God I miss the old Roblox. Every now and then I come back to see what’s up. A lot of the old places are still there, but some of the scripts don’t work anymore. I always look back at my old places from waaaaayyy back and every time I do I see them through different eyes and come to understand child me a little bit differently. Roblox around '08 was really something special.

By the way, if you were active on the old forums somebody went and archived them: https://archive.froast.io/

I’m glad I never used my actual name, looking at my dumbass posts lol

EDIT: By the way, there’s some really cool shit being made by the new kids, I mean Roblox did make a ton of money off them after all. Recently I played a bit of the AoT game. And of course there’s Dress to Impress. The barrier to entry for places is a lot higher now.

Cause it was made in Japan of course

Serious question, is there actually a FOSS project out there at the scale of something like Firefox that survives on only donations?

Have you got a more specific search term for Gemini? Unfortunately the word has been taken by Google

And then their non standard file format turns out to just be a zip file or gzipped JSON data 😂

I assume that word also means something else than what I’m thinking…

But it’s good that viable alternatives exist in case Microsoft ever considers shutting down the Java edition.

I had never even considered that as a possibility but now it seems all too possible and I’m gonna have to sit with that for a while…

I’ve actually used this to my advantage. I bought some cheap speaker/light combos which basically made the lights dance to the music. The only power connector was a wire that comes straight out of the device and into an outlet. But it did have a USB port for loading music from a USB stick. So naturally I plugged one side of a USB A into the port and the other side into a power bank and it just straight up worked.

I prefer a hybrid approach. A document explaining some common things to do and generally the idea behind why the API is structured that way (shows me you actually thought about it, and makes it more logical to find different parts of it without necessarily looking it up), and then an API spec showing all the parameters.

From the stories I’ve heard from corporate software employees, this does sound like exactly the kind of thing you gotta do to show some manager the guy is buddy-buddy with that they’re actually not doing their job. And even then they didn’t listen.

We have to work under the assumption that most development is done by inexperienced or, to put it bluntly, bad programmers. I would MUCH rather have bad JS code than bad assembly. One may crash a single tab in my browser, the other may crash my entire computer.

For the uninitiated

Assuming you put everything important in home, that is…

Reminds me of my git commit messages!

It’s the quickest way to prove to yourself that you know what you’re doing… Most of the time, anyway…

I personally go for “wizzywig” but to each their own.

I mean, it’s just like collecting baseball cards. Just because I enjoy collecting them, doesn’t mean I inherently have to jerk off to them more than the next guy

Emacs really can do anything huh

Strangely enough, Lizard predates Rock significantly but took a long time to be considered competitively fair - around the time Spock was invented.

You can’t leave purgatory at will
