You know, I don’t know if that’s what “a Western audience” wants. I know that Youtube has made its service steadily worse over time, and also much more resource intensive. Checking Firefox’s Process Manager, it currently lists four Youtube tabs loaded in memory that total up to 1.4GB. And I know a lot of that isn’t the video: when I load a new Youtube tab, it shows the “placeholder” content, gray lines where text will go, for several seconds before anything really displays.

I mean, Bilibili sucks too? I get popups before videos I watch with anime characters, whee. There’s also the whole currently-is-in-Chinese thing, kind of a drawback for an English-speaker, But it does seem to load a bit faster.

ssh and scp (secure connection and file transfer)

grep (the standard command-line search tool)

sed (Stream EDitor, good for find-replaces once you learn how to use it)

awk (can operate on text files or command output that’s organized in columns)

sc (terminal-based spreadsheet)

trash (safer replacement for rm that moves things to your desktop’s trash directory instead of deleting immediately)

There are all these people who think it’s only a video game if it involves big fightymen killing things. That’s hyperbole (they could be big sportsmen doing sports), but not by much.

These are the people who view graphics as the be-and-end-all of a game’s quality. There are more kinds of games than anyone could count, but you wouldn’t know it by asking those people.

Yoot Saito also directed the wonder feudal japanese wargame/pinball simulation with microphone support Odama. I still have my copy and mic!

Kirby Air Riders!

Study also suggests that water is wet.

Yes, but in the US servers get paid much less than minimum wage with the presumption that tips will make up the difference.

Businesses are supposed to make up any difference between what servers fail to earn as tips up to minimum wage, but:

• It gives businesses an opportunity to fail to do this,
• It means that minimum wage is what some servers effectively get, and
• It effectively means the amount of tips servers get per hour is lessened by the difference between their hourly pay and the minimum wage rate; it’s a way for businesses to reach into server tips and get some of it for themselves.

Not true, there is no Springfield, Hawaii, for example.

Athena for NES. Now THAT’S some jank!

On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.

As people here might notice over time, I write long comments on Lemmy without even noticing, all without AI. I feel like a mutant, though not so much in a good way.

Too late.

There was one great thing about Rotten.com and that wad the Rotten Library, which was a treasure trove of suppressed information. A lot of people first found out about MKULTRA there.

Spotted a typo, it refers to “Apache Foundation’s OnlyOffice,” when that product is OpenOffice (as one can discover by following the link). This is different from the OnlyOffice mentioned earlier in the paragraph.

Nethack is very different, I expect, but great. You can even play it on public servers like alt.org and Hardfought

The image reminded me of this monstrosity.

That is strange. Which version are you playing? 5.0 was recently released, it may have bugs but I don’t think that’s one of them?

What platform are you playing on? At the moment the main way to play it on Linux distributions is to compile it yourself.

Homestar Runner’s website still works through the use of Ruffle, an open-source and secure Flash reimplementation. The loss of the easter eggs is a big drawback, but on the other hand it does mean that you focus more on the content than constantly looking for things to click on.
