Wow that good!? Is it a good place to jump into the series for the first time?

So few people probably get to this page, under 1% of users. But a non-zero amount. Probably thousands per day, still dwarfed by the millions of users in general per day.

Notice the 25 year old button image (it's a pure image gif <img> tag, no alt text even) and the fact that the page has zero left & right margin/padding, shunting the text right up to the very edge of the page. I guarantee you no one at Amazon wants to touch this, and probably for good reason.

I don't care how much money the company makes (billions) or how many years it's been around (25+ years) but all companies inevitably have ancient stagnating parts of the product that no one has touched in years. This is Amazon's cancel order items page on a desktop web browser.

Anthropic (Claude LLM) AI Company doesn’t want people using AI for their resumes or any part of Interview for software developer or IT jobs at their office. How ironic? LOL. The company says AI tools are flooding their system with bogus rΓ©sumΓ©s and too many applicants. They can't find real talent

I think I got sent this VHS as a kid... They really hooked us with this campaign!! Receiving a free VHS tape in the MAIL back in the early 90s, about something NINTENDO was a shell shocking event. The game lived up to the hype anyway!

Bingo..I do this with the quickness as soon as I see a login prompt! Google sometimes prompts with "Report as Spam & Unsubscribe?" and I click it, I think because there are some special email headers for unsubscribing that may operate differently from web sites.

Yeah, which is great! And I do think it will be great. But PS4 Pro also struggled with 60fps 1080p games. There were not that many. Part of that is dev decisions, option for graphical detail over framerate.

And also maybe set the phone date in the past just to be safe.

I'd love just 1080p 60fps but worry if the switch 2 can even do that...

Wonder if will support cross play also. E.g. Mario kart 8 with old switch and switch 2 in same game.

Zelda BOTW or TOTK 60 fps would be nice on Switch 2 but I think that's unlikely. #switch2

Thank God it's not the "New Nintendo Switch"!! I would not have minded Super Switch but I like Switch 2.

So... He's effectively willing to let his own project stagnate and decrease in quality. This helps the project thrive ... How exactly?

GitHub actions code injection attack via malicious crafted branch name. Interesting! The Pull Request wasn't even merged but must have done something when GitHub Actions ran on the request. Be careful with your automated testing systems running on untrusted user code!

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.

Sadly I do not think this will last. Every free platform (no cost of entry barrier) inevitably will become more spam ridden, the more popular it gets.

Just finished wisps -- amazing! Thought about going for 100% then I saw "beat the game without dying" -- hell no ! Unless I can reload a save on death that sounds insanely difficult

This is what worries me about bluesky and any free platform. They're always going to be ridden with scams and spam, never ending uphill battle. Any money they do have will just go into fighting it until they run out.
