  • Brave is charging $60 to remove features it added in the first place

    Jump

  • Brave has many features that other browsers don’t offer

    Such as? Crypto nonsense?

    The adblocker? OK I guess, except they are still just a middle man for ads (hence the crypto nonsense).

    I dont see the value.

  • NewPipe, other open-source apps are preparing users for Google's sideloading crackdown on Android

    Jump

  • I agree with you, yet I am sure there are lawyers who will argue that it would be against their terms of service.

    I am with the old school crowd: you put stuff on the internet however you like, and I will render it however I like.

  • Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power

  • All funded with Facebook and Instagram and a touch of glasses and oculus.

    Things so easy to simply not use and even with this evidence of how shitty they are (nevermind the ability to shift politics) people won't quit.

    We are all fucked.

  • YouTube hikes Premium subscription cost again while adding advanced video features

  • Laughs in, well simply not playing the game. No YouTube anymore. That was easy.

  • I just quit watching youtube. No participation is even better than trying to get around it.

  • Yeah I am pretty pissed off that this article is conflating issues by even suggesting this.

    The legal grey area they are alluding to is ad blocking. I don't think it's grey but that has to be what they are saying.

    But the article is about third party apps and Google being a fuckwit.

    This waters down the discussion, and is a unnecessary diversion.

  • 'Bots have now passed human traffic online,’ Cloudflare boss laments — says agentic traffic wasn’t expected to eclipse real people until next year

  • I went to a Microsoft site to fill out a form to register for a 2 two conference. My CPU shot up to 100 percent. The task manager (in the browser) told me that this was using a huge amount of computer for a ton of javascript running on a page that didn't need any at all.

    It is very abused for analytics, little is used to make a page "nice" anymore.

  • Seems like people should get off their lazy asses and quit playing video games all day.

  • What is your guilty goto food that you just can't stop?

    Jump

  • Guilty? Isn't that just basically health food? That was the craze when I was younger anyways.

    Guilty pleasure is like strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce in a sugar waffle cone or something like that. Maybe deep fried.

    Oh maybe you are saying that combination. But garlic and cheese go well together, no surprise there either. That is kind of cottage cheeses lot in the world: it kind of works with most things. Dont have enough ricotta for your manicotti? Cottage cheese will do in a pinch, and well.

  • Does this Count as Retro?: Hobbyist Is Recreating Microsoft 3D Pinball: Space Cadet As A Real Table

    Jump

  • I guess the ramps did go over the playfield, so in that way I guess it was 3d.

    I had to look it up: cinematronics called the platform "Full Tilt! Pinball", AKA "Pinball 95" and it came with three tables, space cadet being one of them. But it was not 3d space cadet pinball, it was just space cadet. The one that came on the windows plus for 95 was a shortened version - less content- as well.

    Then microsoft licensed it for themselves and merged that name "3d pinball for windows".

    Jump

  • 3d? What about it was 3d?

    It was okay I guess. Not really all that great, but I don't recall a 3d aspect.

  • Best longterm offline Linux friendly games? Give me your best!

    Jump

  • If I don't want to use them, I am not making an account. I already have a billion accounts I don't need yet another, and certainly not a Microsoft one.

    But go back to the original question OP posed: two distinct things, Offline and Long Term.

    I don't trust Microsoft, Minecraft is dead to me and I cannot count on them long-term.

    Requiring an account is not offline.

    So Minecraft does not meet op's requirements.

  • Did the official KDE lemmy instance die?

  • Weird. The URL you have does that for me too, but my subscription link works fine as well as just searching the community and opening it.

    Would really like to see this sub grow. I would like to not go to reddit anymore, but even Charlie Miller posts when he has new stuff there. So what can I do? What would make you come back?
