Many small reasons; changing workflows, very strange default settings (may have been fixed a few years ago?), snaggy desktop integration, because it's a pain to use at work on Windows, etc.
You can fix a lot of problems if you have the necessary power. Unfortunately, this is not going to lead to a civilizational revolution.
Some people like disc cases and the actual disk itself, but the main gripes I've seen with digital only games on consoles were: 1) without a disc you can't give/trade/sell the game, 2) without a disc the game can be…
I rarely use vi{,m} these days but I sometimes still instinctively type motions or :commands into other terminal editors (which naturally blurts them out into the text buffer). When using something like Sublime or…
AGPL gives you the same FSF freedoms as GPL or as any other free license, but it does come with an additional responsibility to the end users, not from the end users. AGPL is not in any way uniquely qualifiable as "a…
Nobody is prohibiting you from using modified AGPL software to run your business.
It's plainly ridiculous that tens of millions of dollars can flow into a game project without anyone in charge ever caring about questions like "does it feel good to walk around in?", "does it default to having a…
There's only so many built-in and drop-in components available for the big engines; player movement, physics, render pipeline plumbing, UI frameworks, user settings, etc. You definitively do notice these things, if you…
Indeed, power off and power on sometimes doesn't even reset uptime.
What is the clear intention?
The Meta EULA does NOT allow you to record their tracking pixel.
Wow, I love foreign-born entrepreneurs.
Just ban social media.
What I find strange is how rarely LLM output is distributed alongside the LLM input, especially outside of code repos. Why can't I rerun the prompt that resulted in your work next year, when models have gotten better?…
I've never seen any corvid use React, so they must be pretty smart indeed.
This is the kind of thing that the people in power really don't want you to know, but I'll say it anyway because if we don't get the message out, it's just another free win for the Nazis: a bad presentation is a poor…

I am in favor of severely limiting both copyright and advertising, but for the benefit of everyone, not just for the benefit of a few "AI" companies.
That's why my favorite unit is the px, a.k.a., 1 centiinch.
I think he means that the point of the article is that the doodle is AI-generated.
The market valuates Roblox child abuse at almost a billion dollars?
I understand that Europe doesn't have many mandatory union arrangements. In Canada, unions are often shop-wide with no mechanism to opt out, which makes them very sticky and allows them to grow predatory if they can…
It's HN, nobody reads articles even when they're not slop.
Advertising isn't just B2C, it's also B2B. The companies that make everything you buy (from the food you eat to the electrical wires you install in your walls) needs raw materials and machinery to produce anything.…
