The article isn't "about" ModRetro, please engage with the actual material instead of off-topic political tirades.

What serendipity, I've just begun my own play through a few days ago after having learned of the game (as most of those in North America have) through the Link's Awakening cameo. I…

I'm seeing your comment's downvoted, I'd like to hear from those that did as to why. Doesn't his current venture with his AGI startup Keen Technologies deserve being called out as …

This article is in fact from 2023, the only thing from 2024 was an update on 03-11 that confirms the detected issue was addressed in macOS 14.3.1 (and likely earlier versions).

I've found the heuristics streaming apps use to determine whether or not to show "play next episode" or "continue watching" to be very hit or miss (sometimes due to a bad heuristic…

I think this all ties back to listening habits. I find individuals who share this opinion are typically stream-primary listeners who mostly listen to playlists, singles, and genera…

Not necessarily true, I'd argue the "perfect" dark mode uses the system's theme by default like you said, but still allows visitors to manually set light or dark should they wish t…

If nothing else, I really appreciate the summary, with all the comments and various threads on this it's a bit hard to follow exactly what the hold up is.

And still no movement on finally getting Bug 1178764 out the door, despite every other major browser supporting it. Nope, instead they'd rather faff about with the address bar to r…

Bit of a disappointing read for me. Given the title, I was expecting more "meat" to the topic, like more details about why and how the author is now warming up to unit tests, anyth…

Funnily enough, I recognize this image from The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack liner notes (the image itself is from the movie). Why it's included in this article is lo…

Whoa, that's bad. I don't currently have an Android device to test with, but I will get an emulator set up this weekend to see if I can reproduce and fix whatever's causing this. T…

Thanks for the kind words, Sam :) Unfortunately, I don't believe there's any third-party offering on iOS that supports downloading music within the app from Apple Music or Spotify,…

While I agree iOS 13’s Music.app is pretty shoddy in many respects, there’s plenty of alternatives other than Spotify that might better fit their requirements. (Marvis Pro, Soor, e…

That's fascinating, I didn't realize that key serves multilingual support in some countries. Is that the standard configuration in China or a common setting for that key there?

That makes sense, I didn't even consider that some folks already have the key bound to something else.

Genuinely curious, why did so many developers ask for the return of the physical Escape key when you could easily re-map it to caps lock? Before this was an officially supported op…

Shoot, I didn't read the titles correctly enough; you're absolutely right, they're two completely different cafes. Thanks for the correction!

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21322807 EDIT: I was wrong, the previous discussion was for a similarly styled cafe in Korea, whereas this one is in Tokyo…

Not OP, but my use cases don't really require "traditional" extensions; 1Blocker and the Instapaper button are all I really need and want for day to day browsing, so improved exten…

Neat, but in my opinion this kind of content doesn't really belong here. From the Guidelines: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than…

Paw is hands-down the best REST app one I’ve ever used, and it’s a glorious, native macOS app. If you have any use for such a thing, give it a look.

While not a right-click, 1Blocker for macOS Safari does indeed a support "block this element" feature with their extension.
