Thank you for discovering this, and creating awareness around it.
Seems like a genuine miss, contrary to what the comments here would have one believe, given that the compose file (and rest of the docs) were mostly derived from whatever worked for the developers themselves.
- Comment on I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game 5 days ago:
I had to read more than once to realise it is not a game about WinRar.
Having said that, all the best with the development, and may the game find love and success. :-)
- Comment on Do you like the centralized wen of today? 5 days ago:
I don’t know how you arrived at this based on what @TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca was saying.
Connection strength is a network/infrastructure problem while what was being said in the original comment is an application/usage one.
The other part of your statement can be solved using a search engine which restricts itself to just searches and not distract itself with ads and AI. But evidently such a product is hard to build in today’s world.

I had not thought of this serving as an entry ora trial for new customers. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 1 week ago:
I can rationalise holding off on buying a new phone or furniture until a sale. But for groceries?
One either needs groceries or they do not.
Perhaps, there are some categories of groceries that one may not buy unless there is a good occasion but might buy them if there is a good deal on it?
Or maybe, one may buy the pricier variety like “organic” groceries during such sales?

The article indicates this was for their Prime Day event.
Are people really waiting for an annual event to buy their groceries? Or are the Fresh delivery personnel reassigned to other verticals for the event’s duration?
Former is shocking and borderline dystopian. Latter is just poor planning and resourcing.

Oh. I only feel enlightened about anus.
I am clueless as to what it is doing in a medieval combat manual.
The most I can rationalise is that the author had a bout of frustration, and the manual was the only outlet for their thoughts.

Thank you for enlightening me.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 1 week ago:
Yep, it was one of the ways to have an animated avatar on BB forums.
Most recently, I have seen them being used in animated chat stickers (like on Signal).
- Comment on Man, I hate it when this happens! 1 week ago:
I zoomed in on the picture, and the first thing I see is the word “anus”.
I could be misreading it, but what other letter could it possibly be.
- Comment on YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures 3 weeks ago:
Yes. I was searching for a video about a panda refusing to bathe on YouTube app of a friend’s phone.
The first 4-6 results were Shorts, and I had no way of knowing if they were what I wanted apart from the thumbnails, since the titles were truncated. The next four were only semi-related videos, in the sense it was about a panda.
The rest of the videos that followed were absolutely bonkers. From Minecraft clips to random mobile arcade games I have never heard of, and many, many, MANY AI generated Chinese videos featuring a baby doing farm work, masonry, or other kinds of labor.
In a way, it felt like a display of arrogance. In the sense that YouTube was confident it had already served me what I was looking for in the first 10 results, and then said: “Now that you have seen what you searched for, why not watch this crap?”
- Comment on YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures 3 weeks ago:
One glance at the GitHub issues reveals just how much of a struggle it is for the NewPipe developers to keep the app functioning, with YouTube constantly targeting every trick they use.
It’s draining so much of their time and energy that there’s barely anything left for working on new features.
The mental exhaustion of the developers is another issue entirely, one that should be obvious to anyone familiar with the demands of maintaining a relatively popular open source project. The fact that it involves YouTube only makes things worse for them.

Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.
- Comment on What are your most played games? 6 months ago:
Most recently, Marvel’s Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.
But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.
An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.

There was one here yesterday written so poorly I feel less informed for having read it. I would like the option to take my money back for reading such a bad article.
That’s hilarious.
Do you mind sharing the post?
- Comment on Technology Connections' thoughts on Mastodon 7 months ago:
With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.
I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made.

It is subjective, I liked the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

- Comment on the emperor 7 months ago:
I only completed the game towards the end of last year or start of this year, and have been itching to play more of it.
I can only imagine how excruciating the wait has been for those who finished the game back in 2017/2018.

- Comment on Wikipedia article blocked worldwide by Delhi high court. 8 months ago:
Lot of knee jerk reaction here, to the point of not donating and abandoning the greatest collective effort made on the Internet.
The specific suspended page directly relates to an ongoing lawsuit, where WikiMedia is the defendant.
Also, Streisand effect much? :D

- Comment on Wednesday it is, my dudes. 8 months ago:
Not just song lyrics, but any piece of media
rant
This is horribly rampant issue on Reddit. Swaths of comments reduced to three-word dialogues from movies that even most Americans may not have seen. While it might be acceptable in a community specific to that piece of media, it always comes across as lazy everywhere else. A simple link to a relevant clip or snippet would help contextualise the reference, but if commenters were willing to put in that effort, they probably wouldn’t resort to quoting three-word phrases in the first place.
Unfortunately, this practice is becoming common on Lemmy.
Some might see my rant as gatekeeping, but it genuinely hinders meaningful discussion on the topic at hand.
It is a pet peeve of mine that led me to unsubscribe from many, otherwise good, subreddits and eventually leave that platform altogether (thanks to a push from its CEO).

Thank you for introducing me to KOReader and Kindle jailbreaking.
Fortunately, the Kindle Paperwhite I use is no longer supported, and is compatible with few of the jailbreaks out there.
A good rabbit to dive into over the weekend. :-)
