That’s Sous Vide. You must have meant those large cars that replaced station wagons.

Saw this on my bird calendar last week. Would have been better if it was positioned next to the pair of “Great Tits” that were in another photo.

126Saying “over” is the old radio protocol. The new radio protocol is starting by saying the number of characters in the message.

If the concern is that the files would be out of order when displayed in a file browser, Windows File Explorer actually accounts for this by sorting the number parts of a file sequentially in the case of multiple files sharing the same prefix. E.g. “file_10.txt” will sort after “file_9.txt” and not in between “file_1.txt” and “file_2.txt” as you would expect from a naive alphabetical sorting.

I still use leading zeroes though. It looks a lot more pleasant when the file names are the same length.

Edit: I just now realized that the graphic is more privacy-focused rather than consumer-rights-focused. I don’t know what privacy issues Steam has specifically, so its inclusion on this list may not be justified regardless of any anti-consumer practices.

I’m not ditching my 20yo steam account on behalf of this graphic

I think that’s why they were included in this graphic. They provide DRM games that are vendor-locked to their platform. They require that you buy a game from them to download mods from the workshop, even if that game doesn’t use a Steam-specific modding framework (Slay the Spire and Black Ops 3 for example). They tie that account to many services in order to make it difficult to leave their platform. Services such as: per-game community forums, friend lists with direct messaging and multiplayer integration, VAC anti-cheat, and achievement tracking.

I like Valve, they contribute a lot to open source. But be honest, if Epic Games did 1/10 of this, they would be accused of trying to build a walled garden like Apple.

It will be absolute hell if Steam ever gets enshitified. It would be better if these services could follow an interoperable and open standard or were run independently. Vendor-lock from “good” corporations is still anti consumer.

Omelette du Garbage

Such unexpected behavior from a person who was unfaithful to their spouse and who brought a cameraperson into a public bathroom. I’m shocked (/s)

My dryer has a couple different presets which all adjust the remaining time dynamically according to a predetermind dryness level. To get around this, I just use the “custom” setting and change the temperature and timer manually.

I think the binary they distributed still included the art and sound assets; the users didn’t have to provide their own. And “clean-room” design is more than just providing source code. You need to provide a “paper trial” / commit history and documentation of how the final code was derived from the original code. My mistake, clean room is when you recreate the project without reading the original/compiled code at all. Specifications are written based on observed behaviors of the original user-facing program and new code is written according to that.

Maybe I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a way to release this while avoiding the issue of copyright? My understanding is that publishing “clean-room” reverse engineered code is legal. The graphics and sound can’t be redistributed, but you can distribute a tool to rip those assests from a ROM and let the users provide a ROM they own. This is what Ship of Harkinian does no?
