#Skywind is (sort of) a recreation of TES: #Morrowind as a #Skyrim mod, and is allegedly still "in development".

Skyrim is now 12 years old.
Morrowind was 10 years old when the mod was announced.

Bets?

Finished Blade Runner on Switch yesterday. And if you think I am late to the party: I bought the original game in 1998 or so..... Took me only 27 years to finish

#History / Wikipedia surprise of the day:
I was yesterday days old when I realized that #Cleopatra was not actually Egyptian at all, but in fact - *Greek*.
(Or half Greek / half Egyptian, that's unclear).
She wore her hair in a bun, had a slightly fleeing chin, and rather "Hellenistic" features overall.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra?wprov=sfla1

Even her name is, and sounds, Greek, (kleos: glory, patros: father).
Ah yes, and she was "Kleopatra VII Thea Philopator". The 7th.

How did I not know that?

PlatformIO IDE extension has been removed with over 4,500,000 unique installs

Man erklärt mir:

Wenn Leute heutzutage was mit embedded Zeugs , dann nehmen sie meistens nicht mehr das gammlige Arduino IDE, sondern PlatformIO. platformio ist eine VSCode Extension. VSCode Marketplace verwaltet diese Extensions.

This is why we must always validate all user input

Funny how an ADS brain works.
My last post here was more than a year ago, and I haven't even looked at the feed since.
No reason, just dropped out of my head.
This morning I got a notification, and all of a sudden it's like "Ah yes, Mastodon exists!" 🤦😂

fascinating (and gorgeous!) chart showing the evolution of recorded-music revenue over the last 50 years

the first thing that jumps out at me is how much smaller the overall pie is post-streaming. the streaming services and major labels have successfully managed a) to dramatically devalue recorded music and b) to put a much larger percentage of it directly into their own pockets. it's one of the single biggest upward transfers of wealth in history — from artists to billionaire corporations

Die letzten schönen Tage genießen :)

Das wurde bestimmt schon früher erwähnt, aber die Jungs von #stayforever haben letztens eine exzellente #podcast-Folge über den #C64 abgeliefert! https://www.stayforever.de/2023/07/commodore-64-sft-11/

Not sure how to feel about that.

But cooking forums are probably still worse. "How long can you store Xyz?" - "Why do you want to store Xyz? The one I make is so good, my precious husband and my 5 kids eat/drink/inhale it right away as soon as I finish it"

Googles question on a game. Most of the answers are like: "idk bro, lol".
Why. Do. You. Reply. At all. Then!?

The Aztecs felt the same way.

One thing I loathe about our ad-centric world is, when you *do* demand unsubscription from whatever fresh hell list you've been added to, they say they've updated your "preferences."

Let me make this clear: it's not a tea vs. coffee or white rice vs. brown rice issue. That's a preference.

This is a withdrawal of *consent*, which is an entirely different thing that is completely unlike a "preference."

I'd do more business at a company that acknowledged that in an unsubscribe.

@josephdickson I did use fountain pens in the past. Not sure when I stopped, but probably at some point after study.
Really happy to use them again

Slow weekend before a hectic week. Preparing the #weeklyspread for my #bulletjournal. Still not sure getting into #fountainpens was a (financially) good idea. Works as a stress relief, though. #kawecospecial
