"Being able to say, âwherever you get your podcastsâ is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience." anildash.com/2024/02/06/wherevâŚ

I'm genuinely surprised to see that plants have double the biomass of bacteria, since the latter would have been my bet for the top spot. I also would have guessed more terrestrial arthropods, but I guess we should be lucky that Earth no longer has high enough oxygen concentrations for those eagle-sized dragonflies and lizard-sized centipedes.
all those stickers, skins etc can get to f*** but Arms Race might just get me to try CS again after several months. (just to see that it is full of cheaters of course)
Well, that was a bit of a surprise. Valve has once again put up a Lunar New Year Sale, even though they previously announced they wouldn't be doing one.
Other positive things are OSS Remakes of other Games of the HL Universe wich use Black Mesa's Engine. One of them is the "Blue Shift" Remake, wich I can regard to every Fan of the series. The last Chapter will come out this summer.
