Current best no glitch speedrun: 27 min.
I’m trying to remember where I’ve watched it being played back then, but I can’t remember. 🙃
- Comment on I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game, hardest game I ever played 22 hours ago:
Did it always have the “The Movie: The Game” subtitle? The description doesn’t reference any other, and I’ve been familiar with I wanna be the guy, but not that subtitle.

Where is Windows ME?
It repeatedly crashed for me.
GoodAwful times. - Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 22 hours ago:
Where’s the regulation that prevents this? Appalling.

or seemingly an act of God. (In one case, a pickup truck being towed in front of a Waymo came loose and smashed into the vehicle.)
Baffling to see god mentioned as a possible cause.

Telegram is profitable through semi-pushing some cryptocurrency and selling premium. Various free-to-play games are profitable through the sale of optional content.
There are alternatives in offering delayed or optional monetary costs.

What makes me a moron?

What do you base this on?
Lemmy seem quite heavily skewed towards non-apple users.
What specifically makes me like a Hispanic Trump voter? Where’s the equivalence of self-sabotage?
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 4 days ago:
the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple
And you think calling them unintelligent will get us there?
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 4 days ago:
I have a great dislike for Apple, and have never bought or used any of their products. I still downvoted the comment because it’s wrong (use doesn’t define general intelligence), toxic, and misguided (attacks those that we would prefer to change).

What makes you think the ICEBlock app removal is about the law or following the law?
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 week ago:
You see them as desperate? Above anything, I see them as oppressive.
The actions seem similar, but their intentions are very different. They’re not scared or anxious. They’re enabled, demanding, and oppressive.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 week ago:
TikTok is a short video social platform. People post only videos. The two you mentioned are short public messaging social platforms, with the capability to post/include videos.
That’s not really what this is about, though. TikTok was not under their control, so they’re trying to take control and follow their script of media and social control.

If every performer took that approach, alternatives would become viable, and they could perform in those.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 weeks ago:
You have to design for scalability. Bottlenecks may be wherever. Even if their virtual server CPU and RAM can scale up, other stuff may be bottlenecks. Maybe the connection to the DB. Maybe the DB is elsewhere and doesn’t scale. Can’t really reasonably guess from the outside.
Mass cancellation is not usually a thing they would design around bottle-necks. It also doesn’t add value to them.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on what you see as “the job”. I would prefer many projects to be better than they currently are, both from the end user and the developer side.
When I think about the projects I have seen, you need very good people to clean up technical debt in a viable and sustainable way, as well as develop in a way that is sustainable and maintainable in a good way long term.
If you don’t have very good people, code quality devolves quickly, whereas the negative impact is felt a bit later, and at that point, it’ll be hard for most people to clean up and improve the project in a reasonable fashion, and it usually never happens.
The skill, experience, and being able to grasp what needs to be grasped gap is one thing, the time people are in a project or firm is another.
In the end, it depends on what the job is. Sure, most apps work. But there are so many applications that annoy and hinder me as a user. Even as a user, it’s a mess. I’m sure the dev team doesn’t have it much better on those projects.
With very good people acting as mentors and guidance, others can certainly get the job done, and contribute in productive ways. Most importantly, they learn and improve significantly.

- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 3 weeks ago:
There have been reports of AI data centers further draining water reserves in areas of non abundant nor sufficiently recovering water. Which has not only environment but social and human consequences in the area.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 3 weeks ago:
You say a few hours, but it seems they were locked out for days.
If they also did a short pre investigation, was it in adequate form, if this kind of thing is the result?
We only see from the outside, and they say they can’t really see much internally either. Send all very wishy washy. If that’s the case, is that enough to block accounts for days, it should they do their full investigation and then block to reduce false positive impact?
- Comment on Atlassian goes cloud-only, customers face integration issues 3 weeks ago:
Our migration was a mess. And took a long time. I don’t know how much our contracted company was at fault. They certainly didn’t do a good job. We have Jira extended for time management to billing and staff pay and whatnot.
I have some CSS Hacks to make the cloud version usable, but the DOM is a mess. Only test id attributes are reasonable, stable, and descriptive. Everything else is random in terms of class and id.
Occasionally, something changes. Despite a dedicated maintenance window by Atlassian, and marketing towards predictiveness and all that positive stuff, occasionally something changes without warning, without announcement. And you’re left wondering - is my memory getting that bad? Is this new?
My last highlight is that they converted migrated images in Jira ticket descriptions into some square image control. Something you can’t even use for new images. Pasting or dropping an image into the description will lead to something different. When it’s attached as an attachment, like it was in the past, you can only include it into the description as a fixed attachment either inline control or inline fixed preview control.
If you have an old description with rectangular screenshots, you know, possible because you have a widescreen monitor, or because we have width space and make use of it for content, the square adds a ton of whitespace. Make the image big enough to be readable, and the only thing on your entire screen is the image and dead space, half of the height dead space.
There’s many annoying and horrendous things.
Worst is we contracted some third party for a custom menu and whatnot. We have a browser extension for that, for Jira and Confluence. I have all three functionality sets disabled because it makes it even slower or broken.
It works for the most part, but man, there’s so many irritations and annoyances.
- Comment on Pay-per-output? AI firms blindsided by beefed up robots.txt instructions. 3 weeks ago:
evolves robots.txt instructions by adding an automated licensing layer that’s designed to block bots that don’t fairly compensate creators for content
robots.txt - the well known technology to block bad-intention bots /s
What’s automated about the licensing layer? At some point, I started skimming the article. They didn’t seem clear about it. The AI can “automatically” parse it?
# NOTICE: all crawlers and bots are strictly prohibited from using this # content for AI training without complying with the terms of the RSL # Collective AI royalty license. Any use of this content for AI training # without a license is a violation of our intellectual property rights. License: https://rslcollective.org/royalty.xml
Yeah, this is as useless as I thought it would be. Nothing here is actively blocking.
I love that the XML then points to a text/html content website. I guess nothing for machine parsing, maybe for AI parsing.
I don’t remember which AI company, but they argued they’re not crawlers but agents acting on the users behalf for their specific request/action, ignoring robots.txt. Who knows how they will react. But their incentives and history is ignoring robots.txt.
Why
am Iis this comment so negative. Oh well. - Comment on Plex got hacked. 4 weeks ago:
That assumes the salt was also compromised/extracted. Unfortunately, they don’t say. Which one could read as not compromised. But they’re not transparently explicit about it.
I was surprised they didn’t recommend changing passwords elsewhere, too. I would also prefer them to be transparent about how they were vulnerable/attacked.
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 4 weeks ago:
They say password were securely hashed, following best practices, which would include a salt, which is different elsewhere.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 4 weeks ago:
I started buying Intel CPUs because they allowed me to build high-performance computers that ran Linux flawlessly and produced little noise.
I find it funny that they mention noise level, as if the CPU itself were making noise. I’ve bought silent fans all my life, separately from CPUs.
