- Abzu - hated the underwater movement controls
- Deponia & MechaNika - the protagonist is an asshole
- Papers Please - too stressful (works well as a piece of art, but wasn’t an enjoyable experience)
I’m decreasing my social media use, so message me on Discord if you want to chat.
Tbh the homophobia was just the last straw on the hill of crypto nonsense they piled on the browser over the years. I’ve been increasingly uncomfortable with Brave the more “fluff” they added, so going back to bare Ungoogled Chromium has been pretty good.
I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don’t have to use external tools for it.
it was a similar article that made me switch from Brave to Ungoogled Chromium a few weeks ago, as a backup browser for the handful of sites that don’t work in Firefox.
this meme was my Facebook profile cover for a while 😁
Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it’s not like Spez is profiting from me.
If you don’t want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.
Sorry, I misread the situation 😅
Lemmy is really wonky for me today, but I think I managed to change the title and update the description.
I’m a graphic designer, and it could be interesting for working on CMYK files and actually see them as they would look on paper.
I also have limited understanding, but these are huge corporations with huge userbases. If they start giving “helpful” input on how the ActivityPub protocol should develop, it may exert a strong pressure/influence due to their sheer size.
I know it’s not the same situation, but it reminds me of how Google keeps trying to push shady stuff into Chromium, even though it’s supposed to be free, open-source software.
I think this is their attempt to EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) the Fediverse, so I’m strongly in favour of immediately defederating corporate instances as soon as they are created.
I still see it, albeit rarely, on some subreddits, eg. NatureIsMetal
OpenStreetMap is a joy to behold and fun to edit too, but for me where it really falls behind is its route planner :/ Google Maps lets us plan with public transport, shows multiple route options with journey times, and lets us edit walking paths by just dragging the line. OSM desktop doesn’t seem to have any of these features.
Not only copycats, but there’s an Indian musician who has apparently been using almost 100% the same logo for the past two years.
check out the other posts in the right sidebar, there are so many great ones :D
btw the source of this is a fucking brilliant webcomic/blog thing: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/
This illustrates really well why word filters are a terrible idea; they have no regard for the conversational context.
Interesting that this sir/ma’am thing is very location-dependent. I’ve been living in Scotland more more than a decade now and I probably heard someone address me as “sir” a grand total of twice. I remember because it always felt so jarring, like why was this random shop assistant speaking to me so subserviently O.o
But I heard in some places (USA?) it’s very commonplace.
My high school class was in mid-'00s, and there was one girl who very much had that butch/tomboy vibe going on. I drifted away from the class, so only heard rumours after graduation, but I think she never actually came out as anything. On the other hand three others of us (two of whom, including myself, I never would have guessed back in high school) eventually came out as various shades of queer :D
It’s probably specific to my social circles, but in the late '00s some of my family and acquaintances started using certain vegetable and food names as synonyms for stupid person. E.g. “you carrot”, “you cake”. I guess this was a less openly offensive way of disparaging someone’s intelligence.
