Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

But, we do need to consider the roads we pave and the tools we use
This is the part that every “lol just turn off the crypto crap, no problem!” responses don’t understand. There are short-term issues, and there are long-term issues. Disabling undesired stuff fixes the short-term issue. Letting Brave build up their market share, at the expense of user-first options, creates long-term problems.
Someone played on the hardest difficulty (along with enabling the option to “pistol start” every level), and left a Steam review complaining that the expansion is too hard. That got a developer response.
I think Heretic crossed with Unreal is an accurate comparison.
Enemies may have been more plentiful than in Unreal, but movement is much closer to Unreal than Heretic’s DOOM engine movement. And it’s much closer to Unreal than anything in the Quake lineage.
Also, the weapon arsenal’s style is very Heretic, but the weapon behavior is very Unreal.
Same with the levels, honestly. Style is Heretic, but the level design itself reminded me of Unreal pretty frequently. (And nothing like the puzzle-heavy, hub-based Hexen)
My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.
My man’s out here binary search tree-ing his plugins, lol.

Does Slashdot still have value? I read Slashdot way back in the '90s and early '00s.
Google pays to be the default search engine in Firefox.
The larger Firefox gets, the less Google is going to want that default search to be anybody OTHER than them.
Ugh. I’ve been a Debian (and derivatives) user since the late '90s, and you’re unlocking memories of what chased me away from Red Hat distros back then.
Anyone impatient with Lemmy bugs or downtime clearly wasn’t around for Reddit’s early days.
Scaling up social websites is never smooth. Expect bumps.
Anyone still on Twitter at this point is getting what they asked for. It’s like you drove past every “last restroom for X miles” sign, and now you’re in the middle of nowhere and have to piss.
Cheap API access was letting the AI platforms pull Reddit data directly via API. That’s why the “fix” was making API access expensive, so that buying the data from Reddit instead becomes the more cost-effective solution.
Reddit’s not (as) worried about gathering more data to sell, they’re worried about selling the years of data they already have.
Tell me you’ve never worked in tech support without telling me you’ve never worked in tech support.
Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.
I’ve settled on:
I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I’ve run into a couple sites it doesn’t scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.
finally getting close to the original game we were promised
Ehhhhh… the things in that change list are nice, but I’m not sure they’re fundamental enough to get this to the game it was originally presented to be.
That said, it might be enough to where the game would at least be worth my time. But I’m not going to trust this list to be delivered (relatively) bug-free and as good as it sounds until it’s done and proven to be so.
Hard pass. The only reason I use Meta at all is because they acquired Instagram, and I’m barely on there as it is (but my family members are).
In the browser. It’s not confusing to me, but I’m a software developer. Millions of Twitter users aren’t going to make it past the server selection step. And many that do are going to be confused when they click to Follow someone and get a weird popup (because that someone is on a different Mastodon instance) instead of instantly following the person.
It’s nowhere close to a smooth enough experience for the lion’s share of Twitter users to transition over. I think people that are used to even slightly technical things vastly overestimate what the average end user is capable of handling. These are the people that ask for help to plug in an HDMI cable.
There (likely) won’t be any reconsideration. Reddit’s concern right now isn’t the health of its communities. They’re focused on taking the ball of data they’re sitting on and selling it to AI platforms while the AI gold rush is still happening.
AI: “This is definitely a fake review because I wrote it.”
