so I opened up the localization file:
"Wild Cards can be played any time and change the active color of play"
"If you have a lot of cards in one color, try to play as many of these cards before the color gets changed"
"Don't forget to call UNO when you play your second-to-last card!"

THESE ARE HINTS FOR UNO.
THIS GAME IS NOT UNO

STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT

* CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR

* YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT

* Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell.

"Hello I would like my saved daylight back please"

They have played us for absolute fools.

If you've not read it yet, Nate Graham put together a great piece on the current state of Wayland https://pointieststick.com/2023/09/17/so-lets-talk-about-this-wayland-thing/

50+ sites are using my Detect Missing Adblocker WordPress plugin, which lets you warn your site's visitors if they *don't* have an ad-blocker installed.

Huge thanks to everyone who shared it over the past few weeks!

There's a few ad-blocking methods that the plugin can't handle yet, so if you have a bit of time and necessary skills, please have a look at these open issues:

Patch for the vulnerability in bloat that allows a malicious upstream server (Pleroma/Mastadon) to return crafted JSON data in the response of an API called by bloat to make it go out of memory and cause Denial of Service.
The attack could be performed by a malicious user by connecting to a malicious server. Technically, it doesn't have to be a Mastodon compatible server, any HTTP server that'd respond to the HTTP paths requested by bloat could work.
bloat instances running in the single instance mode are not affected assuming the specified instance doesn't serve the malicious response.
The patch applies a limit on the size of the response returned by the server, currently set to 8MiB.

In case you're curious how you connect that to the wall...

Ctrl+Alt+Win+Shift+L on Windows will open Linkedin in your browser???

This OS is so fucking cursed holy shit

@Pashhur @foone Haha, imagine a post-apocalyptic world where everyone navigates by the different error codes, distress beacons, radioactive remnants. Nobody knows what 500 Internal Server Error means but by precisely timing it you can know how far you are from Belgium.

Every YouTube video is either "all of science and the entire history of the world explained (5:41)" or "how player two's controller inputs are processed on level six of this japan-only game boy advance game that was only available free with a particular brand of cereal for two weeks in one store (2:37:21)"

does anyone use a vertical mouse they’d recommend?

jack dorsey deleted his bluesky account, lol

(for anyone who hasn't been following, he's expressed a strong favour of nostr in the past, and is distancing himself from bluesky)

I know I'm a day late on the latest techdrama, but I forgot to give my crunkly hot take on the Unity pricing update (as a thoughtfluencer).

PROPRIETARY FAGS BTFO. My personal favorite part is in their Q&A they say that "WebGL" counts, but without being any more specific that that. This means in the worst interpretation every single time someone refreshes your webapp you can be charged up to 20 US cents.

How else do you count a WASM/WebGL "installation", you don't install it, it just loads directly into the browser.

A game that asks an important question: "What if Myst was bad, and all puzzles relied exclusively on looking stuff up in the Bible?" 🤔

So, big news yesterday. I'm appalled at the impact this will have on the #Unity ecosystem, and #gamedev at large. There's just no way this can lead to anything good for anyone.

#GodotEngine is getting a lot of positive attention in reaction, so I want to address a few things. 🧵

Fuck it. #YOLO

#Bluesky continues to be entirely non-responsive to the numerous security vulnerabilities I've reported to them, so I spent the evening writing up a nice README and a framework with exploit modules, and just made it all public.

Have fun.
