Chess hasn’t been updated in almost 200 years and it’s obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.
I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like “castling” and “en passant” instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I’ve been complaining for years about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The ‘clipping-through-pieces’ bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.
Don’t support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.
@fesshole yeah, you show this kids. How dare they be teenagers in public!
@q I did this a while ago and concluded the “mixed” setting is the only one that needed to exist.
@robpike I eventually cracked, bought a selection of fully specced good quality cables, then chucked all the other ones. USB-C is so much better when you can rely on any cable you pick up doing whatever you need it to.
@PeteMayo @SecurityWriter @tychotithonus @dennisfaucher you may want to note that both are Olympic athletes, amongst the best in the world at what they do.
@an0key @CatherineFlick @hugh I got a WhatsApp message rather than an SMS from a taxi company the other day.
I really dislike the way all video platforms have standardised on putting the option to continue watching the last thing you watched after three rows of recommendations. More actively user hostile design.
For 11pm on a Tuesday night there’s a surprising number of people out who are heroically drunk.
Definitely didn’t see this coming when they added an AI button to their mice.

@james I’ve consulted the administrator of my instance and they are in fact taking donations.
(It’s me, I’m the admin, and also the only user)
I broke the cardinal rule of no phone in bed. “Quickly” picked it up to do something and now it’s two hours later and instead of reading a book I’ve read the internet. This is why my phone charger lives at the other side of the room.
Every now and then I remember the Paris Olympic village features beds designed to make it difficult for the athletes to have sex with each other and chuckle at the naivety of it.
@nirak @solderandchaos this is why I’ll use Apple in-app payments whenever possible, which can be immediately cancelled and always remain valid for the rest of the period you paid for.
Emailed magic links can be a great way to deal with authentication but please don’t make them single use, put a time limit on them instead. There’s one service I use which has single use tokens, which means that I’ll request a link, and then I can only use the service within the GMail app on my phone because any interaction with the link will cause it to be loaded.
@blogdiva @CatherineFlick I also missed this bit and now feel I’m going to have to go back and watch the whole show from the beginning.
