I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.

I subscribe to Nebula because f*ck Google, and I’d pay for Kagi if I could just simply pay $X for Y searches with no subscription BS.

I’m sorry driving isn’t fun, it was never meant to be once we obliterated mass transit in the US. It’s meant to get you to the destination, preferably safely.

You’ve never been in a fun car on a fun twisty back road. This is what driving should be, as we should not be dependent on driving to get everywhere.

100 times this.

I think I have a solid grasp of C++ and its manual memory management, but give me a build error and I’ll have zero clue how to fix it.

How does the environmental impact of LNG compare to CNG?

Perhaps some components of the game can be open-sourced, especially regarding modding APIs and whatnot. Still allows them to keep some things closed for a while, but could expand the mods and optimization even further.

I bounce between lawful neutral and chaotic neutral. Huh.

Paying for software is okay, except when it keeps trying to milk you even after paying for it, especially if it’s a subscription. This can come in the form of ads, the sale of personal information, or some other crap (such as binding arbitration).

All kinds of EVs (especially e-scooters and other small fun PEVs), and computer hardware.

Unfortunately, gains with hardware are usually met with regressions in software performance.

Ubuntu sometimes does this to me, because of either some Snap thing or some CUPS thing.

Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.

One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.

On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.

I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.

My idea is to allow premium users to have third-party apps that can be more customizable. Google barely has to lift a finger, premium would get more popular, and the experience would be so much better.

I thought the boss that came after Knuth was John Conway, due to Knuth’s up-arrows vs Conway’s chained arrows.

Interestingly enough the €3k is, when converted to USD, almost exactly what I paid for, in cash, to buy my Street Triple a few weeks ago. I was weary of giving a ton of cash to some random stranger, and wanted to do a cashier’s check. He didn’t know what that was.

This makes me wonder, are cashier’s checks considered cash under this rule in the EU?

That’s not true with me. Forza Horizon 5 takes 90 seconds to load on my 970 Evo Plus. Cities Skylines with some mods takes 3 minutes.

Why? That’s such a stupid move

I don’t know about Into the Breach but I have BTD6 with no Netflix account

Great list but idk why you put “Requires Netflix.” None of these require Netflix.

The “MuseHub 2.0” part worries me. Muse Hub is an incredibly useless and bloated launcher I didn’t ask for sneakily bundled with MuseScore that constantly attempts to run in the background as if it was malware.

I thought UWP/Metro was Win8/10. Win11 is “Fluent”. Perhaps there were 4 phases, not just 3, but my post was already getting too long and the WinForms phase has been pretty much fully conquered by today’s fast hardware.
