This reminds me of how upset I was to break my Battlefront CD when I was younger. One of those games you had to enter the CD for to start. Needless to say, that was what started my torrent and crack experience.

Such a great game. The mods and third party maps were awesome. No edition after the first ever lived up to that, especially this new crap they came out with.

If Google is investing in creating a non-WebKit browser for iOS and given all the heat they are getting for Safari and WebKit, we might see this sooner than later.

My plex server is the best streaming experience I ever had. Only stopped running it because I just wasn’t watching anything for a good bit. More time on my hands now, so time for a revival.

The absolutely number one thing that allowed me to actually use the thing though was Yabai+SKHD. Tiled windows and the full customization of hotkeys make this thing so much more usable and, frankly - surprisingly - it’s grown on me.

That isn’t an iDevice specific issue. It’s how a ton of mobile devices handle charging of the battery for various reasons, including the obvious one of you being mid boot and losing power to the device.

I wish people (especially just regular ol’ people, not big names) realized that if they started using Mastodon or BlueSky their engagement would go up tremendously. I’ve had full blown huge threads with all sorts of people on both platforms, even when I had literally just made my account.

On Twitter you’re lucky to even get a like on a post unless it’s some hot take on a political topic.

Yep. I could see people sticking around if there were not viable alternatives. And while those alternatives have indeed been around for a good while, they are very available now. There’s really no excuse now.

Now, while I do think Mastodon is the better platform, I’m curious to see how BlueSky affects Twitter’s user base once it comes out of its “beta”. For all of its faults, it does have the smallest learning curve - if really any at all - when comparing it to Twitter.

We don’t throttle to our company-owned Speedtest servers though so we can disprove you when claiming we are not offering you peak speeds.

Not to mention that they overlooked the fact that for some people - a sizable number too - the reward can be in helping others. Not everyone is a pariah looking to churn profits while pretending to care about other people’s needs.

Unfortunately the barrier to do this in capitalism is high, because like you mention, if you’re devoting your time to something that is not immediately producing profit then you may lose access to those basic needs. Companies can weather those losses, but will then want to make up the costs by - usually - using shady practices.

That’s not to say communism is the answer. But it surely isn’t capitalism as we have it today.

Japan has Taco Bell so that’s definitely an option if you want to really make use of those toilets.

Most of their products are like that. There are a lot of specific language support features in each one that may become available as plugins later on but not at the same pace or “fullness” as the specific product itself.

For example, PHPStorm has good JavaScript support but if you want really good Typescript support you should probably go with Webstorm.

Alternatively, I can totally write Rust code in Webstorm through the Rust plugin but I’m better off using CLion that has better support (or now RustRover which will be where all the latest Rust support features are added, although it’s still a preview product afaik).

Also worth noting though that there are indeed some “tiers”. Like Webstorm won’t support PHP but PHPStorm will support JavaScript/Typescript (again, not fully but enough to maintain a front end operating off your PHP backend)

Should have turned your phone off during the national alert test.
