  • Commodore Industries Is Trying To Prevent The Revived Commodore International From Using The Iconic Name

    Jump

  • I also thought buying the name for so much money (over a million, and Peri refinanced his house to afford it) just wasn't worth it.

    But with so much invested now, they're likely to fight it out in court to the end. Apparently the Italian company's ownership of the name is dubious, but it will still be costly to fight.

  • Ah! Totally misinterpreted your comment then, sorry 😅

  • The Pacifist's Guide to Civilization 6

    Jump

  • I thought its discussion of how much Civilization focuses on conquest, colonization, and combat over most other systems, to the point of it becoming a bit ridiculous if you try to go pacifist, was interesting. The year it was written didn't seem a detriment.

    How To Start A Union: Step By Step | The Class Room ft. Sohla & Ham

  • Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?

    Jump

  • The Japanese stock market crash of 1987 only recovered in 2020. That's over 30 years.

    If that happened in the US, the average american who invested in the stock market and is relying on a 401k to retire would be screwed.

    I just saw a General Strike poster have his account taken down

    Jump

  • No, that's the Teamsters you're thinking of, more specifically, Sean O'Brian, who did attempt to cozy up to Trump and the republican party. The membership of the Teamsters itself has a significant amount of MAGA members as well, and they often endorse republican politicians.

    the UAW's leadership is far more class conscious in comparison, and endorsed Kamala in the election (the Teamsters chose not to endorse anyone to not piss off their MAGA members).

    Saying that, virtually all US Unions are pretty wimpy, and seem to loathe the idea of actually striking or making big moves to save themselves compared to European unions. The IWW is the sole exception, but unfortunately they don't have the numbers compared to the big unions.

  • The most serious proposal for a general strike date is backed by the UAW for May 1st 2028, but that was planned before Trump won the election.

    Jump

  • If you're using that currently, do you notice that on a fresh reboot, if you sit at the desktop and just wiggle the mouse for a while, or keep creating selection boxes with your mouse, KDE will freeze for a random amount of time?

  • Great games you would recommend from before 1990?

    Jump

  • Mr.Do! Is quite fun.

    H.E.R.O. can become addicting if you don't mind initially learning its tricks through trial and error (the harder path is always the correct one). It can get pretty flow-state when you get a handle on it.

    The early Space Quest games from Sierra are fun if you don't mind using a text parser. As is Quest for Glory.

    Finally, a Mind Forever Voyaging by Infocom still holds up supremely well if you don't mind pure text adventures. The short story included in the manual alone is worth the read.

    Edit: oh, and Street Rod is still a very fun american graffiti inspired racing game.
