  • I’m with you. That arcade game is the reason why I spent the time to discover MAME many years ago.

  • Pretty close to the scene in The Changeling (1980)

  • 3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitors, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

    This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

    Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

    I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.

  • There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.

  • Keepa is better, and depending on whether you’re conspiratorial, not compromised as 3Camels was accused of some years ago.

  • Ah yes, Lenny Kilmister, the lesser known but very quotable brother of Lemmy Kilmister.

  • “a stainless… steel… WOK.”

    I’m going to need a supercut of this guy saying “WOK”.

  • That could be part of the calculation.

    The irony of this is that propping up the Liberals in the previous term was supposed to pull the focus Left to progressive policies and bring legitimacy to the NDP as a party that is able to govern.

    They succeeded on the first but have apparently failed on the second to the point where the Liberals have gotten all the credit (or blame, depending on your point of view).

    Now we’re all set to see the same movie in this term.

    It might not be clear on what are Carney’s intentions vs the backroom bargains that will be required for the NDP support this time around. But if he surrounds himself with the old Liberal guard as Trudeau did, I would encourage everyone to remember that the Liberal party has a very long history of saying one thing and doing another and that other thing isn’t always in the collective best interests of Canadians. This is why I don’t mind the dependency on the NDP.

  • Their email and even their “Plex: Free vs Paid” page is confusing. However, the “Requirements for Remote Playback of Personal Media“ is more clear.

    I do not have a Plex Pass, but I stream remotely from a Plex Media Server

    To stream video remotely from a Plex Media Server, you will need either a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.

  • Have any Simple Tab Group users tried out Mozilla’s very overdue revisit to this functionality?

    I’m interested in pros and cons before switching over.

  • For Canadians who may be concerned about data privacy, especially US-based companies that may be subject to giving access to the US government under the US Patriot Act and/or Cloud Act, it might be worth the time to write some politicians for action.

    There’s PIPEDA for federal level, as mentioned in the article, and there’s municipal level too. Most major cities have by-laws that govern Vehicles-for-Hire.

    I’m not sure what they can do about this issue, but it’s worth raising the concern with your councillor in addition to your MP.

  • A three-ply layered joke. Well done!

  • I always envisioned it was a speck of dust on the floor somewhere.

  • I love a good minimalism joke.

    Reminds me of this short story from the early days of the internet.

    Or maybe “blog post”, before we even called them that.

  • Finger in your ear and then hold it out for him to smell.

  • No, it is not.

  • Yes! And I recommend Unread (iOS/macOS + Local/Cloud service)
