I'm stumped....I tried to upload a zip file on dropbox as per usual this morning only for my day to turn completely wasted because there's possibly some obscure issue with my onboard Intel net card driver(I219-V) and Dropbox which sort of bricks the dr. runtime.

Game physics people: is it a thing that the various algorithms can give you either a distance (which may be petentration distance) or a boolean for separation, but not both? Is this some fundamental uncertainty?

I have to say Syberia Remastered looks very good. Thought they'd mess it up, especially because I loved the 2D art of the original. More of a nitpick, but for a world after its prime, chasing ghosts in cold places with stone and metal, lighting shows warmth.

Google's down it seems in the Balkans. I don't think it's ever happened before. At least I don't recall any time in the past 20y.

Lately I've found that the USB removal on the Windows tray fails a lot, but weirdly calling Remove from the "Bluetooth & devices" settings page, does not. What's that about? Why is the one being used most of the time faulty and not fixed already or replaced by the latter?

I'd make this a poll, but bsky still doesn't have one.

QUESTION....How many who use .gitattributes also know of `git check-attr`?

Per peeve: parking with lines and everything and some people park however. Out of bounds and sometimes wasting an extra space too.

Considering Sequoia is behind Unity and their recent install fee fiasco and practically part of BoD in Unity with all their bright decisions in acquisitions etc. This is just the cherry on top.

As apps go, MS Store is rather bad. Been trying some time now to cancel queued updates, but they're somehow blocked and neither stop button nor ***->Cancel works. You'd expect cancellation to be almost instantaneous. And it's been a while now that updates or downloads in general are slow.

Seriously, this year is WILD for indie releases in general
Anyone who laments that "nobody" or "hardly anyone" is making adventure games anymore should be shown this image immediately.

Apparently Google maps doesn’t know how street addresses work. It will happily map addresses on the wrong block of the wrong street or in the wrong city. These errors have real-world consequences for the businesses affected
