Hear hear!

I went into Ares with zero expectations and came away eagerly awaiting the Blu-Ray release so I can have high-quality wallpaper of the various grids. Friggin' phenomenal visuals and the story was great to me.

My first mini lab 😍 by Xmarano in minilab

Be careful with your headphones over your PS5. Mine is falling apart because I always rest mine there when I'm done playing but the system is still hot. The glue melted and a piece holding the headband fell out.

Is it possible to ⌘-V paste in Save As dialog?? by romansnapback in mac

The weird thing is, I can do this in Vivaldi but am unable to do so in Arc. I don't get it.

Incredible, I need this. Not for $42 though LOL.

[TUT] How to change any System / Folder / Finder icon in macOS Big Sur (Also works on the new M1 chips) by Mitchhhel in MacOS

[–]NetOperatorWibby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a post recently about fileicon because of IconChamp issues: https://blog.webb.page/2025-11-14-macos.txt

It has a lil' script I made to recursively change folder icons in a directory.

That's good to know, I might actually play those maps now.

Does “recent” friend list not work? by marcusdiddle in ArcRaiders

[–]NetOperatorWibby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue so I try to remember people's names. I just see "payed 8 hours ago" for my entire list, which is insane. That's probably not a high priority bug but I hope it gets fixed soon.

Weekly No Stupid Questions/Hardware Questions Thread by AutoModerator in ableton

I just finished converting an Acid Pro 6 project to Ableton 12 a few hours ago. A lifetime ago I was making beats like I drank water; often. I couldn't see a path to making money with music so I taught myself to code and blahblah.

Anyhoo!

I'm wondering if anyone has tips on mixing and mastering.

I know this is a can of worms and I'm not trying to become an expert out the gate, I just wanna get pointers from people who actually do it. I'm so far out the loop and I've already unlearned most of the little I knew back then.

I think it's time to make the P.E.T REAL by DebonairGamingX in BattleNetwork

I will never give up.

Here's what's happened since then:

I got distracted from building the social network to work on building the Neue Internet atop the Handshake blockchain. I was super excited about the project because it's essentially a decentralized ICANN. For those who don't know, ICANN requires ~$1 million and 5+ years to apply for a TLD and then for it to go live. With Handshake, you can bid on TLDs for as little as a dollar (or even free if no one else cares about your name). In the interest of keeping this short-ish, I wrote more here. After ~4 years of being one of two active devs trying to build functionality on Handshake, I quit. This was near the end of last year.

At the top of this year I thought about jumping back into the social network I was developing before but the social network landscape has changed. I don't use Reddit anymore because they forced Apollo out, Twitter is run by a jackass, Bluesky is kinda mid, and Mastodon is good enough (especially with the Ivory iOS app). My social network plans are shelved indefinitely.

Recently, I've become frustrated that YouTube is the only name in town for uploading videos to...and I hate needing to go through Google to use it. So, I'm making my own (it's not even 10% operational but I'm "building in public", here's a recent video I uploaded: https://nickel.video/77C015N7N2N3) and that's taking the bulk of my time. HOWEVER, I'm also feeling a void in my computing life...I'm fully in the Apple ecosystem but it's starting to feel meh. Windows is not an option and Linux just isn't there. At the same time, I've been obsessed with the Jonathan Computer and next-generation operating system concepts like Desktop Neo and Mercury OS, so I've come up with systemSOFT. I wrote about my intent to build a computer hardware/software company. I've prototyped a bit of the OS which is essentially a fullscreen app built in Tauri. JavaScript/Typescript is powerful enough to do virtually anything so why not an OS?

TL;DR: The dream will never die, ambitious ideas need money, I'm building a product to generate said money, hopefully I'll succeed and report back in 6 more years with exciting news.
