SomethingAwful was an important prominent internet culture anchor for a long time, enforcing good moderation and content standards. I checked out of there the day Lowtax died and never looked back. Prophetic truth in the tagline "The internet makes you stupid."

I bypassed their arbitrary "old browser" check with a javascript line that set a flag. Works flawlessly after that.

Consistency in output - this is a standard test model to replicate entire existing system and then apply changes components of the system to test a theory.

Naev is a good choice for Eacape Velocity fans looking for a modern game. Naev has a lot of depth and polish, very well crafted.

SC4K - The original binaries run at 1080p on modern hardware with excellent performance and gameplay with a few command line tweaks.

With respect to SC3K being great still, I would run it but I haven't been able to get some performance issues ironed out.

Worst might be SC2K for N64.

Neat concept would a game to import cities into a GTA-like engine.

KDE at 30 2 months ago

Kmail worked great for years then one update akondai would no longer sync and that was the end of it.

The Bluetooth integration needs work - missing features such as "never connect automatically."

Default lock screen experience still has a needless delay of 5 seconds when entering a wrong (even blank wrong) password, even on the first attempt.

+1 on the gamma controls

Z-Wave is tried and true, and works even without an available hub. I don't see the appeal to Matter from a professional standpoint.

It may have it's place in the consumer market, but with product financing from major adtech firms it is clear the ultimate incentives are different than that of the licensed Z-Wave revenue model.

It's evident that proofreading your own comment might be more effective if it were written more carefully from the start.

Most people indent their code for legibility - if someone showed up to a code base and didn't do that, it could be offputting to anyone reading it.

In a few years Plaid will not be a thing. "Local" banks are already permitting their outsourced online banking systems to sell information on each line item. Soon it will be assumed that your transaction history will be easier to obtain than your credit.

Proclaiming professional advice on the internet should compel you to bother using proper caps and punctuation. To your point - you are addressing the symptoms of bad understanding of CSS and it's relationship to the DOM. While tailwinds is a useful tool, it's not particularly special.

I identify bots by known address range. Logs are full of Google Bot scanning for resources and endpoints that don't exist. Further, it is using proxy scanners from other geolocations, to identify potential resource availability by region. These proxied scans hit the same non-existant endpoint from a dozen nodes within 2 seconds of the initial request.
