It might not have sit well with the fans - he might take a big swing and miss - but at least I felt like he was trying to create art instead of merely making money.

Same, I actually loved how his story had Rey as a "nobody" whose choices and actions were what made her important, SW has way too many special bloodlines, prophecies, and chosen ones.

Then Abrams does a 180 in the sequel 😑

I still hate that god damned dagger.

A place I worked at did it by duplicating and modifying a function, then commenting out the existing one. The dev would leave their name and date each time, because they never deleted the old commented out functions of course, history is important.

They'd also copy the source tree around on burnt CDs, so good luck finding out who had the latest copy at any one point (Hint: It was always the lead dev, because they wouldn't share their code, so "merging to main" involved giving them a copy of your source tree on a burnt disk)

What's creating these shortcuts though, and why isn't that considered a risk?

Valve said the same about EA when they used them to publish the Orange Box, seems they're great as partners but not owners.

Might be fine for the internet, but not for the name of a TV show, even one that's on cable.

Never knew until I immigrated to the US. And even then, its merely a brief mention on it and calls it “communism” (its not lol) and then the teachers proclaim its why “communism” is bad, USA constitution rule of law blah blah.

That's when you bring up Kent State

A single user mastodon instance has the same issues, any hashtags you can see will be from users you already follow. You need to subscribe to a relay to see more posts (Which GTS actually currently doesn't support, so you need to follow tags from something like https://relay.fedi.buzz/)

I'm not sure why they're separate, but I thought it had the progress import that the other versions did? So you just load your existing player into the new version instead of starting from scratch.

Is it really stealing if you pay for it?

Xerox PARC had lots of great ideas, and then just never really commercialized any of them.

The "attack" is from the host side, any remote attack is theoretical and would depend on exploiting the software on the host first to then gain access to the BT chip.
