One way I've "reset" my subscriptions is by invalidating the credit card they're on so most of them just stop billing. YMMV it's a bit of a blunt tool and not always foolproof, but it's worked for me before.

I'm biased towards CLI and reign of LLMs means we're all Unix/text (for) now. So IMO there are many reasons, but chiefly amongst them is UI/HCI design leader Apple throwing out their/industry's interaction design best practices over the last 10+ years.

Embracing constraints and "how it works" used to be at the core of their software ethos.

Are people on the streets or is this some Franco-Pavlovian reflex kicking in?

Net neutrality used to be a pillar of the EU internet. 2026; the mind fucking boggles.

As a parent: the hard-won lesson is that most of this threat surface shrinks when you're genuinely present (listen/talk/educate).

New comment by musha68k in "Super Mario 64 for the PS1"

musha68k — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:15:27 +0000

Amazing feat. I was a very happy owner of both consoles back in the day, and this port clearly shows how much the N64 brought that "SGI at home" feel in mid‑1996; at least until Voodoo 1 / QuakeGL, maybe even up to Unreal (Glide) or Sonic Adventure on DC?

I still remember gasping when I first saw the basically unattainable (for me) Japanese‑import N64 running Mario 64.

Such an interesting and varied gaming landscape back then; for example, the Wipeout experience on PSX was beyond the N64 port in that particular niche, for its own set of reasons.

New comment by musha68k in "Half of America's Voting Machines Are Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch"

musha68k — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 21:17:14 +0000

Aside from cryptographically sound and open source end to end verifiable options there is one simple alternative still used in many other countries and jurisdictions:

1. voters mark paper ballots 2. observers from all parties watch the counting 3. results are tallied publicly

Yes, this is very much feasible; and no, this is not the right domain to be ingeniously efficient and cost sensitive. US being the richest country in the world or some such, etc..
