Creaks. It's a puzzle platformer sort of in the style of Limbo and Inside. Beautiful hand drawn graphics. Really challenging puzzles. And the music feels like it organically evolves as you progress through the game.

Do you happen to have a source for this claim? I did some cursory searches on this just now and found nothing except for one reddit thread where one person said the same thing but again with no source.

In the 00s I used to download pirated movies and tv shows off of these asian YouTube clones. There were english boards with links to videos on these sites so finding specific movies or shows was easy. They were often split in 10 minute parts. 240p at best. Audio was often out of sync. I'd then load them onto my click wheel iPod ("iPod classic") and watch them in bed. It's how I watched a lot of movies my parents wouldn't let me see, like Alien. It's also how I watched nearly all of MST3K.

Increasing diagnoses of depression, not depression itself.

I think some of it was used in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I feel like every year Anker is recalling one of their power banks. Couple of years ago I had to return one of mine, but I have two other Anker models. Does Anker do more recalls than other brands?

Initially posted this to c/videos but a few minutes later remembered the no politics rule so I removed it and reposted it here.

The problem in question:

A relative of mine last week ended up in the hospital because for several months he was "treating" a foot wound (maybe a bad spider bite?) with ivermectin and oils. It never healed then he developed a really awful infection that spread over his whole foot up to his knee.

Yeah, I've always hated that about Apple, and I primarily use Apple products. They have opened up a little bit in the last few years though. Like in macOS you can choose from a few different accent colors, you can turn borders on around buttons (I think that's a contrast setting in accessibility), you can turn off transparency, and you can change the color of your mouse cursor (mine is now hot pink—never lose sight of it).

I mean, I'm not entirely opposed to some translucency and gloss if it doesn't get in the way of legibility. For me early Mac OS X 'Aqua' circa 2003 is the peak of that aesthetic.

Any UI theme should also be applied consistently. What I hated about Vista is the Aero theme was only surface deep. You were always only a few clicks away from some program that look liked it hadn't been updated since Windows 95.

I've run into gen-z people talking very nostalgically about 2000s UI design trends. They've even retroactively dubbed the era as 'futiger aero'.

I'm a bit older and don't as fondly remember that era; I remember a lot of excesses like nonsensical reflections and calendar apps with leather textures. The 2013 turn to "flat" design felt quite fresh to me, and I haven't really gotten tired of it yet.

After the whole Firefox debacle I'm trying to find a new privacy oriented browser for my Mac and iOS devices with bookmark syncing. Ideally an open source browser but I don't think one exists right now that has both macOS and iOS versions. For example LibreWolf has a Mac app but no iOS app.

It's not open source but Orion browser which exists on both Mac and iOS is the only browser I can find on Apple's App Store that has "Data Not Collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app." on its app store page.

And it has some interesting features like being able to run Chrome/Firefox extensions on iOS (including uBlock).

But I did some digging into Kagi, the makers of Orion and was turned off by them being an AI search company. Also, despite Kagi claiming Orion completely blocks fingerprinting I couldn't get Orion to pass EFF's fingerprinting benchmark tool; it always said I was unique no matter what settings I tried. And I've read some other questionable things about how Kagi operates its business which I won't go into here.

I know there's Brave but I'm turned off by the company's connection to crypto and their inclusion of AI in their browser.

Maybe Vivaldi? Vivaldi however says they do some anonymized telemetry to collect usage statistics. And again these two browsers also aren't open source either.

I'm afraid there are no good macOS + iOS browser setups? I'm hoping someone will correct me. 😬

I understand the need for content warnings on posts containing nsfw or nsfl materials, or anything that has a good chance of triggering a traumatic response, eg discussions related to self harm or abuse.

But I've run across people who expect others to put content warnings on selfies (especially if they contain eye contact), pictures of food (often specifically food with meat), and anything to do with politics. I don't want to invalidate their needs or preferences and say they shouldn't wish to see those things on their timeline; I'm just not sure content warnings is the appropriate tool in the cases.

Mastodon has very customizable controls for hashtag filtering now. You can set up filters to completely hide posts containing certain hashtags or you can have mastodon apply content warnings to them for you if you want to decide whether to see the affected posts case by case.

I think the people in the latter group should instead apply hashtag filtering as needed. If they see a post that gets around their filter, they should either adjust their filters or ask the poster to use the appropriate hashtags, eg to remember to use #politics when posting about politics.

Thoughts?
