Yeah, that should have been the death knell. What do you mean I need to log in to my office suite?

I use LibreOffice, and run Collabora (which is also LibreOffice) for my NextCloud instance.

I have!

They removed document editing capabilities of purchased versions of Office despite the license being perpetual. They essentially turned it into a read-only thing.

Not that I’d complain about reverse engineering being made legal. I’m still salty about ATLUS essentially killing COMP_HACK. It wasn’t hurting them since they themselves killed the MMO years ago.

Much of Warframe’s original design still exists within the game, however tweaked and refreshed: the developers have removed a few larger chunks, including the underloved PvP raids,

What?

Raids were never PvP. However, they were notoriously buggy, and were left in the dust as Digital Extreme’s design philosophy for Warframe changed. Thus they decided to sunset the raids instead of letting the content waste away.

PvP is a separate story.

Also, what other “larger chunks” have they removed? I’ve played since 2014 and I can’t recall them removing large chunks. They’ve updated and extended systems. They removed companions dying permanently (which hardly counts as a large system).

but they’ve mostly sought to polish up aspects that have lost their lustre, while playing out stories that range from spacey self-referentiality to commentary on indentured work.

That second part is obviously referencing Fortuna, which is less a commentary on indentured work and more a commentary on rampant uncontrolled capitalism. What exactly is “self-referentiality” meant to be though?

Banshee, a sonic avenger

A what?

This part reads like AI.

Gods I wish this was literal.

Your son does not live up to your username. That was a lovely story, and very well described. Thank you for sharing.

Hope some group makes it their mission to start flooding github with garbage code.

Aah, cheers for the clarification. I skimmed the github link in the original post, but it mostly seemed like people were happy, and I’d not heard anything about treesitter so it kind of came out of left-field. :)

People acting entitled to the time of volunteers is bananas.

When your goal is to control the masses that’s exactly what you want.

What happened to it?

Holy shit. That’s dark.

Reason to get up in the morning and live your life.

This reminds me of Dirk Gently, the show not the books.

For me it was the way they treated the Apollo developer Christian Selig leading up to the whole API thing. Absolutely heinous.

He could go with laughing at the absolute clown rhetoric his interviewer was coming with. The cockwomble really thought that he could trip him up and get him to say something like “oh no actually I think we should be protecting criminals that rape babies, that’s perfectly fine.”

It’s nice to see a preview of what Swedish political debate will look like in a couple of months.

Should’ve been wary of it before.

Murdoch killed the British newspaper unions because he took out a loan to establish FOX in America, and he used the salaries of the workers for his British papers to pay for it.

Honestly, he should’ve been laughed out of business the moment he established the misogynistic and pedo-like page three girl.

Reminder that this in the past this kind of thing has lead to such legal persecution that both Jonathan James aged 24, and Aaron Swartz aged 26, both committed suicide because of it.

Aaron Swartz’ crime? Downloading scholarly articles from JSTOR to distribute to the public.

Now we have multi-billion dollar corporations doing these things, but several times worse, and they’re bribing politicians and running countries!

I’m personally going with elrc where available, otherwise lrc.

The E in ELRC stands for enhanced. It has karaoke-style granularity, if that’s something you care for, and can find.

Navidrome has supported lyrics for a while now, but the web client only supports embedded ones. Checked my instance and that still seems to be the case as most of my songs have lyrics as standalone files, but the client insists that there aren’t any lyrics.

With the update I’ve added this Navidrome lyrics plugin, but I’ve not really tested it yet. I’ve been using lrcget to locate and add lyrics before this update.

Lyrics work fine in other clients. On my phone I’ve been experimenting with NaviBeat, otherwise I’ve been using Amperfy.

On desktop I’ve been using Nocturne, (via flathub), but I think based on how long lyrics take to load in that, that it fetches the lyrics from somewhere other than Navidrome.

If we as humans choose environment-destroying AI over food and people… what are we even doing!?

The same thing we have been doing for so, so long at this point; choosing capital over life. Why would that suddenly change?

Doubt he has friends.
