It's not that black and white. He was involved, but it's not known to which extent. We do know Brad Buxer, who worked with MJ, wrote the Ice Cap Zone music among other tracks, for instance, and we also know a bunch of the music was done by Sega's own composers, but it's not confirmed that MJ personally composed any music for the game himself.

I can't wait for people to discover in a few years that putting all their eggs in one basket was a huge mistake.

Gotta be 3 & Knuckles, as it overall feels strongest on gameplay, level design and music to me. Mania is definitely up there, but I'm not fond of the reuse of classic stages. Also the bosses kinda suck.

YouTube is an invaluable resource for learning this stuff. A good starting point is Ben Eater's video demonstrating how to drive a VGA display using very simple components. If you're more interested in repair, like myself, I've learnt a lot from watching videos of vintage computer restoration and repairs of not-so-vintage computers.

It works on the regular M1s, but not very usable yet. I don't think they even have an installer available.

I think the notch is going to complicate Linux support, since X11 and Wayland aren't designed to accommodate for huge gaps in the screen. They'll probably end up just cropping the display output to just below the notch, but it goes to show that supporting these machines will be a constant cat-and-mouse game.

Apple claims they get 17 hours of video playback on the 14" models, and 21 hours on the 16".

No one has reviewed these things yet, but based on my experience with the M1 Air, I'm inclined to believe the numbers.

The verdict from the medical examiner is in: "this guy's amess"

If you're gonna do this sort of thing, you want plausible deniability. Sounds like the guy just made things crash after a hardcoded date, leaving little room for doubt about his motives.

When I'm made not to waste my free time commuting, or am offered a vaccine that's voluntary to take, that is oppression. The less time commuted and more vaccines offered, the more oppressed I am.

Gonna guess it's because the union's and the recently leaked Oath Keepers' member lists intersect quite a bit. The latter is under investigation for being connected to the Capitol attack.

Not convinced these are good reasons to choose a different distro. Two of the points boil down to "the humans who made this made mistakes", and one point is an instance of internal drama/corruption (which is somehow important to outsiders?). Only the stability section comes close to making a good point.

So technically it's Thursday here, but I'm waiting eagerly to find out if Seinfeld in 4k's gonna be on Netflix from midnight onwards and I wanna talk about it now.

Update: I can now watch George's beautiful forehead in glorious 4k.

The best place to improve would be the building of assets (stylesheets, frontend JS), although this improvement wouldn't be measured by that website. The amount of resources this building consumes is ridiculous, but it pales in comparison to the bullshit I've seen in the software industry. For instance, my workplace is now throwing new laptops at us because 16 GB RAM and quad-core CPUs somehow aren't enough to get functional dev environments up and running.

It's a proof-of-concept in disrupting the advertising industry that serves no practical purpose, and is by design going to be taxing on your CPU, network, and battery. I wouldn't install it.

Also I feel like I am stuck in an endless loop working on my code. I have determined that coding is 90% putting something together, realizing there's a better way of doing it, and then redoing like 50% of your code and adding an additional 20% more code. then rinse and repeat.

This is a good way of learning, btw, even if you feel you're hitting a brick wall right now.

Been keeping an eye on how that's progressed, but seems far from usable right now. I'm very interested though, especially seeing as Apple's decided they're now going to play cop on peoples' devices.

Rapidly losing patience with my m1 macbook air. It wakes up and crashes during sleep, which often causes the battery to be depleted, and apparently this is a known issue on all the m1 machines. Great piece of hardware let down by software that sucks shit.

I'm fortunate enough that no one in my life has died of COVID, but I do worry for my family members who work jobs where physical distancing is unavoidable.

Good stuff, /u/comrade_pikachu. Here's my communist playlist.

There's no real reason. Not a lot of thought was put into how voting works, it's mostly just a gimmick for a site this small anyway.

I'm open to changes as long as they don't fundamentally change Postmill, and don't do stuff like deanonymise existing votes.
