Everything below the separator bar is a mirror of the "Find Alternatives for Ourselves Megathread: Third Strike" post by bettervanilla on the r/RedditAlternatives subreddit, found here.

It was last updated on 2023, Aug 6 at or around 1325 EDT. It may or may not get updates going forward, depending on how much free time I have (e.g. don't expect me to update it but I might if I have time). Also, if bettervanilla decides to move his post off of reddit, I plan to update this page to redirect to the new location.

Also found one more really nice list mentioned on the r/linuxmasterrace sub while trying to find where they are migrating to. Thanks to /u/ball_soup for sharing!

Fixes Magic Arena's broken full screen implementation on macOS
# this forces Arena into full screen mode on startup, set back to 3 to reset
# note that if you go into the Arena "Graphics" preference panel, it will reset all of these
# and you will need to run these commands again
defaults write com.wizards.mtga "Screenmanager Fullscreen mode" -integer 0
defaults write com.wizards.mtga "Screenmanager Resolution Use Native" -integer 0
# you can also replace the long complicated integer bit with any other scaled 16:9
# resolution your system supports.
# to find the scaled resolutions, go to System Preferences --> Display and then
# divide the width by 16 and multiple by 9. on my personal system this ends up

Let's Destroy C

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?

Auto click "remove" on all facebook advertisers and Twitter interests
// I did this in Chrome...
//
// Go to https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/
// Click the "Advertisers" section to open it up.
// Click "See more" once
// Before doing anything else, just keep clicking space bar to trigger the "see more" button
// Do this for a bit until all the advertisers are loaded
// then run this below in the dev tools console...
// (It will take a few minutes, depending how many you have, and your browser may lock up, but once it's done you will see it auto clicked the "remove" X in the top right for all of them)
