Unrelated but the additional padding at the bottom of each page is an unexpected QOL feature I didn't know I needed.

But Oracle will be leading towards an "offer" to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.

So...Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.

The unsealed court order wasn’t just fishing for a list of vague identifiers that could be winnowed down to a list of suspects and a follow-up warrant demanding actual identifying information on these ~30,000 YouTube users. No, it appears the feds led with the big ask, demanding names, addresses, phone numbers, and user activity for every viewer of these videos between January 1-8, 2023. AND(!!) it asked Google to provide IP addresses for all viewers who were not logged into (or did not possess) Google accounts.

That's fucked

Taking a cursory look I feel like posts still aren't being engaged with like they used to. I remember seeing posts with 100,000 upvotes very regularly on the front page, but you really don't see that anymore. Yeah maybe they tweaked their calculations but why make your site look like it's not as engaging as before right before a major IPO offer?

Damn dude lol

I think it's more winning the battle but losing the war for Twitter. It just ain't the same and probably never will be.

• The Bread Circus
  • They go through the Star Wars movies from a book lore perspective, point out flaws in the writing and lore-breaking, and offer suggestions on how the sequels could have been handled differently. They did The Last Jedi, and I really enjoyed it. They also have some cool videos on podracing, ships, and guns.
• Defunctland
  • History of Disney rides, takes the culture of the time into consideration, the video on queues is a must-watch, imo.
• Draw Like a Sir
  • Really solid drawing tutorials that aren't very complicated, takes the time to break down high-level concepts into simple exercises. Overall a really fun channel to watch, even if you're not into drawing.
• Fredrik Knudson
  • Long, deep-dive videos into internet history/culture. Rare uploads, but a banger every time.
• James Lee
  • Newgrounds-era animator with amazing compositing techniques and a very unique animation style where he inserts himself into his videos as a very animated caricature of himself.
• Lemmino
  • Like the History Channel but without the fluff. Cool topics, very nice animations, high production, high-quality content.
• MattKC
  • Known for a Lego Island decompilation project. Also does retro console repair from time to time — very fun watch.
• Paper Will
  • Rare uploads. but interesting video essay topics. High quality and a nice watch during lunch.
• Pecos Hank
  • A storm chaser who is Reed Timmer's ying to his yang. Very chill, documentary-quality footage featuring himself playing guitar and talking about the beauty and power of nature. You've probably seen his footage on the Weather Channel!
• Technology Connections
  • Great deep dives into random technology, old and new. The video on the popcorn button on microwaves is really good (I think that may be on his second channel?)

can't wait

We now consider this anniversary version of Half Life to be the definitive version, and the one we'll continue to support going forward. Therefore, we'll be reducing the visibility of Half Life: Source on the Steam Store. We know Half-Life: Source's assets are still being used by the Source engine community, so it'll remain available, but we'll be encouraging new Half-Life players to play this version instead.

Wow. Didn't think they'd ever acknowledge HL:S again but here we are. This is such a cool update.

As a Futurama fan...Futurama. The reboot is very mediocre at best, the show was great when it was a bunch of characters with wildly different personalities messing around in the year 3000. The first reboot was kinda less interesting but ok for the most part, I personally think the movies were pretty bad and the new season just wants to be South Park with 3-year old dated references. It had a good run, should've ended after season 4

Don't skimp on anything that separates you from the ground: shoes, tires, mattress, etc. Your body will thank you later
