you ungrateful fuck.

Are there people who do this???

lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.

Technically there is a successor to Vib-Ribbon but it’s iPhone only if I recall? “Russian Dancing Men”.

Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.

Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It’s a game about going back in time, c’monnnnn.

Alley Cat actually got a second chance! Look up “Alley Cat: ReMeow”

syncthing is the easy option if you have some files you always want to have on both. if you just want to access your desktop files from your phone, I recommend Cx File Explorer for Android, it’s a file browser that supports various network file share protocols including Samba and SFTP.

I dont. Its honestly not great. I’d rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web – the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a “reblog” feature!

“Federation” adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It’s not a selling point, its a price tag.

I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking “I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer”

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you’ll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven’t had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of “soft hierarchy” within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I’d have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

if the states aren’t obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.

ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.

Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.

I believe this is so they can make keyboards with a fancy “LinkedIn Button” on them, just like they’re trying to do now with Copilot.

Tra-la-la!

Starting anything from scratch is a huge risk these days. At best you’ll have something like the python 2 -> 3 rewrite overhaul (leaving scraps of legacy code all over the place), at worst you’ll have something like gnome/kde (where the community schisms rather than adopting a new standard). I would say that most of the time, there are only two ways to get a new standard to reach mass adoption.

1. Retrofit everything. Extend old APIs where possible. Build your new layer on top of https, or javascript, or ascii, or something else that already has widespread adoption. Make a clear upgrade path for old users, but maintain compatibility for as long as possible.

2. Buy 99% of the market and declare yourself king (cough cough chromium).
