Wow, a Lain meme was not something I was expecting.

I should watch that show again sometime, I still have the DVDs somewhere I think.

Playframe doesn’t exclusively highlight small indie games, but they do cover a fair number of them alongside various bigger games.

Although, I guess it depends on how unknown a game has to be to “count” as “lesser-known”; I’ve certainly been introduced to games by Playframe, but, it’s not like they’re going onto Steam Roulette or anything.

Some examples of games that I personally hadn’t heard of until they showed up on Playframe include “Worldless”, “Cursed to Golf”, “Frog Detective”, “Say No! More!”, etc. I don’t think any of those are, like, deeply obscure or anything, but, they’re “smaller” indie games in my book.

Also, they’re just really rad people.

A Linux container can only run on a Linux kernel (and likewise for Windows and Mac). But there are plenty of tools to more-or-less transparently solve that particular problem by e.g. running a virtual machine in the background to host a shared Linux installation that hosts the containers (and then mapping ports and stuff for you).

For those wondering, this is from “Science: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness”, by the inestimable Zach Weinersmith.

I’m always keen to shit on Google, but, this is about “having search terms in the query string” and “having links that take you directly to the thing you clicked on without any redirect dance to obfuscate the Referer header”. With all the other shit to legitimately complain about from Google, this seems so silly to focus on. Google isn’t even the one that sent the Referer header, that would be your browser (which, Chrome didn’t exist yet at the time). RFC1945, from 1996, for HTTP 1.0, even explicitly stated that any application that communicates over HTTP (i.e. a web browser) should offer the user a configuration option to disable sending Referer headers.

Edit: slight clarification, Chrome did exist during part of the time period that the lawsuit covers, though it only started to pick up serious market share towards the end of the relevant time period.

At first I read this as if you were implying that manufacturers added drugs to baby formula as cheap fluff, which, I was just… WTF???

I think what you are trying to say is that drugs are cut with baby formula, not the other way around.

Honestly, ChatGPT is so consistently bad at accuracy that the fact ChatGPT says there’s no god is one of the most cogent arguments in favor of the existence of god that I’ve seen (although to be fair this may have more to do with the poor quality of the other arguments).

Man, I’d never read “Stop talking to each other and start buying things” before, that’s a hell of an article.
