There is a special place in hell for software (including game) developers who exclusively use Discord to release patch notes, documentation, technical support, etc.

You're right that many aspects of life have improved since the 1930s, but that doesn’t mean the current conditions for raising children are good or sustainable. In high-income countries, lower birth rates correlate with rising housing

Unironically, I would rather use your to-do app over the default Windows 11 one.

I've recently became friends with an individual who suffers from lingering chronic effects from Lyme disease. I'm never walking out in the countryside again without knee-high boots, jeans tugged in my socks and the strongest bug r

Those services have their use, and I'm glad that they exist, but it feels like people are just abusing them for convenience. It's unfathomable to me that there are people (I personally know of a few) who use a food delivery servic

Apple is a for-profit business, and like most such entities, its primary concern is its bottom line. If promoting privacy aligns with that objective, so be it. However, the company does not have an inherent inclination toward acting ethical

The party of small government and deregulation sure likes to to have the government regulate how private businesses and citizens should behave.

Actually, I would argue against EU being a wasteful bureaucracy. From my experience they're more efficient than most member state governments.

I'm not sure about energy efficiency and energy class, but information such as battery endurance, repairability class, waterproof rating, structural durability and update support should absolutely be clearly stated on the packaging.

Tiger 10.4 was such a breath of fresh air for someone like me, coming from Windows XP and some variety of Linux with Gnome 2.x back in 2005. Twenty years later, I find Windows 11 and MacOS 15 to be in such a bad state, that I would rather u

If there are elections again in the future and more sane, qualified people take office, the Justice Department will have its hands full for decades.

I don't know if I would refer to Adobe as being evil, but they're definitely one of the shittiest software companies in existence. And I'm 100% convinced that they would receive the same type of welcome if they made a xshitte

Flying from the EU to the US isn’t cheap, and the thought of potentially being denied entry (or worse) makes me think it's best not to visit again for another four years.

Crazy to think that the same game contains both the worst puzzle ever conceived (cat hair) and arguably one of the finest, "Le Serpent Rouge".

Launchpad has to be one of the worst ways to find and open applications on a Mac. That new window-managing system is honestly so unintuitive, so bad, and so bizarre that its mere existence feels like some sort of practical joke. I wish that

I replayed Shenmue on my Deck about a year ago and I had the same QTE problems. The solution was to download a custom, community-made control scheme from the Steam workshop.

Unless I'm mistaken, those cards were all produced by 3dfx after their acquisition of STB. Regardless, that box art blew my 14 year old mind back in the day.

Replaying Heretic 2 back in 1998 with my first Voodoo (banshee) was a borderline otherwordly experience, compared to my first playthrough of the game using software rendering. Nothing has blown my mind the same way since.
