- Comment on Vampirium: 1997 is a mysterious looking choice-filled minimalist immersive sim 3 days ago:
What about nethack? Dwarf fortress? I think you can easily do stuff not explicitly programmed by the devs in such games. These are not immersive sims but I am open to the idea of a text based immersive sim. I think there are many examples, maybe caves of qud (haven’t played) where you can do some mind blowing stuff but usually they are called roguelikes not immersive sims.

And to add, like many sites, on mobile they try to make you install their app. Would like to just use the browser please…
- Comment on Rakuten TV blocks Linux 2 weeks ago:
As I’m feeling spiteful, I want to add that you can easily block the ads with firefox + ublock origin on Windows. So it’s hard to believe it’s some technical thing related to securing the ad playback.
I haven’t tried spoofing the user agent yet.
But even if it did the trick, I just don’t get the reason behind blocking other OSes.
Now that I think of it, they probably just spout out the user agent my browser sent in the error message.
I would be fine with watching some ad supported movies if they let me…

- Comment on Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware 4 months ago:
A massive reason must be the security concerns with them, with no upkeep from the manufacturer. And since they aren’t open source (some of the sources are probably lost by now) no-one else can fix the problems. These old drivers are essentially like backdoors into your system. You actually don’t want to have them around.
This is why Linux and other open source software is the only right way. Plug these old devices into Linux, they probably just work due to some hero reverse-engineering them.
We should only buy hardware that has open source drivers. Eventually, the companies should be forced to deliver sources, at least after support ends, and this should be enforced with right to repair style laws.

You get the same gas from biowaste. We get emissions from landfills
