Tale of the Meatball Man (www.youtube.com)
 

I love it when the Internet culture collides with Stuff and it ends up being bloody horrifying.

When Digg fell, I guess you just had to be there to get this. Also, still an accurate depiction of Reddit admins. (lemmy.world)

One Must Fall 2097 Theme (Byproduct remix) (www.youtube.com)
 

Fulfils the cyberpunk aesthetic, does it not? Because the musicians come from the Demoscene. Even when the game is mostly about giant robots beating themselves up. (Ok maybe that's a bit cyberpunk too.)

This book SUCKED. And not due to its informational value!!!

It was because the pages tended to pop off. It's a shitty binding, see?

The publisher, Not a Number (aka Blender's custodian corp) issued a recall, and offered to do spiral binding on these things. I was a university entrant. Book swappage could have been expensive. Didn't do it.

So I have a book that creaks. Half of it dedicated to turbo rad late 1990s art.

Oh Google! (lemmy.world)
 

This is a twofer.

Combatant 1: Google.

Once every time period of questionable length, Google gives me an Android pop-up that I can't dismiss. This is to "comply" with the EU law. They want me to be extra sure of my rights to choose and want to know which search engine I'm using for the Android search widget and Chrome.

Well, as a matter of fact, I use Google! So I tell them that. I hope it makes them happy.

Combatant 2: ME

...I fucking hate the Android search bar and I'm this close to installing an alternative launcher just to get rid of it.

Also I use Firefox.

(What do you call it when there's two parties who want the same thing, but there's an arbitrary pointless grudge that both of them can see?)

Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hope Firefox implements a great and robust tab grouping feature. Because they used to have one that worked beautifully.

Firefox used to have Panorama view, which was a way to group tabs with a nice visual interface. ...and they removed it because not enough people were using it.

...Well if you stopped removing useful and perfectly functional features, maybe you wouldn't need to rebuild them later when it turns out people do want that feature, huh, Mozilla?

There's an extension that reimplements Panorama and it kinda sorta works like it used to.
