  It bothers me because TR2013 didn’t have to be like that. The dogs were challenging and scary. The puzzles were good. The bow and melee combat was tense. Hunting and exploration could’ve played a bigger part, the game so rarely took you off the rails and it was good when it did.

  The game could’ve been made with killing humans being rare dramatic moments, with the guns being tools of last resort.

  That’s weird, I haven’t gotten the update yet but dark mode is working fine in FF for me. The place where it fails is ff-based webapps, which I use for YouTube music, Discord, and MS Teams.

  Mozilla foundation is putting together a paid product under the Thunderbird brand. Folks are excited for that, the Firefox people are good people.

  The libertarian “don’t tread on me” wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.

  git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.

  GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.

  ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.

  Is forgejo federated yet?

  The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

  But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

  It really showed me how many of the “anti-capitalist” and the “anarchism” and “mutual aid” people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you’re too cool for the nerd shit.

  I wonder if Android Wear wouldn’t work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can’t decide if it’s stand-alone or companion to your phone.

  That’s not how inflation works.
