Aw, man, does ignore actually work for you? Because I see shit I’ve ignored on my store page all the damn time.

Honestly, this is kind of a weird question. It’s Google. They collect all of it. Every picture, every note, every keystroke. All of it.
The answer to "what information does GOOGLE SERVICE
collect is always all of it.
Oh dear god it’s hideous, at least on mobile. Yuck.
This seems awesome and all, but I can’t install any of the add-on on my Firefox Beta. The add-on site says I need a newer version of Firefox.
Which lazy bastards?
Err… no?
As far as I can tell, “hyperpolic” is a typo, and you meant “hyperbolic”, which kinda fits, but it would be “contains a hyperbolic statement,” rather than “contains hyperbole.” It would be less clear, though, since “hyperbolic” can refer to either “hyperbole” or “hyperbola”.
Meanwhile hyperbole refers only to a figure of speech and not potentially an open curve with two branches.

Sorry, did I ruin your joke? I ruined your joke didn’t I. Man, I just can’t stop myself from being a pedantic jackass…
Oh, I agree it’s a leap. It’s just slightly less of a leap than complaining about the NSA. I’m not saying you’re wrong about the knee-jerk reaction some Americans have to Chinese tech and China in general.
It’s just that the sputtering nonsense makes very slightly more sense after you mentioned the ban in the original post. You opened a crack in the door, is what I’m saying, and if an American Jingoist Asshat can get his head in the crack, he’s gonna get all the way in.
Well, it doesn’t really, except that you mentioned the US trade ban, which brings the reason for the US trade ban into the topic at least tangentially.
I do. I’m with you on that. But it makes marginally more sense that bringing up the NSA would.
Oh, I care about Five (Seven, Nine) Eyes every bit as much as I care about China, I assure you. But in a thread about a Chinese company’s new tech, it would be a bit weird to complain about NSA data mining. Kinda off topic, if you see what I mean.
Here’s the thing, YouTube. When you first started running ads, I didn’t really mind. They were short, there weren’t that many, and if they were particularly annoying or repetitive, there was a skip button. I respected that you needed to make money and that you wanted to pay the content creators, and you respected my time.
But then you decided to flood the fucking platform and cut the revenue share with the creators. Without adblock, I can’t watch a 5 minute video without 5 minutes of ads. You’re trying to force me into paying for your premium service by annoying me to death.
Which I might do if I thought the people whose videos I actually like got a decent share of the revenue. But they don’t. Hell, at least one of my favorite YouTubers is regularly demonetized, so they wouldn’t see a penny.
So, YouTube, I’ll keep blocking ads and use services like Patreon to support my favorite YouTube folks the best I can. And if you won’t let me use adblock? Well, I guess I have to find some other way to occupy that hour or so a week I use your service, because I’m sure as shit not using half of it to watch ads that don’t benefit the people whose videos I enjoy.
ETA: this post contains hyperbole (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hyperbole ).
I mean, that’s my plan.
I’ve been playing Terraria since June of 2011. It. Is. Awesome. Possibly my favorite game of all time. I knew the devs were awesome too, and I’m not surprised to see this.
If you don’t own it, I promise Terraria is worth both your time and the 10$USD. Plus, you’ll be supporting a kick ass team!
This looks neat, and I’m going to try it out, but does anyone else think that putting RSS and podcast capability into a note taking app is a bit random?
I feel you. Warmux was really neat. Sadly, it never got as much development as Hedgewars, even though the mascot theme was really cool. AFAIK, Warmux has been inactive (or at least extremely slow) for years, while Hedgewars has been thriving.
This one never gets the love it deserves. It’s a fantastic turn based strategy game with multiple campaigns and storylines, multiplayer, and campaign design tools. It’s an old project (started in 2003, IIRC), but it’s still fantastic
Basically, this is Worms but with adorable little hedgehogs instead of, well, worms. Single player is okay, and it has online multiplayer I guess, but the real fun (just like in Worms) is local multiplayer. Also, it has Portal Guns. There’s really no downside to this one.
This one’s a little iffy. Re-volt was a fantastic R / C racing game with bright graphics, fun tracks, excellent controls, and a killer soundtrack. For good or ill, it was put out by Acclaim, which self destructed in 2004. The Re-volt fan community, however, doesn’t know the meaning of the word “quit.”
Nowadays, you can join a lively community with regular online tournaments of the game. There’s a new cross platform engine called RVGL (that’s Re Volt Game Launcher), and metric tonnes of mods and fan content. You still need the original game’s assets, though, which is where it’s dicey; they’re technically abandonware not open source, unless I’m mistaken.
Anyway, links!
This project’s aim is to be Civilization V, but with more abstract visuals, and, or course, free. In short, it’s FreeCiv, but Civ V instead of II and a UI from the 2020s rather than the 80s. (Not throwing shade here; FreeCiv is an amazing project that is exactly what it wants to be!)
If that’s not enough to keep ya’ happy, I know a few more, but they’ve mostly been covered by other folks here.
Edit: formatting
Seems like if they wanted to avoid this sort of suspicion, they’d time the announcement for either right before or nowhere near when the scheduled sale would take place.
But then they wouldn’t get to feel like a Bond villain, so…
On Windows, Paint(dot)net. On Linux, Pinta!
Not gonna lie, it looks cool as hell. But if I get a handheld it’ll be a Steamdeck. I might be more tempted if it was Linux based, though.
