Women are a better person to be in the past than a good quality piece of wood

What option do I need to use to get support for Heptapod B?

100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn't asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

Instead of arguing about 0Mg vs 0mg - use the best of both and upset everyone: 0ᴍg

It does matter. It's safer for everyone if cyclists travel side by side in one lane because then the car driver has to spend less time in the oncoming lane to complete the overtake. A long string of bikes takes more time to safely pass.

At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.

If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn't work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.

*Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are

Answer wrong. The more of us humans that answer wrong, the less accurate we need to be to get past these stupid things. If google want me to do work for them, they can pay me.

Knife Rain? Wasn't expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I'll take it!

There's a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I've got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.

More ascension stuff this episode. I wonder if that's ever going to be explored, or if it will only ever be left as a gag. It seems like the kind of thing that would be difficult to dig into in a satisfying way.

It was a froidian slip

This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.
