mouse_··on Nintendo Switch is getting a Virtual Boy accessory and Switch Online games
(new)3DS is still likely going to be the best way to play these games, with the red viper emulator. You get pixel perfect output with only a modest 8px border, the ability to change the screen color from the characteristic red to your own preference (a surprisingly nice accessibility feature), adjustable depth with a convenient hardware 3D slider, and no clunky head gear to drag around.

Seriously, 3DS is so perfectly suited to virtual boy it's a wonder Nintendo didn't make it official. I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't yet to give it a go!

Then they probably shouldn't ship it with a package manager.
mouse_··on If I hear "design pattern" one more time, I'll go mad
we need to change stuff up every once in a while to get people to buy the new books and license the new boilerplate. If things kept working the way they always have, people could just buy the old books and use the old software, because it works fine, so we need to change our culture to ensure it becomes obsolete.
mouse_··on Windows 10 resists its end: usage share climbs while Windows 11's falls
Nah, 2k had big problems for desktop usage. No window snapping to edges of any kind, including no win+arrow keys for tiling, maximize, minimize restore etc., you couldn't just click the bottom left hot corner to open your start menu, you actually had to click on the button that said "Start"; no opening start menu and typing "Mouse" and hitting enter to open the mouse control panel (Windows Search was truly so excellent pre-UWP settings); no desktop compositing, so all your windows will have constant screen tearing;

It's a "Tyranny of the Marginal User" problem.

Microsoft execs believed nothing could drive Windows users away, because they're addicted, but changes -could- potentially bring in Mac users. So everything was designed by and for Mac users.

That's a mouthful!
mouse_··on Lossless Listening Arrives on Spotify Premium
Yeah but your smartphone can't play it without resampling it, and last I checked, your Bluetooth headpods can't play it without reencoding it.

Lossless streaming is a marketing ploy that wastes resources for no reason. High bitrate opus is better for streaming.

mouse_··on The MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge
Only ever had a Thinkpad lid close sensor fail once. Found my T60 heating up my backpack. Other than that, never been a problem.

I've never once had a Dell/HP/Acer/Asus with a reliable lid close sensor. You can't trust those things.

mouse_··on You Can Now Create Bite-Sized Clips from Your Favorite Scenes on Netflix
They think they're leaving money on the table because some people post scenes from their shows on YouTube shorts?

I wonder how much they're going to spend on this / have spent already.

When you follow a cult/religion's instructions to the letter and still fail, this is the excuse every time. It's manipulative and unverifiable.

It will, for what it's worth. Unions do better, more sustainable work, and help everybody.
