@arraybolt3 A deeper dive on the history of text would be interesting!

@arraybolt3 There's an 'What every programmer absolutely positively needs to know about Unicode' article or something that's useful.
Found it: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/

Any #recommendations for an open-source media player that is stable, allows opening multiple windows, has a queue, and is on Flathub (or uses Flatpak)? I used #VLC mainly, to listen to music, but it had issues with skipping around and detuning audio. #askFedi #mediaPlayer

Still lots of great times now that I'm older! But life seems so much more serious now....

I downloaded the Minecraft Volume Beta soundtrack from Bandcamp and have been listening. A Creative Mode song came on and gee, I miss the old times. Me and my brothers would have so much fun.

I feel like if I tried to go back and play Minecraft with them I couldn't bring the good times back.... I had to not know how good I had it in order to have it so good.

If I'm learning calculus for work, and my work is computer programming, then when I need to do calculus I have a computer handy. Some teachers say that you should learn how to do math by hand in case you don't have a calculator, but if I don't have a computer with me when I'm trying to computer program then I have bigger problems than not being able to solve some calculus, right?

Doing some curious reading on 100GB optical discs, 4K/UHD Blu-Ray discs.

Unsurprisingly, many of them were protected by Intel's #SGX, presumably to prevent piracy.
However, you would need an Intel CPU, and some newer Intel CPUs won't even work with these Blu-Rays anymore. And, as usual, people found out how to copy it anyway with some modded drive firmware and the right software.

If you have #DRM -"protected" media, understand that at some point it may be taken from you.

@arraybolt3 Oof lol

@CM30 Developed by Capcom, fun fact.

@CM30 Opposite for me. My favorites are long-lasting: just Roblox, Minecraft, and Super Smash Bros. come to mind as my long-lasting most favorite videogames.

@briankrebs Wow, that was pretty naive security. Frustrates me more than I find it funny.

@royal We've gotten and sent back an HP printer before. They can be pretty forceful over their users.

@CM30 @knittedallie I figured it might have something to do with the developers not wanting a goofy or overlarge top to mess with the emotion of the final cutscene. But saving Zelda suddenly without a shirt I think may have been weirder.
Maybe if he switched into the champion's tunic instead? Idk.

Either way I thought it was a grand finish.

If your standard is perfection, not only is it an impossible standard but it is one that will leave you disappointed.
