This is impressive but I don't get it. All that work and you have a game written in JS of all things. Why not write it in a desktop language und port it to JS. Now this will always need a browser to run, feels like a waste of time to me.
This still of programming does not adhere to MVC though, you can't ever swap out the frontend because it's basically merged to the backend and I suspect complex to debug simmilar to JSF.
I miss these kind of applications. Nowadays everything is flat tons of wasted space, unresponsive and eats 300mb ram because it runs on electron. Just compare windows 11 task manager to windows 2000 task manager.
Apparently in germany they caught a pedo like that. Watching certain nodes and the sizes of files that are sent between them to identify the admin of a pedophile image sharing forum. Took them 1 1/2 years to identify the specific person, but they got him.
Considering this I would imagine it's pretty safe for the average user since they have to specifically target you for a long time, however it seems like with enough effort it's possible to identify someone even without Clearnet slip-ups like it was the case with Silkroad.
Once they have your address they will just storm your house and catch you on the computer, then you are done for.
I am on the fence with this, maybe there should be research to create safer alternatives to the illegal recreational drugs. They are trying to make amphetamines and opioids that are safer and not as recreational for medical purposes. Why not make it safe and try to keep the recreational aspect of it. I am sure this can't ever be achieved 100%, but lots of people would probably rather buy some pure milder stimulant instead of random powder from a street dealer. Same with cannabis, the THC content on legal plants should have a limit on the THC content.
For the psychedelics this is very true, I enjoy mostly low doses. But I am not so sure about the MDMA. If I didn't have enough to get "over the hill" it always felt it's about to come on now but it never does it's just a very dissapointing limbo state. Even worse, redosing after that won't get you the full effect either for that night (maybe because some serotonin was already depleted at that point).
That might be, but then don't wonder if people look at you strange if you tell them you got burnout from a job where you never met any colleagues and didn't get paid either.
I disagree. I loved that there were no loading times. I always thought PS1 games felt cheap and slow compared to N64 games. Nobody really used the CD space for game content, they just filled it up with ugly prerendered cutscenes, which I didnt care about.
Going by how long ReactOS is developed and how unuseable it still is I wonder if the time would haven been better spent decompiling windows 2000 and structuring the code. Once that is done you have a solid base to modify and modernize the OS however you want.
Honestly the only thing extasy did for me was let me rave for hours to electronic music at clubs. It also opened the door for other chemical drugs which led to benders and hangovers that were so bad people who only drink alcohol have no idea are even possible.
Granted, I never did it in a quiet "therapeutic" environment, I would have thought of it as a waste because I considered the music and dancing an integral part of the experience, it's a pretty recreational and hedonistic substance after all.
Another big reason is that the limitations actually make you more creative.
I learned producing EDM in the FL Studio era and in a sense it's a godsend you don't have to buy all that expensive hardware. On the other hand modern DAWs give you so much freedom its somewhat exhausting. The entry level to produce technical genres like DnB are extremely high nowadays.
I also use Bitwig. I switched from Ableton because it was cheaper. It's objectively a better DAW from a technical standpoint.
But I have to say the sounds and plugins it comes with are not on par with ableton, some presets really have me scratching my head and it took forever until they gave us a decent convolution reverb. For the longest time I was not able to get a simple sine-wave out of the synthesizers it comes with (wtf?).
It's also worth mentioning that back in the days this DAW was promoted with a feature that lets you collaborate with others over the network, now 10 years later there is no more mention of this feature and I think most forgot it was even planned. Recently they tried to sell you stock-plugins for a premium but back-pedaled quickly. That is just ridicoulous after I sunk hundreds of dollars in their update plans.
