I love every single game these guys make, but World of Goo is definitely in my top 10 games of all time.
I can't even believe they're making a sequel. It's the dream comes true.
Going to replay the original in 100th time.

No way.... I remember seeing this comment ~10 years ago.
I've been trying to search for it occasionally through past 5 years. I didn't remember the guy's nickname, only the concept and that it's Youtube's 'constant/rule'. Couldn't find even a mention anywhere. I legit thought I made it up or it's the Mandela effect.

Thank you! I can now live in piece.

“We The People” - definitely something humans would write.

janAkali ,

Is that something american?

How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.

Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven’t seen one of these annoying screens in a while.

It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla’s focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google’s ad-centric approach, making Firefox a...

Try libredirect, it automatically redirects links from twitter, youtube, imgur and many other spying platforms to alternative privacy friendly frontends. It is also very customizable: you can turn only some redirects and configure what particular site to use for each platform.

janAkali ,

YES!

Somebody should make a standard for non-intrusive, not spying, ethical ads (no clickbaits, no contrasting colors, related to the article, etc. etc.).

Adblocks would have websites that strictly follow these guidelines in a whitelist by default (opt-out).

That’s the middle ground. But, I doubt any big ad company like Google or Meta would push for it, if not against.

There’re multiple things OpenSUSE does differently, when compared to most other distros:

  • they enable firewall by default.
  • they have automatic testing pipeline, that catches most broken, not-working applications before they’re made available to public.
  • if update breaks your setup - you can rollback to previous snapshot in minutes.
  • supports both apparmor and selinux.
janAkali ,

I use Metager instead - it’s FOSS and also has an option to filter out choosen domains from the search results.

janAkali ,

I’m using metager.org, because I won’t trust a closed-source service like DDG or profit-driven company like Brave to not censor their search results.

janAkali ,

1 - bloat
2 - click-bait title

janAkali ,

There’s a separate syntax for quotes in markdown:


<span style="color:#323232;">> This is a quote.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">> empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">> this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'
</span>

This is a quote. whole paragraph is still a quote with a single ‘>’ and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn’t it useful?

empty lines should have ‘>’ if they’re part of quote

this is a separate quote, because line above doesn’t have ‘>’

Vampires are found independently in Africa, Asia, North and South America, India, Western and Eastern Europe, and especially in the Balkans. All these incarnations have common attributes of folkloric vampires, though their appearance and origins vary due to the cultural environment and the intent or purpose of the myth (i.e., social control). Thus, the vampire is not culturally specific, nor is it a particular phenomenon, but rather it is almost a universal explanation for the liminal state when coupled with its relatives. Each culture has created these mythical fiends as a way to explain folk hypothesis, thus individually perpetuating their existence.

Just tell me actual errors like a professional OS would.

You know what’s even more dissapointing? bc - arbitrary precision calculator for linux shell uses ‘l’ for natural log, just a single letter.
And there’s no other log function, so when you need logx(y) you write: ''l(y)/l(x)".

I like mongolian tea in the morning: very strong tea + half cup milk with butter and salt.

3gb CSV file goes brrrr…

What’s the best note-taking app currently out there?

Looking for a note-taking app, preferably that I could use straight from a browser. I’m currently using Standard Notes. Not sure if that one is any good, but E2EE and open-source which at least checks those boxes. I don’t store anything too sensitive and I don’t need a whole bunch of features, though I suppose I’d use...

janAkali ,

Joplin (FOSS and probably general go-to for cross-platform open source notes in general but is a bit of a memory hog)

This comment describes my frustration with modern software.
How could a note taking app be a memory hog? You could type out a whole War and Piece and it shouldn’t take more than couple megabytes to store it.

Why I hate snaps/flatpak:

  • 1
    • package/appimage ~80mb
    • snap/flatpak >500mb
  • 2
    • p/a - app + dependencies
    • s/f - app + minimal linux distribution
  • 3
    • p/a - can be easily run from terminal
    • s/f - flatpak run com.very.easy.to.remember.and.type.name
janAkali ,

Appimages cant be easily ran from terminal, you need to link them to your Path.

On many distros “~/.local/bin” is already in PATH, that’s where I put my appimages, then make them executable and it just works.

janAkali ,

Yes, sizes might be inaccurate - it’s been about a year last time I tried snap or flatpak. All I remember is that snap installs around 300 mb gtk3 runtime and it’s often 2 or more of them, because different snaps might rely on different gtk versions + other dependencies.
And I remember that when snap and flatpak compared, allegedly flatpak requires more storage space.

I am aware that runtime sizes doesn’t scale with number of packages past maybe 3-4, but I have only 4 appimages on my system right now and they take ~200 mb, it is absurd that I’d need 10 times more space allocated for the same (or worse) functionality.

janAkali ,

Yes… kinda!?
First point is space requirement, second one is a design issue. They are directly connected, I’m not arguing that.

At the moment of separation of RSDRP mensheviks were in fact a minority of the party. And intersting enough, it’s not the given name, that’s what they named their faction after bolsheviks came up with their name.

janAkali ,

It won’t work if we are already their demons.

janAkali ,

I use Librewolf (Firefox fork with enabled protections against trackers and spyware) with uBlock origin. And I had no issues so far with youtube.

P.S. Also, couldn’t remember the last time I saw “please turn off adblock” nagging on random websites… or an ad…

janAkali ,

They’re supposed to buy an AMD card, obviously. /s

janAkali ,

We need a better tldr bot and also a tsdfln (too short doesn’t feel like a novel) bot.

janAkali ,

I guess it is a depiction of a miracle of resurrection. It could be saint Nicholas or similar to this story:

One story tells how during a terrible famine, a malicious butcher lured three little children into his house, where he killed them, placing their remains in a barrel to cure, planning to sell them off as ham. Nicholas, visiting the region to care for the hungry, saw through the butcher’s lies and resurrected the pickled children by making the sign of the cross.

Wikipedia cites this one: Ferguson, George (1976) [1954], “St. Nicholas of Myra or Bari”, Signs and Symbols in Christian Art, Oxford, England: Oxford University Press, pp. 135–136

You can “borrow” this version for free: archive.org/details/signssymbolsinch0000unse/The story is at page 81. But there’re no more details, just the same short paragraph.
