   I started with turn-based RPGs, Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny in my case (the original German version). I was a teen playing shooters when the RTwP craze happened and never really got into those, luckily there’s actually a pretty wide

    I had checked there before, just checked again, and I still only see an option for a smallish bar with the two floating options. Where there exactly?

    After a short time with it, I find it kinda funny. Back then, power users were up in arms about things like the omnibar, and chrome removing more and more parts of the actual URL. And here is a browser marketed at power users that goes beyo

    I had that same experience with Claude Code. I tried to do a 95% "Idle Development RPG" approach to developing a music release organization software. At the beginning, I was really impressed, but with more and more complexity, i

    Zip of FLACs even. As space is cheap and abundant (or at least for me, buying only about 6-12 albums / month) that allows me to not worry about transcoding into whatever at some point in the future.

    I always find it interesting when Discord is always called a gaming chat platform (or sometimes video chat), when all but 3 servers, which I rarely use, are not about gaming, and only one ever uses video chat (our TTRPG group). Makes me won

    I loved the old LH when she ran it (and a short time after, before it became fully enshittified). Still have a Steelcase Leap chair, which was the usual runner-up to the Herman Miller Aeron in their office chair votes.
