<p>the majority of the web browsers are based on Chromium, including Opera, Brave, and Microsoft Edge.

<p>Chromium has basically won the browser war, but there are still some alternatives like Firefox
(Gecko) and Safari (WebKit).</p>
<p>which web browser do you use? let me know!</p>
<ul class="list">
<li>Chromium (Brave, Chromium, Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Opera, Vivaldi)</li>
<li>Gecko (Firefox, Waterfox, Librewolf, Pale Moon, Basilisk, SeaMonkey, Tor Browser, GNU IceCat,
Iceweasel, TenFourFox)</li>
<li>WebKit (Safari, Epiphany, rekonq, Midori, QupZilla/Falkon, Konqueror, Otter Browser, GNOME Web,
<code>surf</code>)
</li>
<li>text-based (Lynx, w3m, eLinks, Links, Links2, Browsh)</li>
<li>Internet Explorer (you're a legend if you still use this, as this website was designed to work
on IE)</li>
<li>other (Dillo, NetSurf)</li>

<p>programming languages are like spoken languages, but for computers.</p>
<p>there are many programming languages out there, but some are more popular than others.</p>

<p>hi there, as you can see i haven't written here in a while. nobody sees this anyway so why bother lmao <small>oh man, how time flies...</small></p>
<p>today is saturday 21 september 2024, and a few notable things happened:</p>
<ul class="list">
<li>Google has a Play Store integrity API available to developers to check if apps are sideloaded. Open source enthousiasts aren't going to like this.</li>
<li>OpenAI o1 was released, an advanced reasoning model that can answer questions and perform tasks by thinking for a few seconds. It's not open source, but still noteworthy.</li>
<li>GTA V can no longer be played on Linux due to Rockstar Games' new anti-cheat system (BattlEye). This is a big blow to the Linux gaming community.</li>
<li>macOS Sequoia has been released. Check out its new features <a href="apple.com/macos">here</a>.</li>
<li>Linux has surpassed 4.45% <a href="https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide">market share</a> on the desktop. This is a big milestone for the open-source community. As of writing, now it's at 4.55%.</li>
<li>Manifest version 2 will be removed from Chromium-based browsers. This means that ad blockers like uBlock Origin no longer work correctly. There is an enterprise flag to make it last until June 2025, but that won't last forever.</li>
</ul>
<p>now you: are you affected by the Manifest version 2 removal? let me know in the <a href="https://github.com/spetterman66/spetterman66.github.io/discussions/3" class="underline">GitHub Discussion</a>!</p>
<p>see you next time, when i feel like writing again.</p>

<h1 class="mobile">how well does the nvidia geforce 8400gs perform in 2024?</h1>
</hgroup>
<em>it's december already? holy crap!</em>
<p>if overclocked by a bit, the MSI NVIDIA 8400 GS is still usable in 2024.</p>
<p>software used to overclock is asus gpu tweak, as it overclocks more than msi afterburner.</p>
<p>all games are ran at the lowest possible setting through the GUI, not through special command-line arguments or configuration files.</p>
<h2>clocks the card in this setup runs at:</h2>
<ul>
<li>core/shader: 750MHz</li>
<li>memory: 800MHz</li>
</ul>
<h1>game benchmarks:</h1>
<h3>Holocure (cool Hololive Vtuber game on Steam)</h3>
<p>runs at a good 45-65FPS, due to it being a simple 2D pixel art game. resolution set to 1280x720 windowed on a 1600x900 display.</p>
<h3>Half-Life 2</h3>
<p>runs at 35-50 FPS, due to the game being old xd</p>
<h3>Portal 2007</h3>
<p>runs at quite a smooth 45-60FPS :D</p>
<h3>Minecraft 1.12.2</h3>
<p>with the fastest settings and 10 render chunks to keep my sanity, it runs at a comfortable 20-30FPS.</p>
<h3>Osu!</h3>
<p>due to the game being 2D, this rather bad graphics card handles it well, as its good at 2D acceleration. 50 to 90 FPS, depending on intensity of beatmap.</p>
<h3>Unigine Heaven</h3>
<p>the Unigine Heaven benchmark runs at a maximum of 7fps on a resolution of 1600x900, maybe it'll run faster on a lower screen resolution.</p>
<h3>VRChat Desktop</h3>
<p>VRChat Desktop runs at 10fps maximum on 1600x900, with the "Planck Zero" world (smallest possible world in VRChat, so it doesn't take up a lot of resources at all)</p>

</hgroup>
<p>here i am with a new overview of recent developments in the tech world.</p>
<p>today is 29 July 2025, and a few notable things happened:</p>
<ul class="list">
<li>samsung devices running One UI 8 are unable to have their bootloader unlocked, preventing users from installing custom roms. this makes samsung phones unfavorable for the open source community.</li>
<li>macos, ios, and ipados 26 have been released, with a design overhaul inspired by visionos, used on the apple vision pro headset. it is considered controversial just like any other major redesign that came before it.</li>
<li>the hyprland desktop environment has released a subscription service for access to a special forum, preconfigued dotfiles, and of course you will support development.</li>
<li>the petition for stop killing games reached over a million signatures, meaning discussion has to be held in the European Parliament.</li>
<li>the popular swedish youtuber pewdiepie has made a video about using arch linux, meaning it is more popular than ever before.</li>
<li>there have been various updates in the kde plasma desktop environment, such as reporting on low printer ink, wallpapers for day/night cycles, and wifi password sharing.</li>
</ul>
<p>now you: do you like the design changes in macos, ios, and ipados version 26? let me know at <a href="https://github.com/spetterman66/spetterman66.github.io/discussions/5">GitHub Discussions</a>.</p>
<p>see you next time, when i remember this still exists.</p>
