Eh. The “all or none” mentality destroys movements.

I view Obsidian like a gateway drug to FOSS. Works well & one can still explore FOSS alternatives simultaneously since it’s all just markdown.

icantstopbuying.domains is a call for help

You are correct. The source code for Obsidian is proprietary, but a lotta FOSS-friendly folks give them a pass since it’s all plaintext Markdown etc on the backend.

Palworld wouldn’t have been half as popular without Nintendo’s constant push to take it down.

I’m curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.

And when.

Bruh

This is devastating for my “southerners watching pornhub” kink.

I love Lilypond! I wrote all of my pieces in that in college. Hated Finale & Sibelius. It’s been ages since I’ve messed with it, but gosh it’s nice to see in the wild!!

You have passed the test. We can be friends.

Hey that’s a fair point. Funny how often good ideas are kneecapped by crap executions.

Yeah, I’d love at least one USB A type cause most of the peripherals I own use that.

legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

The “legit” reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

Regardless of the marketing spin they’re putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS’s LLM. They’ll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the “release of information” clause into their T&Cs.

Recall isn’t for users. It’s for Microsoft.

Double kill

Triple kill

Mega kill

ULTRA KILL

MUH-MUH-MUH-MUH MONSTER KILL

Fuck firewire. Glad it’s dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.

“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”

It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

Thank you for the write-up!!

Notes while I’m watching:

1. The “vibe” is different - in my head I translated this to “he likes the GUI more”
2. Minetest has zero “story” / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it’s purely a sandbox experience.
3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
4. Mods are built-in, and don’t require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
5. Customization via the Settings menu

The “built-in support for mods” caught my eye. That’s pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod “sandbox” to play in.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell
