drooopy··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
We really don't need a new desktop OS every year.
drooopy··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
Sequoia was the Snow Leopard of the 2020s. Going from that high to the lows of tahoe or golden gate is a real and jarring downgrade.
drooopy··on Finally, A True Blue Rose Exists
It's obviously white and gold.
drooopy··on Snap Wants to be a State Actor??–Kansas v. Snap
My idiot brain's first thought was "goddamn Canonical and their feature creep nonsense. what the hell have they done now?" before reading the article.
drooopy··on The Copilot+ PC brand is dead
For something to be considered dead, it must have been alive in the first place, which was never the case with the Copilot PC brand.
drooopy··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
Went cold turkey during the first covid lockdown. It was a combination of not being able to go out to buy cigarettes and also the fear of dying since I was a heavy chainsmoker.

Honestly, I didn't miss it once.

drooopy··on Grim Fandango Puzzle Document (1996) [pdf]
Year 2 of GF might be my favourite memory of any video game, ever.
drooopy··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
Never met anyone who used siri out in public, to be honest.
drooopy··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
What downgrade? A typical Gnome desktop is far more coherent than Windows or even macOS in some regards these days.
drooopy··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
I still don't see a good reason to upgrade from Sequoia.
drooopy··on KDE turns 30 and someone's brought an AI-native desktop proposal
The best way that my desktop can show me love is by being a glorified application launcher and nothing more. Also, the less meta/data that it sends back to its vendor the more love I feel that I am receiving.
drooopy··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
I wish that a consortium of Android phone makers would/could "LibreOffice" Android.
drooopy··on I hate you Microsoft
You'd have to pay me as well to use any Microsoft product, which is exactly what's been happening at my place of work haha
drooopy··on macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review
10.5 Leopard because 10.4 Tiger was my first interaction with Mac OS X and it blew me away. I couldn't wait to see what was next and how they could improve upon perfection.
drooopy··on macOS 27 Golden Gate – Review
If there is no way to remove this 17 GB model, then the OS is simply not for me anymore. I'll stick with Sequoia for another year and use it until it stops receiving security updates and then I'm back to being a full-time Linux user.
drooopy··on Microsoft patches Windows and Excel – breaks audio, remote access, and paste
Oh, man. The "Active" Desktop. The only thing that it kept active was my CD drive when I was forced to reinstall Windows every time I tried to make it work on my PC and it broke everything.
drooopy··on OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems
The state should treat sam altman the same way they treated Kevin Mitnick.
drooopy··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
Exactly how I feel about this game. While its redemption arc is one for the history books, every time I come back to it, I feel nothing.
drooopy··on Fastpotify
I find spotify to be more bloated now than iTunes was when apple pulled the plug on it.
drooopy··on Lake Ontario ("Lake America")
In the meantime, might I interest you in some protein water?
drooopy··on Where did the old web go? We followed 657,607 links to find out
Please don't forget to sign my guestbook! (low res gif of pen and paper goes here)
drooopy··on Where did the old web go? We followed 657,607 links to find out
Right? When I think of the old web I think of my Xena and X-Files fan sites on Geocities circa 1997
drooopy··on The UK's war on anonymity has come to America
Buffy is a real name?!
drooopy··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
And I bet you that I could still fit an XP-era weather app or widget on top of XP and Xenoblade inside that 256/384MB of RAM.
drooopy··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
I was replaying Xenoblade Chronicles on my Switch 2 and the whole time I was thinking about how this ENORMOUS, open world game originated on the Nintendo Wii, a console with only 88 MB of RAM.
drooopy··on Why MySpace fans want it back as relaunch hinted
I miss that quite a lot. For the past 20 years the Web has been a sterile wasteland full of minimalist white and grays and 0 personality.
drooopy··on Ron Gilbert started production on Thimbleweed Park 2
It was fun at the beginning but I got bored of it 2/3rds of the way in. The puzzles were an absolute chore to figure out and solve and the story kinda run out of steam.
drooopy··on KDE Plasma 6.7 Released
It boggles my mind how modern gnome doesn't come with a traditional desktop that you have to install an extension to enable.
drooopy··on Ryanair dark UX patterns summer 2026 refresher
The Ryanair website is a who's who of everything you're supposed to avoid in UI/UX design.
drooopy··on Web Browsers on Video Game Consoles
Same! My PC broke down and I couldn't afford to repair it for several months. Yet I didn't miss it much as I had a Dreamcast with a keyboard and mouse. That web browser became one of my most used apps of all time. Good times!
