I mean, judge for yourself:

• Marusha’s ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’

• DJ Paul Elstak’s ‘Luv U More’

• Technohead’s ‘I Wanna Be a Hippy (Flamman & Abraxas Radio Mix)’

• Blümchen’s ‘Kleiner Satellit (Piep, Piep)’ or ‘Bicycle Race’

Although, on a further relisten, I have to admit horsegiirL’s track blends happy-hardcore with hard-techno, most of all. But hard-house is its own beast for the most part.

*early-mid nineties’ happy-hardcore, which is closer to techno rather than house.

You’re 38 and never seen happy hardcore?

Reportedly she’s dabbled in right-wing politics herself, possibly before the affair with Musk.

I’d just like to be able to put on something other than Sade on a date.

Hammerspoon and Alfred are way better automation utils than alternatives in Windows or Linux. The absence of these two makes me weep regularly.

Karabiner might be the best too, haven’t looked into third-party Linux remapping utils yet. Both Cinnamon and KDE support only predefined remapping out of the box.

HyperSwitch and a dozen other utils allow customizing cmd-tab switching, namely add switching between windows instead of apps.

Native Clipy clipboard manager is way snappier than CopyQ. At least for Windows there’s Ditto.

There’s even an util called Mos fixing the fact that apps with foreign UI frameworks don’t understand the mouse scrolling speed properly, and treat the mouse and the touchpad differently. Which is also present in Windows.

You know about the touchbar? MTMR allows custom buttons on the touchbar, with custom actions. I’ve used it to connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones or hand them over to the phone (which was also set up as an Alfred command and as buttons on the phone itself, with bidirectional logic everywhere).

Shortcat allows keyboard access to arbitrary UI elements in the active window: sorta like Vimium for browsers, but you type a bit of the text label instead of a two-letter shortcut.

Hazel automatically processes files saved in particular folders, with particular rules — like the downloads. It can e.g. rename, move, or tag them. By the way, did you know that MacOS has tags for files while Windows and Linux have jackshit?

MacOS’ Cocoa UI framework allows addressing any element in an app’s window via xpath (iirc) and manipulate them, if given accessibility permissions from the user. Which permits doing a lot of UI automation without fiddling with mouse coordinates and faking clicks. And can be done with native AppleScript (although I’d prefer that they properly supported JXA instead). By the way, more than a few apps provide their own support for AppleScript, such that for example you can access notes in Evernote with it.

P.S. I also forgot about Automator, which is a first-party app by Apple, bundled with MacOS, that allows creating custom workflows for particular files, apps, or whatever. Neither Windows nor Linux ship with anything remotely like this, and even third-party apps in Win/Lin suck in comparison. iOS also has something similar with the Shortcuts app, while Google phones have the Assistant, which afaik can’t work without phoning home.

There are tons of utils to customize the MacOS UI, including lots of open-source ones and some that kick ass off anything on Linux or Windows. Anyone saying that MacOS can’t be customized, has never used MacOS.

How do I block PizzaCake comics from appearing in my feed? I don’t need any more basic USian political whining than I already get.

Wow, it continues to be a mess in your head. Nothing but mush in there.

My former boss had trouble buying beer sometimes because he’s short and thin and made the mistake of going with another coworker who permanently looks under eighteen years old. He said he ain’t making that mistake again.

Meanwhile, during covid, my method of verifying the age was pulling the mask down.

We also got thoroughly blazed all together at multiple times, locations, and various configurations of other coworkers and drugs of choice. We were in programming.

Wow, it’s really a damn mess in your head.

How about you reread the thread instead, see that it’s about accurately reproducing existing stars, and realize that you indeed have a comprehension problem.

Remarkable that you can copypaste all that and still can’t comprehend what was done in 1984 and what was done in 2014.

If you find a way to represent our existing Milky Way galaxy with a procedural algorithm and a seed that can be run in a reasonable time on any current computer or even a cluster (say, running for a few dozen years), you’re welcome to claim the Nobel prize.

‘Elite Dangerous’ is from 2014.

The article is technically correct in that the code has been open-sourced and published, except it happened in 2016, so I’m guessing the author just decided to ride the Artemis hype.

‘Fallout’ isn’t just ‘derived from’, it’s a direct descendant of ‘Wasteland’, with some of the same people involved: Brian Fargo was the director on the original ‘Wasteland’, then founded Interplay aka the developer/publisher of ‘Fallout’ 1-2, and shortly thereafter inXile Entertainment that later developed ‘Wasteland’ 2 and 3.

Also, some of the folks who developed ‘Fallout’ made ‘Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura’, which is basically fantasy ‘Fallout’ — by folks of Troika Games who previously developed ‘Fallout’, and later ‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines’.

Judging by other comments, they are indeed randomly generated, but that doesn’t make them good:

That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.

Broken arms eh.

I guess then that they just block popular third-party VPN services. Still not sure why, though, if it’s not mandated by law.

There were actually multiple action-adventure beat-em-up games in the MK series. Namely ‘Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero’, ‘Mortal Kombat: Special Forces’, and ‘Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks’. The last one of these is for PS2/Xbox. All three received pretty poor reviews.

Plus there was ‘Mortal Kombat: Onslaught’ for phones in 2023, but it seems to have required multiplayer, and has already been shutdown.
