By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don't plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?

If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?

We consider people's private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.

I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.

When I search for stuff I don't seem to get anything.

I'm trying to picture how the other room music is supposed to work. Are you cranking the volume on your TV speakers loud enough to hear in the other toom, or using the PC to control an extra set or far away speakers, or did people used to wire their houses with everywhere speakers controlled from a single receiver?

Great video. Haven't finished it yet, but did he ever explain why you'd want your media center to be luggable? I feel like if they'd ditched the screen and keyboard they would have something better than a modern streaming box except in 2006, but maybe they sold something like that too.

Only very occasionally. Masters of Doom and Ubik are examples. I like being able to hand copies of books to friends and family to borrow and I can't do that with an ebook.

I tell myself I will reread some books, but I can't imagine ever really doing that. Maybe when my brain is less plastic some day.

You can get extremely heavy switches which will give you more of that old school typing experience. I like Zealeos and Gazzew Boba U4 68gs. I find the cherry browns way too light.

Imo this video is probably hard to follow without a lot of context. I was kinda hoping for a more serious treatment. It Came From Something Awful contains a lucid account of this time.

Yeah, that is admittedly a big drawback for YT

I like YT Music better than Spotify because user uploads cover the gaps in Spotify's catalog. Bootlegs, concert recordings, obscure game soundtracks, it has everything.

I haven't seen any showstoppers besides very small sometimes garbled text (maybe exclusive to my obscure distro) and intro movies crash. People have been working on repackaging them and there's a suite of tools which may help. I'll admit that I've been working on my own various EV clones a lot more than I've actually been playing EV for a long while, but it remains a favorite.

the EV games combine asteroids style flight with choose your own adventure text walls. I recommend Nova. You'll need to run it in WINE.
