7·9 months agoI’m in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.
On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it’ll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.
On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don’t want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that’s popular at the moment.
24·9 months agoYes. The answer to this isn’t to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people’s privacy being a legally tradable commodity.
3·10 months agoHoly shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…
I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?
Cautiously optimistic.

3·10 months agoThat’s a good point, hadn’t considered that.
No, I was thinking about the lack of empathy required to actively hate everyone under a certain age.

1925·11 months agoShould copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!
In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!
You’ve got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?
Chutzpa, I believe the term is.
It’s like they’re all reading the same copy of ‘how not to be a garbage human being’ and doing the exact opposite of each lesson…
What a terrible day to have eyes.
“Rent for £3.99”
But I already pay for Amazon Prime, wtf? Greedy bastards…
2·11 months agoIsn’t that because at the root of greed is the inability to be satisfied? Why don’t billionaires, when they have literally money beyond avarice, more than they could possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes, just say “nope, I don’t need any more, everything else I earn can go to charity”?
But they don’t. They get richer. And despite the public image of them, they’ll still try and screw the regular workers out of as many toilet breaks as they can get away with in order to maximise how much they earn.
It’s almost beyond evil.
That was my first thought when I read this:
The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way
So you’re saying… only a clanker can call another clanker ‘clanker’?
261·1 year agoWHAT! Is your name?
WHAT! Is your quest?
WHERE! Is my breakfast, Karen? I jumped on your bed an hour ago.
Prisoner Zero has escaped
Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…
*gets asked for mobile number
Nope, don’t care that much.
