Firefox has a lot of issues, but maybe we don't have any other option.
  • usually just a tiny component of something else - say ordering something

    Funnily enough, when I go to a restaurant and they have receipts with QR codes (I think it's Clover), it just doesn't work in Firefox.

  • World of Goo 2 released [buy from website, devs get 100% of the earnings]
  • requires going through the desktop interface to install them, if they use another launcher you have to set up that, frequently some trial and error

    Valve does pre-compilation of shaders. That only works for native Steam titles, and it can be the difference between a game being playable and a stuttery mess, especially for more graphically intense titles

    there are also hardcoded patches in Proton that look for the SteamID of the game to apply them. Those also won’t have those fixes applied when adding them as non-Steam games.

    How is any of this the fault of the World of Goo devs? How come Valve shouldn't be expected to implement features to make these things simpler/work?

  • Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now
  • And yet if you go in the MC community, one of the most common complaints people have is that the updates are never enough and the Devs are lazy etc... I guess this goes to the point of this article, people can easily be trained to have unrealistic expectations.

    Tbh I think a big part of the problem is Mojang's failure to communicate with it's players, less so the lack of features being added.

  • Does anyone else notice the infuriating trend of people renaming youtube videos and swapping thumbnails?
  • I know YouTube will rate thumbnails and tell you how the thumbnail is doing. I believe they also uploaded a feature where you can upload multiple and it will attempt to change them to see which works best. I see this a lot with Minecraft YouTubers (mostly Grian). It seems to be less trying to trick previous viewers and more so getting the highest rating in the YouTube panel. I think it is partially bs, as there are times I'll scroll past a video not wanting to watch it at the exact moment and it seems like YouTube takes that as being a bad thumbnail.

  • A lesbian couple was brutally beaten by group of men in Halifax. Police still haven't filed charges
  • As with most issues the truth is in the middle and any immigration policy should absolutely demand that any immigrant coming into a country assimilate and fully support our values of equality for all.

    America is hardly a country of "equality for all" sadly

  • Indie developer has a plan to keep parts of his game secret, even from data-miners
  • To decrypt AES you need some sort of a secret key or certificate. So the game will have to have it bundled.

    If the Dev were to take, for example the x,y position of the player and convert that to a key, then there would not be any bundled key. This could allow specific conditions to be met without specifying the key or solution. Truthfully though, I don't know much about AES to know if that's possible.

  • Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge
  • "user-applicable fix" is hardly correct, they are installing a fix provided by the company that has the recall. The company just so happens to provide an over the air download to patch the issue instead of having owners go to a dealer.

  • They are called PLU numbers and I'm assuming they're regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I've been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.

  • Comic: Types of Mushrooms
  • You can eat any of them, though some may kill you if you do :)

    The first one is a morel, and the black one (also edible) is a black trumpet. Others may be edible, I'm not sure. The frog mushroom (Amanita muscaria) is supposed to be very poisonous, but there is an episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopoeia where he finds a man who eats them regularly. (This is not me suggesting you eat them yourself, just an interesting tid bit, mushrooms are weird)

  • Minecraft Live 2023

    So what was everyone's thoughts?

    In case anyone didn't see the features announced: >!Combat Trials, New hostile mob (mini wither boss looking thing), More Copper and Tuff varients, New Mob Spawner Type, An automatic crafter !<

    Personally I didn't watch it, though I've looked through all that was announced. Honestly not sure how I feel about it. Part of me was really hoping for some work on inventory (like desperately) and they said nothing.

    The trials thing seems interesting, though not really my play style so I don't have much to comment on. The copper and Tuff variants are cool but it feels like a feature we should have got a few updates ago. The crafter, I'm not sure how I feel about and am curious what the community thinks. Part of me thinks it's not super "vanilla" as you can automate so much now, and Mojang had expressed how they didn't want that to be an aspect of the game so I'm a bit confused. The way they implemented it and the ways players will have to engineer it to do what they want fit the vanilla feel though imo. That being said some of these features have already existed through modding for years.

    I used to be much more of a "vanilla" survival player (some qol mods, similar to something like Hermitcraft) though I have recently started playing a Create focused pack I made. After playing the modded version I have a hard time seeing myself going back to "vanilla". With this latest live, I noticed I already had some features that they announced in my pack. Sort of kills the hype imo, when you have to wait so long for the update.

    Movies while camping

    Couple of friends and I like to watch movies together, so when we do some car camping we like to take a tiny projector and put on a movie. Curious if anyone else does this and if so what movies? So far we've done Blair Witch, Evil Dead, Big Money Rustlas(I know), and Infinity Pool.
