An just 30-something Software Dev that enjoys gaming, woodworking, electronics and plenty of other hobbies. Too many hobbies.

Aren’t you thinking about them more by having to explicitly think of replacing the a with an asterisk when you want to refer to them?

The cult might fracture a bit though which is something we could hope for.

Edge was fine, i use it at work to further separate personal use from work use further. It’s vertical tabs are top tier and being able to have the dev tools have vertical tabs is also a massive plots for productivity. However the latter is getting removed for seemingly no reason and once that’s gone there’s no boon to using edge anymore and I’ll just use a separate Firefox profile or use some chromium browser for work.

This is why I like Vice City Stories. It implements some things from SA but keeps the vice city aesthetics intact.
My top 5 would probably be:
San Andreas
IV
Vice City Stories

It’s fucking awful isn’t it. Summer day soon when i can be arsed I’ll have to give one of the paid search engines a go.
I’m currently on qwant but I’ve already noticed a degradation in its results since i started using it at the start of the year.

I like to download the memes of production

Yes, they just don’t release every game they work on, or sit on them for longer than most because their finances are no longer dependent on the games they make themselves

Not disagreeing with you there

GitHub Copilot performs PR reviews now doesn’t it
Falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you have to give up for good, you can always start again. I believe in you. It should be more about overall accumulation rather than the neverending streak. You’re allowed to be fallible if you can course correct, no one will look down upon you less.

If you want to get technical yeah I guess it wouldn’t be independent because it wasn’t independently funded.

Personal i think the criteria for no longer being an indie dev is if the company is funded by a publisher or the company itself has been or has the capacity to be a publisher themselves

I thought they had a publisher

You’ll be surprised how much both tobacco and cannabis smoke lingers on clothes and breath. As a non smoker I’d be able to tell you smoked earlier in the day. The difference is night and day between smelling the air around a smoker and a non smoker. Sorry to let you know.

They’d be able to tell because you’d stink too
I agree, it’s just nice that they chose a platform that others can use what they’ve implemented whilst they’re still around and if they somehow go tits up on Sunday.
Their decision to do it open source is the nice guy side but you are right they have ulterior motives that just make perfect business sense rather than it just them being “nice”.
That’s why i said a virtual monopoly not an actual one. Their prevalence in the industry among pc gamers makes them seem like a monopoly even though there are choices. The rest of my comment also explains why people choose them over other options so I don’t know what your trying to get at…
It’s developers tools, as is is better than chromes.
And like i said in my original comment it’s vertical tabs are one of the best implementations out there at the moment.
It has sensible tab folder features which I usually don’t use in other browsers but in edge they’re great.
It also has what they call workspaces that keeps the exact state of your tabs across signed in instances if the browser irregardless of device (it even syncs in real-time - which has helped me in times at work when i can remote into multiple different devices on our network).
Granted i can understand on personal devices the signed in workspaces may sound awful to most but on a device where i already have to be signed in to a Microsoft account for work anyway, it’s a moot point for me. My work laptop is the only windows device i have in the house if that’s worth any merit. Windows is awful, getting worse by the way and edge will soon be following suit so even though I’m praising it in its current state, I can’t see me continuing to do so for much longer.
