    Long since dead but I put a lot of time into a browser-based (2D) MMO called Nowhere Else and Beyond back in the day. You could build islands and they'd be placed somewhere in the …

    He's not a well-poisoner, someone just decided to chug from a bottle clearly marked "do not drink". If someone spends the time to integrate mystery code without taking the time to …

    Because it's great for analytics. The formula of "face in thumbnail, big text, bold colours" works and YouTube WANT you to be clickbaited so that you watch the ads.

    RSS is essentially dead, sadly. Can't push ads or gather analytics through it so it's been "optimised out" of the web. Even those rare sites that DO support RSS quite often only sh…

    I'm not sure when "hacker" became a synonym for "ruthless capitalist" but it's sad to see, honestly.

    You can. Twitter has a fairly robust word muting system in your account settings.

    Why would you? I see it as more like a news site with a comments section. I don't consider those to be social media either.

    Not knowing anything about this, I thought this would be about C# :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)...

    I remember making little Exile "fangames" in Clickteam's The Games Factory as a kid using those assets.

    It's not an intentional one though, it's just what the tools happen to run on. Sony aren't going to come after you if you run their SDK in a VM or something. Apple intentionally re…

    This is slightly absurd. It's reporting a very minor bug, not offering to implement a whole feature. Are you saying that no-one should report anything because it encourages them to…

    This is such an "old man yells at cloud" attitude. The alternative is, what? Striking up conversation with fellow passengers who definitely don't want to talk to me? Staring mindle…
