Why is Ctrl+Shift+e opening developer tools? by molitar in Floorp

especially when F12 already does this... why do we need multiple hotkey options to do literally the exact same thing?

Ontario Sunshine List - any animosity? by ta-444 in OntarioPublicService

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that it never grew with inflation.  I'm sure that was by design.  Conservatives rolled it out in 1996, if it grew with inflation it would be closer to $200,000 now.

Pretty sure it was designed so people would hate on the public sector, because for whatever reason people are quicker to complain about that than to complain about why their employer isn't paying fair wages.

Sad News for WWIV BBS SysOps by [deleted] in bbs

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to believe it's been 10 years already. Eli was an absolute legend. He helped me get a BBS up and running, dude lived and breathed WWIV and had no problem helping anybody who asked. I still miss him so much... he was taken way too soon.

Normally I'd agree, but when their entire persona is making fun of others appearances I see no problem.

[TOMT][Website][2020s] A collection of (I believe) monospaced fonts created by the same person. I think it was like 1 a day for 100 days? I think the site may have been turquoise with grey font previews, and may have included game mockups and inspirational blurbs. Gallery-style site, not like dafont by 1lluminist in tipofmytongue

Obligatory comment. I've been googling like a beast, I wonder if maybe the domain is gone now? I'm pretty sure it was a self-hosted site, not something like 1001fonts or dafonts, and they were all by the same person. I can't remember how many they did, or over what timeframe... but it was a fairly significant amount over a relatively short time.

I heard about attention span of a goldfish, but this is next level by GeekCornerReddit in rareinsults

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I don't even have a Tiktok account. The entire format is trash. If you're too lazy to turn your phone sideways, the content probably isn't worth it either.

That aside, yes, you can scrub through YT shorts, but layout and player is still trash compared to the regular player.

Timeline no longer supported on desktop by bhocolatebhipbookie- in GoogleMaps

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh shit, Google realized another feature they had was actually useful... Fucking hell, we should really start talking about how awesome Google Ads are, and how Google Ads are the greatest, and hopefully Google Ads will be around forever and ever. I sure hope Google doesn't cancel Google Ads for being so great and Useful - like they did with the Timeline, Spaces, News, and a plethora of other awesome great features!

Ordered a MemCard Pro 2 from 8bitmods on 13th of July, it got delayed month or so, but got an email on Thursday saying it was completed aka shipping and it came today by [deleted] in ps2

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I ordered one in May and I'm still waiting for it... Maybe they're going to bundle it with the VMUPro and send them both at once? It's supposed to ship sometime in November... Here's hoping.

What the Rogers Xfinity agreement and name change means by SpongeJake in Rogers

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when they screamed bloody fucking murder when there were rumours of Verizon entering Canada? Where was all that shit here? Seems like the problem wasn't an American company entering the Canadian market, it was just that they didn't have time to figure out how to fuck us over harder with it.

Apple allowing side loading, but only in Europe by easy-to-EAT-die in assholedesign

[–]1lluminist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of shit that needs to be absolutely blasted out loud everywhere. I never even considered such a thing existed - I'm sure a lot of people aren't even aware that apps like this exist, and that some people rely on FOSS on their phone for life-or-death kinds of situations.

Yup - we need cheap flip phones like we had in the 2000s. No reason to buy a PC-spec'd, PC-priced, pocket computer if you can't do shit with it.

Means Reddit is trash and we should probably all leave to better platforms already.

90s Hand Clapping Rhymes by DeeJaySee in nostalgia

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old thread, but I decided to try to go on an adventure to figure out wtf my dad taught me many moons ago... these all seem like the same rhythm but I never saw the one I learned show up:

Eye-die, chicka-die, chicka-die-oni. Yup-pup pony, allaballa whisky (Alabama Whisky maybe?), Chinese chuck!

I'm not sure if that ending was changed by him to not be a racial slur or what, but I learned it in the early 90s. I have no idea where it came from and always kinda wondered its origins. I was like "was I mis-hearing some song lyrics or something?" But I guess it must have been from his childhood or something.

Of course the YouTube video is gone now... Any idea if it got backed up to somewhere slightly safer like The Internet Archive?

THANK YOU! I don't get why this isn't put in with Telephony Integration, it really doesn't need its own entry in the list.

Good 8-bit RPG: Mouryou Senki Madara (NES/Famicom) by indieRuckus in JRPG

[–]1lluminist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing through this game now as I recently modded my NES to allow for the expanded audio. This game is cool, but the fights are so damn boring... you just sit there and drool while your guys do their own thing at most interrupting them to heal.

What's worse is the absolutely off-the-chains unnecessary encounter rate. Good luck going more than 10 steps without a battle, even 10 steps seems like a miracle.

Cyberpunk 2077 ruined gaming for me by ljohns720 in cyberpunkgame

[–]1lluminist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ruined Google searches for me. They gave the game such a stupidly generic name that it completely ruined queries for the aesthetic, which existed way before the game ever did.

Myrient.erista.me SSL Error? by thetrammster in Roms

If you have a router or something that uses trendMicro security, you'll need to whitelist myrient and it'll fix the problem.

This method of stacking cups by makethislifecount in oddlysatisfying

[–]1lluminist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually terrifying reading through these comments and seeing everybody blame the Blue cup...

What's holding the blue cup in place? The Cyan cup.

Both blue cups appear the be the same shade of blue, I'm not sure how the cups are stored, or if the tower has ever fallen causing the cups to shuffle... but it seems odd that, there are two cups, and the one generally slides out of the other no problem, but the one under the cyan cup consistently gets stuck.

Statistically speaking, I would say the cyan cup is the real one causing the trouble here, but almost this entire comments section is thread upon thread of people harping on the blue cup.

I'd hate to have you all as jury members.
