hall effect joysticks that light up are interesting at least, i'll be curious to see reviews. There are a lot of third party controller companies already, but since it's sort of a secondary business instead of the main one maybe it'll work out nicely.

i still have to use windows occasionally, and just run thunderbird on that. When on linux i use aerc because i way prefer terminal applications in general, but also i am lazy and the setup took about three seconds vs. mutt which requires a bit more work.

I honestly completely missed the anus. which isn't a sentence i thought i would say today. and agreed, i'm excited but cautious.

to be fair to the team, in regards to Nyanus, Monokuma literally translates to black and white bear. Otherwise, yeah, i watched this and it looks like a fan remake with card battles. Those card battles better be REALLY interesting or this is going nowhere. That said, i'm interested anyway.

That makes more sense i guess, although even with that context as you said, it is still dumb. It's political in the US as well to use non gendered pronouns. It's generally aimed at hurting trans folks more than anything or anyone else. I could see the first time having it be a flippant meh response, but multiple times? Having had it explained clearly? Someone else has however said it has been fixed now. People can change, so my current plan is to assume things are better, cautiously, and hope they continue on a more pleasant path.

This is such a weird thing for the dev to decide to die on. I understand, although i don't agree, with the "there are TWO genders" issue, and the desire for folks who are in that genre of people to avoid the whole thing, perhaps even forcefully. I don't understand why including women, one of the two genders they do approve of, is considered overly "political". How dare someone suggest girls might like tech? Ridiculous! I almost get the first instance, as a mistaken attempt to not support trans folks (which, again, is stupid anyway) but the constant rejection means they are CLEARLY just misogynists.

things did change, they no longer even offer it for anything except apple products, so if you want to use safari on windows it's 11 years out of date, and any other OS is just a full on no. So yeah, i'd say we're back to firefox as the only real alternative.

fair, it's been a while since i used it, but when i did it was utterly useless on anything except apple products, which doesn't make it particularly useful. Things may have changed though

opera is just chrome these days with a thin veneer of opera junk on top. Brave is just chrome with adblock built in selling you crypto, Vivaldi is chrome with Vivaldi veneer, heck, even edge is just chrome with microsoft replacing google. Firefox is the last true remaining non chrome browser, which is terrifying.

repo is archived as well, since they're both Dylan Araps, and it appears he's opted to quit programming.

Not exactly the same, but there's quickemu which does similar things.
