Revanced still works. If yours stopped working, download the latest patches and make an updated .apk.

So after removing the categories that I disagree with (love for yourself is not the same emotion as romantic love for another person, songs about how you’re glad you broke up are clearly about the emotions that replaced romantic love, and songs about lust may be about someone you also romantically love, but love and lust are different emotions) I can conclude that love songs are, in fact, declining in popularity, but also still make up a large percentage of popular songs.

Sonic Roboblast 2 Kart and its successor Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers are open source, and pretty fun! The exact degree to which they’re free-as-in-libre depends somewhat on Sega’s policy of turning a blind eye to fan games, so although GPL-2.0 permits commercial use I wouldn’t recommend testing it.

There is a lively modding scene (or there was for SRB2K last time I was playing it; I haven’t played RR yet). Ring Racers has single-player content if that’s what you’re looking for, I hear it’s quite challenging.

In Oldschool Runescape it’s pretty common to see characters that are just blatantly bots. If they had plausible usernames and picked a random appearance it wouldn’t even be that obvious, because it’s a whole game about repetitive actions, but a lot of them have the default appearance and gibberish names.

Botting is sort of a different problem because it’s often related to real-money trading, so there’s a more obvious incentive to cheat: running bots generates gold that can be sold for cash.

In addition to that, many people run bots as a sort of side hustle, either to fund their main or just to fund more bots. And I suspect many people use scripts to automate tedious tasks on their main accounts as well, although that would be hard to notice unless you directly interacted with them while they were AFK.

Okay the image is messy but the snake coiling around the scales is actually a sick concept.

Is that bad? I love almond milk but I feel like it deserves its own word. :P

I’m on board with this, but I may be biased because I also don’t like using Discord for anything else. Every time someone sends me a Discord invite I feel a little defeated, because it is usually after I have agreed to participate in something.

I always get this backwards ^^;;

I count 7 at least.

Were 11% of people in 2017 really out there dating their coworkers? Isn’t that hella awkward? What are you going to do if you have a messy breakup and you still have to see each other every day?

I used the official app, but I didn’t have to wait to experience a disruption to know that this was the last straw. I switched to Lemmy just prior to the protest and never looked back. Regardless of the actual dispute, I’m not going to use a site run by someone who so obviously thinks as little of their users as spez does. Even I have more self-respect than that!

This is just not actually true, though? I do remember my past coworkers and who was working late and checking emails on weekends. I’m not saying they should have been, but I for sure remember them doing it.

The skull emoji represents laughter, not shock, though. It’s more like “This guy is serious? Oh my god, that’s hilarious!”

I didn’t originally think that reddit shouldn’t charge at all for API access, but after spez’s recent interviews I wouldn’t go back to the site without a promise that API access will be free forever. Is that reasonable? No, but fuck spez.

I find it strange that The Verge didn’t push back on Rathschmidt’s statement about “incorrectly marking a community as NSFW.” r/mildlyinteresting polled a rule change that allowed NSFW content to be posted to the sub; following the change, it would be incorrect not to mark the sub as NSFW.
