I remember managing to play Crysis under Linux with Wine and I was SO impressed. Never would’ve imagined one day almost every game would be playable.

Isn't that very fitting with the spirit of the times? Reading 4-day week futurism while working 5 days as you always did, hoping it doesn't get to 6. This one and UBI are the two classics of 2000s optimism and naivety.

People really look through rose-colored glasses when they talk about late 90s, early 2000s or whenever is their "back then" when they talk about everything being simpler. Everything was for sure simpler, but also the requirements

Why not just ban the user from using gift cards then, instead of banning their entire account between 30 different products under the same company umbrella? They don’t need to fix insecurity of gift cards, they just need better access contr

As someone who has been recently a customer to multiple language learning apps, I think multiple things are true: * The market for actually useful, non-gamified learning apps is smaller than, say, Duolingo. * Yet the market for bullshit ap

I wish it'd be so obvious then I could ask another LLM to read and remove the ads. :) I fully expect it to be more shady like you ask for help with your hair, and it manipulates you into first thinking you need a specific kind of produ

Also ads in LLM can be perfectly merged with the content, it'd be impossible to know if LLM tells you something because that's the most likely useful answer or the most profitable one for its owners. Can't be just ad-blocked

Huh? But I see it says "uBlock Origin" when I install it and the UI looks like what I remember from the full version. It says "Firefox" when I check the extensions page, so maybe that's where it manages to bring the

my initial, 15min impression is.. wow so much to like here! It feels very snappy, really nice UI, supports "real" version of uBlock Origin, has built-in Vertical Tabs with nesting and Tab Groups, and also the iOS-like grid of tabs

I don’t know about the beta, but there’s an excellent HL2 VR conversion mod you can play today. It feels just right and got me to play HL2 again after all these years.

It’s still a little hard to believe and terrifying how similar this particular title and the comments below are to what I would’ve read in Turkish forums circa 2010s. For Turkey it only got worse from there.

“If DMA doesn’t change, we’ll drop some 25% of our revenue” sounds orders of magnitude bigger than “we’ll disable ADP”, which was the example given by OP. It’s like a comparison of “I’d be mildly annoyed” vs. “I’ll burn myself alive” as far
