age verification but it's just a dialog box that asks "are you old" and the answers are "yes" and "maybe later"

Infocom's Cornerstone and the mu machine that would have brought it to every platform of the '80s are not so lost anymore... https://blog.zarfhome.com/2026/04/cornerstone-and-the-mu-machine

Dear OS providers: please for the love of god stop hiding your restart option. You are not perfect. Sometimes you need to reboot the freaking device. And now that everyone's assigned "long hold on power" to AI, it becomes nigh impossible to figure out how to do a restart. (Looking at you Android)

Literally spent 15 minutes trying to restart the wife's tablet. Never did find a way to do it. Instead found the option to disassociate AI from the power button so we could get access to the traditional power options it used to bring up. This shouldn't be so hard.

It's like SOPA all over again...but worser!

Well this is truly bad. US national level OS-level age verification bill. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/all-info The text of it isn't out yet. EDIT: Well the text is now out and it's as bad as you could imagine. It's not even just that you need to verify your age to access a website... operating systems must verify your age to let you *use a computer at all* EDIT EDIT: Thanks to @[email protected] for pointing out that it also holds responsible anyone who has any software shipped on the operating system of a computer, meaning FOSS developers eveywhere

After hours of grinding - including combat against multiple groups of enemy pirates who could each kill me in two hits - I got far enough to finally build my own ship, took on an enemy and boarded their vessel... then died & respawned on a beach miles away while the battle was still going.

This article sums up most of the problems I had with Windrose when I played it during Steam Next Fest. It looks like the author quit earlier than I did, though, and clearly they were happier for it.

After 4 hours of pirate survival in Windrose, I'm reinstalling Sea of Thieves

Pirates? Great. Survival? Ehhhh.
