- Comment on Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial 1 day ago:
Oh yea you are right. XP was a joy to use. They have been slacking since they got that monopoly though. I am forced to use Outlook because of the company. And am always amazed how many redirects you can do for a simple authentication. Every service looks completely different and the audio in teams is so broken it cuts off for a couple of seconds and switches from mono to stereo for no apparent reason. Everything just feels like its extra work.
Switching to Linux on my private devices actually reminded me of the old windows. I just wish the UI UX of some software would be on par as well. LibreOffice and GIMP is just not fun to use.

It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.

We really do be needing a fancy xmpp client with voip with mumble or something else. Especially if https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html gets stable and implemented. I do not use xmpp, but I dont understand why it does not get the same love matrix or even irc gets. (in terms of being an alternative)

Gonna use this thread to shout out https://github.com/YTLitePlus/YTLitePlus There more than enough options for android users out there, this one is for iOS though. Tried it out this weekend on my jailbroken iPhone 6. If i read it correctly it should also be installable without a jailbreak but not that easily. Its super cool and sadly feels so weird that you got the option to do such shocking things like disabling shorts or hide certain buttons, its really fun.

ye, worst outcome would be that you compliment a little baby whos to stupid to have their own thoughts on their “work”. but who really cares about them, it is still better to falsely accusing an actual artist of using ai.

We all now the true alternative would be phpBB… /hj

Biggest number I could find is 46 Million MAOs in 2017 not sure how much truth is to that, as these came directly from Blizzard which probably had some Investors to appease. Hard to convert that to peak counts.

I do wonder what the park of Overwatch Legacy was? Don’t find anything credible on duckduckgo seems like they only publicized MAOs

Be aware that not everyone in the list has to be involved. Daniel Stenberg lead dev of curl is in there multiple times. I believe as part of the provided licenses.

Oh, I have never heard of that. Also forgot that he was still around when OW2 launched. Still believe it sucks big time to see a project go down this route especially after being such a big success. It might not be dead, but it definitely is just a shell of its past.

Overwatch is close to being a decade old btw.
It’s so unfortunate what they did to Overwatch, wonder how Jeff Kaplan and the original Team feels about all that.
- Comment on Orion Browser 2 weeks ago:
It is. After development broke down in 2022 development more active than it ever was. https://blogs.igalia.com/mrego/servo-2025-stats/ I have a binary on my machine and use it for light browsing every now and then just to check in how things are going. Its “usable” for that but would not use it for banking even if it worked.
- Comment on Orion Browser 2 weeks ago:
Not really from the grounds up as it uses WebKit.
Used it very shorty on a mac, but as it really is very similar to safari there is little to no reason to use it.
On a linux maybe, but i think i will stay on firefox until servo is usable. (Which is actually being made from the grounds up)

Youtube’s alternatives looking really sad :( Love me some Invidious but an actual alternative would be so cool. Peertube is that on paper but missing content aside i think the UI is really holding them back it’s just not inviting at all.
- Comment on Ghost Trick 3 weeks ago:
Me too!
Also playing the hidden gems I have missed back then. Its such a great system I have it everywhere I go (If they release a smaller steam deck 2 like the switch lite id consider switching to that). Even have that little step-counter on me all the time :)
Still have my R4i card but the microSD card died in the middle of backing up the save states. Mostly sad about my Wario Ware: DIY games I have made ;( but will try to give it some professional, have heard they can do some magic there if I am lucky.
I did hack it now though, the advantages are small when you already own a flash cardridge but love to be able to boot straight into my ebook reader and camera when I press a button on boot.

Whoa! I actually have not finished it myself, but am currently in the process of it. I love everything about it, its so much fun.
What system are you playing it on?

Man… :( please don’t do that. That’s super boring. They were doing so great pushing people to use Linux.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
This sums the problem up fairly nicely I think. I do wonder with Apple being a gatekeeper by EUs own definition and unfair sales terms supposed to be history with the Digital Markets Act in place this can’t go through, right?!?! at least not in the EU… assuming they do their job.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
`That’s how the system works. You don’t expect Walmart to not get a commission when you sell something at their store.
30% is reasonable. DEAL WITH IT.
Don’t like it? Make your own phone and platform.`
Opening up the comments on macrumors never disappoints me :)

Oh right… I forgot about that, must have had an actual democratic system in mind :/
- Comment on If the 2028 election was held today, who would you vote for? 3 weeks ago:
Do not live in the states, but have the feeling that with all the ICE killing going on (media makes it seem rather serious) it would have been a reduction of violence if democrats had won ‘24.
Also I do wonder aren’t there no smaller parties that might even be considered good? Sure they would not win by a long shot, it’s still a vote taken from fascists.

f4mi made a video about them last year. never knew they were a thing.
- Comment on Tips 4 weeks ago:
It might be badly worded. I do think that consumerism is at least part of what brought as here. I’ve met people having several unopened louis vuitton bags because they noticed they didn’t need them afterwards after they bought them or a bunch of drop shipped spy gadgets that pretend to make your house smart or renting a nice car instead of buying it with their last money. they were not that well off themselves. we should just buy less (and by extension work less)
If they do mean living standard as in “living standard” and with that social activities, food and housing they can go fuck themselves.

graffiti is cool though :(
found a lot of cool projects and organizations through stickers. i prefer it over a big bright televisions plastering the city trying to sell you unhealthy things.
