So, Antichamber, then…?

Gah! A bit too much for me, but if you want contrast it’s certainly got it.

I want contrast

Sure, but you can also have contrast with a dark background that isn’t constantly shooting a third of the photons your screen can generate (or more, since in some screens blue pixels are the largest), and the most energetic at that, at your eyes… high contrast themes tend to have a black background (not a gray one like most dark themes) precisely as a way to maximise contrast…

(It was even worse when we sat all day in front of a fucking particle accelerator, of course; frankly, as much as I loved CRTs’ ability to work with multiple resolutions I don’t know how we didn’t all end up going blind…)

Nostalgically atrocious.

You might not like it, but Borland yellow on blue was peak IDE design.

Personally, I have downloaded Borland themes for all my IDEs. I don’t use them, of course, because I’m not entirely insane and I value my eyesight too much, but I have downloaded them.

This is from 2016…

Turning off or rebooting your computer isn’t good for it.

(It’s not as bad as turning it on, of course, but once you’ve made that mistake you should leave it on.)

Yes, yes you do.

But, for anyone else, here’s what it means.

And the origin:

Nah. Frieren’s appearance and behaviour are straight from the manga, which isn’t that kind of book (seriously, the author just wanted to write about an unassuming elf John Wicking demons and accidentally turned it into a great story about death, and friendship, and whatnot) and only ever uses raunchiness in humorous contexts (the clothes dissolving potion, Flamme’s “secret seduction technique”, Fern constantly considering everyone a pervert, and so on).

This isn’t Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid (though that also accidentally turned out deeper than what it was supposed to be, which in that case was smut).

What Madhouse clearly are into in any case is feet (seriously, this show looks like a Tarantino film at times). Serie’s, especially. And Übel’s armpits, for some reason. Both of those are much more present in the anime than the books (also, excellent animation, like the fights or the dance scene, which in the books are usually just a couple panels; that’s probably not a fetish, though).

And Fern acts as a mother to her in the mornings, and when she’s shopping / scavenging. It’s a bit mutual, at this point.

(Though, yeah, I’m fairly certain that Frieren’s childish behaviour is almost entirely intentional on her part, and that she can turn it off and act like an adult when she wants to, which admittedly isn’t very often; she might also be a bit feral from all the time she lived alone in the woods.)

AFAIK you would not have had to open the .lnk file yourself.

Wait, what? A .lnk file is a shortcut… you still have to click those for them to open whatever they’re pointing to.

Unhiding extensions wouldn’t help here, as the .lnk extension is hidden even if you unhide the others, as it’s the extension for shortcut files; you have to edit an obscure registry key if you want to unhide it.

(That said, it being a shortcut it should have the small shortcut arrow in the icon, unless you’ve used a third party tool or the registry to disable it, so it should still be easily recognisable as a shortcut.)

So people need to be bound by EULAs that they don’t click to agree?

People…? No. And whether they clicked to agree or not should be irrelevant; EULAs should be unenforceable.

Journalists and their employers…? Neither… but then developers don’t have any obligation to provide them with review copies in the future either.

In an industry that depends on mutual goodwill, trust, and agreement, bypassing the implied NDA was completely legal… but profoundly stupid, disingenuous, and unprofessional.

The Verge decided to burn bridges it had probably taken decades to build, for the sake of one single article. It was their right and prerogative to do it, nothing illegal about it, they had no obligation to follow the EULA.

But Valve has no obligation to let them play their invite-only beta either, or to provide them with review copies in the future, and neither has any other developer.

We’ll see how it works out for the Verge in the future.

Just checked. Mine still say this:

Comment redacted in protest against Reddit’s deranged attacks against third party apps, the community, and common sense.

See ya’ll in Lemmy or Kbin once this embarrassment of a site is done enshittifying itself out of existence.

Monetize this, u/spez, you greedy little pigboy. 🖕

(I edited them manually, though, so maybe it’s that…)

Or just drill a few holes in it

That isn’t always as effective as you’d think, especially with SSDs…

microwave them for 10 minutes

Yeah, that’d probably do it (though I’m not sure what it’d do to your microwave.

Thermite is guaranteed to destroy your data (and probably the floor, or the floor and the table if you’re dumb enough to do it on a table, and anything too close to your data… but that’s besides the point, the data will be unrecoverable, that’s the point).

If he really wanted it to remain unfinished he could have pulled a Pratchett and have his hard drive steamrolled.

(Though, to be fair if you really want your data gone you should probably use thermite.)

Very disco, though, the way it happened.

You’re copying someone else’s work

That’s how culture works and has worked since humans have been human, you damn lunatic.

Copying and retelling and sharing each other’s stories and works is what makes us human and differentiates us from other animals, you monstrously ignorant tool.

This totally depends on the ToS of the ticket issuer. It’s his right to decid that for you

This logic is exactly what Disney is arguing gives them a right to murder your loved ones without consequences just because you once used one of their services.

The point is that it’s evidently absurd, and more often than not outright monstrous.

Yeah, the question is how long until they make it illegal to quit. As I said Musk is already trying, with advertisers.
