Its not a drip machine though, it’s more like a Chemex that doesn’t require you to do the pouring.

The analogy works well since its Debian-like, but way more awesome. The Moccamaster is great. As easy to use as a drip, but makes better coffee than the Chemex.

Anon is absolutely exaggerating for comic effect. That doesn’t mean Java doesn’t have all of those problems though, it just isn’t as ridiculous as they made it out unless you get dragged into enterprise bullshit (then you’re in for it).

I am right there with you. My Pixel 4a is still going, but there doesn’t appear to much anything on the market to replace it that doesn’t have a boatload of caveats.

Good luck! I am about the same place in my career and I also wanted to actually release a game (not just make 80% of a game in secret!).

Super annoying because all the earlier smart phones did have all that, even early Android. The OSes just keep getting more dumbed down and locked down to the point that I went from a phone enthusiast to despising all smart phones.

The list is honestly bizarre and the rank placements are all over the place. Most of your later examples of that I completely agree with. I just think that the mainline FF games not being on the top 100 list of PC games is fairly understandable, and I say that as a huge fan of the series. Ironically, FF14 is quite literally the only game in the series that I haven’t played.

Regarding the FF games, I think it’s actually fine considering some of the more notable omissions. Most FF games didn’t get released anywhere near when they were relevant.

figures lmao

I had no idea Apollo got resurrected. I gave up hope after a few months when it went down many years ago.

DALnet and EFnet were both great for that

Absolutely agreed

RED and the defunct Apollo both welcomed WCD refuguees at first, but they filled up fast.

I haven’t seen anything like that on a pizza since I moved to the midwest. They do seem obsessed with pickles though.

That is great news if they stick to it. Ttheir WebOS TVs are becoming slimier and slimier.

This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

I don’t hate all bots, I hate this bot specifically because:

• they intentionally hide that they are a bot to evade our, and everyone else’s, methods of restricting which bots we allow and how much activity we allow.
• they do not respect the robots.txt
• the already mentioned lack of rate limiting

Bullshit. This bot doesn’t identify itself as a bot and doesn’t rate limit itself to anything that would be an appropriate amount. We were seeing more traffic from this thing that all other crawlers combined.

We’ve had this thing hammering our servers. The scraper uses randomized user-agents browser/OS combinations and comes from a number of distinct IP ranges in different datacenters around the world, but all the IPs track back to Bytedance.

I just replaced my 3070 with a RX 7900XT and it was a very noticeable difference in performance. It doesn’t help that my primary display is 3840x1600 though. The 3070 was never particularly great for that res.
