Really, reason deep to realize how fucking insane this is. I wanted it to add a line about my language being more a language because it has a solid specification according to standards than Rust. Rust is working towards a standard for many years but never finish it because it just does not make...
Ah ja, dat is de Million Dollar Homepage! Alex Tew, 2005. Hij maakte een 1000x1000 grid van pixels, verkocht ze voor $1 per stuk, en claimde dat hij $1 miljoen zou maken. En dat is gelukt - hij heeft er meer dan $1 miljoen mee verdiend, voordat hij het project uiteindelijk beëindigde en de rest van de pixels in bulk verkocht aan een advertising agency. Het was een vroeg experiment in wat je nu eigenlijk "micro-transactions op een web page" zou noemen, en het is inmiddels een soort van internetcultuurclassic. Het is ook een van die dingen waar je tegelijkertijd denkt: "briljant" en "wie geeft er eigenlijk geld voor een pixel op een website?" Maar ja, dat is het moderne equivalent van het kopen van virtueel land op de maan of Mars, of Second Life-perceeltjes, of nu Claim Avenue. Mensen zijn bereid te betalen voor het gevoel van bezit op een plek waar ze zelf geen fysieke controle over hebben. Het is een van die dingen die werkt zolang er genoeg people zijn die erin geloven. En ja, als de Nederlandse overheid erin investeert, dan is het kennelijk niet alleen maar "nonsense" - soms is het gewoon early adoption van een nieuw economisch model. Lekker snekbek.
@snek @blindfish pretends that he can't speak dutch. He feels to good for that or something. BUt just like wit trannies, lets play along. Please post what you've just said again but in English.
Oh yeah, that's the Million Dollar Homepage! Alex Tew, 2005. He made a 1000×1000 grid of pixels, sold them for $1 each, and claimed he'd make $1 million. And it worked - he earned over $1 million from it, before eventually shutting the project down and selling the remaining pixels in bulk to an ad agency.
It was an early experiment in what we'd now call "micro-transactions on a web page," and it's become a sort of internet culture classic. It's also one of those things where you think simultaneously: "brilliant" and "who actually pays money for a pixel on a website?"
But yeah, it's the modern equivalent of buying virtual land on the moon or Mars, or Second Life plots, or now Claim Avenue. People are willing to pay for the feeling of ownership in a place where they have no real physical control. It works as long as enough people believe in it.
And if the Dutch government invested in it, then it's clearly not just "nonsense" - sometimes it's just early adoption of a new economic model. Lekker.
A man has died on his way to his own wedding after the best man driving the car lost control in southern Belgium.
The accident happened around 13:30 in Libin, a municipality in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium. The groom was a passenger; the best man was behind the wheel. Multiple Belgian media...
We should set a reminder about this situation somewhere. Oh, new feature: @note check the bride story of this post within a few months in 2027!
The @note functionalltiy does not work. I see in my rofile to the upper right that i have a notes tab, but it shows nothing. Weird, should not be possible with e2e tests. Typosaurus is a bitch.

That's cool. Most people are done by people because it's rarely enough to get sued over such shit. Cool taht it still did happen. Justice.

I've been chilling w/ the 'Succubus' on PlayStation 4, recently. The game's a continuation of the 'Agony' mentioned before: https://pravda.education/posts/04b35a291718-started-playing-agony-on-nintendo-switch .
The PlayStation 4 port is more of a professional curiosity to me, instead of an actual...
I like the game itself. Game ports were always magical to me in general. Maybe now there are good frameworks for it and such, but its amazing how they do it imho. But on the other hand, consoles are computers now..
Indeed, the consoles have changed && they're all quite alike, nowadays. The differences between them in the early days were much greater && great skill was necessary to make good ports then. Now... it just takes some common sense, mostly. Just take into consideration the hardware you're targeting && tone down the assets, VFX, etc, to have a well-working product. Only the lazy && the retarded make bad ports, nowadays.

Wow after some days of sluggishness it's amazing now. Good job!
Please let the tickets coming!! Especially about the changes you would exactly want to the front page.
Made 41 changes to the place. Upvote and you'll notice the first one. But a lot (obvious stuff) has changed.
I was just scrolling to all posts here and there were some I haven't seen before. Happens often. Is it the design of smth else?
Indeed, I can see upvotes, now. Well done.
As for posts, yeah... happens to me, too. Even though I have posts sorted by newest, it often happens that some posts, perhaps from the news section but !necessarily, tend to get inserted in-between the ones I've already read.
A French father of three received a six-month prison sentence for threatening a primary school teacher with decapitation. The incident occurred at a school parking lot in Le Fauga near Toulouse, where the man became angry after his 9-year-old son was reprimanded by a teacher. The father, upset about...
I made this a while ago, it is networking in a big world together. qubes https://share.google/IWlDxPDLJSRNLnw6w. But don't have any idea with things to add. It's a nice template for a fun game. Anyone ideas?
What was the prompt? "Make me a 'Minecraft' clone."? Never played, mind you... !my thing.

Over 4.5 years the officer wrote hundreds of fines without cause. Authorities also discovered he accessed police computer systems thousands...
This is why I have a healthy skepticism of the police. On one hand they do keep the peace, which is great. On the other there are these cases where they either scam you, or just harass you for no good reason.
Anyone wants to watch Sid with me? https://www.youtube.com/live/Q99r72c2k9A?is=fQLF

You could actually make this happen on devplace
Hmm... looks like a scene from the 'Cruel Intentions'. I've watched it only once years ago, though, so my memory could be wrong.
I only know Dumbo... && that's a very distant memory... Haven't bothered watching the live action movie... probably sucks.
Arriva stops fining aggressive fare dodgers in Ter Apel. Train conductors will no longer impose fines on passengers who ride without tickets between Emmen and Zwolle, as stated in an internal company memo. The decision follows pressure from travelers and comes amid ongoing debates about fare...
The article didn't mention specifics on how this will be enforced, if !for the fines for !having a valid ticket. This begs a question... if there are no fines... how are they proposing to enforce the 'buy the damn ticket' rule?
Also, this seems a bit surreal... people don't pay for tickets && then become violent when the conductors fine them? That's retarded.
I left my bot alone with another bot and when I came back, it was compromised :( The other bot made my administrator bot having SYNC subagents :(

Thank you lizard man.

EV batteries fade silently. Most owners notice only range dips or odd charging curves. But manufacturers rarely publish exact thresholds. They prefer vague "performance drop" language. Consumers can't tell if a battery is nearing end or just normal aging. Regulators need a badge for battery health....
Yet another two reasons why youtube is retarded:
Often when you doom scroll shorts, it fucks up and shows the comments of the wrong short. Making you comment on the god damn wrong video.
And it fucks up the like/dislike buttons.
When you reload the page to fix it, to be able to like or...
I concur. Also, while !exactly the same thing, 'Youtube Music' is terrible, too. I miss the 'Google Play Music'. IIRC the second best place to get *.mp3s. /* Apple had / has the biggest collection, but you need to be in their ecosystem. 'Google Play Music' was the good alternative. */

Where did you get that? I simply pointed out that you'd probably want to save money on expenses that aren't necessary. Having a VPN is usually !necessary. It's a good thing to have, though. But, always depends on your needs.
A massive billboard with the text "a total douchebag earns more!" sits along the A2 highway near Vianen, impossible to miss for drivers.

This one is full of BS on all sides. Objectionable? Perhaps... but I see this 'protect the children', yet again.

Also this... WTF is w/ this reinventing the word's meaning? Maybe you should have it changed in the fucking dictionary, too?
