This is the first I’m hearing about it. I don’t know why anyone would be excited about this.

HOLY SHIT Onslaught was definitely WICKED SICK

I know that. I mean why are they not part of this agreement with the Internet Archive.

Why the hell aren’t UT2004 and UT3 in there as well?
- Comment on Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X 5 weeks ago:
There are, however, also those who simply defer to the powerful — that assume that “this much money can’t be wrong,” even if said money has been wrong repeatedly to the point that there’s an entire website about it. They are the people that look at the current crop of powerful tech companies that have failed to deliver any truly meaningful innovation in years and coo like newborn babes. Look at the coverage of Sam Altman from the last year — you know, the guy who has spent years lying about what artificial intelligence can do — and tell me why every single thought he has must be uncritically cataloged, his every decision applauded, his every claim trumpeted as certain, his brittle company’s obvious problems apologized for and readers reassured of his obvious victory.
Nowhere is this more obvious right now than in The Guardian’s nonsensical decision to abandon Twitter, decrying how “X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse” mere weeks after printing, bereft of context, Elon Musk’s ridiculous lies about his plans for cybertaxis. There is little moral quality to leaving X if your outlet continues to act as a stenographer for its leader, and this in fact suggests a lack of any real interest in change or progress, just the paper tiger of norms and values that will only end up depriving people of good journalism.
- Comment on After is a new dating app that tries to tackle ghosting 2 months ago:
When I was in my early 20’s and first on dating apps, ghosting was frustrating, but as I became more aware and empathetic, and learned that I am not entitled to the attention of others, that frustration became a lot less of an issue pretty quickly. This looks like it was developed by people who haven’t realized that and it feels pretty cringe. I doubt this will go anywhere.
- Comment on The Plucky Squire Should Have More Faith In Its Players 2 months ago:
I played through it yesterday. It was interesting, and there were fun story beats, but it was very easy. With all the accessibility features and tutorials, it’s probably a great game to get people who don’t play games interested in platforming games and maybe even some RPGs.

I searched both Cory Doctorow’s post and the linked 404media article in his post for “air purifier” and found nothing. What author are you referencing?

I use Kagi, stract, and a self-hosted searx-ng instance. Kagi is so well polished that it’s what I use most of the time, but I keep an eye on the other two and continually ask myself if I’m ready to drop Kagi to get away from financially supporting Google and Microsoft.

- Comment on Any service cheaper than Backblaze? 9 months ago:
Tarsnap charges you for the compressed, deduplicated storage used, so if you’re mostly backing up documents and working files, the amount of storage used is way lower than the raw uncompressed storage. This includes deduplication at a block level.
If you use Backblaze B2 with Restic, you can get the same functionality at a much lower price, but requires more setup.

Depending on the type of data, Tarsnap may be what you want www.tarsnap.com

The article explains that, yes, they did plan to move…in April. The Taliban government did, in fact, shut them down ahead of that schedule.
