I love Tentree's hoodies, they have great length compared to a lot of other brands that cut their hoodies too short for me. Folks probably aren't thinking about buying hoodies in July, but might as well get them while they're on sale.

Games in that era used mask ROM for the game data, so they don't lose state over time as quickly as NAND flash does without power.

I say "as quickly" because I'm sure mask ROM still degrades eventually, but I'm not sure how long it takes.

The batteries in Game Boy carts were for keeping the save data SRAM powered. If that battery dies you'll lose any data on the save RAM, but it doesn't affect the mask ROM.

What a horrible situation. I just sent RAPS a donation to help them deal with this - if you're financially able to, please send a few bucks their way. I adopted my current cat from RAPS, they are a great no-kill shelter and they need all the help they can get.

This sounds like great news, but why is this site asking me for a username and password?

Wow, this is an awesome move! We are honestly so lucky that Valve hasn't enshittified like so many other gaming companies out there.

This makes me sick to my stomach. How can this be real? How could they possibly want to give coaches this kind of immunity? How can a Facebook page like this exist out in the open?

You should send this to the police without the names redacted, if you haven't already. These sickos clearly intend to cause harm, and they're admitting it out in the open.

Wait, really? I've found the new outlook opens emails faster than the old one, especially the HTML-heavy ones that my work loves to send me.

The refactor to the rules UI is really nice too, the old one was so crusty. Can't comment on the timezone issue though.

This is good news considering Russia's increasing hostility, but it's surprising that they don't even plan on starting construction until 2030. How does it take us so long to even get started on a defense project like this?

Damn, sad to hear. But, at least she'll live on through the lasting impact of her work on Star Trek. People will still be appreciating her art for (hopefully) many more decades to come!

Does this mean it's not showing in theaters on release, only on Paramount+? That's a strange decision. I assume they're hoping new people will sign up for Paramount+ to see it, but showing it in theaters could get a lot of new people interested in star trek who then might be motivated to sign up and check out the shows.

Also I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Oh well.

I'm honestly not against this. I know a lot of people will be furious with Mozilla about doing anything related to advertising, but as the article says:

And, for the foreseeable future at least, advertising is a key commercial engine of the internet, and the most efficient way to ensure the majority of content remains free and accessible to as many people as possible.

We may dislike ads, but the vast majority of internet users are not going to engage with content that requires you to pay up front. Creators and journalists need money to survive, and currently, ad-supported viewing is necessary for that to happen.

Instead of just hoping that advertising somehow goes away, I'm glad that Mozilla is working on ways for ads to exist without mass individual user tracking. I wish it wasn't necessary, but wishing won't change the world.

Very beautiful! I love the irregular/interesting building shapes and the design of your temple!

That is a bonkers amount of corn though. How many colonists were you feeding?
