Hah! That's great. Reminds me of "Lego Universe's Dong Detection Problem". https://www.exquisitetweets.com/tweets?eids=SOlZp2L8I8.SOl4C...

Wasn't there a Linux distro that was trying to look and feel almost exactly like Windows XP? I'm sure it's not perfect but it'd be worth a shot if you were so used to XP. EDIT: Found it - https://zorin.com&#x2

I believe they tried Lubuntu, which uses LXDE and in my experience was almost too fast so I'm curious as to why the author found it slow.

There's this search engine which seems to show some cool older-style websites: https://wiby.me/ > In the early days of the web, pages were made primarily by hobbyists, academics, and computer savvy people about sub

I wonder if there's a plugin that could remove the context menu entry.

It's sites like these that make me dearly miss the old internet. Then I remember that the old internet is mostly still there, just buried under the ad-riddled mass-produced garbage pile of the current internet, and there are ways to di

I got that once in Unreal Tournament, but only because someone on the server didn't understand what relics were (items that gave you buffs of some kind). Still felt good, though.

I'm in the same boat - bought the iPhone SE 2016 4 years ago for the form factor, haven't seen anything similar since. I haven't had many compatibility issues though I'm sure that's likely to change. There was a pag

Regarding the device in question (iPhone SE 2016) Apple are still releasing security updates for iOS 15. Not forever though, of course.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope someone has told this to you already but - please don't blame yourself. It obviously wasn't your intention to have a psychotic break. I hope you have the support to stay happy and health

About 8 years ago I created a GIMP plugin to read Terry Davis' (creator of TempleOS) custom image files to convert them to bitmaps, and vice-versa. I didn't know anything about the .bmp file format, or how to create a GIMP plugin.

I suggest going to boardgame meetups to try games before you buy. I also recommend the second-hand game market to both buy games cheaper and sell on games that you don't want anymore, keeping costs low. I fine-tuned my collection in th

I feel like they've tried to add bike lanes, but there's generally a lot more hills to climb in the inner city, and the culture is more anti-cyclist. I moved to Melbourne a few years ago and the infrastructure, elevation and cultu

Season 1 was probably the best co-op gaming experience i ever had. Season 2 got a bit convoluted mechanically and felt less smooth design wise. But it was fun. About to play Season 0, we're excited for it.

Reminds me of a similar story of someone creating a Tron lightcycle game on an Apple IIgs. They had created a bug so that the lightcycle could travel off-screen and into memory, causing all sorts of undefined behaviour. https://b

Hah! I saw your comment and was intrigued since I have been looking for a Christmas present for my brother and his 7-month old son. Then I looked at your bio and realised it was the book I'd bought for him last Christmas. Thanks, it&#x

Jitsi is a good option IME. No signup required, just click a link. https://meet.jit.si/

Reading into that article, it looks like the NSA made a random-number generation algorithm standard, but upon inspection by cryptographers it was seen to be suspect due to its unclear origin of particular constants, and this was discovered

Seems like a terrible idea. As others have pointed out, there are plenty of alternative platforms at hand that you can use for videochats, and I can't think of any that show intrusive video ads like this. In the past, I've used Ji

Not sure I understand. My impression was that the end-to-end encryption algorithm was probably the most secure thing about Signal, allowing strong encryption between sender and recipient without relying on trust of the central server. Regar

Do Telegram and other chat apps count as social media? In my mind they are separate but I could be wrong?

Why is that?

I like decentralization but in WhatsApp's case it obviously does work for the vast majority of the time.
