https://fakeupdate.net is a good one: fake windows update screens. Successful head-scratching a few times!

Similar in Norway. One source of frequent misdiallings were from housewives dusting off the rotary phone, accidentally dialling 111.

Now that you mention it, I remember reading through the entire first script of of Alien from 1976[1], which was really cool. I now feel an urge to re-experience that.

There's one on Lemmy/Beehaw: https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]

I wonder if Michael Jackson would have even more success with his beer guides if he chose a pseudonym. https://www.beerbooks.com/cgi/ps4.cgi?action=enter&thispage=...

Here's what looks like a manual for SCUMM, with examples and all:

I like Ungoogled Chromium: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-bina...

At least for testing, I use Firefox as my daily driver.

I use uBlacklist, and I get a "block this site" option on every Google result. Worth a try, I hope it's legit.

Only if you worked for 10 years in the same company. 1 month is the regular for <5 years tenure. However, the employee may actually demand 3 months.

This used to be a problem for me too, but later versions of Keepass happily syncs any conflicting databases. I use Syncthing to share my database.

Let me push this again: Chrome, sans Google. My main browser is Firefox, but this will do in the few cases I "need" Chrome.

Foobar 2000 has served me really well for any local audio file.

It does support multiple accounts, at least since recently.

You might be interested to know that Another World was not Eric Chahi's first game to implement a VM. Infernal Runner (Amstrad CPC, 1985) was recently reverse-engineered to be playable in the browser. Some details and source: https://github.com/cyxx/infernal_js

Novel and inspiring. Thank you!

Oh, how I envied those PO Boxes you guys got down in Europe - Up north, it was practically impossible to get one of those for non-businesses, and especially a no-go for broke teenagers!

Ooh. Thanks for this! RAM is my favourite, and this really appeals to me. May I recommend back; Betamaxx has a wonderful 80s nostalgic sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB5mRTkJmFA

ESL = English as Second Language. Had to look it up.

Nice, I call dibs on the low hanging fruits!

No, I haven't. Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping for something that would mimic Safari, as Apple has made things really difficult for non-mac devs.

I also switched years ago and haven't looked back. FF is fast, solid. However, I too keep Chromium for development. But I use the Ungoogled version (I always plug it, but have no stakes in it): https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Does anyone know a Webkit browser that runs on Win - preferably with some kind of debugger?

Haha, same happened to me in Spain two years ago. I stood there minding my own business like a doof until someone on the other pump were like, "Yo!! Watch out". Wasn't much, but still surprising.

Syncthing https://syncthing.net - I replaced Dropbox with it, no complaints so far.

I understand your point of view. I use Firefox exclusively in private. But I need to support Chrome in development, and Ungoogled Chromium is a good alternative for me - it's neither Google nor Microsoft. Most of us do live in capitalist societies, and therefore, I think, we have no other choice than to have to use it's tools to try to improve them.

I've found Ungoogled Chromium very satisfying lately. https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

You can !g google in DDG when you need to. I often have to do, and hopefully DDG picks this up and improves their search.

Many realtime online games use the same techniques today. For a very understandable walkthrough of the concept, I recommend Gabriel Gambretta's excellent 4 part series: https://gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architecture....

Then use Chromium without goggle: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Stop the madness

Isn't i.nu a little narrower, at least?
