I don’t follow Meta services, but for the record, I think you’re talking about the EU Digital Markets Act and its interoperability requirements of gatekeepers.

Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…

…by abandoning it.

Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)

What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?

Also, units of fun earned while watching other people play.

One nice thing about an arcade is that you can see regular people (not streamers/professionals/actors) interacting with a game, and notice subtleties that aren’t represented in a bullet list or trailer video.

What makes you think that? It’s possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there’s no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.

I don’t think so. There’s no mention of it on their site.

Do you know who made the port?

Thanks for the perspective. :)

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)

Are you including Brave New World in that comparison? I’ve never played Civ 5 without it.

I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good

Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?

Edit for anyone else wanting to answer: Please specify whether you’re including Brave New World (or Gods and Kings) in your comparison, since those expansions significantly improved upon the original Civ 5 release.

Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.

We’re not discussing what someone would use for themselves. We are discussing what someone would use when writing about a hypothetical person.

If you believe that he or him would never be used in this case, then I suggest you do some research on the history of language.

Edit to clarify: And by history, I include recent history, meaning usage by people alive today, who learned it in school not terribly long ago.

Either a male person or a hypothetical person whose gender is unknowable.

None of what you claim was done in the document being discussed.

It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down

No, but choosing either the male or female pronoun when writing about a hypothetical person has been the convention for a long time, and using the male one has been the usual default for far longer than any of us has been alive. It’s not to push women down; it’s a grammar compromise, and is not exclusive English.

You are misunderstanding the language as it was used, and you have jumped to a false conclusion that seems to make you so angry that you think it’s okay to publicly vilify someone… for your own mistake.

I hope things get better for you.

Good day.
