"Before"? Our Poetteringware hateboners are ALWAYS at full blast. Why in the hell would I need the services of Pulse when I have a perfectly good piece of hardware that lets me have 32 threads in simultaneous ghettoblaster concert at the same time without the need of extra software?! So you can redirect sound to a sound device on a different computer across the internet, obviously. Isn't that how everyone uses their computer? --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Well, this is weird(in more ways than one)... https://animenostalgia.tumblr.com/post/186235709729/to-celebrate-serial-experiments-lains-recent The show has been made "open source" for the next 9 years, apparently mostly in response to how no one can get the PS1 "game" anymore, and it wasn't very good in the first place. To clarify, they aren't giving people permission to use the original animation and official illustrations, but they ARE giving people(but not corporations) explicit permission to use the setting and logo(Illustrator file available upon request). So I guess it's kinda like Doom, in that the engine is free but not the WADs. https://www.translatetheweb.com/?from=&to=en&dl=en&a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcuni.co.jp%2Frondorobe%2Fanime%2Flain%2Fttl%2F The terms of the license are a little dubious, but it is still ... an interesting experiment, I guess. Give the fans permission to run wild and do what they will(as long as they don't do anything illegal or disrespectful or pornographic or cultish, I guess?), including sell their work. I'm curious to see what, if anything, comes out of this. In before the thread gets derailed into a dozen pages of rants about misuse of the term "open source" and valid-but-Stallman-disapproved meaning of the word free. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Chronicles is no Rondo of Blood, but it is probably the best version of the first game by a long shot(including Super Castlevania IV. Fight me.) Important note: In Chronicles, while selecting original mode or arrange mode, hold L1 + R1 to unlock the SC-55 soundtrack. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Lain is fantastic, though I readily admit it isn't for everyone. They've definitely expanded things over the usual japanese fan-work status, though. Pretty sure the japanese-only thing is because international copyright law is complicated. That or they don't want to stomp on their licensee's toes too badly(though I doubt they would offend Funimation terribly). --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

" Well, that's equivalent exchange for you. If you remove one such protocol, another must take its place. X is more disgusting than PulseAudio, so I think we got a good deal. " PulseAudio doesn't replace X11. It runs ALONGSIDE X11. You're not removing one such protocol, you're just doubling down. And, well, X11 has never been concerned with audio even before everyone broke network transparency. If X had actually contained audio support, all the Unixes and their clones would be in a much better place today, audio-wise. There'd be ONE overly-complicated stack of easily-broken software to contend with instead of two. Anyways, streaming audio over the network is a niche use and should not be baked into the sound stack by default. It should be an extension or an additional shim on top of the rickety jenga tower that is Linux audio. I don't disagree that X11 is kind of a mess, especially for modern usage patterns. But network transparency WAS a key feature of the task it was originally designed for. Much of the system's complexity, in fact, is because of the usage it was designed for. The real problem is people using X Windows for something it wasn't intended to be, a graphical interface for a single-user computer with no remote processing, and kludging new paradigms on top of it instead of creating something new. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by tomman Scope and scale. Ueda's actively encouraging people to make massive works of all sorts and then make mad bank off them(though they are encouraged to not become obsessed by profit, and also to not completely ignore costs until they go broke).
It feels like a Lain-ish thing to do. I kinda love the "off-kilter" schedule. (Nine years, starting on the 21st anniversary of the show's broadcast. Even decades are for chumps. ) --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Except it wasn't an exchange. X11 was not removed when PulseAudiargh was added. It was just another festering boil. The bright spot was that it only infested Linux instead of all the Unix clones, derivatives, and knockoffs, but really that just aggravated the "develop for Linux and screw portability" issue that'd already ripped through the community so even THAT wasn't a win. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Shit, anime has a proud tradition of not taking death threats seriously. When Hideaki Anno got death threats over how Evangelion ended, you kno what he did? He took photos of them and put them in the Eva movie, as a final mockery to the obsessive freaks that would send a man death threats over a cartoon. He damn sure didn't shut Gainax down over it. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |
