I've been hoping for a remaster of this to be released for a long time, watching https://github.com/hankmorgan/UnderworldGodot for progress. Then suddenly I saw this! Looks like a …

Email clients should just strip out hyperlinks. You link in the email? Write it directly, then people can copy/paste it. It wouldn't stop all phishing, but it would be a start to i…

Setting up my PC with PopOS recently has been really fun. Everything is snappy and fast, and no bloatware crap.

Sounds like the old saying about the advertising industry: "I know half of my spending on advertising is wasted - I just don't know which half."

So funny to see this here, I was just looking into Ultima remakes last night, and saw this one among others. Looks really awesome. I never played any of the Ultima games back in th…

Al Jazeera reports around 750 US military bases, across the world but concentrated in Europe, Japan and South Korea, and the Middle East. Not quite bordering China. https://www.alj…

This looks really cool! I'm curious to try it out and see how the .base files look like

This was such a great pitch for the book, I went ahead and ordered it! With fantasy settings in particular it's crucial to keep the setting consistent, since the book is the only "…

Side note, never heard of the band mentioned in the article but it sounds interesting: Bicycle is "a band that rolls across the country on bicycles and rocks in towns and cities al…

This is a very interesting approach, and the rules and principles are very sensible. It's nice to see something that tries to really use the platform and emphasize semantic HTML. O…

I haven't personally done this course yet, but it looks very promising if you're looking for something that just tackles plain HTML and CSS, without any frameworks: https://www.spi…

Yeah, the potential for enshittification is massive. I can imagine they'll offer the Wi-Fi for free at first, use that as a reason to take out screens, and then start charging for …

I wonder if this is the beginning of the end of in-flight entertainment. Once the Wi-Fi gets reliable enough, people will probably just start using their own devices and streaming …

Or fire back if mounted on an autonomous drone

Elder Scrolls kinda falls under that umbrella, given that Elder Scrolls Online is a subscription-based MMO that I believe is still receiving content updates. Unfortunately that's p…

I've tried Tailwind on smaller projects and it's not a bad way of writing styling. Not having to think about class naming or selectors speeds things up a bit, and it's nice that it…
