To clarify, websites can’t capture keyboard events that were typed into a different website like you’re thinking. Think of going to a web game that let’s you use WASD for controlling your character. It’s able to capture those events on that page because its in focus. When a site goes out of focus (such as switching tabs or switching to another window that’s not the browser), it loses that ability. Overall, it’s very secure.

I was more wondering how you thought capturing the mouse movements would lead to security issues.

Maniac Mansion along with Zak McKracken on my cousin’s C64 when I was about 7 or 8.

Lol hell I’m sober and already lost. Sounds fun though once I figured out the order you gave.

Not exactly the same thing, but when I got my first VR HMD, for about two weeks afterwards I had to fight the urge that my real hands were the fake ones rather than the ones I would see in VR. Supposedly it’s something like 25% of first time VR users who get a similar feeling, but it didn’t make me feel any better about it. Never happened again, even with how rare I play VR games, but it was rather off-putting.

Oh just thought of another one: when I was playing WoW back in 2005, I got so into it that it was effecting everything. My social life died and it was effecting work enough that my boss had to have a long convo with me to get my shit together. But what really made me realize how bad it had gotten was having dreams where dialog with people I knew IRL was all in text and I would have to type responses to people when face to face with them.

That’s what 25 years in IT did for me.

“A flare”?! So you don’t throw 3 flares in rapid succession and then complain that flares take too long to recharge? Just me? …okay.

My saying they’re a CM isn’t my giving them a pass. But dev vs CM is an important distinction regardless. A CM should know how to address people publicly and not incite even more rage by belittling people’s concerns. The only apology they gave so far was the most non-apology you could imagine too.

Spitz isn’t a dev, they’re a Community Manager, and a tone deaf one at that.

Yeah I’ve done both LFS and Gentoo stage 1 before and it’s a fun learning exercise. Too bad the stage 1 isn’t a supported option anymore afaik.

I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it’s pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there’s some things lacking.

I never got far at all in 16, but not because I didn’t enjoy it. I just got stuck in a rut last summer and stopped gaming entirely for a couple months and just didn’t pick it up again. Maybe when I finish Rebirth in another 100 hours I’ll jump back to that lol.

6 though? Have loved that one for a very long time though I may have taken longer to finish it than most anyone ever. Way back when it released as FF3 on SNES, a friend bought it and played for a short while but let me borrow it. I played the hell out of it and had something like 80 hours into it (not sure if I just sucked or idled a lot, don’t ask haha). I had made it to right before the final dungeon. But then my friend wanted it back and I said sure, with the intent of finishing it at his house the next time I spent the weekend there gaming, which was common.

Right after I gave it back, his cousin wanted to give it a try and the very first thing he did was delete my save. I watched him do it and just had no words. He didn’t realize I hadn’t finished and wasn’t trying to be an ass, but it just crushed me.

I never went back to play it again until the 2015 release on Steam. Played it on probably 2016. So a minimum 21 years, maybe 22. Lol

Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

Pretty much. Being liberal myself, it drives me insane seeing the absolute triple people will buy into. Websites aren’t the things to target, let’s look at things like cruise ships and transitioning to renewable energy.

I had to stop using it for English even because its word predictions were horrible. Very common words kept correcting to much less common words on a regular basis. I gave it a good three months and I just can’t do it. Wanted to like it so much.

I almost bought OGSL many years ago too until I realized there was no damn chance I’d need the sharing functions anyhow lol… But same deal happened to me with aCar. Was a great app for tracking all my car mileage, service, expenses, fill-ups, etc, but even though I paid for lifetime unlock, that’s no longer valid. Such a crock of shit.

Same, I do that. I have it integrated into Todoist which Alexa is also tied into, so I can manage it from voice commands or the app all the same. I don’t need a very complicated set of features in the lists themselves, but I’ve found that if I can use voice commands while cooking, I’m far more likely to remember to buy things I need as I use them up.

Explain-explain, like-like

Funnily enough, today I was going through old shit and found two copies of Vista Ultimate. Pretty sure those are ready for the bit bucket in the sky.

Yeah I see a comment like that or just “lol” as something that should have just been an upvote. And then because I’m cynical, I also assume they didn’t upvote.
