We could say that Microsoft never lost its way in that regard, it has always been predatory. Where it lost its way however is Microsoft actually cared about Windows, it was their flagship product after all. It was terrible in some aspects,

Everything that touches on the adult industry is controversial, sometimes rightfully so, but it also responds to a need, like it or not. Regulation can make it more or less open, but it always here. Out of everything in the adult industry,

Same thing for me, I love the technical aspect in the same way I love the demoscene. The visuals are original and very well done, so much that it is now almost impossible to talk about dithering without mentioning the Obra Dinn at some poin

IIRC the Limbo team grew over time, it shows in gameplay, the second half feels less personal and more like a generic platformer. They hired more people to get done with it. It don't mean it is rushed, but to me, the second half lacks

There is much better than JPEG, however, because still images are not really a problem in terms of bandwidth and storage, we just use bigger JPEGs if we need more quality. The extra complexity and breaking standards is not worth it. This is

Millennials love their weed, party drugs too, it took over Gen X drinking in some way. But I find Zoomers to be rather tame in terms of drinking, smoking, drugs, unsafe sex, etc... Few of the traditional vices, really.

I don't expect many people to agree but I think that the "small web" should reject encryption, which is the opposite direction that Gemini is taking. I don't deny the importance of encryption, it is really what shaped th
