Alley Cat, Dukem Nukem 3D, Ultima (4, 5, and 7), Daytona, Day of the Tentacle, Zack McCracken...

That's impossible, we know Anakin is Luke's dad and Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him.

I don't recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

That's s good trick.

Legally it is quite clear. Taking a description of a closed source program and writing a new one is ok in most cases (unless that description is API docs - see Cisco vs Arista). Taking a look at closed source software and then implementing your own version is poison as far as OSS goes. OP implemented the first version, so that's already a problem. They may get away is they describe what the program does to someone else and let them implement it, but OP would not be able to touch the source code

But Jaskier isn't gay in the show, either. He's bisexual.

Oh yeah, that completely changes things, and does completely fit in with the character.

I do have to admit that I did not watch the latest season, not because of Jaskier but because of what they did to Eskel in the previous season. So I took the other commenter's word that the character was made gay. I guess that's what I get for assuming honesty until proven differently on the Internet.

I believe they're referring to the character of Jaskier/Dandelion, who in the lore is a womanizing, promiscuous bard. Pretty much the DnD bard player character archetype. It is also pivotal to a number of plot points, because the character's womanizing habits frequently land him in trouble, making him a "damsel in distress" supporting character. Which in itself works better when the character is straight because it subverts the trope.

The thing is also that there's plenty of characters in the story who are or could be made gay without serious repercussions to the plot.

You are correct. A little bit hurt maybe to be grouped with the bigots, but as I said I understand the sentiment, and I also understand that in certain demographics it's close enough to the truth.

As an ally I would prefer if the second panel said "homophobes" instead of "straight people", but I get the sentiment of the meme. It's like a Bechdel for the audience.

Take a machine with Linux preinstalled. Will it run Linux without problems? Yeah, of course.

It relates to "real" (physical, tangible, immovable or inseparable) property pertaining to land. In other words land plus buildings and resources attached to it. It contrasts with personal property and intellectual property.
