A few years back Audacity got acquired by a commercial entity. They then proceeded to cause some controversy regarding user privacy.

I think they walked back some of them, and changed the installer to allow disabling the data collection; but by that time, a few forks have started popping up. Tenacity seems to be what many people eventually settle on.

I still bring Trine up everytime the topic of platformers come up.

I can't stand platformers. I don't think I've played any of them for more than half an hour before moving on. Yes, that includes Mario, since it's first incarnation (sigh, I'm old).

Yet Trine hooked me in the first five minutes. The puzzles and mechanics were so much fun. The art style was also beautiful and vibrant. It is the only game in the genre that I have ever finished.

I reckon when I retire one day, I might get the whole series, and finally play them all.

Sigh.. I get my wholegrain pre-packaged. I guess I'll die.

This is a very thoughtful question that took me back to the time we were new parents.

Discussing this with my partner to see if there were dishes that we thought befit the hot Australian summer when we had the baby.. And we honestly couldn't think of any!

Everything was a blur; opening the fridge and finding something—anything—to eat was already the best feeling in the world.

We were quite lucky to have a multicultural circle of friends/family. We think that variety is probably more important than what the food actually were. If all we had was lasagna, we would eat it every day for a week. But choosing between fried rice, chilli con carne, pasta, or curry from the fridge/freezer was one of the few highlights of our day.

If you're part of a group of friends, you can discuss among yourselves the different things you could bring. If not, imagine you just had the most exhausting day of your life. What do you wish you would find in your fridge right about now?

We in the upside down land will be checking which way the toilet flushes if Biden is elected, just to make sure.

My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. "it is so because we say it is".

Oof. I've got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

The system would also work in the UK the past few years.
