- Comment on Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows 1 month ago:
Last time I tried it there was no view library like Winamp. Nope. At that point just use VLC or MPV.
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode' 4 months ago:
It's average. Which is about the same I feel for the original Crazy Taxi.
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode' 4 months ago:
Doesn't matter. Mile High Taxi already superseded Crazy Taxi. Just play that.
- Comment on Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM 4 months ago:
I'm sure its got an incredible story and I'd love it if I actually sat down but im in the same boat. Just not interested.
- Comment on India may block Proton Mail 4 months ago:
And then just go PGP if you want even more security.
- Comment on Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM 4 months ago:
I've tried several games like it. Arcanum being one of the most similar but I just can't get into that style, no matter how many times I've tried lol. Same reason I won't play Planescape: Torment. Just not for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 4 months ago:
There's a vscode extension that brings clippy back powered by chatgpt but idk. Its just not the same...
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 4 months ago:
Better than whatever i wouldve come up with lol.
- Comment on Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM 4 months ago:
The whole thing is such a clusterfuck. I've never played it but I can sympathize with how the fans have been jerked around.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 4 months ago:
More like evil clippy.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 4 months ago:
Ehn, one can survive pretty long with a stable distro.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 4 months ago:
I'm pretty sure there's a term for it. Google did it with shopping and images, Instagram changed the home button with some advertising thing (dont remember the exact details).
- Comment on Recommendations for Pirate Games? 4 months ago:
I like Raven's Cry but it is a janky game so be warned.
- Comment on Everything about TOML format - Orchard Dweller 4 months ago:
Wow. I've never used yaml or even looked at it but damn that is horrid. Why do people even use this? JSON and XML are so better.
- Comment on Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use 5 months ago:
Yep these are the best tools for that currently.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions 5 months ago:
Not to mention the sheer amount of amazing indie games coming out lately. Why even check out this gacha and subscription games?
- Comment on Their Songs Were Stolen by Phantom Artists. They Couldn’t Get Them Back. | Bad Dog, a group from D.C., was forced to take a crash course in streaming fraud, a shadowy realm that costs musicians $2b/yr 5 months ago:
This is actually way more common than people think. Lotta people think in order to upload music to streaming you need some label connection. Not the case. Just find a distributor like Symphonic, upload and wait for streams. Hope these guys can get their recumpence.
- Comment on [F4 Mod] Fallout London - Official Release Announcement 6 months ago:
Looks amazing so far. Definitely one of the few games I'm actually hyped for next year.
- Comment on New World outlines a partial roadmap for the first few months of 2024 6 months ago:
Same. The highlight of this game for me was the 5 minute conversation I had with a co-worker about it. Good times.
- Comment on can chromeos be hacked?? 6 months ago:
You'll be fine. Just dont visit shady websites and do fall victim to phishing. The other comments in the thread are good advice too.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 6 months ago:
Theres a reason nobody uses it anymore. Google extended the crap out of it, effectively took over the protocol and then retired it. It bears the same echoes of what's happening here.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 6 months ago:
I'd be closer to agreeing with you if XMPP didn't completely invalidate your point. They did it there and they'll do it here.
- Comment on Adam Mosseri spells out Threads’ plans for the fediverse | The head of Instagram says a full integration with the fediverse could take ‘the better part of a year.’ 6 months ago:
Is threads still even active? The few users I knew on it don't use it anymore.
- Comment on Tumblr's 'fediverse' integration is still being worked on, says owner and Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg | TechCrunch 6 months ago:
Well its probably dead anyways. Dorsey already left it and moved to Noster.

Was bluesky ever intended to have activitypub support?
- Comment on The international web standards organization W3C is no longer active on X/Twitter and has directed all their followers to Mastodon. 6 months ago:
They allowed for the inclusion of DRM into HTML5. This DRM is not open-source, can't even be source audited and refused to back down. Such a move caused the EFF (electronic frontier foundation) to resign from the group. Here's the EFF's letter where they outline these issues if you want to give it a read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-director-ceo-team-and-membership
I could also write about them bowing to Google but the DRM thing annoys me more.

Oh so I have absolutely no reason to even like w3c at all? Dont use w3cschools much anymore these days. I know they have other stuff for more languages but theres better resources when it comes to those.
- Comment on The international web standards organization W3C is no longer active on X/Twitter and has directed all their followers to Mastodon. 6 months ago:
Oh yeah. Forgot that exists. Their image-border generator was far better than the w3c equivalent.

Yeah screw the w3c. Only use they got these days is for html tutorials.

Well Ladder is written in Go. 13ft is written in Python.
