Only pirates get to keep their games forever.

The undeservedly little-known Planet Explorers¹ has a rather nice voxel engine and is using it well. Mine anything, dig tunnels in any shape, modify terrain, etc. Without the cuboi…

The Thames is still very much opaque. Not near-opaque.

Where's the source? Why does it say "Pricing" on the website if it's free? This isn't free, it's just an attempt at free publicity.

Yup. In the sense that the unstoppable guillotine blade is descending slightly slower onto our necks. Yay!

Privacy is a human right, LEARN IT.

That depends. If you're on a slow connection, the 40 minutes to unpack something are nothing in comparison to the week it took you to download it. If used by the game publisher, th…

Well, whatever the repackers (e.g. Fitgirl) use seems to work a lot better than what the game publishers use (often no compression at all). Original Size: 93.1 GB -> Repack Size: f…

I've relearnt keyboard layouts once and know I can do it, but I also remember how long it took to get fast on the new one and how I don't want to do that again. Not to mention all …

You put your money into something called "Kraken" (other than rum perhaps) and this surprises you?

Wonderful.

To me that seems like an incredibly huge amount of code for an app user interface. Turbo vision certainly was much more efficient, or even wxWidgets.

This has never bothered me until moving on a boat, where top-loading fridges (often ice boxes with a compressor kit retrofitted) are the norm. Because energy supply is very limited…

They're very common here in Europe. Although when shops get remodeled they usually are replaced with newer models that have doors (and now doors that close themselves, because peop…

A necromancer who voluntarily became undead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich

I always read lichess as female lich. Then I get confused when I click on it and see chess boards. Probably played too many fantasy games.

No, you need food and water.

Yup, downloading stuff reliably over lousy internet connections (packet loss, high latency, intermittent uptime). HTTP really sucks with that.

getlazarus.org appears to be a fan site. The builds are unofficial, but unlikely to be harmful. Might be safest to get the software from the official site or your distro packages t…

Imagine being groomed to do this job from birth, with no real way to opt out[1]. You wanted to breed horses, become a blacksmith or start a business? Get that nonsense out of your …

Yeah, absolutely hated the Ozark (TV Series) look. Heavily desaturated, brightness turned down and shifted heavily into blue. Ruined what looks like pretty scenery in the backgroun…

I absolutely hate monochrome. The trend of removing colour from something and calling it an improvement. In photography, in film, everywhere. Is it just me? Is there something diff…

Most of us will have illegal, unregistered phones then, running hacked firmware. Just look at Russia, China or all the illegal satellite dishes on Saudi rooftops. It's an arms race…

At some point it'll be easier to run it as TOR hidden service, on Freenet or I2P and stop caring about the bullshit legislation.
