LineageOS, maybe? Still Android, but (AFAIK) more open to change than standard Android.

So sad when it happens…

I don’t follow - do people still seriously use SMS? I for one try to use it as little as possible.

Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.

Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!

This blog is my favorite Linux blog!

I love Robert and his YT antics - his whole “The X command is my favourite Linux command!” shtick was both funny AND informative!

and occasionally Google translate

deepl.com is a decent alternative, if you want to replace Google Translate

The best implementation of errors as values I’ve seen is Rust’s Result type

You’re talking Monads, baby!

Had to dig around a little, but I think I got some context :

I don’t recall Uncle Bob being sexist or racist, but maybe I missed something.

weird dude who writes raw HTML

Eyy, that’s me! Good excercise to learn actual HTML, instead of directly trying to jump into <insert random JS framework> and getting confused on what’s what.

Anyway, I ended up switching to Hugo as a static site generator, because it was too damn hard to keep all my <header>, <nav> and <main> aligned for all my HTML files.

Now I can just write a markdown file as an article, or switch back to raw HTML if I so need (like rewriting Alan Turing’s paper " On computable numbers" in HTML because I can’t use TTS on the PDFs I found; I still haven’t finished writing it, because I am now reading E. F. Codd’s papers on the Relational Model, which is pretty wild how we already figured that shit out in the 1970s!)

Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)

I hope you can install Firefox, because The Googs is pushing for Manifest v3, which means no more functional adblock.

Linux or bust, babyyyyyy

We’re current using bump2version, which already is a fork, but doesn’t use toml and thus isn’t very strict in its config. Turns out there’s already a successor (forgot the name) that supports toml. Haven’t had time to switch yet, but it’s on the massive backlog of shit I want to fix.

I don’t, mostly because I watched Asmongold talk about it, and now I feel weird playing with a female character online.

Though singleplayer I don’t feel any problems: Lara Croft, Rynn, Chell, Rayne, Jade - it’s all fine.

Maybe it’s just for customizable characters?

While this was true in a pre-Steam world, it hasn’t been true for a while.

See Terraria (which didn’t suck, but was lackluster compared to how the game is now), No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077.
