I prefer the 32 bit signed integer underflow in my favor.

You know i think i understand companies sometimes but then i keep being baffeld at how evil a company can be.

Apple for example had me surprised with the reaction to the DMA and i previously thought that they couldn‘t possibly suck harder wirh alö their anti-repair stuff.

I still have a bone to pick with Tim Cook himself for rendering my well working Mac Mini 2012 unusable for my app development job by simply not updating Xcode and introducing a breaking change that prevented me from adding support for new iOS versions to old Xcode.

Don‘t you just hate it when

When capitalism

I wonder why ad tech can‘t be „Let‘s show ads that correspond to what‘s being talked about on that website.“ Kinda like what Google suggested with Topics but without following me through the internet.

It’s fine. Transitioning to Couchbase was fine. Was a bit weird getting used to NoSQL… Oh you mean my hormone therapy!

Oh, would you look at the time! It’s the year of the fediverse!

The Satanic Temple be like: “It’s free real estate”

I had such an apologetic coming up to me. When i told them my name was “‘Julia’); DROP TABLE neighborhoods;” they were immediately irate!

Nah, they prefer prescriptivism. Actually, Terf Island still makes sense from that lens.

I’m not sure, but there’s a descriptivism/prescriptivism joke in there somewhere.

SimCity 4 taught me: NO, JUST ONE MORE LANE WILL NOT SOLVE CRAPPY CITY PLANNING! And it teaches me the value of a good headphone or speaker setup every time i hear that certified banger of a soundtrack!

There is a single aspect in which the Switch remains superior: Simplicity. Sure, you could take the time once to set up Yuzu and your Switch games and be rewarded with superior performance.

But the technically less experienced user might be put off by the fact that you can‘t just plonk in the game and play it. That‘s however not exclusive to the Switch.

I tried downloading Switch games from uuuuh… rather bespoke sites and they had a rather uuuuh… curious idea of what ads you could throw into the users face. Vivaldi‘s integrated adblocker simply couldn‘t handle those sites. That discouraged me from downloading games for now. Luckily MIG-Dumper is there to save the day and allow me to back up my games to later play them in Yuzu.

Isn‘t the battery simply mounted with sticky tape and thanks to the case being screwed in still fessibly replaceable by the user?

Apple cites security concerns for killing PWAs in europe. I mean they could‘ve made changes to the system to allow running PWAs in other browser engines by offering an API in which other applications could hook themselves into, akin to how Android did it with the web activity that is used by other apps.

But then that would mean conceding to the EU and we can‘t have that, can we?

The EU forced Microsoft to offer a browser picker dialog. I’ve been wondering where that went and according to Wikipedia that judgement that compelled Microsoft to make the browser picker has expired. And thus… Microsoft dropped it immediately.

Depends on the game.

Sims 2: Yes. Sims Bustin‘ Out: No DS version. Urbz: Nearly identical.

And here i thought they banned alchemy because they learned from a copper trader.

Tipping in germany is a thing. The culture here is much less intense about it than the american tipping culture.

How can you surf this site? I opened this in Vivaldi on my iPhone (with integrated adblock enabled) and it immediately greeted me with untrustworthy popups?

EDIT: This comment should‘ve gone under another users comment.

How did Microsoft not crush this project already?
