I see a bunch of people talking about testing web sites on less-than-ideal networks. If you're developing/testing on macOS and don't want to take a trip to Antarctica to test, download, "Additional Tools for Xcode..." from the Apple developer site, which contains the Network Link Conditioner pref pane. This will allow you to simulate poor network conditions (like slow, and/or lossy). Don't get caught by surprise: test your sites!

@marczak such a useful tool. also exists on iOS under Settings > Developer > Network Link Conditioner

@marczak I've long used this tool but wish it could be targeted. i.e. degrade the experience only in the iOS simulate or in Safari or in (App to be tested here). In the old days we'd often have to remind students to turn it off because they slowed everything down. Today it means I can't demo it while teaching over Zoom as everything is impacted.

Putting speakers on our pocket computers was a mistake.

Honestly, Retroarch is all I’ve ever wanted on iOS. https://www.threads.net/

@marczak indeed. tvOS version needs a bit of work, but it’s awesome just to have it!

I suspect someone in my timeline will know: what’s the state of fan/community-based UO shards and clients? (The two that’d I’ve tried to use seem inoperable, so, wondering if there’s a good, active one that someone would recommend.)

Maybe the writing was on the wall, but it’s still the end of an era:

@marczak Yeah - vegan cheese is pretty good now. I make a filled crust pizza that is really great.

I've also found that vegan mayo, cream cheese, and sour cream are almost indistinguishable from the dairy ones.

@dxzdb oh, yeah - huge strides. For me, I’m not even really interested in replicating meat or most of this stuff anyway: I just want good-tasting, cruelty-free food.

This is pretty wild:

I love seeing the life and cool things people continue to do with older systems. Longevity in tech is the best.

After 14 months of weekly(-ish), hour-long play, my friend and I finished Ultima IV again, after having played through it in the 80’s.

What a lesson in game design, and how these types of games have changed. Some incredibly deep content for a product created in 1985.

We played through on an original C64 with an Ultimate II cart for the disk emulation.

@magervalp Right: not in the Abyss. If we wiped, I’d have to start at the entrance again.

Game controllers, please: sticks at the same height on each side. (I don’t understand the Xbox style of mismatched sticks.)

@marczak all controllers need swappable button and stick modules. with options that are different orientations.
