In the Hackers movie "It's in that place where I put that thing that time." is what Phreak says to Kate. The place is a condom dispenser. I've always wondered, is this just a standard drop off location and distress phrase? Or does it imply Phreak and Kate got it on at some point and it's a real clue based on something she would know/remember?

The #ProjectZomboid devs have been live tweeting the game's lore in the style of a historical retelling of the events 30 years ago (The game is set in 1993).
I'm manually reposting each tweet over at @TheKnoxEvent. I'm doing it for fun, I'm just a fan of the game.
If you like #zombie#survival#games and video game #lore, it's a cool thing to look at.

Have you ever noticed that when you build an iOS app for Mac Catalyst, $PLATFORM_NAME is set to macosx?
When Catalyst was being hashed out, there was quite a bit of discussion around whether we were building against the iOS SDK on the Mac, or against a Mac SDK that happened to know about iOS. As you can guess in retrospect, the latter worldview prevailed: the Catalyst SDK is a “variant” of the Mac SDK. This made our builder tools folks quite happy, because the Catalyst SDK could be built alongside the Mac one, and Catalyst apps and daemons bundled with macOS could be built together with the rest of macOS.
Xcode, however, seems to continue to insist in its UI that Catalyst apps are actually iOS apps that happen to support the Mac.
Which worldview you choose to believe is up to you! I know which one I prefer.
Some lore stuff. I cant wait to be able to focus on my lore and story again.
