How do you stop websites from overwriting "open in a new tab" behaviour? For example https://www.catch.com.au/ will convert such commands to a "Open" command, causing middle mouse button clicks to open a link in the current tab... which is very frustrating.

Posted by Nicholas Steel By not visiting said website any more. Browsers can chase and lock down dumb behavior like this, but there’s always going to be something else websites can do to annoy you. If the website has to use behavior like that then they’re not trustworthy anyway. |

I hadn't heard what was going on with Diablo 3 for at least a few years, but I was on the winehq database and stumbled into their latest patch notes: https://us.diablo3.com/en/blog/22820656/season-16-the-season-of-grandeur-begins-118-12-18-2018 I'm seeing numbers like 60000% bonus damage for certain items. SMH. I guess they never figured out how to solve power creep. My hope for Diablo 4 to be good is gone. |

Posted by BearOso ^This^ If a website treats you like a delinquent, never go back there. I was recently reading some article at some well known USAian magazine site (can't remember if it was Time), where they pulled the same stunt, completely breaking navigation. I decided to never visit that place again. In other news, dumb design decisions are dumb, even two years later: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/18/12/26/219258/two-years-later-i-still-miss-the-headphone-port Those Appletards (and whatever it is their equivalent on Android) that claim that nobody needs the headphone jack should have their ears painfully removed. Possibly using chemicals. And I say this as a longstanding Motorola RAZR user (the FLIP dumbphone, not the much newer Android slab), where depending on dongles that were IMPOSSIBLE to acquire in my country just to enjoy my music wasn't my idea of "courage". And mind you, that was in freakin' 2007! But even back then Motorola finally listened to its users... late, but they did, and that's how we got the VE20, where you could PLAY and CHARGE, no dongle needed because the phone featured both a MicroUSB port AND a good ol' 3.5mm jack. And you better use it, because even when the MicroUSB jack does accept Motorola MicroUSB headsets and dongles, you can only get MONO on this phone that way! (the 3.5mm jack was true stereo). Oh, it also featured Bluetooth A2DP, but it was so unreliable you should pretend it isn't there. It seems tech has not evolved that much, almost 12 years later. But hey, Apple now does it, so it must be great, awesome, flawless, convenient and user friendly, right? Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

Posted by BearOsoSets have been like that since the expansion released afaik. 6 pieces of a armour "set" unlocks absurdly stupidly powerful buffs to specific skills... eliminating the concept of choosing your gear from a wide variety of pieces. If you want to make good progress you have to get a 6-piece gear set and build around the absurd buffs it unlocks, killing off build diversity. It's just... bad. It's also why the Path of Exile developers have said they'll never introduce Set Items to their game. I still remember the time they dramatically reduced the cooldowns for Izual's ice attacks back when they didn't have Aussie servers, the cool down was reduced to something like 30ms where as Aussies were playing the game with about 270ms latency. It basically meant you'd be chain frozen with no way to react nor counter it. As soon as you got frozen you just had to wait until you died. This was before the expansion pack released. World of Warcraft very recently got Aussie servers (yay!?), as in they went live in November 2018. I can finally do the PvE stuff with 30ms latency instead of over 200ms (if I bothered to renew my subscription)! No clue why this took so much longer than it did to get Aussie servers for Diablo III.

Also, your yearly reminder about the 35C3 This year console rape talk covers the always unloved PS Vita. I guess $ON¥ has already dispatched their Special Ops Army to jail those "evil piracy hackers"... no wait, they don't love the Vita that much for going that far this time.

First World Problems at its finest: https://news.slashdot.org/story/18/12/30/1644209/as-more-retailers-ban-paper-money-its-making-things-awkward-for-customers-without-plastic ...I don't get it, why the fuck we now get stores hellbent on REJECTING LEGAL TENDER CURRENCY?!?!?! As much as cash can be annoying at times, you can't simply go out and tell your customers "hi, your money is not welcome here, go away"! And before you come up at me with your "cashless utopia", here are several good reasons of why you must still take cash: - Cards/PoS terminals (the bank-issued ones) can (and WILL) fail for oh-so-many reasons (peak time congestion, faulty card readers, I forgot my PIN, etc.) This simply is the nature of everything that involves the use of electronic devices, which are designed to fail at the worst possible moments. - Banks can (and WILL) close your account at any moment without prior warning. This is not common, but it HAS happened to people I know (with no other recourse than "your $12K check is in the mail, we don't want your money with us anymore despite your account being old enough to vote and drink hard liquor") - Any kind of transactions that involve banks rely on telcos. The phone company is NOT your friend when you most need it (phone/DSL/cell dies -> can't make transfers/swipe cards/pay from your cellphone) - I'm not sure about 'murica, but in most of the civilized world (and some banana republic shitholes), you CAN get fined or even go to jail if you refuse to accept cash! - There are some legit reasons for avoiding the use of cards or other banking products: just ask to your granny/grandpa which no longer have the dexterity to keying in a PIN on a keypad, and prefers to spend half a day at their nearest bank branch every time they get paid their monthly pensions so they can buy food and meds. - Of course there is still a small number of people without access to the banking system. No accounts, no cards, nothing. - Your newfangled "apps" require a smartdevice of some sort, of which not everybody is willing to own one (with its consequent maintenance costs and service pains), plus they're usually even worse than good ol' chipcards (unless if you live in Japan, where they somehow managed to perfect this at their first try, almost two decades ago) No, "privacy/Big Brother is tracking muh transactions" is NOT a valid reason to refuse dealing with banks (as evil as they can be, but they're a necessary evil), so you can stop furiously masturbating at the idea of wearing your quad-layer lead-reinforced tinfoil bodysuit. I DO have real reasons to refuse living into the cashless utopia, as I've just described before. Once again, contrast with Soviet Venezuela, where we see the complete radical opposite of this, the "bankless utopia", where cash is king, queen, and everything in middle, but with an hyperinflationary twist: - Retailers can (and often WILL) charge different prices, depending if you pay with cash or cards (usually the latter is more expensive) - Going to the extreme, there are retailers that will refuse to take anything BUT CASH, for some or all of the products they sell. - Forget about paying with lower denomination bills, which lose their value even before leaving the printers! I've been BANNED from several retailers (and sometimes even been threatened with physical violence!) just because I tried to defend my right to pay with legal tender cash of low-denomination bills just because 1) they don't want to waste time counting banknotes even if they have one of those fancy bill counting machines, and 2) those pigfuckers have a side business selling money in the black market (because there are morons desperate enough to pay exorbitant premiums just because the Central Bank no longer delivers enough cash to the banks) - Having cash can be an advantage when our fragile payment networks break for whatever reason, particularly when your alternatives are to walk out with your hands empty, or to spend the next five hours standing at a checkout line waiting for the PoS terminals to come back online...
