Does matrix have it’s own built-in video/voice group chats now? Last time I checked (several years ago) they were just using Jitsi for groups.

No clear line, but to me a script is tying together other programs that you run, those programs themselves are the programs. I guess it’s a matter of how complex the logic is too.

Yep, in my mind piping together other commands is scripting not programming, exactly what shell scripts are for!

Wouldn’t something interpreted like python be a better solution?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

Shell is great, but if you’re using it as a programming language then you’re going to have a bad time. It’s great for scripting, but if you find yourself actually programming in it then save yourself the headache and use an actual language!

I imagine that’s the only thing they could get the publishers to agree to. Still, it’s better than nothing!

I think there is a digital games storefront that lets you sell your games (robot cache maybe?) and it seems pretty NFT-ish, so yeah

“Now go tell those experts who the real guy who once read a blog is” is my new favourite response

Doesn’t “foresee” mean to look forward, to predict?

publishers literally do not care about existing customers

I’d disagree on this, if they didn’t care about existing customers they’d be making new games instead of remaking games that people already know and like! Sure they might not care about the small fraction of existing customers with very strong opinions, but the market of “oh I remember that game!” is much more lucrative.

~oh no~

True, but there are plenty of alternatives waiting in the wings the moment they try and fill it with ads

Short for “the foreseeable future”

Are sub and superscript officially supported by markdown now? Or is that a Lemmy-specific extension?

You can, and it’ll probably get annoying if everyone catches on!

Group chats? They’ve replaced almost everything I used to use Facebook for.

It depends on the laws in the country, I very much doubt mine are the same as yours

Lousy Smarch weather!

I was quite excited when I saw the first one of these pop up, but if every IP owner and their mum is going to release their own dedicated emulator (only capable of playing their pre-installed games, of course) then I fear you’re right.

Why not make a machine that can play your games and other games too? Maybe include a digital shop, maybe a desktop and the ability to run Windows and Linux binaries…
