Whilst the social media ban is well-intentioned, it’s unlikely to work given the mass adoption of VPNs. It will also mean the introduction of Digital ID via the back door. The real answer here is handsets for children with limited features.

Northern Ireland remaining in the EU single market for goods means we have an entire region running as a counterfactual on how much wealthier we’d have been had we stayed. It’s actually outperformed London.

If you plan on trading the SpaceX, $SPCX, IPO today, here are our pointers: When an IPO debuts, the stabilizing agent attempts to minimize volatility and maintain orderly market conditions. However, there will be extreme volatility at the open which means you must exercise caution: 1. AVOID using market orders as bid/ask spreads can widen significantly 2. Use LIMIT orders until trading conditions stabilize Additionally, if you were allocated shares at the $135 IPO price, be aware of your brokerage's IPO "flipping policy." Examples include: 1. Fidelity: Selling within 15 calendar days can result in losing access to future IPO allocations for 6 months, with harsher penalties for repeat violations 2. Robinhood: Selling within 30 days can restrict access to future IPOs for 60 days 3. ETrade: Selling within 30 days may impact eligibility for future IPO allocations Before trading, be sure to review your brokerage's IPO policies.

Opinion: You might have thought the world’s richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history’s biggest IPO. Yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site. ft.trib.al/wsenHsI

I have to stop boring all of you with my game ports but I ported another game to web with multiplayer, after Quake 1 yesterday and Quake 2 today, I thought, what if I ask Fable to port Return to Castle Wolfenstein from 2001? And of course it just did it with ease and put it at rtcw.pieter.com with multiplayer working! I'd play this game a lot and always this map mp_beach, it's like the WW2 Omaha Beach landing, you have to breach the wall with dynamite and get "ze sekret dokuments" I asked it at 15:50 "do you think we can do RTCW?" and 18:18 I joined the game and could play it, so about 3 hours but I also went to gym in that time for an hour, so I'd say an hour total What it did (in Fable's own words) is some crazy hackery that I could never, or it would have taken me probably a year, not an hour! 🤯🤯🤯 - Started from iortcw, the GPL source port of RTCW (ioquake3-based) - Borrowed the emscripten patches from Wwasm (a single-player-only WASM port) — but it patches the SP tree, and RTCW's MP codebase diverges heavily (1,400 lines different in some files), so I diffed Wwasm vs clean SP to extract the patch set, then re-grafted each #ifdef __EMSCRIPTEN__ block into the MP code by hand - Compiled the MP engine to WebAssembly with emscripten GL4ES (translates the game's OpenGL 1.x calls → WebGL2) - Fixed what the graft missed: GL4ES init lived in SP's renderer file, MP uses a different one → "OpenGL 1.1 required" crash until I added initialize_gl4es() to MP's R_Init - Re-enabled networking (Wwasm disables it for SP) and patched out the fatal 1.41 point-release check - Built the native iowolfded dedicated server from the same source (so client/server protocols paks match exactly), systemd service on mp_beach - The 2001 CD ISO's data is buried in a Wise installer Setup.exe — Wine wouldn't install (i386 dep hell), so I used offzip to scan the binary for deflate streams and carved out the intact pak0.pk3 (316MB) mp_pak0.pk3 (all 8 MP maps incl. mp_beach) UI menu pak - Client fetches the paks over HTTPS into the emscripten filesystem before engine boot (held with a "run dependency"), mounted as IndexedDB (IDBFS) so the 380MB downloads once ever

Yes, he is a scumbag and traitor
