I remember when this doodle was released, me and my friends had a lot of fun playing it. I'm happy that it still works today and has (apparently?) been updated to no longer need Flash.

Yet another relic from the ancient times when Google was considered cool and innovative, I kinda miss it.

Hah, that was hilarious. I've never heard this song before.

Website seems to have been hugged to death...

Seeing as your font is OFL, you might like to submit it to Google Fonts. That would make it so much easier for devs to include on their webpages and other media.

Every single webpage I've seen with webp / avif images also had autoplaying videos, intrusive ads, and megabytes of JS. I don't think jxl will change that... What's the point of introducing new image formats that are poorly supported and take longer to encode/decode if you're going to cancel out the space savings anyway?

> Helps to remove WebP from the Accepts header to force servers to serve the original.

I have tried doing that with curl/wget but have been unsuccessful, websites still serve webp even when the original URL ends with .jpg or .png... Could you explain how you do it?

OnlyOffice, despite being newer than LibreOffice, has better compatibility with office documents and is way ahead in terms of UI. Plus it runs on Linux.

Excellent writeup, and the song (Searchlights) is pretty good too. Remember to always archive lost music in its full quality as ripped from the original CD or vinyl, in WAV or FLAC formats. Don't be an MP3 chump!

I'm more inclined to use the uppercase -R as it's standardized by POSIX and will generally behave the same on any POSIX compliant system.

Nice to see Newgrounds is still alive and more or less unchanged since its early days. With so many of the creative spaces online becoming highly censored hellholes, having a more laissez-faire platform is a breath of fresh air.

Looks like the page got hugged to death...

I've used proot in the past but it crashed often, I'm interested in finding other rootless chroot-like projects.

w64devkit is an absolute joy to use, and I'm surprised that it's still not widely adopted by devs. Extracting a single ZIP archive to get a complete POSIX environment on Windows with all kinds of build tools is nothing short of impressive, and it even supports Windows XP! (minus CMake and a couple other tools)

> Just dynamically link against the oldest glibc you want to support.

Just the other day I tried running an older binary and it failed with a glibc error, despite it being linked to a glibc version that's barely 5 releases behind the one on my system. So maybe glibc isn't backwards compatible after all...

    > Even if you use OpenGL you still need to write shaders.

Not in OpenGL 1.x

Where does it say that the OS was vibe coded?

Excellent write-up. Does anyone have the source of the background image shown in the last screenshot?

Looks interesting... Is there an equivalent encoder that can be used with this to generate VHS footage purely in software?

Could you provide a link to your project?

I see what you mean, but ultimately the video shows both the social worker and the judge were on the couple's side, despite the first impression... The social worker was painted as this very bureaucratic person who follows the rules to a tee, while still being sympathetic to the couple's situation. And the judge was painted as the intimidating figure with the final say, who eventually rules in favor of the couple and gives the child a permanent home. I agree with the other commenter who said the story was too good to be true, so the film making some artistic decisions for dramatic effect doesn't sound too bad.

Inspiring to see the couple accomplish this and in the early 2000s no less. Wishing them all the best. If you haven't already, watch the animated short film[1] by Zombie Studio. It was my introduction to this case before reading the article.

The mirrors one was part of the PC game[1], I remember it vividly.

Debian offers Nvidia drivers as well although they tend to be outdated. Thankfully you can use Nvidia's official .deb repos to get the latest drivers on both Debian and Ubuntu.

That's quite the impressive feature set. I do want to use Kdenlive but coming from Shotcut I didn't find the UI as easy to use, especially when it comes to handling the timeline... Maybe I'll try it again one day.

The official website states on the front page:

    This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed.

Absolutely amazing collection, and it has lossless FLACs too! Many thanks to the fans and IA for making this possible.

Remember to donate and help keep the Internet Archive alive.

Ninja is great and feels natural coming from Make. What it lacks in features it makes up for with speed, which is what ultimately matters.

Also worth mentioning is samurai[1], a pure C implementation of Ninja that's almost as fast yet easier to bootstrap needing only a C compiler.
