Trying to load it on Firefox (Floorp Browser variant 11.26.0) and the examples get stuck on the `Loading` screen. Moving my mouse over it draws the cursor and leaves it imprinted on screen so you get that permanent trail effect.

In the console I see:

  Failed to load ‘https://90s.dev/os/fs/run?  code=H4sIAAAAAAAACk2QMW%2BDMBCFd%2F%2BKa4QEKAiiKlMVs1Rqlw4dmy0GjsSNsRE2TVKL%2F16DSYq3d3ef797jTas6A6zlCVgIEnhFabBL4L1TfbtP4IMVKGb5BQPUnWogzJTOHJN%2B65AQdmF8%2BiJtOxR9hfqNS65PWBFSKqkNlKqXBigE0SaeS1yWrhDFQHPfTn%2BY6HG9vjMtkyjcyP%2Fv%2BqbThp3xc%2BxEFiRr8AVWJxRCwUV1olrBkBCAnTcBmv8itXc0GOUABSvPR%2BdGVtRurtvp1fWQO86R3jYcWUvtdi668pQCGLwaGi72PYWQPWbmiCb0%2BYG6RtEboyRocxNIQ90XDTchsNJwJal1QQx5KXh5hgZ3mR9e0IvV1gfFKtaaSI7JHSYQKwisHMDwBvUhHhZHZf6q2Z1X%2B1HtMh9STmJCpqzTWpW99uHGfz0j7XEYAgAA’. A ServiceWorker passed a promise to FetchEvent.respondWith() that rejected with ‘TypeError: Array(...).keys().map is not a function’.

Seems to work fine in Chrome though.

I've noticed on iPhone Youtube Premium I've had overlay ad widgets appear. I think they're for a creator's own merchandise, but I'm guessing that there's some sort of revenue mechanism for Youtube being happy to include these. To me it's still an ad and it's what I pay for to avoid seeing it.

I wonder how long we'll go for before we start to see ad-lite Premium, and something like Premium+ to view ad free.

Wow, yeah just tested that and it's really bad. I guess it's a strange thing to do, but a good way to test how the cursor hijacking code gets stalled when scroll is active, and I'm guessing they're doing UI updates on scroll so the thread is getting thrashed there.

Even just making a circle motion with a mouse produces a lot of stuttering. I just did the same action on HN and it's as smooth as you'd expect on a CPU from 1995 and beyond.

I had an interesting one yesterday where I was building out some code on the Unreal engine and I gave o4-mini-high links to the documentation, a class header, and a blog with an example project.

I asked it to create some boilerplate and it presented me with a class function that I knew did not exist; though like many hallucinations it would have been very beneficial if it did.

So, instead of just pointing out that it didn't exist and getting the usual "Oh you're right, that function does not exist so use this function instead", I asked it why it gave me that function given that it has access to the header and an example project. It doubled down and stated that the function was in the header and the example project, even presenting a code sample it claimed was from the example project with the fake function.

It felt like a step up from the confidently incorrect state I'd seen before to a level where if it weren't for the fact that I'm knowledgeable enough about the class in question (or my ability to be able to check) then I'd possibly start questioning myself.

Presuming that you're on Windows, you might need to configure your ssh keys first.

My PC is not 11 compliant, the CPU and Motherboard (No TPM) do not pass the test. I use it as my daily driver for developing with Unreal 5 and it runs great, so the idea that this PC isn't fast enough in 2025 is wild. Given what software I use daily I'm limited to using Windows, so I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do come October.

Bookmarking this for when I have some free time. It might get me back to finishing my read through of Berserk.

Are you planning on adding the power pills to give Pac Man a fighting chance?

Also, I noticed that he often circles around the upper left area a few times at the start even though there are no dots to collect.

One Little Ghost (2012) [1] [2] for the ZX81 is one version I only recently found out about. Figured it was worth mentioning here given how impressive it is for a game on the humble ZX81 machine that's well over 40 years old.

Matt really knows how to use the medium well. His visualizations are so good in showing how things work. It's absolutely worth checking out more of his Quake videos.

DPaint III finally granted me the ability to create animation, which was always one of my early dreams to be able to do. I combined my obsession of Lemmings with Judge Dread to create a series of shorts following the exploits of Judge Lem. Sad that I no longer have the disks for them, but I'm so thankful for how amazing and accessible DPIII was.

