What I really don't understand is how Microsoft has a near religious dedication to backwards compatibility at the technical level, but will move on to whatever next shiny object they see when it comes to compatibility at the user level.

Relearning the basic functionality of operating a computer every few years rests entirely on the end user, and never on the developer. It's aggressively backwards.

It doesn't work in the real world, but does PokePunch evolve into Harambe?

Hyper Links, even.

They make DRAM modules. There's a built in incentive to pump up the idea that prices aren't coming down, so you might as well buy now.

Depends how you want to engage with the world. If you want to follow topics, the fediverse is great. If you want to follow people, you go where those people are, which still might be fediverse, but maybe not.

Hang in. It gets easier soon.

Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?

It's fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.

Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn't get Bethesda to let him call it "Fallout," so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.

Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It's still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it's closer than if they just started last week.

Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.

I downvote off-topic and toxic content. Some people deserve to feel bad about what they put into the world.

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
