I've been hoping for a remaster of this to be released for a long time, watching https://github.com/hankmorgan/UnderworldGodot for progress. Then suddenly I saw this! Looks like a fully functional remake of UU in

Email clients should just strip out hyperlinks. You link in the email? Write it directly, then people can copy/paste it. It wouldn't stop all phishing, but it would be a start to increase people's awareness of shady links.

Setting up my PC with PopOS recently has been really fun. Everything is snappy and fast, and no bloatware crap.

Sounds like the old saying about the advertising industry: "I know half of my spending on advertising is wasted - I just don't know which half."

So funny to see this here, I was just looking into Ultima remakes last night, and saw this one among others. Looks really awesome. I never played any of the Ultima games back in the day, and have bounced off them when trying in later years.

Al Jazeera reports around 750 US military bases, across the world but concentrated in Europe, Japan and South Korea, and the Middle East. Not quite bordering China. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/10&#x2

Wow, why is the title tag of the page apparently a Windows file path?

I'm not a subscriber so I can't read it, which startup are they referring to in the headline?

You've got the wrong link I think, that's showing data from 2020 to 2024.

Nope, blank page here too. Or, it's actually going to the Firefox Home screen, I just turned off all the content in Settings > Home. I'm on 130, still a blank home screen.

This was such a great pitch for the book, I went ahead and ordered it! With fantasy settings in particular it's crucial to keep the setting consistent, since the book is the only "source of truth" on the matter. This sounds l

Side note, never heard of the band mentioned in the article but it sounds interesting: Bicycle is "a band that rolls across the country on bicycles and rocks in towns and cities along the way. ... 'Heavy metal folk rap' is ho

This is a very interesting approach, and the rules and principles are very sensible. It's nice to see something that tries to really use the platform and emphasize semantic HTML. Of course, as with any convention-based, getting everyon

I haven't personally done this course yet, but it looks very promising if you're looking for something that just tackles plain HTML and CSS, without any frameworks: https://www.spicyweb.dev/css-nouveau/1-vanil

Yeah, the potential for enshittification is massive. I can imagine they'll offer the Wi-Fi for free at first, use that as a reason to take out screens, and then start charging for the Wi-Fi as an "extra service" (in the way t

I wonder if this is the beginning of the end of in-flight entertainment. Once the Wi-Fi gets reliable enough, people will probably just start using their own devices and streaming services. Which of course becomes a great cost-cutting oppor

Elder Scrolls kinda falls under that umbrella, given that Elder Scrolls Online is a subscription-based MMO that I believe is still receiving content updates. Unfortunately that's probably a lot more profitable and safe than developing

I've tried Tailwind on smaller projects and it's not a bad way of writing styling. Not having to think about class naming or selectors speeds things up a bit, and it's nice that it promotes only shipping the styles you need (

Same, just got this in my feed yesterday. I've watched a few bushcraft videos before, but that's a while ago.
