I hate that even when it is obvious. If I save and then immediately quit and it says “everything since the last save will be lost” I’m always paranoid that it means I didn’t actually save correctly.

Yeah, OpenBSD predates “open source” by a few years and some people actually found the name weird at the time because there was such a strong association with “Open” being used to mean things like “controlled by an industry consortium rather than a single company”.

Blockchain-based cheese DRM! 😂

with the battery expanding and shrinking during use they couldn't keep it from rattling around unless they glued it down.

I’ve never designed mobile hardware, but it seems like the easy fix for that would be to glue the battery to a thin backplane and then screw the backplane down; then people could just replace the battery+backplane as a single unit…

(ETA: but I’ll take a Steam Deck with a non-replaceable battery over any of the existing competition any day.)

Twitter is burning.
Bluesky is smug.
T2’s still learning.
And Threads has bug.

Mastodon’s tricky.
Discord’s a slog.
Spill is picky.
You might as well blog.

(It’s Dorothy Parker actually.)

I mean, I hate that too. “I’m going to lose 5 seconds of progress?! Oh no!” It ought to be able to see that I didn’t do anything progress-relevant in those 5 seconds and just skip the dialog…

I was just totally disappointed by it… it was basically “Breath of the Wild, Director’s Cut/Remake”, and I didn’t enjoy the building mechanic at all, which seems to be what they had spent most of their time working on. If I’d waited for the reviews I don’t know if I would have bought it. I definitely would have waited for a sale at least.

Lol, I’m never preordering a Zelda game again after TotK.

For their next trick, the Canadian government will raise gas taxes and impose new tolls on all major highways, and then complain when people ignore orders to evacuate burning cities.

Occasionally I’m tempted to look at Reddit again, and then I remember that I’d have to use the web or official client now, so it would all just be ads anyway…
