And how would you feel if it were $4?
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 19 hours ago:
Yeah, well you know uhh, that’s just like my opinion, man. And without pricing it is hard to say if under or over powered. But I think it is thoughtfully designed. Looks like it is well-cooled, expandable storage, programmable light strip, and you can install whatever you want in it.

I thought the GabeCube was even better.
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 1 day ago:
Valve crushed it out of the park. Great hardware and really well presented; beautiful and succinct.
- Comment on Servo: A new, independent Web Browser Engine (the core of a web browser) written in Rust. 2 days ago:
I think Servo joining LF is one of the more exciting things of the last few years in software. I really hope they keep making progress.

Also this fun old video.

The golden age of having to hear from stupid people.
- Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions 4 weeks ago:
I find multi account containers to be the best workflow ergonomics when it comes to separating logins and sessions. I think having the same bookmarks, theme, etc. is actually nice. But I’m sure many really enjoy profile swapping.

I agree, but fuck this dumb law first and foremost.
- Comment on Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state 5 weeks ago:
I get that. And believies can’t be based on reason. They’re just there. But it does generally require the ignoring of facts about the world around us. Like the same thing happens after death as before birth. You deal with loss by grieving. I don’t think they’re stupid, just regularly ignoring the simple answers to those questions.
- Comment on Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state 5 weeks ago:
It kind of is to some extent. Believing stories like this requires a certain degree of ignorance.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
If I recall correctly it was a part of how Feel Good Inc. was made. That is tangential at best, I realize, but still a fun story.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 5 weeks ago:
I agree. But you phrased it positively, and for that you must pay with digital schmeckles.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 5 weeks ago:
It is risky to say anything positive about Apple here, true or not.

Candidly, I did not expect it so soon.

Chromium is a browser. WebKit is an engine. Maybe you meant Blink?
- Comment on Firefox Finally Introducing Matroska / MKV Playback Support 2 months ago:
Here is a pretty good write up on it. They aren’t that different but generally I think mkv is preferred in high quality since it can handle more tracks and more codecs.

Worth mentioning you are a okay not to update.

They aren’t; it isn’t languishing at all. It is being actively developed. Check out the commit log.
- Comment on Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human 2 months ago:
They also abandoned it. It has been picked up by the Linux Foundation though, which is exciting.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 2 months ago:
What? Map projections are not projected to manipulate you psychologically. They are projected to manipulate a three dimensional object onto a two dimensional surface.

You can install a wireguard spk from blackvoid - Wireguard SPK for your Synology NAS.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 2 months ago:
Oh boy! Are you serious? Let me be more precise, in case. There aren’t actual projections that are better in all cases than the Mercator projection. There are maps that are better in given cases. ALL maps have trade offs. The one you shared, included. It certainly benefits from the humor of pointing out why this is an issue in the first place.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 2 months ago:
I don’t believe that 99% figure for a second. Unless geography is removed from all curricula worldwide. Even still, that ignorance would not signify what this movement implies. It is a useful map; end of story. If the movement were, “We should increase public knowledge of geography and how projections work,” fine. But it isn’t.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 2 months ago:
There aren’t better maps. Only maps with different tradeoffs. ALL 2d maps of spheres are disproportionate.
- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 2 months ago:
This is such a garbage take. There is no way to “show our world as it truly is” in two dimensions. I’m all about showing other projects and orientations. Classrooms should have “upside down” maps and Albert maps for example. But we should also teach that each projection has benefits and drawbacks. I was taught that decades ago. Have we stopped?
