Why does Reddit do this? I get that the OP probably shouldn't have said "fucking" but if you're gonna be the first result on Google be useful, I'm coming here for help, and the moderator removed the post the stupid prick...

Anyway, I'm not the only one who doesn't like it this is my result searching "firefox 157 make ui look like old ui"

Google showing Reddit as first result with caption "New UI looks fucking terrible, how do we go about reverting it"

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is a game that is literally installed on my computer right now and that I played only a few months back, I'll fire it up in a second just to see if there's any additional fuckery to be sorted out.

The Call of Duty®: Black Ops III page ready to be played in my steam client, With a last play date of July 14, 2026.

My government doesn't consist of bright people (I get that), this is probably just as frustrating for valve as it is for the majority of the player base, /

Steam store page in a web browser advising the following product Call of Duty®: Black Ops III, is now age restricted material, the text on the page reads: "Valve is required by the Age-Restricted Material App Distribution Services Code to verify that you are 18 or older before accessing mature content. If you wish to do so, please add a valid Australian credit card to your account and afterwards update the Mature Content Preferences."

With a button below that saying "Add a credit card to this account".

Also, I wanted to post and laugh at this text here "To launch on the EA app download the game through Steam." It would be preferable if I could remove the EA app from the equation, but this is the compromise.

Steam game library that unfortunately has to use the EA app to launch certain titles, hovering over games that were purchased on steam displays the text "To launch on the EA app download the game through Steam."

When I got my 2080 TI GPU back in 2020? It came with a copy of Anthem, among other games, never actually got around to playing it, now I can't lol. I don't tend to buy live service games, and this is always a good reminder why.

The EA play client delivering the bad news that the game anthem has been removed from my library, dialogue box with text saying "Anthem is no longer downloadable or playable through the EA app."

Spotify was an *OK* service with its quirks (I won't say it was ever great, but it was OK at best), that was until the app stop working a few minutes ago, and I could not login to it anymore, Now I just miss the days of owning music on my PC, I guess I'll just WMP for a while... 🤷‍♂️ RIP Spotify.

So, it turns out this event was TGX (www.thegameexpo.com), not quite fully indie as I was expecting, but still quite new and niche and fun! - and I got to play a bunch of upcoming titles and meet some game devs...

Thank you daddy Spotify for doing what Windows Media Player could do back in 2008 🙏 (Note, only available to premium members, the standard shuffle that is...)

Face palming over this line, turns out Xcode puts debug binaries (dot exe's) in a weird directory, I suppose a symlink would have fixed it, but couldn't decipher why easy code didn't work, until I changed it to this abomination...

Here is an odd thing I found for copilot O365, it seems adding a simple FFS to the end of an email prevents copilot from generating summaries, FFS stands for file forwarding services in this context. Add an FFS address if you don't want your emails summer-isable by LLMs. 👍
