Why did 3D Platformers die?
  • I'd barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

  • Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”
  • That and mysteriously disappearing thumb drives

  • Big oof: The Google Pixel Watch 3 can't be repaired, only replaced
  • These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes

    My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I've got no incentive to upgrade

  • Is now a good time to get a Bambu?
  • Yes, but a better time was last month during the sale

  • Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes
  • It's Stanford. Protests are to be had against middle America, not those who actually hold power, else you might not get the network effects the school all but promises

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar
  • Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar
  • Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

  • Prusa slicer 2.8 UI changes
  • Honestly I'd just stick to orca slicer

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • Let's not forget when they shipped a full page ad for a Disney movie into a browser update

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • And these days, privacy is basically the only appeal of Firefox. It's slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can't hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life. Why mozilla seems determined to throw that all away is beyond me

  • Elon Musk drops lawsuit after OpenAI published his emails | CNN Business
  • Can we just have both entities annihilate each other? Please? They're both shit

  • Samsung is sunsetting Tizen and fully ending support for the smartwatch OS
  • It's not a now thing. It's already here. My thermostat, sprinkler controller, and rice cooker all run Android

  • When you "Support Reddit" by buying gold, you're supporting people like this
  • And if that public company has stock in the toilet it's worth fuck all to unload

  • Google won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation
  • Federated directories. We're going back to Yahoo like it's 1995

  • CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information
  • Replace the CEO with an AI. They're both good at lying and telling people what they want to hear, until they get caught

  • Android 14 for TV adds picture-in-picture mode and reduces power consumption
  • Can't wait for them to never roll it out

  • Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app
  • Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago

  • How we built the new Find My Device network with user security and privacy in mind
  • Kagi generated key points:

    • The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
    • The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
    • The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
    • The network has "aggregation by default" as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
    • The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user's home address.
    • Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
    • The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
    • Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
    • The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android's vulnerability rewards program.
    • Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

    Djot is a markdown alternative, created by John MacFarlane, creator of Pandoc and spec author of CommonMark. It aims to fix many of the little issues Markdown has, and does a pretty good job of it, imo.

    pdx.su CSS is fun again

    CSS has been undergoing a quiet renaissance lately. Lots of big features which previously required an external tool to use, are now native parts of the language, and its growing more and more all the time. If you haven't used CSS in a long time, for whatever reason, now is the time to take a look ag...

    pdx.su Why I (generally) don't use indented syntax templates anymore

    Sass, Pug, Haml, Slim, Stylus, and their friends all aim to make writing various bits of your frontend easier. And they mostly deliver on this primary promise. But they are all victims to the vagaries of open software development, and seem to have mostly fallen by the wayside. I loved using these th...

    Tailwind CSS, and the death of web craftsmanship
    pdx.su Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship

    There's a worrying trend in modern web development, where developers are throwing away decades of carefully wrought systems for a bit of perceived convenience. Tools such as Tailwind CSS seem to be spreading like wildfire, with very few people ever willing to acknowledge the regression they bring to...
