From my understanding, it's either client or server side software for online multiplayer games to try and prevent people from using 3rd party tools or hacks to gain an advantage from ruining the experience of other players. I can't give a more technical answer, though, as to how it works. Someone else would have to provide that.
Best case scenario, I find some linguist willing to pay me to help with their understanding of the language. Worst case scenario, I'm the only person who can speak this language.
Also, if nothing else, I could impress people by being the only person in the world who speaks a specific language.
I feel as though there is money making opportunity in 8. The language is dead? Nobody alive who can speak the language, so I'd have more or less free reign to profit off of being the only person who could speak it.
That's what I used. My usual SearX instance I really like has been failing recently, so I switched to another reliable one, both German hosted instances.
Edit:
I have also noticed other strange things, like how I'll have an instance set to English but sometimes find miscellaneous posts in other non-Latin alphabet using languages. I presume that's just because it's a generic thing I'm searching, like a game or some common software. But I still find it weird.
That's history that, at least in my region, we learn about in school. For the most part, we let them do their thing nowadays and aren't actively commiting genocide on them. Police brutality on them may speak differently, but the majority of people who aren't racist and/or rich already want the police gone because of their brutality.
As for the rest of the states, it's a mixed bag due to bad eggs, but I'm fairly certain the official government stance is accepting of the fact we've treated both natives and African Americans bad. It's why we learn about it. Tried looking it up, but was suspiciously finding a lot of content from Chinese embassies in America about how we need to come to terms with the Native American genocides and atrocities, from around the same time as the tribunal, maybe a month or two after people started reporting on it. Very suspicious timing on their part. Couldn't find what I was looking for because I kept getting Chinese (.gov.cn) links over any official US links, which is very suspicious to me because it looks a lot like search result rigging in my eyes.
Only other alternatives I know are either Safari if you're on an apple device or something like Links/Links2/Lynx if you don't mind text based browsers. Neither are convenient for their own reasons, but it's not like we have any other choices. At least not that I'm aware of.
Whelp, I know who to call traitors.tl the free world: anyone who takes the bait here. Not saying America is the better option currently, but definitely a lot better than the "There's No Genocide In Xinjiang Despite An Independent Tribunal Saying There Is!" China team.
People don't care and will still buy them anyways. Similar thing has been going down with sports games like madden and nba for years yet people still buy them.
Couldn't tell you if it was AI upscaling a normal upscaler, but the only time I've ever had to delete a torrent from my external hard drive was an upscaled cartoon where you could really tell it was upscaled. The outlines didn't look right and things just looked kinda blurry and slightly fuzzy and off somehow. So, definitely depends on how it was upscaled.
Played the game Me And My Shadow. It's an abandonware open source 2D puzzle platformer for windows that apparently was last updated in 2021, with source package last updated 2 years prior according to the last github nightly build release. Repo was archived January of this year. Not really a cool and exciting game at all compared to other open source games like Mindustry or SuperTuxKart or SRB2.
Just for some of the quality of life features included, Sonic Mega Collection Plus. The gamecube version may have been my first foray into classic Sonic, but eh PS2 is in my opinion the better version if you're a more casual player like me because savestates.
Also, I need to get onto actually playing them, but I recently got all 3 of the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games on PS2. I played enough on Dolphin that I knew I had to pick it up on PS2 (since I don't have a gamecube). From the couple levels I played in the first game, definitely a fun game and one I personally have enjoyed.
Also, big shout-out to the only Star Wars Battlefront games I acknowledge existing.
International law or not, it's assets from a country currently trying to take control of a free country. Besides, it harms the Russian war effort when you use their own assets against them and might make them think twice against them invading another country.
I blame Nixon for this one. Opening and normalizing relations with a communist country under a time when America was at an ideological war with the communists was dumb at best and treasonous at worst, at least in my opinion.
If we're talking strictly design, my personal favorite is a generic fat PS2, probably tied with my model 1(?) Sega Genesis (none of the things like 32x or CD, which I desperately want to get some day).
If we're talking like PC with OS, the 90s Amiga lineup because I think the Amiga Workbench 3 line and the icons they used look absolutely beautiful. Definitely would love to get my hands on a 1200, but they're expensive. So no getting into that hobby for me just yet.
