Not OP, but coming from the same place: less annoying (I hope!) atheist.

I’ll bet Ada Lovelace had some somewhere.

San Francisco had an emperor.

(He even “decreed” the construction of a bridge or tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland on the other side of the bay, predicting the existence of the Bay Bridge and Transbay Tube!)

Sigma Star Saga for the GBA. Really creative mashup of an RPG and a side-scrolling shooter, with a cool weapon-configuration system thrown in. Definitely suffered a bit from platform limitations, but there’s absolutely more that could have been done with the core concept.

Shockingly good writing, too.

Good lord yes. Overwatch is just a corporatized TF2 ripoff, but Battleborn was a creative, unique game with a soul.

Anyone who hasn’t seen it should watch the game’s intro cinematic, which gives a great sense of just how much character the game had.

Hey, in my defense, the explanation there was only added in 2022, and I’d already given up looking by then!

Thank you! You would not believe how long I’ve been trying to figure out where the term came from.

The best explanation I’d heard prior to now was that the practice of composing functions was akin to mixing ingredients for curry, (the food) but I’d never really bought that line of reasoning.

Being a socialist living under capitalism will do that to you.

Or, if you like it more pithy: “The difference between theory and practice is larger in theory than it is in practice.”

Alien might be the scariest movie of all time, IMO, so this makes perfect sense to me.

I do use Kodi for local content, but this unfortunately doesn’t help with streaming services, and even dedicated steaming boxes have ads on their home screens now.

I’m not sure how an email service helps here…?

*Pi-hole

Already got one. A lot of devices seem to route ads over channels that can’t be blocked without compromising other device functions.

My dad used to sautee them with bits of bacon or prosciutto. I don’t eat pork anymore, but god damn do I miss those Brussels sprouts.

I kinda disagree here - I have no problem using smart lights, etc., as long as they’re controlled by a non-cloud system like HomeAssistant. This just doesn’t seem to be an option for more complex devices.

You still end up with awkward, overcomplicated UIs that make using the TV in basic ways unnecessarily obnoxious.

A high-quality dumb TV.

Get your ads (and security vulnerabilities) out of my damn house.