Specialization I presume, so one produces the metadata that can be consumed by another.

Also, the thing from the above post that stood out to me would be to act as a reminder for the reader. Not so much the location and emotion, but the character data. I've often found myself wondering who the character is that's appeared in a scene, forgetting that they previously appeared earlier.

I picked up chess a few weeks ago after having a lift time of never getting around to learning it. This is great fun and I'm getting to use my newly found skill set of knowing horses move in L shapes.

EDIT: Just scraped through level 9 with zero moves left. Felt tense.

As a life long fan of Lynch, I took the trip last year to go through his entire back catalog of content, from his student films, shorts, commercials, TV shows including On The Air, behind-the-scenes clips and of course main movies. Such a great journey, everything he crafted carried something more than what you saw and heard, there's always a thread or the power to make it feel like there was a thread beyond the frame.

Outside of all the typical Lynch stuff, one thing I always suggest people watch is The Straight Story. It's such a wonderful movie, one I hoped at release would find a much bigger audience as it really deserves to be seen and shows that Lynch wasn't a guy who just made weird things, he made great things.

A lesson in what can happen if you fail to init variables.

I found the popups annoying. I understand that you want to capture an audience, and apparently these pop ups work, but I find them off putting. A box somewhere on screen that people can use would be less invasive. Enjoyed the game though.

I did the same thing, based on the notion that pizza was fine, I didn't think I needed to go more specific. It was odd to see chicken get replaced by my guess of meat, but I didn't think to try more specific meats after that guess.

They got laid off in 2014. MS relies more on insiders, early update roll outs, automated testing.

I'm still on Windows 10 so can't comment on the state of 11, but I feel like I see a good number of headlines about botched updates. The recent 24h2 screwed up users that had Ubisoft software installed and caused them to pause roll out.

In October an update caused systems to get into a bluescreen loop requiring a rollback.

The fact that they're pushing people to 11 this year and stopping 10, when 11 is still having "teething" issues is not good.

This is one of those ideas that almost feels so obvious I can't believe it's not been done before.

I've been wanting to get back into playing text adventures for years now, but the idea of sitting at a PC to read text has been the reason why I haven't. I've played a few choose your own adventure type games on my Kindle, but found the page switching, physical dice and paper character sheet, taking away from the enjoyment.

I'm kinda kicking myself now wondering why I didn't think of the solution. I've tinkered with ESP32s, eInk screens and input devices before, and all together, but never saw what now feels like the obvious application. Looks super cool.

I use my own CSS to override the default look.

I added thumbs up emoji for voting, book emoji for read comments, larger user names, larger headers, and dark color scheme.

I don't know how accurate StatCounter is, but their latest report is showing the breakdown of OS users as:

- Windows 11: 36%

- Windows 10: 60%

Using Steam Hardware survey, it shows:

- Windows 11: 53.46% (-1.50%)

- Windows 10: 42.87% (+0.48%)

Whilst these numbers look very bad for Microsoft, especially given that we're less than 10 months away from Windows 10's home user support, it's potentially even worse if the data is correct and more people are reverting to Windows 10. Reasons I can think of there might be due to some of the recent Windows 11 updates harming performance in applications, notably many major Ubisoft titles.

I'm still on Windows 10, for two reasons. My motherboard does not support TPM 2.0, and I have not had any reason to need to upgrade given it still runs everything I need perfectly. Secondly, I have not seen any reason to go to 11 from 10; I don't love 10, but 11 doesn't seem to fix any of my issues, if anything I see many worse features.

This bugs me so much. It happens constantly. A few days back I searched for a person's name, put it in quotes and I got results with celebrity with somewhat similar name. Zero hits on the person I searched for on the front page. I had to add specifics to the query such as job title to find them.

Based on the fact of them using a dark pattern to hide a subscription tier, and effectively hiding the one that they're claiming to no longer exist hence the price increase would have me cancel out of principle.

Have a look at the golden shares part of that, 1% gets you a lot.

Chinese government has a golden shares deal with Bytedance granting their 1% ownership the ability to nominate a board seat.

The speed of that take off, or lack of, was wild. I don't think I've ever seen a rocket build up its speed so slowly.

The methane blue looked spectacular.
