Well, it isn't the full original intent. As always, events conspired to sabotage me, but I'll make do.

Man, all you noobs here don't remember life before Winamp. I remember when themes were a frippery that just wasted memory and disk space and weren't fit for anything useful.

In fairness, they also didn't redesign the entire interface every six months.
Except the MS Office team. They changed everything every time anyone turned around.

Winamp 3 had the best of intentions. It was a mjor step forward technically speaking, but this advance came with a new skin format and plugin API.

They underestimated how invested in the existing skin/plugin format their users were. I believe Winamp 5(3+2) actually emulated the old theming and plugin interfaces to achieve compatibility, which was no small feat.


Lesson learned: make damn sure you are comfortable keeping this API for twenty years before you release it to the public. Unless you're on the GTK team.

In the same way that we have a thread to talk about giveaways and sales, I thought maybe we could have a thread about donation drives, patreons, and other noble causes people might like to support.

Get out of here, you commie!


Please try to keep things somewhat in the bailiwick of this forum's usual content: emulation and preservation yes, anime nerdery maybe, a GoFundMe for veterinary bills probably not, unless it's like CaptainJistuce's dog.

I'll keep the offer in mind if we ever have to use the veterinary ER again.

Why can programs now define what opens a file with a particular extension instead of Windows File Association mechanics handling it?

Browsers have always used server-presented MIME types instead of *.3 file extensions. You can probably blame Unix.

The last and first controversy of the year: Mozilla now tries to shove ads down your throat, they call it "an experiment HONEST!":

https://news.slashdot.org/story/18/12/31/2219257/mozilla-says-ad-on-firefoxs-new-tab-page-was-just-another-experiment

Furious nerds are threatening to switch browsers... but to what browser?!
Man, I remember when we gave Opera shit for having embedded ads.

I'd say it has all been leading up to that, but I'd be lying.



It's all been leading up to this.

It is definitely a diffrent world than it was in 98. And we've been pissed about the DMCA since it was signed, so... definitely would've seen an imperial butt-ton of pushback.

I noticed that. Turned it to max, and couldn't actually get enough speed to jump the crater in stage 1.

Well, otherwise your resolution would determine what times you could get.

Other way around. Behavior changes with frame rate.

Did it whip the llama's ass in your part of the world too?
