Top Story
- Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies. (The Verge)
That's a lot. That's a lot of a lot.
Also, with Henya pushing the crabs and Pina Pengin naturally enough backing the penguins, the Minecraft userbase voted for the armadillo to be the next animal added to the game.
Seriously, what are they going to do? There aren't any 18 wheelers for them to run under.
Tech News
- With Microsoft now the owner of Activision (as well as Minecraft) (although the US government is still fighting that despite the deal having gone through) (Activision, not Minecraft) what is going to happen to the old Infocom games? (Zarf)
Yes, Activision has been around that long.
- Why is the frontend stack so complicated. (Matt Rickard)
By "frontend stack" he means the user side of web development, and the reason it's so complicated is that JavaScript is kind of bad and server-side JavaScript is cancer, and yet it's used everywhere.
There is no solution except fire.
- The Asus Expertcenter PN64-E1 is perfectly adequate. (Serve the Home)
No stand-out qualities. No notable weaknesses.
Oh, it's a NUC. A desktop mini-PC. Intel.
- Plant-based cheese. (Ars Technica)
I like my plant-based cheese just like my plant-based steak: Thoroughly cowed.

I saw a story that someone posted a petition for Microsoft to implement all three animals because the forced choice was "tearing the community apart".

Being MS, they should have announced they're adding every animal ever created, plus a few that evolved naturally, and set a launch date of November, six years ago, and then given everybody the armadillo as a stop gap nine years late, and requiring a 30GB patch. An armadillo with a "Start" button.

I don't know this for a fact, it's just conjecture, but I think that they are deliberately minimizing how much they add to the game to let the modders do their thing.
Also, the create mod is awesome. Potato cannons!

Dear Pixy
Ace of spades website hates the Brave browser on iOS. It used to be just my old iPhone and old iPad, but my new 14 is starting to have a hard time loading.
Just thought you might like to know. As though you dont have enough to deal with. But as a supporter of Brave, I thought you should know.
