Barrier has been abandoned quite awhile ago. Its successor is supposed to be InputLeap, and although their GitHub repo is very active, they have yet to make a release.

I didn't even know that Synergy provided a "community" version of their app until very recently. I've paid for a license many years ago, so I've been using their 1.1x versions, which for better or worse, are still maintained along with the 3.x branch (which I've tried using but could never make it work, which is for the best because the fact they pivoted their UI to electron-based also left a bad taste in my mouth).

Edit: also, if I understand correctly, Synergy's latest versions on the 1.x branch borrows a lot from InputLeap.

Not a variant. Read their README. It IS Synergy, they're renaming the open-source / community version to that, while Synergy will remain the commercial product built out of that.

Thank you for digging this out. Turns out it's even worse than what I gleaned from my surface-level take.

I did it all using this. Took me about half an hour to migrate all my 15-something accounts to KeepassXC.

there's almost nobody with 3 legs

Hol up there, tell me about those people with 3 legs!

I think there's more to the coin ship, that unfortunately isn't covered in the article. I know for a fact that the hammer bro on the World 1 map turns into a coin ship if you finish 1-1 with 55 coins AND end the level with time remaining being an odd number.

I don't think this qualifies. That moment you're referring to is more a "breaking the 4th wall" situation for a sort of comic effect, which is a staple on most of the entries on the series, not an actual reversal of a failure state. Something similar happens on MGS1 on the fight with Psycho Mantis, for example.

LOL. As I was reading the summary, I thought "man, this reads like an article from The Onion". And sure enough, it is!

Her breakout role was really in The Expanse. Until then she was most known as a dancer and singer, even though she had a few very minor roles in a few films.

Be sure to hear the 2000's re-record. It's one of those rare cases where the re-record blows the original (IMHO, at least)

Same here. In fact, I bought my Legion (which btw I feel like it was a good choice on OPs part because I believe Lenovo's laptops tend to have better cooling engineering in general, for whatever laptop category, compared to other brands) to serve first as a work laptop, and then some gaming on the side, which I'm not too picky about because I don't really play on PC that often anyway. My reasoning for that is that the business laptops I had been looking before going with the Legion were frankly overpriced crap with limited expandability, shoddy components and build, and full of built-in bloatware pre-installed. I find that gaming laptops tend to have higher quality components and slightly better expandability, so it was a win all around.

Yeah, but then we're not talking about social media anymore, but brand and company names in general.

When you want a brand name to be part of people's everyday vocabulary, as is the case with social media, it needs to be succint and easily referred to. Hell, sometimes people even turn those names into verbs (tweeeting, facebooking, etc.), how do you do that with Mastodon without compounding the problem? (E: I know about "toots", but now that's coming up with unintuitive jargon for the platform - which is fine, but shouldn't have been necessary in the first place if more thought had been put into the brand)
