trump is a unique phenomenon in that sense and the sheer number of illegal things he’s doing.

We were heading towards something like Trump eventually if you track what monied interests, through the GOP, have been doing since at least when Nixon resigned. I’m sure the GOP were hoping to pick their guy instead of Trump, with Russia’s help, taking advantage of what they were setting up.

I get that there have also been corrupt Dems, and there so are, like Nancy Pelosi, but they’re not the primary avenue of the oligarchs to enact their agenda. Though they have captured the Dem leadership as well.

But I would welcome a more robust system to root out corruption. And for laws to be applied equally. If that takes out a significant portion of the government, then I think that’s fine, as long as it’s not some bullshit like what’s currently going on.

It’s nice to see some good news from time to time in these troubling times.

The bombing is worse, but using signal instead of official communication channels is still really fucking serious. They want to plan and commit war crimes and avoid any responsibility for it by trying to keep it from ever getting under public scrutiny.
