You know, I'm something of a leftist myself.

Finland. Traditionally not a thing at all but each year the commercial aspects creep in more and earlier. Nothing about them can be contextualized further than "it's an American thing".

Just switch. To anything, really.

Ahhhh

It's a nice, cheap, easy and legal way of obtaining the ROMs to play on flash carts, emulators and FPGA systems.

Well this is a unique take. But don't worry, there's a Firefox for you, too. Try the ESR, or Extended Support Release, it

receives major updates on average every 52 weeks with minor updates such as crash fixes, security fixes and policy updates as needed, but at least every four weeks.

The Sega Mega Drive or Genesis scene is probably the most active as of now with several big commercial titles releasing yearly followed by ton of ROM-only smaller projects and ports released on itch.io. This is largely thanks to the still fairly recent release of the unofficial SGDK development kit making development much more accessible to those not into learning 68k assembler. SGDK itself is still actively developed, releases somewhat regularly and the number of 16-bit Sega game projects keeps growing, as tracked by Pigsy, a developer themself who has taken on porting Castlevania: The Symphony of the Night from the PS1 to the Mega Drive among other things.

The hopelessness.

It's just what it was called in the nineties.

My first contribution to a complex system was fixing a comment calling an email BCC field CC.

I will send you memes and lend you money. Otherwise I try not to bother you.

Guys, I just might have a hunch on where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.

From personal experience, 11 can't do vertical taskbars and the hack that restores 10's taskbar isn't entirely bug-free and can be shut down on a whim by MS with an update removing the functionality.

From what I've read, 11 is a privacy nightmare with Recall and the ever-worsening insistence on having a fucking MS account to log in to your PC locally. Sorry I meant your self-serve surveilance and ad-targeting appliance.

Having to fight the anti-features and dumbing down of a piece of hardware you supposedly own to keep it usable and useful to you, not the mothership, with hacks of varying reliability... What part of that sounds like something you would want to spend any of your money or time on?

Is she a Firefox user too, then? I feel handicapped in Chromium browsers when middle-clicking does fuck all. If it's more than three wheel spins away, I too engage "auto-scroll", as it's called. Of course you can also scroll fast if your mouse wheel unlocks and spins freely but with the middle click auto-scroll, you can also go slow and indefinitely, which can be handy for longer reads or for presentation / screen share purposes.

Eh, beats finding yourself in that complete breakdown of a process where you're having to recite your email address character by character to a person who somehow is both

a) judging YOU and

b) unsure the part after the @ can actually be something besides gmail.com.

Which it was called initially throughout versions 0.1–0.5. I got onboard with version 0.7 when it was called Firebird, only for the 0.8 update to change the name yet again.

Interestingly they seem to have migrated the old votes to this. First I thought the writer had sneakily linked to the Dreamlist so that everybody would automatically vote for NOLF.

The Secret of Evermore hack enabling a second player to control the dog is quite formidable, if a tad glitchy at times. It elevates a somewhat forgettable single player jRPG to a fun co-op pastime.

On point, thanks :D

And here I was holding out hope that the integration would yet improve. Although the fact that I couldn't find the Pass + Tidal option for a recommendation a couple of months ago should have been a raging clue.

It was never perfect but was it ever handy in bringing together my 20+ year collection of non-commercial netlabel stuff, bootlegs, mashups and mixtapes that'll never appear in public streaming and the more mainstream stuff in one place. Kept me discovering new shit all the time and got the family used to and using Plexamp thanks to the Tidal offering. Switching away from the horrible Spotify.

What now?
