Semi-relevant but a few years old, a 2021 VFX industry survery found that around 60% of workstations run Linux, and that number is expected to continue growing. What's interesting to me is that VFX and game dev are kind of similar in t

I hope a sustainable Firefox fork emerges soon because it seems Google's illegal default search deals (aka the only thing keeping Mozilla afloat) are coming to an end. That's a great thing in general, but it would really suck if F

It might have originated from specific technical constraints, but it's a unique art style. Some people will like it, other people won't. Nostalgia might be a factor in its popularity, but people without nostalgia can (and do) fall

Anybody who publishes an app on the Google Play store and hosts their privacy policy on Github pages may have their app taken down because Google's bots won't be able to verify it exists. That happened to me a while back with an a

Fun fact: governments can solve both problems! They can break up monopolies AND regulate dark patterns.

I think it would be much more effective if "/help <question>" just redirected users to a search engine. That won't find stuff on Discord of course, which is a good reason to not use Discord at all. No need to use s

I wonder if the data includes information about which players were banned for cheating? That could open the door to new research into cheat detection.

These files are source assets , which is as close to source code as you can get with non-code stuff. For regular people who didn't drink the OSI koolaid, this is a perfectly valid and logical use of the term "open source". I

Have you looked into using a library like Breakpad ( https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/ )? It's probably too much work to integrate for local debugging only though.

Aka things made by real people and not marketing drones. Unfortunately, all the "real people" are only publishing things on closed-off social media sites instead of the wider internet, so the majority of things outside of those si

Me too. I ended up going with DbGate ( https://dbgate.org/ ). It's a little rough around the edges, but it has a lot of features.

I tried cloudflare but am worried they're going to start restricting features or something because of how aggressively they try to upsell shit I don't need. They say they sell domains at cost, which is a red flag since it means pe

I prefer MeshCentral. Not only does it work better, it has way more features. For example, you can browse the remote system's files and use a terminal without having to stream the graphical environment. It also has some Intel ME integr

I'm disappointed that the guy with insider knowledge who predicted that Stadia would not be shutdown isn't there. Edit: also, awesome project.

Writing my own SSG was the best investment I ever made into my own sanity. The only drawback is that I can't really help people when they ask me for an SSG recommendation since most people won't want to do the same. I recently sug

Used this recently and liked it. I don't use VS Code but I see how this is a valuable addition to the ecosystem. Not only does it provide an actually open alternative independent from Microsoft, the project has produced open-vsx.org as

> Many years ago I would have said Apple would never leave the EU, but now I’d say it’s firmly in the “possible” territory. I don't even think that Steve Jobs would be able to pull that one off.

As a user I really hate that I'm forced to give Apple my payment information when I want to do business with a third party on an iPhone, including the possibility that the 30% fee they take gets factored into the price I pay. I think

Cool, but it really does just sound like a bunch of random noises. I think it'd be more interesting if the balls were regular polygons instead of actual circles, since the reflections would be more predictable.
