I don't think they know about second remaster.

a Soulslike Metroidvania

Is this the gaming equivalent of increasingly niche music genres?

You can publish iOS apps without Xcode?

What kinda fucks me up - though I accept that I'm not a developer, so can't profess to fully understanding all of this - is that to make apps for Apple devices you have to have a relatively new Mac that can support a version of Xcode that can in turn support the latest version of iOS.

So you have to pay them £100 a year to be a registered developer. AND you have to shell out £1500 (minimum) every few years for a new Mac in order to stay current. And then they tell you have to throw them a tithe every time your app makes any money at all, even if you're not selling your app through the App Store, or using Apple's own payment systems.

That's triple dipping, right?

Literally the only thing about Symfonium that's lacking is having to manually scan the library when adding new music. I use Feishin on my desktops, which some manages to do it in the background.

Bilresa buttons from IKEA are a blessing. Cheap, (currently) work with ZigBee and ridiculously simple to set up. I can talk to Home Assistant, but never do.

I've got Nebula. Took 'em up on a deal on an annual sub when Tom Scott started his new series on there.

It's...fine.

It's nice to watch channels like Mr Mobile without adverts, but channels like Not Just Bikes and Mustard already run on YT without ads. Sure, there's an ad for Nebula at the end their episodes, but it's right at the end, so is easily skipped.

Don't get me wrong, there's loads of stuff on there, but discovery isn't particularly easy, and most of it is USA-centric, which doesn't really interest me.

I was talking about the Windows UI on Mastodon the other day, particularly in reference to how I have it set to dark mode on my PC at work, but when I hit Send/Receive in Outlook I get a bright white, XP-ass-looking box pop up. Someone replied, "the older the settings boxes look, the more useful they are". And I can't disagree.

Almost too good, I find.

I tend to have safe search off, because I'm a grown up. But it can be kind of annoying to search for a completely innocuous term, only for the image results to somehow be rammed full of people getting rammed full.

It doesn't look like anything to me.

Brb, just submitting a merge request on the Graphene git.

Ah, but Linux is faultless, so no such thread could ever happen.
