Maybe they were trying to make a pun on "Via Voice", the cursed IBM STT from the 90s?

do not anthropomorphize the Sam Mower...

Firefox has had support for h265 for a few months by now, they finally relented.

Back in the 90s doing substring match was probably deemed way too expensive and so just calling the executable name directly was as optimized as it got... and it's beautiful :)

I've been using it for a long time and I can't use a new computer or a work computer without it for long before I feel like my eyes are going bad. I specially like the bold version, seems to do well with my astigmatism, specially in reverse video/"dark mode".

I never knew there was a TTF variant, might be a good fit on software that stubbornly blurs it when rendering in hi-dpi.

Might as well have asked a bottomless pit to do the same and get a better result from all the reverberations inside your empty head.

I find it fascinating that it turns into a "descent like" (6dof fps) when using the ability to "peek" the 4th dimension.

The perspective shifts so that the up-down direction becomes the hidden dimension. So the ceiling and floor disappear (and you have trouble avoiding lava) and you only see the walls of the space.

Does that means that every n64 game that uses fog (which I guess is.. most of them?) are relying on an almost fully broken feature? Or was there alternatives that didn't rely on the fixed function hardware?

Yeah, afaik we all faked it in different ways or decided the almost working setting was good enough.

Having a key reserved for OS level actions means you can create your own shortcuts and macros based on it without fear of it conflicting with each app shortcuts.

Since operating systems also don't change often nowadays there is also seldomly any conflicts when a new system shortcut is added.

I also love good old Meta + left click/right click drag for moving and resizing windows in linux.

There is virtually no consequences or accountability when big-tech companies share private data. For crying out loud, they were caught red handed sharing private data from their EU endeavors.

If even sovereign states with clear laws forbidding such behavior can't keep those companies in check, no enterprise/b2b can.
