Probably would work well on OpenTTD for similar reasons.

Honestly, there’s a bit of an “if I had a nickel” meme for open source reverse engineered clones of Chris Sawyer tycoon games, although it would be 3 nickels rather than the traditional 2 due to OpenLocomotion.

At least animated WEBP is kind of good; APNGs have huge file sizes and are not widely supported.

Still, this meme made me laugh.

Lossless webp actually has slightly better compression than PNG.

Most browsers support it, but most web apps, including some Google Suite stuff ironically, don’t support uploading a webp.

I spent 4-6 hours the other day trying to figure out the equivalent of Hello World for a MediaWiki parser function extension.

In theory, they have a quick start guide, but that documentation has so many errors, and I spent ages jumping between PHP and a JSON configuration file I barely understood.

At least it’s working now. Now time to figure out how the heck to properly interact with the MediaWiki database!

(Perhaps once I’m a bit more confident in MediaWiki development, I’ll see if I can tidy up some that documentation.)

Yeh. They really did C++ unnecessarily dirty.

I use the Chicago95 XFCE theme, which modifies the bash prompt.

C:\home\dexcube\Development\piper\build> python3
Python 3.13.2 (main, Mar 13 2025, 14:29:07) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal('0.1') + Decimal('0.2')
Decimal('0.3')

Why do we even bother with data at all? Let’s just not exist - humans greatly increase attack surface.

Apple should experience bij.

MariaDB for the win!

JavaScript be like that sometimes…

That is so me sometimes.

I wouldn’t call 4K mainstream in 2014 - I feel like it was still high end.

I didn’t have a 4K TV until early 2019 or so when unfortunately, the 1080p Samsung one got damaged during a move. Quite sad - it had very good color despite not having the newest tech, and we’d gotten it second-hand for free. Best of all, it was still a “dumb” TV.

Of course, my definition of mainstream is warped, as we were a bit behind the times - the living room had a CRT until 2012, and I’m almost positive all of the bedroom ones were still CRTs in 2014.
