Pop Team Epic panel: character nodding while saying "Aah, so it's like that, huh. I understand everything now." She has an arrow pointing at her with the text "Doesn't get it at all"

That's right. It's about far more than uploading the law www.vancouverisawesome.com/sponsored/th...

The path to becoming a police officer in Vancouver is changing
Modern policing in Vancouver is about far more than uploading the law.

Here's what the Vancouver Police Department looks for in new recruits and why people from diverse backgrounds are thriving in the profession

I still can’t get over Dokonoko sending you a push notification when a pet you follow has a birthday. It’s perfect. Everyone say happy birthday Fuku

Push notification from Dokonoko:

Today is the birthday of the ふく(福) you are following

What on earth is the difference between “got it" and "dismiss" meant to be in this popup

Dialogue box containing the text:

New timestamp fields available

You can now add Created, Closed, and Updated timestamp fields to your project to track when issues and pull requests were created, closed, or last updated.

With two buttons: "Got it" and "Dismiss". "Got it" is in a button with a border and "Dismiss" is just text.

Absolutely bizarre comment. Maybe they shouldn't have been collecting them all then?? arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

In recent years, Sharma writes that Xbox has “learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio” and that “it is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio.”

I love how unusable the top bar has gotten on mobile GitHub. Trying to cram just a little too many features in one place.

Did they take this old 3D render and get AI to turn it into an "illustration"...?

According to a GOG representative, they sent a different version of the newsletter to German customers: www.reddit.com/r/gog/commen...

I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.

Not to oversell it or anything but this is probably one of the most important shmups in years. It's got some very radical ideas about game structure, one of the few shmups I've seen do a meta-game progression system really well. You gotta try this once it's out. Here's the English trailer.

ALSO also, check out this cover. This is what attracted me to the CD in the first place when I didn't know what was on it. Very attractive style. cdrom.ca/games/2026/0...

They've also got previews of a few other BBSs that were in the region, which is a really cool look at what kinds of collaboration and communication the different BBSs in the area had with each other. Plus this SimNaniwa map is *killer*. Really great 90s UI work and cute design.

BTW take a peek at this logo - isn't this great? I love this slogan.

Screenshot of the dial-in UI for FirstClass. It features the XD FirstClass Network slogan - XD means Transmit Data, Access Data, Transform Data, Cross Data and YOU&I and so on...

The CD itself doubles as a techno album with music by some of the posters, and I embedded a playlist with a bunch of music off the CD for you to listen to while you read.

One of my fave things on Wikipedia is going onto the talk pages for mildly controversial subjects and seeing what kinds of arguments you run into. en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...

Topic: Not an ingrediens

Pizza dough is not 1 ingredience. It's a collection of ingredience.

It would not be helpful in the context of this article about a specific type of pizza to list of individual components of pizza dough, eg flour water yeast salt or whatever. What the reader needs to know is what makes this distinctive from otehr pizzas.

So write "contains" instead of "ingredients" or write the ingredients of the pizza dough in it's own paragraf under the "ingredients".

No.

Then delete the whole wikipedia page about the Hawaiian pizza.

Oh yes for those following along with my CD mail saga they did end up arriving. I’m sure you were all burning to know
