That’s weird, I haven’t gotten the update yet but dark mode is working fine in FF for me. The place where it fails is ff-based webapps, which I use for YouTube music, Discord, and MS Teams.

FF on Android has improved greatly, I don’t find myself switching back to Chrome anymore.

Mozilla foundation is putting together a paid product under the Thunderbird brand. Folks are excited for that, the Firefox people are good people.

This. I used to have a Moto Z which was regular 16:9 and you could actually type in landscape and actually see the textbox with that.

The libertarian “don’t tread on me” wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.

git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.

GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.

ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.

Is forgejo federated yet?

The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

It really showed me how many of the “anti-capitalist” and the “anarchism” and “mutual aid” people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you’re too cool for the nerd shit.

I mean he’s literally a boomer.

But they make it up on volume!

So did did Visa and MasterCard ever stop payments to… like… Infowars? I know PayPal went after them but the credit card networks are a level even higher.

I turned it off when it failed to failover to sms when there was no data connection.

Are both me and the recipient online? Send RCS. Are either of us not connected? Send sms. How is that so hard?

Otherwise RCS is just “worse SMS for people with intermittent data connectivity”.

I wonder if Android Wear wouldn’t work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can’t decide if it’s stand-alone or companion to your phone.

Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that… is it the lack of Play Store that’s the dealbreaker?

Yup. The game is pretty overrated, imho, but its aesthetic was amazing. No lighting system, everything was hand-shaded with textures that really got the Megaman look. One of a kind style.

Imho the problem with the 3D-era pokemon games isn’t that they look low-fi, it’s that they look low-fi in a boring way. Like they were built from asset-store content from 15 years ago.

If ever there was a game that could’ve gotten away with some weird theme like voxel-art or heavy use of billboarded sprites, it’s pokemon. Like, imagine a pokemon game with pixelated hand-animated textures like in Megaman Legends. That would work.

The end of an era. Now I’m nostalgic over their awful '90s games like Shogo. Was also such a shame that AvsP2 never got re-released because it was permanently trapped in rights hell.

refused to give them a reason to vote for them

If stopping fascism isn’t enough of a reason for you to vote Dems, that’s a you problem and not a them problem.

Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.

Don’t try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.

“We’re banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that’s anti-competitive”.

Does anybody actually want one of these things?
