I did not disagree with that, so I’m not sure what you’re on about.

Yeah that’s a fair take.

It is reprehensible and disgusting behavior, but it doesn’t mean we should universally apply labels across vast swaths of different issues, as it devalues said label and poisons future discussion.

Simple labels simplify discussion of course, but that runs the risk of losing nuance for the specific way someone was a disgusting creep.

Nah, it’s not that old.

*looks it up*

Fuuuuuck I’m old! 😭

Do you mean the lighter parts from the top side?

I think one possible resolution for increasing the popularity of RTS is to take a hybrid real time approach. You can build and do things in real time, but under the hood battles and the economy operate in discrete chunks of at least several seconds.

Come to think of it, I saw two approaches that were similar to this before:

1. In Frozen Synapse, you plan your turn, eventually commit it, then it plays out at the same time as the enemy planned turn. You can even move enemy units while planning to simulate possible movements and attacks they might make.
2. In the fourth Battle Isle game, Battle Isle The Andosia War, you did your strategic turns with your units, then in real-time as everyone else did those turns, built your production base and produced units. So the longer you take for your strategic turn, the more time everyone else gets to work on their economy.

I’m not disagreeing, although I will say that as I have aged, I started to prefer either of:

• Turn-based
• Real-time-with-pause (granted, this is mostly RPGs)
• Pre-submitted concurrent turns (ala Frozen Synapse)

I don’t know. I just no longer find the extra stress from the real-time element engaging. I used to love it, but preferences shift of course, and now I prefer the relaxation of taking my own time to figure out what I want to do, then checking whether I “solved the puzzle”, basically.

Damn this looks amazing. Like Papers Please but with a cannon instead of two stamps.

It’s because the same people who wrote the code usually write the docs, and people who are really good at writing code usually aren’t good at writing docs. It’s two different skill sets that usually don’t coincide.

This is why companies ought to employ technical writers if they have enough documentation. Of course, few ever do, but it’d by the Right Thing™️ to do.

Yet… silence.

Imagine never reading any news or discussions about environmental impact, but coming in here trying to defend Keurig by doing full whataboutism.

I think the problem is not in pod-based single-serving coffee machines. Those are common, and well-loved for a reason.

But there are easily available alternatives that do the exact same thing without requiring so much plastic, namely Senseo coffee pads (they’re grounds in coffee filter paper) or CoffeeB and its compressed coffee grounds balls (so it’s all just coffee ground, both the coffee and the pod). Probably a fair few more I don’t know about personally.

Possibly even Nestle with their Nescafe pods. They’re aluminium but some countries achieve effectively 100% recycling on that, then the only issue is the filter membrane they place inside and I don’t know whether that is easily separated during recycling or not.

Thank you for beating me to mention this.

K-cups are really amazinlgy bad. And it’s not like there aren’t much better solutions available. Philips has those fully bio-degradable pads, a local store now sells a type of coffee maker that uses just the coffee powder in balls where the outer shell is compressed grounds that is cracked open to get to the powder inside.

But no, Keurig and their fucking oceans of plastic waste.

And if you have this replacing the tabs at the top, then you might as well move the window buttons down one row and remove the top bar entirely

Yeah that part is weird. But it’s early in development and this sounds like something you add late, tbh.

Still, it’s kinda … well … the point. Use the readily available horizontal space with a vertical tab strip to free up the precious vertical space by removing that entire bar. 😅

I honestly hope they do not. The base implementation should be something utterly basic - I mean, quite literally the horizontal tab strip, but vertical. And then present an API for extending them, allowing consumers to bolt their own functionality on top as needed for their specific use case.

Don’t stuff the browser full of stuff only a tiny minority uses, tbh.

This is exactly what was expected.

After all, it’s called Vertical Tabs, not Nested Tree Tabs.

unless extensions can add that functionality

I guess that’s the idea. Most sidebar extensions need reworking with the new sidebar, but now addons wanting to add functionality to the tab strip no longer have to first also “invent” the whole vertical tab strip. They can just start from the existing one.

Ugh, I know the games are divisive, but for me they really did not work at all. I can’t even truly say why. They were below-expectations, yeah, but not terribly so. Just didn’t connect.

I got the same issue with FF16, tbh. While FFX worked for me (even though I’m weird, and think FFX-2 is better 😅).

I live in one of Germany’s largest cities, and while this is high, it’s not outrageously high.

I guess to me what sticks out the most is the expected 20% surcharge for “tips” (that get collected by the bosses indirectly anyways as they just underpay their slaves enough to make up for the tips they’re getting). That’s not normal here. You tip for good service, if you pay in cash you also tip to round usually, and you tip if there’s some other outstandingly positive thing about it. I really hate how in the US it’s become so expected to tip, while also having fuck all protection for the delivery drivers, who ought to get a wage where tips are a bonus, not an expectation. It’s just a delivery fee at this point, let’s be honest.

Although I will also say that since I live basically next door to a Dominos, I always pick up, which is ~25%-30% cheaper than delivery. Plus no delivery charge, but that’s based on distance I imagine.

No they choose to ask they audience. You go where the people are if you want to ask them, you don’t make them come to you.

Bobby responded that the desktop PWA prototype that Mozilla built a few years ago got “some pretty negative feedback” in user testing and they didn’t have the bandwidth to take another crack at it.

I love how much people forget about this. PWAs were not liked when they came out. And that’s putting it very very mildly.

And morover, at the time, people in general did not like PWAs as a concept. Independent of the browser. It’s a bit funny when nowadays people always ask for PWA support, considering it was once yelled at until it was axed, and the whole concept ridiculed.
