I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn't enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn't care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they've continued to up the prices and I've continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.

One of them is no keyboard and mouse support on PC IIRC.

Google screwed up like a lot of companies do. YouTube was never profitable to run. They were just burning through cash to keep the lights on and become the number one video host online.

Internally there became a mandate to try and turn it into a profit making machine and the advertisers caught wind so they stepped in with their demands knowing that they were going to be the source of the profits. This is where the content restrictions started to happen as videos needed to become ad friendly.

I wish YouTube would have figured out another path to help provide the service and pay video creators. At least with Premium you don’t get ads and Sponsor Skip means you don’t see embedded VPN and game sponsors.

Is Floorp the only option for Firefox for removing horizontal tabs? I like the idea of vertical tabs, but only if I can get rid of the horizontal bar and free up that extra screen space.

It's already dead, please leave the corpse alone.

It is kinda sad given the legacy of the show, it almost made it to 30 and was the place of so many big industry moments (good and bad). Things have become more spread out now across GamesCom, PAXs, TGS, GDC, Develop and the many I'm forgetting.

I can get the argument that we really don't need much of an in-person event given that stuff can be streamed instantly around the world now, we don't need to rely on people setting up cameras in front of TVs to show off noisy gameplay footage, but the fact that so many others shows still exist proves that there is a want for in-person events.

E3's death kinda came about because it got chipped away from all sides. There were better places for industry deal making to be done (GDC), Big publishers peeled off to do their own thing, and the expensive mark up that hit the other companies no longer appealed as they could get what they needed from PAX and GamesCom.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date

That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.

The only genres I didn't see were romcom and court room drama, though maybe I just missed those with all the quick cuts.

I want to run videos on a second screen, but occasionally I need to check on a document or webpage so I'd like to quickly ALT+TAB to bring up the browser window and have it sit on top of the video screen, then I can minimize the browser once I'm done and the video is still there playing. (I'm doing this right now in reply to your message).

Think of it as an animated/audio desktop background.

I've found a workaround for now using Enhancer for Youtube's pop-out player.

I cancelled my sub after I kept getting bombarded by some Michelle Obama podcast/book thing. Popped up so many times over the course of a week that I just yolo'd out and went with Youtube Premium (which gives Youtube Music as part of the deal).

As the title says, I want to use picture in picture mode but allow other windows to appear on top. I think this used to be a toggle option, but now I don't see it.

I've had a hunt in about:config, but nothing I can see will set it.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos "digging" into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

No idea what happened to his NFT grift that banked him over $40M. But on to the next one I guess.

I'd recommend watching the video so you can get Tim's own take on this, emotions and all.

Another story of investing and growing too much during the covid boom, but also coming to face the harsh reality of how bloated the mobile space is.

They were asking for this. I can't only presume the pitch for this game was "Bloodborne 2 without the IP", and to be fair I can see why it landed. Fromsoft left a hole and they're looking to fill it.

One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I'm looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).

I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?
