AI Companies are racing to monopolies because they will be able to enshittify it more than anything has ever been enshittified. Just pause for a minute and think about an AI that just constantly inserts subliminal advertising or blatant. Maybe it even steers you to paid solutions for everything.
A handful of games while driving a year make it priceless to me.
For now, due to the fact that upstream chromium is losing the ability to have good adblock they may lose that ability too if they get patch fatigue or missing major security patches.
If you really like Vivaldi and you want to be sure you'll have full powered Ublock origin, check out FLOORP(no this is not a prank, that's the real program name). its a firefox fork made by a Japanese college. and has some of the basic built in vivialdi quality of life upgrades that Firefox is missing
I found slashdot sometime around two decades ago. I loved it but soon found myself on digg because of content quantity. When digg blew itself away I fully migrated to reddit. When front page killed itself I hid in smaller subreddits and old.reddit but I'm only here on slashdot again right now because I've had it with reddit. They did a full 180 on essentially everything that encouraged me to move in in the first place. Now here I am on slashdot. Still awesome. No shark jumping (unless you count the adware bundling from the parent company years ago)
X-Men arcade cabinet still the GOAT of arcade cabinets in my book.
discord is just better than teams in almost every front end functional way.
If MLB tv didn't black out local markets there is zero percent chance I wouldn't pay for it. I lived out of state of my favorite team for a while. They have so many fantastic options, like watching opposing team's broadcast or playing the synced audio from the radio broadcasts on top of the video broadcast. Randomly checking out the score of any other team. Now that I'm back in my home state, it doesn't feel worth it to pay for it, but I do miss being able to watch other games at the drop of a hat.
mod points are limited, one must use them on comments that truly annoy.
Did you see the girl awkwardly put her hand in her pocket?
Freeciv. Clunky and old but graphics don't make or break civ games.
Look forward to Freebasing with Google!
I found this webpage http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=22622a539146aeed&hl=en It describes how to set this up using Gizmo5 (no longer available for signup) with ether GVdialer(also no longer available) or Nimbuzz IM. Theoretically you could set up sipgate or another service to work just as well. This seems like the most cost effective option. You can keep your regular low cost phone on a low rate plan for when you're on the road.
It was weird, for a moment I thought I had written this post and forgotten about it. Used Ogg, ripped my entire library in it, ran Linux, loved it. 8 years later I'm running window on my laptop and my mp3 players have only about 10% Ogg. (I play the old Ogg files with Rockbox on my iPod)
Do you have usage rates from a prior date for comparison? All websites have their crowds (I bet Slashdot gets more than its fair share of minority browsers).
