This is a more than clear corporate statement from Microsoft's side that Microsoft is perfectly fine if copyrights are violated (implicitly including Microsoft's), as long as, if they get caught, people start giving proper credits. This implicitly implies that Microsoft promises that from now on they will only sue for getting proper attribution in case of copyright violations, and not for monetary compensation for damages.
I find this implicit statement really nice from Microsoft's side - actually more than what I could ever have wished for. :-)
Yeah, but the reason I gave it up was that the world moved on, and it hasn't stopped since. I'm still considering maybe getting a beefed up version at some point; but there are so many options floating around out there, very confusing for someone who hasn't been in the loop for a while.
Yes there are a plethora of options now. If I could do this hobby again I should have stopped with emulation using WinUAE. It costs nothing and takes zero physical desk space, but all the goodies are available to download and emulate.
I let my Amiga hobby lapse. I realized that what I wanted was friends to come over so we could play together. But we never meet up like that any more. Everyone has kids. And now I have 8 Amigas that are collecting dust.
Oh wow. I remember the first time I played on an Amiga, freshman year college, 1988. Growing up on Commodores and Apple II and DOS, it looked like science fiction. I thought a 3.5” floppy was a hard drive.
We played a lot of a split-screen air combat game that was fun. And a racing game that was unreasonably hard.
There's a monthly Norwich Amiga Group meeting not too far from where I live - there's usually around 20 people there with various machines, and occasional 2- or 4-player game tournaments!
I didn't read his comment as saying that HN is turning into Reddit, just a bit of a joke about some people not minding or flexing the intensity of the "idle" state of their lab
(1) Are you missing some words in your sentence? I would understand your point if you said "don't post comments ** like that ** it makes HN feel like it is turning into Reddit **.
However I cannot understand how you extrapolated that I actually stated that Hacker News is turning into Reddit. That is factually and materially evident by my non-editable comment above.
I assume that you meant (1) and I can understand where you are coming from.
However we are just extremely into hosting our own servers and services. Some go to extremes, and there really are no places on the internet like /r/homelab and /r/homedatacenter , maybe only /r/selfhosted .
