I was one of the last ~50 active players on War of the Roses when they shut down the backend. I had a bit over 1000 hours almost entirely in 1v1 dueling servers. Everyone knew everyone else. Tons of tribal knowledge about weird mechanics and glitches, blood feuds, and just generally interesting emergent gameplay within this tiny little niche. Since they shut it down I've been through college, grad school, a couple jobs, moved across the country, etc. and I still miss it. I really wish we'd been given this consideration.

Modern mobile OS' and apps are quite strictly sandboxed so, with reasonable vetting like Google Play Store and Apple Store, you can reasonably safely install random crap and uninstall it later. It's a different realm from running random binary executables.

People ITT hating on null coalescing operators need to touch grass. Null coalescing and null conditional (string?.Trim()) are immensely useful and quite readable. One only has to be remotely conscious of edge cases where they can impair readability, which is true of every syntax feature

I once had the flu so badly I couldn't get out of bed or yell for help. My parents put on "Flushed Away" (movie about some fuckin rats) on dvd and it looped at least 4 times before anyone came back to turn it off. One of my core traumas

I am personally unaware of any serious reason to believe that Firefox’s numbers will improve soon.

Either the author doesn't know about the Manifest v2 deprecation or is saying it's "unserious" to believe this might improve Firefox's market share. Either way, goofy.

For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. "Ah yes, let's just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers." They have played us for absolute fools.

That's for the kernel. Userspace often breaks userspace.

God forbid you ~~have to~~ can pay for stuff if you want.

It's a third party app. One of many. With an optional purchase to support the dev. Honestly...
