Is it really though? That is not acceptable behavior on personal machines either.

Just yesterday I was required to use a Windows 11 PC for a university thing. I double-clicked a PDF and it opened in Edge by default… Which then REFUSED to close until I go through the whole onboarding process. Accept the privacy policy (literally no way to refuse). Log in to MS account (skip). Import data (skip). Import data from another browser (skip). Pretty sure there was another step or two. Then, and only then, I was able to see my PDF or close the window.

Each step took more time than it should because the option to skip is always hidden with some dark pattern. This whole thing cost me valuable time, and guess what, Edge wasn’t the only MS bullshit I had to waste time on in that time-limited lab class.

Edge is a FUCKING TERRIBLE browser, and if you don’t think so you haven’t used it, or you have Stockholm syndrome. Chrome/ium sucks too but it’s nothing compared to Edge. (And Firefox sucks as well, there are no good browsers, but Firefox appears to be the lesser evil IMHO. I’m also partial to Vivaldi, but I haven’t used it in some years)

Can I downvote you for saying something which, regardless of if it’s true or not, definitely should have been left unsaid?

Women bring their own soap.

(This is a joke but also I kind of almost believe it)

(Also this joke if kind of stolen from the game Life Is Strange)

This is what some not-very-good police do in some places. Arrest someone they don’t like and then dig up some ancient law still on the books that they broke on a technicality. Usually if such a thing goes to court the court strikes it down, if the justice system is remotely functional. But where’s Lemmy’s courts?

I am having a poor user experience with your comment right now. You say you are “an UXD”, but there is no way in which “UXD” starts with a vowel sound, so it should be written “a UXD”.

And everyone at Apple rejoiced. https://9to5mac.com/2025/12/04/gruber-apple-employees-giddy-about-alan-dyes-departure/

And they have about as much chance at it as the rest of us - zero.

Which of the characters represents whom?

It’s a good idea, but it’s not backwards-compatible with the system already in use.

What letter do you use for 789431?

yeah I got it

Check out my new colon:

Two possible solutions to this:

1. Always use a single digit for the base. Examples: binary is base 2, decimal is base A (because A=10 in bases higher than decimal), hexadecimal is base G.
2. Use the highest digit plus one. Examples: binary is base 1+1, decimal is base 9+1, hexadecimal is base F+1.

… or we just continue to agree that bases are always written in base 10 decimal unless specified otherwise. By the way, how does the alien speak English?

Now she’s definitely salty.

From my limited understanding, the PS3’s architecture is actually very different from PCs and modern consoles. From a developer’s perspective, it was very different to make games for it, its capabilities and strengths and weaknesses were just different. So it’s no surprise that its games have a certain look and feel to them.

The PS4 and later, OTOH, is a more standard PC architecture which means iterative improvements and less difference between generations.

Disclaimer: didn’t fact-check any of this, would appreciate replies correcting mistakes

no way, you’re lying

What are you talking about? The photo quality is great. It’s not studio quality, but calling it potato quality would make the actually bad photos… what’s worse than potato? Hamster wheel quality?

Calling this photo “potato quality” is the same as calling the 360 and the PS3 “retro consoles”.

I think you misread a word there

All I see is a bed with an extra pillow.
