The problem is that modern sets are made up of much higher numbers of parts (especially small ones). Building them would take forever if you had to pause and think every other step, or had to play where's Wally with a dozen new small pieces all the time. Lego would first have to backtrack to simpler sets again before fixing their instruction manuals.

You can't even do it ironically anymore because the average user doesn't pick up on it and whatever insane joke you pull will become internet norm in the future

I made an account on twitter/x specifically to promote my site at some point. I was shadowbanned by default and had to follow other people, like and share their posts and comment on other's post just to get my own posts to show up on people's feeds. When I checked again at some later point I was shadowbanned again.

When I tried reddit I also noticed that I was shadowbanned by default and didn't even bother to do anything about because I assumed it would turn out the same way. Like I said you can use those sides to get the word out, but only if you're actively using them as a user to begin with.

syndicate elsewhere

That's almost a job in itself because you have to constantly make sure not to get shadowbanned. This is probably only an option for people who already use "social media" sites in the first place. Putting a link to your site in forum signatures was the way to go. Unfortunately, forums are 99% dead.

Don't worry. The time when our computers will be locked down the same way will come in our life time.

I built mal for videogames too over 10 years ago. A friend also did individually. And I know at least 5 other sites that are "mal, but videogames" or have similar features.

Imo the concept is a waste of time until there are APIs for each console/store to fetch user data and automate libraries. Most users don't bother and the few that do already have accounts spread on like 10 different sites for this kind of thing. Personally these days I just keep csv files of my collection and play history and turn them to HTML via a ssg.Turns out that I don't need anything more than this.

But good luck!

The new layout, putting attached images and videos on the index, ruined Reddit forever. I recently went there to see what thoughts people on there had on a specific subject, only to find nothing but a stream of meme and social media posts. You really can't call it a forum anymore.

I only have an X account and got no censorship for #fucktrump

Honestly, I barely understand how Firefox's cookie protection works anymore. It used to have the simple option to block third party cookies that I had running all day and felt good with. That was until they started becoming necessary in certain scenarios (I can't even remember the details of what that was).

And then these days I have no idea if I can just accept a website's advertising cookies and expect Firefox to block them anyways, or if clicking on such a button would disable the browser's tracking protection.

A few years back SO used to be the common top result for my search queries regarding tech and development. I'm not sure when the shift started, but these days it's always a list of content farm links with maybe a link to SO somewhere in between.

The result for me was that I started to rely much more on documentation and writing down notes of stuff I found myself looking up a lot. I never used SO directly for looking up stuff, always relied on search engines, and as they declined in quality I just stopped visiting SO almost alltogether.

I imagine I'm not the only one with this story. Considering users also abandoned the site for LLM assistans and the strict moderation on there, I'm not surprised it is in heavy decline.

Sounds like you're proposing the Matrix. No thanks.

We did. As can be inferred from the title alone.

Sucking the carbondioxide out of the atmosphere doesn't seem to be a feasable plan, considering how vast earth's atmosphere is. My growing feeling is that we are long at the point where we need to start putting heavy restrictions in place to avoid desaster. Carbon capture technologies are already in development, but that alone isn't good enough to avert the coming crisis.

I don't want to play devil's advocate, but when I consider the history of personal computing it would almost surprise me if this didn't get through. From locked-down smartphones having become the norm to windows having turned into a carrier for advertisements, this just seems like the next step in some inevitable evolution of IT.

Maybe news agencies aren't much interested because this is still only an early proposal, but considering its implications I find it striking how little it seems to be talked about on the web (outside of hackernews). Rossmann seems to be the only one with a video on the topic up on Youtube. There's only a handful of Twitter results for "web environment integrity api" with next to no replies to them. When I look the keystring up on reddit the only result with a noteworthy amount of debate is not related to WEI at all. Social media is probably just on its last legs, but it doesn't seem like too many people that care are left to fight for what the web, or even general computing, used to be.

You don’t have inheritance [..]

Modern PL features are more or less wrappers around comparatively complex C code. Object inheritance is actually one that isn't too difficult or complex to implement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443UNeGrFoM&t=4275s

It's mostly opinionpieces and reviews on videogames, but I occasionally publish programming related posts too.

I think there's a real market for a non-profit discord-like platform on the open web, especially with all the reddit drama going on.

Part of me wants to build this. The larger part knows I'll never ship a game when I keep letting web projects get into the way.

I find it a little worrying that nobody seems to be considering the implication for society at large. We're having enough trouble with the disconnect of people brought about by social media.

What's going to happen to us when people are less and less required to work with each other in collaboration to get their work done?

I use dwm for my windows and both tabs and splits in vim

Can they help building a time machine to undo the iPhone?

Just a temporary restriction until we start training AI in robots by interaction with the real world.

He didn't forget how to manage a web server. He knew his problems, how to look for solutions and how to apply them. That's an important skillset to. Especially since it enables one to keep up with change. You're not a professional sysadmin if you only mindlessly keep using the same configurations that were taught to you.

just call them "posts" or "microposts" if you don't like "toot"

Why do we need the power of GPUs meant for fast and complex 3D graphics applications to draw 2D text, lines and icons?

All webdevs use the same tools that push certain directions. No webdev has the time to be creative and try out new things so they build each website the same way.

Diversity is found near exclusively in the domain of homepages built by people not in the business that didn't make their website to put on a resume to proof they can use whatever tool is currently in.

Valve really needs to roll out a 64bit client though. I always have problems just installing the client because of the 32bit architecture.

Uhm. People squat with their feet flat on the ground? I can only do them standing on my toes...

I doubt the site is maintained by Gates personally. There's a company sitting behind it doing PR work for his foundation I'd assume.

I had the same problem with Windows 7. online search lead me to an official support page that described how to boot Windows in some kind of minimal mode. Following those steps did the trick for me.

Still, this problem shouldn't occur at all.

What good is allowing messengers to reside within your browser other than that it lets the people who are tracking your browsing habits simultaneously spy on your messages?

I highly doubt third parties have access to the messenger tab.

It's a neat addition that works well for people who browse in one fullscreenized window.
