Here is the “after” picture to satisfy your brain.

The more I have read about this, the more disgusted I am. This company generally, and the CEO personally, took all sorts of shortcuts to build this thing.

The CEO stated that he didn’t want to have any ex military submarine experts as part of the team, because they were “uninspiring” and “50 year old white guys”, and he’d rather have young college grads who are inspiring. The real reason: the college grads were simply cheaper. He didn’t want to pay the ex military experts. That’s it.

The CEO lied to CBS news in their CBS Sunday morning report and told them that Boeing and University of Washington consulted with them on the design of the submersible. Both organizations told the NY Post today that they had no involvement with it. So that was a fucking lie. All he did was use the UW lab after hours.

The use of a Logitech PS3 style controller to navigate the vehicle…what the actual fuck.

Because this was a submersible in international waters, there are virtually no regulations. That needs to change. If the UN needs to draft a treaty for countries to ratify to regulate these things in international waters, then that’s what needs to happen.

TIL China has a PM.

I think our generation will definitely have consoles set up in nursing homes when we are elderly. No doubt about it.

They’re still having issues and I get a 404 error when I click on it 😞

It’s hard to beat GIMP.

Just to give perspective on how rapacious the textbook industry has become:

When I was in nursing school (graduated in May), even though I “purchased” the textbooks, it turned out what I purchased was only a license to access the textbook through their proprietary e-reader app for the semester. As soon as the semester was over, my access to the textbook disappeared.

This is the model that the textbook companies want. No more reselling used books to even recover a small portion of funds.

This is why piracy of textbooks is thriving.

So far, the highlights for me are Super Mario RPG remake, and a new Dragon Quest Monsters installment!

Niche, but for Fire Emblem there is Serenes Forest forums. Very active!

Jesus, is that really what they’re using? 😳

And just to add to that, anyone who has installed Linux before knows that everything isn’t guaranteed to just work out of the box. Laptop WiFi cards, for example, frequently have driver issues. So it’s not quite as simple as OP is saying, even with PCs.

One day Doom will be able to run through carrier pigeons.

“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”

Wow. Clearly Reddit now believes that they own all of the conversations that people have had on the site. That explains why they’ve also been restoring comments that people have deleted when leaving the site. That has major implications for data security, privacy, and even safety in some situations.

This episode has revealed Reddit’s true colors, and they’re not pretty.

This is actually hilarious that Reddit is so threatened by Lemmy that they are actively trying to intimidate people from posting a link. What a joke.

Did they block Lemmygrad? I thought they just blocked Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. you may be right though.

I wouldn’t try to make too much sense out of Beehaw’s decisions. I don’t quite understand what they’re going for. Regardless of whether or not they blocked Lemmygrad, I agree with you that there’s a contradiction inherent in the whole idea of having a community about socialism (a topic about overthrowing the current political/economic order) but saying to “be nice” lol

I am ready and armed with Thomas the Tank Engine memes.

Beehaw added !socialism@beehaw.org if you want to talk about leftist topics, but the rules there are that you have to be nice to everybody. It is basically the opposite of the tenor of r/socialism, so take that under advisement.

I say this as a passive observer who has no skin in the game one way or another, I’m not a socialist.

Welcome aboard! 🏴‍☠️

What’s the combat like? I feel like that’s not a spoiler. In just curious if it’s similar to FF7R or what?

Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it’s all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.
