If you unplugged the freezers and fridges, and the vendors came back and plugged them back up, would you be ok with that?

Good. Generative AI has no place in any legal system, law enforcement, or government operation, anywhere.

Many people here make their livelihood directly or indirectly through advertising.

I'm pretty sure this violates the entire ethos of the demoscene

Tuesday's game was definitely the highlight of the series in terms of good baseball. Monday's game sucked ass, and I missed the first two, but tonight was like Tuesday lite. Tuesday night was some of the best baseball I have watched. I wish Tampa Bay had won a couple of more to give us a full series, but it was clear by the 7th that this game was over.

Context: I'm an adult fan of baseball that didn't like sports at all as a kid, so I developed no team loyalty. I'm all about good, exciting baseball whoever wins.

Art historians invented the word “modern”?

There exist uncensored, unregulated models. Many of them are available for local use, sidestepping any third-party checks that could be present.

Other emulators exist that do more for performance. This is more of a simulator.

I feel like that matters less the slower the simulation runs. Simulated RF interference would operate at a much slower timetable than the host system, and I don't really think the host system's RF matters so much until you're at speed parity with the original system and hoping to interface with hardware peripherals.

But copyright and a "copyright license" are two different things. If B doesn't have the legal right to sublicense C's IP, and Meta scrapes it anyway, then B could be liable for breach of contract, and Meta could be liable for copyright infringement

I was an Amiga kid, so Directory Opus was my Norton Commander. I still use Directory Opus on Windows to this day

Hundreds of years ago, nothing was easy to copy, until the printing press. Early copyright surrounding that wasn’t about “IP protection” but rather who had the right to operate a printing press at all

Nobody but you mentioned “eliminating” IP rights. Stop being disingenuous

> Example: if Fallout 76 is shut down, Bethesda giving you their source would essentially be giving you the source to Skyrim also.

That’s kinda bullshit to different degrees with different games.

Reynard exists for those who can sideload or jailbreak iOS:

Only if you're limited to knowing exactly how the actual cryptography works. If you understand exactly how the key derivation works, and know how that is seeded, then you can very much get inside.

His last name was spelled Swartz, for the record

Only in the modern day. Up through the SVGA days, cards supported true character-mapped text modes.

The signature can certainly be copyright protected, I would think?

Windows 98 did introduce the gradient title bars. Maybe even IE4’s desktop update added it to 95, I can’t remember.

In fact, the PC Engine provided a very 16-bit type of experience with an 8-bit 6502-based CPU

Not letting you backup and restore saves from local media also deprives modders of potential attack surface

The “perfect” timing window in Festival is +/-5ms from gem position (10ms total afaik). Harmonix has always been exceptional with their beatmatching code. There are physical limits to the black magic of latency compensation, however. If your input has to travel over the wire before the game can see it, then it’s unavoidable without heavy compensation

IBM PC design philosophy was the furthest thing possible from “open architecture”.

The PC only became “open” when the industry basically strongarmed it open. Prior to clean-room BIOS cloning, IBM did pursue legal redress against early clones.

The PC pivoted to open architecture despite IBM.

The Nintendo black boxes were still mock-ups to a significant degree. They often depicted situations nearly impossible (or actually impossible) to achieve in-game, the graphics often exceeded NES color limits, and often the pixel art itself was completely wrong (check out Mario on the Donkey Kong or Mario Bros boxes).

Forgot to add this earlier. Later versions of AmigaOS that support non-15kHz rates will promote all screens to the lowest screen mode that can suppprt all visible screen resolutions. So, if you drag a NTSC:High Res Interlaced (640x400@60i) screen down in front of a Multiscan:Productivity (640x400@70p) screen, then the front screen will also display in Prpductivity mode.

It’s worth noting that this is not actually explicit in the standard so much as it is just a natural consequence of not including the half-line. Since the raster is continually moving across and down, including during all retraces (until the actual blanking pulses reset them), the presence of the half-line means that the horizontal retrace doesn’t reset at the end of the half line, it just continues scanning horizontally while the vblank pulse resets the vertical deflection to the top of the screen. Similarly, all scan lines are actually very slightly tilted down on all CRTs unless there is compensation for it. The vertical deflection is consistently moving across the length of the horizontal trace.

Edit: if you have a set that is miscalibrated or worn out, you can end up actually seeing the retrace lines during what should be blanking

JavaScript itself would be fine as long as browsers didn't present certain capabilities to the running script. Modifying the DOM and rearranging elements? Go ham. Intercepting input and hard-forcing viewport sizes? Fuck outta here.

Edit: I've been getting the "slow down" thing on HN for the last couple of weeks after like five or six messages within a half hour. Not connected to HN through any VPN or obfuscation. It's annoying because it seems to take a solid hour or two (haven't measured) to unlock.
