Suggestions:

- make the controls work like a typical FPS (i.e. WASD controls should not rotate the player but just strafe)

- make spacebar jump, and a different key to talk, like T

- make the jump work like a platformer where you start falling as soon as you release the button. so people can make small hops to the beat

- stop dancing after a few seconds of inactivity

Consider yourself lucky if they still make music in their vintage style

Why not put it behind Cloudflare protection - or is that not effective?

Unfortunately, finicky isn’t acceptable when it comes to keyboard and mouse.

> it somehow feels “cheaper” and I dislike listening to them

As you should... Soon they'll start selling fake concert tickets, like a pig butchering scam but with music

Our relationship to slop is a bit more complicated than that, no?

Whether it's terrible music or not is somewhat irrelevant. Plagiarized music doesn't sound worse than the original.

What seems to matter more is the story behind the work. Basically, if the author is a grifter trying to make a quick buck, then it's slop. You can make an argument that Taylor Swift qualifies as slop, but most people will disagree. The public will be the final arbiter. All I really want is a big red lever to cast my vote.

My problem with IPv6 is that I can't double click 2001:db8::1428:57ab to select the entire address. It's a silly complaint but representative of real ergonomic issues.

Me too. And I'm speaking from using it at Rdio 15 years ago.

Nothing since (Gerrit, Reviewboard, Github, Critique) has measured up...

It's a fatalistic attitude. Some kind of is/ought fallacy. This is why we need precepts like "Focus on the user and all else will follow."

Well this was prescient... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47582220

Gonna see if I can implement https://chiptune.app in an actual TUI with this.

Shout out to Digsby as well. Similar app from around the same time period.

Haha. That was wonderful to the very end.

Wasn’t it George Orwell who said “writing is thinking”?

This is cute and I hate stubborn Apple bugs as much as anyone. But these $100 billion figures should be weighed against the hypothetical trillions that Apple has contributed to humanity.

I guess we need a font rendering engine for arbitrary subpixel layout...

This is the biggest mistake, imo. The snowflakes should disappear immediately...

I disagree completely.

Generalizing a bit, aren’t we? I never heard this version of the rhyme

I don’t understand how the parent comment is downvoted yet this is not. “Stealing is ok because stealing is already a thing”… come on, now

You're too generous. I feel like the entire production run of this ring could be equivalent to a single discarded washing machine. This law is hamfisted.

I didn’t realize how far these had fallen out of fashion. I maintained http://kenn.cr.k12.ia.us for a time, and it was so hard to remember that domain (scarcely easier than an IP address) until I tried to understand it. It’s now kennedy.crschools.us.

this way is better. Burn in public, burn much faster.

If anyone from APA.org is listening, this website is really bad on mobile

The Klax port for Game Boy Color (1999) contains a hidden wedding proposal. It took Mike Mika's girlfriend 3 years to find it

I like to call these "windshield wipers." Rarely used yet essential.

Good Lord this is cool, gorgeous Nokia UI

The nerdy sales pitch got me excited about a knife. Also, I have to wonder if the name is a deliberate nod to the Seattle Supersonics...

A more interesting question is probably something like, what’s the quietest (practical) way to move air around the room? My money is on a high-end ceiling fan.
