Changes that some applications made for Wayland definitely broke pasting for me. It seems Wayland added a separate clipboard so going between apps was a crapshoot if pasting would work. I haven't found a solution that covers everything at once.
For people who like LW for more than just nostalgia, Joe Dever's son is republishing all the LW books in a unified format, including a greatly expanded edition of Flight From the Dark using Joe's notes. They're also pursuing new projects, last year they published three new books set in the same world and a (non-game) anthology, and some other games through various partners.
I got excited because I thought I had missed something, but these are the same apps I've had for years. They're not isometric games, though some of the illustrations have a similar perspective.
The Internet Archive is your first port of call. For some reason I can't get any of them to load in the browser, but all of the systems are emulatable locally.
Ads. Tracking scripts. Interface hijacks. Dynamics that change the page as I read it. A myriad of other poorly executed ideas that someone who considers themselves "very clever" thought were good at the time but only make my experience worse.
Lucas was friendly towards fan works, so Disney kind of got that situation handed to them and were smart enough not to go against it. When nerds are your core audience, you have to accept them doing nerd things. WB took down the Hunt for Gollum fan film and ended up reversing course. Would Disney and WB still make a ton of money if they tighten the reins? Probably, but why risk it?
I've used vcs[0] to make contact sheets from videos. It has a nice feature that if it detects the frame is blacked out, it will shift the capture time so every frame on the sheet has something to look at. Easy syntax to set capture at every delta or capture x number of frames evenly distanced, columns per row, ignore a set length of end time, and frame size.
I had hoped from the headline that it would shed some light on the Oakville blobs[0], but no such luck. The images don't look remotely the same material.
An argument so cliche, it has its own Wikipedia page[1]. In the US, we currently have a presidential candidate from a major party threatening harm to people based on their political, social, and biological qualities, which outsiders often determine by inference from data such as who people are in contact with and where they travel. Further, I would argue the need for individual privacy is innate in humans; as every child matures they find a need to do things without their parents over their shoulder, even without their peers, no matter how innocent the activity and it is a need that does not vanish in adulthood. We generally agree that things like removing bedroom doors as punishment is abusive because it robs the person of privacy. The same goes for installing monitoring software on your partner's phone, or a GPS tracker on their car. Privacy means we are able to be ourselves without our lives being scrutinized, criticized, judged, rated, shamed, blamed, or defamed by every person on the street. I close the door when I defecate, I draw the blinds when I copulate, I don't tell people my passwords, and I don't scan my grocery receipt to earn points because there are some things other people don't need to know.
>For example, people spent hours exploring wikipedia, this could never be done with physical paper.
I must not understand what you're saying here. I'm envisioning someone reading an article, seeing a reference to something unfamiliar, then stopping to read another article in a nearby source about that thing or any other random topic, recursing for hours. This is easily done, and often was by children a few decades ago, with any encyclopedia set.
In study sessions in school I would sometimes look things up by thinking "it was on the lower left about this far into the book." I remember studies done years ago that showed reading a physical book improved memory and learning due to the geometry and positioning reinforcing the neural paths, and anecdotally that was definitely the case for me. I don't think I'm hallucinating them, this article cites several studies that support that. Anyone who suggests PDFs are just as good "because they have pages" is missing the point - they aren't physical objects, and that matters.
Incredible! Songs in the Key of X was the only album I ever knew to do this, and it wasn't even the first. I had no idea so many others did the same thing.
Edit: Son of a *, I've had a copy of Sister Machine Gun's Burn for almost 30 years and never knew there was a hidden track!
