My back pain is usually my hamstrings tensing and wrenching the fuck out of everything higher. More power might make that worse.

That would be good.

I'm not complaining about them improving the platform or trying to make developers more willing to do demos. But I also don't want demo spam clogging up my browsing in addition to all the free to play trash.

Servers being slow is usually fine. They're already at way lower clocks than consumer chips because almost all that matters is power efficiency.

The court heard that the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 allows law enforcement to obtain a TEI warrant for a single investigation or operation, such as the covert monitoring of the activities of an identified organised crime group. However, the lawyers argued that a TEI warrant could not be used to monitor all users of a particular messaging service. It was not enough, they said, that the targets for surveillance were using a common technology “incidental to their suspected criminality”.

I think this is their point. The additional links are walled, but the assertion it sounds to me like they're making is that the ruling authorized them to hack and surveil an entire platform, rather than based on probable cause against specific individuals.

BS generally has more math/algorithm requirements so you understand what your code is actually doing.

If they actually need that math knowledge expecting the BS is perfectly reasonable.

There is no original Bible.

The Bible is an assortment of works from a variety of authors arbitrarily selected by the Church, then made into a whole bunch of translations that aren't super consistent with each other and aren't all that faithful to the original works.

Demos will also appear across Steam in various places, acting as if they're a free game. So you can expect to see them in charts like New & Trending and across all the tags

That sounds incredibly obnoxious.

I was super interested in this game from the stuff I saw of it.

Then I saw in reviews that there were a bunch of real time gated things. I don't know the specific mechanics, but any version of that at all is unacceptable to me.

Even if we play make believe that they make any difference at all (they don't), it would still be unforgivable to install malware on someone's computer to prevent cheating in a computer game.

I love it. Peppers and Dugger is a great duo that can play all over.

You can open source everything and it doesn't matter if you don't provide the keys to unlock it.

You're going to have to proactively provide tools for users to unlock their devices completely.
