@pandora_parrot it's essentially tribalism, right? the capital systems of social networks encourage and reinforce behavior that makes us more antagonistic to each other than we otherwise would be.

I have had productive face-to-face conversations with "truscum" folks about trans identity in the 2010s that weren't adversarial at all, that I'm sure would have gone very differently in a social media setting.

@Galuade@snouts.online gearbox also did the excellent halo pc port, and the unreleased Dreamcast half life port

IN THE FIRST AGE, IN THE FIRST BATTLE

This is particularly silly because Chrome itself even handles the Google Translate integration by observing a combination of Content-Language and the lang attribute of the HTML tag. So some parts of Google seem to recognize this standard, while the search indexer uses fucking content heuristics and separate IPs to detect content language, and totally ignores the standard headers and html features.

@trysdyn yup. It really speaks volumes to the imperialist mindset of tech companies assuming the world is divided cleanly by state borders with singular "native" languages.

Example: just because I am accessing a Google site from an IP geolocated in Japan does not mean I want content localized in Japanese. Especially if my browser is already telling the web server I want it in English. Which it is.

Google is causing incalculable damage to the global web with its search indexer not respecting Accept-Language and Content-Language and encouraging webmasters to detect language preferences by IP geolocation instead of respecting the user agent's explicitly provided preference.

I have just been made aware that the composer for the Quake mission packs was Jeehun Hwang, who also did the soundtrack to Dark Reign, a 90s RTS I really love

modern light compilers are SO COOL
