damn, that would’ve been a rare Sonic movie W.

wait hold up did Knuckles just not assume Shadow’s gender in the movie? or are the captions here for the meme and not the actual lines?

looks like you can indeed repackage any PS2 game to run on any PS3 running HEN firmware, per this post.

I mean, you could similarly reason that bisexuals aren’t welcome (both gays and lesbians are solely attracted to the same sex, after all), or that asexuals aren’t welcome (you can be asexual and heteroromantic, after all), and so on. I think, ultimately, that unity between us is important, and allowing the umbrella to protect all members of gender, romantic, and sexual minorities strengthens the overall cause rather than weakening it.

What you’re talking about is supposed anonymity in obfuscation, and that has been proven to not work.

if it’s been proven not to work, then neither I2P nor VPN is worth using, no?

most VPN companies keep logs and can be subpoenaed.

well, sure, but that’s why anybody looking into a VPN is generally advised to use specific, known-good VPN providers who don’t keep logs and who, preferably, aren’t headquartered in a country with strict IP law.

the whole purpose of a VPN is to anonymize internet traffic, so they have many servers that send traffic out to the internet, which improves both anonymity and bandwidth. I2P is more akin to Tor, with anonymizing internet traffic as a bit of an afterthought, and the limited number of internet-connecting nodes makes users’ traffic more trackable.

sure, but I2P’s end-to-end encryption is for connecting to I2P addresses, not the general internet. I’m unclear on whether every node serves as an anonymized connection to the internet, though.

EDIT: read a little deeper! so no, not every computer connected to I2P is an internet-connected node, but, due to the limited number of internet-connected nodes, I2P does not offer the same level of anonymity that a VPN does, and may struggle from bandwidth issues.

I2P

wait, so this would route my traffic through others’ internet connections and theirs through mine? seems like a great way to get implicated for actually illegal activity, like, say, other people running I2P to download and/or upload certain types of porn.

Best I could find is this copy on imgur.

Pretty much everything about Apple Music is worse than Spotify except for their catalog and their lossless audio

doesn’t hurt that they also pay artists 3-4x as much per stream, imo (which was my main reason for switching)

a boolean named is_person_standing seems fine when person states other than standing don’t matter to the program, except for the fact they are not standing.

which leads to: name the boolean based on the thing relevant to what you’re building (this applies to other variable types, as well).

Helldivers 2 (PC/PS5, I play on PS5) and Splatoon 3 (Switch), primarily. Also periodically Rocket League (All, I play on PS5 and, though rarely, Switch).

hell yeah, awesome that y’all have open communication about these things. hope the kiddo loves Borderlands, it’s one of my favorite co-op game series.

note about Battlefront: there are the new ones that have a splitscreen mode but it’s kinda a glorified practice mode for the online-only modes, and the remakes of the originals (Battlefront Classic Collection) that have proper splitscreen campaigns but (from what I’ve heard) poor online play.

oh, yeah, would not get an 8yo who dislikes anything sexual into Borderlands, one of the running themes throughout the series is sex jokes - the sex jokes did ramp up in BL2, but there were still plenty in BL1, as I recall.

unfortunately there just aren’t many splitscreen coop games anymore, and especially not looter-shooters, most of ‘em are one player per TV with online multiplayer. this is a very sad state of affairs but it’s so rare for a game to buck the trend that I can’t think of anything other than Borderlands.

if you drop the loot requirement, I think the SW Battlefront classic collection would fit the splitscreen shooter requirement? but yeah I’m drawing a blank otherwise.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

so basically, living in an imperialist capitalist society and being aware of it is burnout?
