The BBC have preempted your joke
It might be tempting to reach for a conspiracy theory or two, not least because it’s hard to hear the name “Skynet” without thinking of the malevolent, self-aware artificial intelligence (AI) system in The Terminator movie franchise.
But there’s no connection other than the name and, in any case, real life is always more prosaic.
There’s loads of Worms games now though they’re all the same sort of thing. I think they just announced an “anniversary edition” of Armageddon, which looks basically the same as the Steam version but ported to modern consoles. Still a banger 25 years on!
The one thing about patent law I know is that you can’t patent something that already exists in the wild (“prior art”), so surely that can’t be the case, and if it is then it’s open-and-shut, right?
I am pretty sure I picked up the Android version for free a few years ago and it had The Offspring but I installed it just now and it’s gone. It’s also now talking about ads and data collection so I assume the original build has been unavailable for a while.
The WiiU could run the entire Wii OS, so that’s pretty good for backwards compatibility
Isn’t that the purpose of the work profile?
I guess that’s what instances are trying to avoid by preemptively blocking Threads. If everyone else blocks it then Lemmy carries on existing as it is. And I can’t imagine big corpo wouldn’t want to create their own name.
Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing
Huge growth (in the month after we released a new phone)
Happy to see that the extended edition is the first recommend video: Tim Curry holds back laughter for 3 minute in Red Alert 3
Surprised they’re even thinking that far ahead!
I was keeping in mind that they put that much money in, surely all that money has made something playable that would make some money, whereas throwing it all away makes nothing at all, right?
“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”
But why? Did they actually think it was going to cost more money to keep the servers running than it would bring in? What’s the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy?
This is the most !nottheonion@lemmy.world headline I’ve ever read
Yeah I’d had my eye on this for a bit, it seems disappointingly bare-bones in terms of features which is a shame. Guess I’ll be sticking with the increasingly-broken neo/omega launcher for a while!
Also I’m pretty sure there were no cannons in Middle Earth, and Smaug had no business with the orcs. Technicalities though, still a great post.
I use Cryptomator on desktop and Android and while I think it is a slightly different use case than syncthing, it can probably cover a lot of similar uses. And yeah, on Android you don’t actually have a local copy of all your stuff, you can just upload, download, or edit text files.
Whoops, I meant “passkey”, I’ll edit my original comment
