Ah, the Douglas Adams approach.

You can push pieces off the board?

Despite looking like a science fiction war crime, that's all these things do.

Lemmy.ml gets a bad reputation because they treat disagreement, trolling, and bigotry as interchangeable. They never seem to mind their own users twisting any argument beyond recognition - but sighing 'I don't want to deal with this anymore' is unconscionably rude and must be punished.

Ideological bias is not the same thing as hypocritical enforcement of bad rules. And 'be nice or else' is a fucking terrible rule, no matter how consistently it's applied. Sometimes "fuck off" is the right answer. Sometimes people really are assholes, and deserve to hear it, and the hierarchy of a leftist space declaring themselves the only people allowed to exercise that force is deeply ironic.

Yes.

And if you're thinking of a compression algorithm, nope, pigeonhole principle.

'You can't all not work!' is slavery with extra steps.

I'd expect mixed reception from some of those guys.

"It's CH, right?"

"Can you mount the /media/user/Backup drive on startup?"

"Sure."

"... where is it?"

"Somewhere else."

What a thrill...

... and then Yuji Naka killed one of their biggest Saturn projects by throwing a hissy fit that a Sonic game was using the NiGHTS engine.

Frankly it's a miracle the Dreamcast worked so well and had such great games. Sega was a fucking mess throughout the 90s.

Legitimately miss 3.5, to this day. Peak functionality.

I have been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox, and I'm not sure I've ever been happy after an update.

• Inconsistent icon size and texture

No! DISTINCT icon size and texture! Not a row of generic ultra-light squiggles, all the same color, conveying nothing until you look straight at them. The back button is fucking enormous because it's obviously what you'll use most. Stop and reload are weird and discouraging. There's a reason all your plugins use different colors - that's what icons are for, god dammit!

Complexity is a feature. Visible similarity conveys semantic similarity! 4.0 just took all the nested functionality and swept it behind a button.
