I’ve got to be honest, the occasional glitch in Firefox Android is more than worth the price of not seeing the ads and consent banners that Chrome would have forced me to look at.

We don’t want them.

Well he’s got nothing else to offer.

Although it has lead to every website have that 2/3/4 column look for about 10 years at least. Widescreen monitors have 50% of the space wasted,

I think it was Grid that started it, had 12 columns you could divvy up with a load of weird classes, and then a version of grid got added to the CSS standard instead so now it’s just there.

You can still make CSS from scratch, but I can see why a beginner would go with Bootstrap or whatever.

I don’t know who Kevin is, so I looked at his Wikipedia page and I’m still none the wiser what he’s actually done to “earn” all that money. Looks like a serial grifter.

Why would Obama do this? 😭

They’re not public services. They’re hostile psy-ops around the world, helping destabilise other governments.

It’s high time other countries just outright blocked that cesspool, and Twitter while they’re at it.

“Call it what you like, you’re still going to need us” Code.

It’s just really high level BASIC with much looser syntax. It doesn’t mean my boss could use it, any more than they could use the “no code” rubbish, BASIC, C, Fortran or Assembly that came before it.

If your job was taking really detailed technical specifications and turning it into something a computer can read, then you might be in trouble. But my job was always deciphering the nonsense amalgamations of customers, sales people, and managers, figuring out what the actual requirement is, determine the simplest thing that could handle that, and write it in such a way that the inevitable changes that they request won’t be too painful to add.

Well at least she died free of worms.

I wish I loved something as much as conservatives love Ivermectin.

About 2019.

If it still works, keep using it.

I’m doing that and I’m not even short of money.

Just sick of nothing being available when I want it, on another app, and having to scan several services to confirm that.

With Jellyfin it’s just there. There’s no ads. There’s no “oh hey you looked away from the credits for five seconds I’ll just play something else”.

Well everything else is in it.

Shit, Chrome supports the use of COM ports. It’s an OS within an OS.

The lack of twin thumbsticks are what killed the original.

This one is better, but aside from better trackpad placement, it doesn’t offer a lot above the PS5 controller, which a lot of people already have.

Still, they sold out, so mission successful I suppose. I’ve no doubt the same thing will happen when I try and get a Steam Frame.

For my Spectrum I didn’t really need to. Magazines gave away several free full games every month on the covertape, and most games were like £2.99.

For my Amiga, fuck yeah I pirated everything because the games were £25 a pop and fuck that when you’re 14 years old and you have a mate who can copy you anything for 50p a disk.

Since becoming an adult, with a job, I just buy games. I’ve got much more money than energy and time, so I’m a lot pickier about what I play.

It’s bizarre they know enough science to be able to prove the Earth is round, but then ignore it anyway.

That doc showed the whole flat earth movement appeared to be one guy’s attempts to get into a milfy redhead’s pants. Poor guy was like a little lost puppy.

I think mine does that anyway. Launches right into big picture mode at least.

I did try to get it to work with the PS5 controller, but I think having a wired Xbox 360 controller in the actual PC caused issues with old games. And I mean Tomb Raider Legend era of old. Probably better with newer titles.

Nice that they finally added thumbsticks. I had the original controller and hated it because they lacked that. It turned out most games did need them after all, and that weird haptic shit was a load of rubbish.

Question is, how much functionality does it keep if I pair this with a Nvidia Shield as I mostly play PC games though Sunshine/Moonlight. Using a wired Xbox 360 controller for that at the minute.

And it doesn’t help that actually running your own working mail server in 2026 is a fucking ball-ache. Especially if you don’t want every big provider to mark all your mail as spam. Email has been captured by big tech.

Even people who self host a lot of stuff usually don’t bother with it.
