The article isn't "about" ModRetro, please engage with the actual material instead of off-topic political tirades.

What serendipity, I've just begun my own play through a few days ago after having learned of the game (as most of those in North America have) through the Link's Awakening cameo. It's thoroughly charming, makes me sad it ne

I'm seeing your comment's downvoted, I'd like to hear from those that did as to why. Doesn't his current venture with his AGI startup Keen Technologies deserve being called out as a potential conflict of interest, here?

This article is in fact from 2023, the only thing from 2024 was an update on 03-11 that confirms the detected issue was addressed in macOS 14.3.1 (and likely earlier versions).

I've found the heuristics streaming apps use to determine whether or not to show "play next episode" or "continue watching" to be very hit or miss (sometimes due to a bad heuristic, other times due to a given episod

I think this all ties back to listening habits. I find individuals who share this opinion are typically stream-primary listeners who mostly listen to playlists, singles, and generated "radio" stations (which is entirely valid! Not

Not necessarily true, I'd argue the "perfect" dark mode uses the system's theme by default like you said, but still allows visitors to manually set light or dark should they wish to view the site a particular way (perhap

If nothing else, I really appreciate the summary, with all the comments and various threads on this it's a bit hard to follow exactly what the hold up is.

And still no movement on finally getting Bug 1178764 out the door, despite every other major browser supporting it. Nope, instead they'd rather faff about with the address bar to resounding universal disgust. [Bug 1178764]: https:&#x2

Bit of a disappointing read for me. Given the title, I was expecting more "meat" to the topic, like more details about why and how the author is now warming up to unit tests, anything to get the article beyond a surface-level

Funnily enough, I recognize this image from The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack liner notes (the image itself is from the movie). Why it's included in this article is lost on me.

Whoa, that's bad. I don't currently have an Android device to test with, but I will get an emulator set up this weekend to see if I can reproduce and fix whatever's causing this. Thanks so much for letting me know about this,

Thanks for the kind words, Sam :) Unfortunately, I don't believe there's any third-party offering on iOS that supports downloading music within the app from Apple Music or Spotify, I'm fairly certain you'd need to kick o

While I agree iOS 13’s Music.app is pretty shoddy in many respects, there’s plenty of alternatives other than Spotify that might better fit their requirements. (Marvis Pro, Soor, etc.) I consolidate the biggest players yearly in a review,

That's fascinating, I didn't realize that key serves multilingual support in some countries. Is that the standard configuration in China or a common setting for that key there?

by barrowclift 7y ago
That makes sense, I didn't even consider that some folks already have the key bound to something else.

Genuinely curious, why did so many developers ask for the return of the physical Escape key when you could easily re-map it to caps lock? Before this was an officially supported option, I always hated having to do big hand-shimmies every ti

Shoot, I didn't read the titles correctly enough; you're absolutely right, they're two completely different cafes. Thanks for the correction!

Not OP, but my use cases don't really require "traditional" extensions; 1Blocker and the Instapaper button are all I really need and want for day to day browsing, so improved extension support on other browsers doesn't a

Paw is hands-down the best REST app one I’ve ever used, and it’s a glorious, native macOS app. If you have any use for such a thing, give it a look.

While not a right-click, 1Blocker for macOS Safari does indeed a support "block this element" feature with their extension.

With a derivative name and derivative marketing/design, this just blends in easily with the crowd. This desperately needs a brand refresh to have any chance of leaving a lasting impression on potential customers.

Based on the praise others have been giving this, I can't help but feel I'm reviewing a completely different app. To me, supporting only Feedbin is a showstopper and woefully insufficient considering its contemporaries all support

Yes and no; if it was a browser extension that would limit the functionality to browsers that support extensions, and half of my browsing is done on Safari on iOS. This is the only option that covers my browsing in all cases.
