I should think that’s a pretty niche memory among people who browse the internet nowadays, but then I only have anecdotal evidence, so I could be underestimating it. Even so, I thi…

There might be other reasons, but chrismorgan linked a nice write-up in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49136685

I have trouble seeing how that helps anyone. It’s not like ‘RSS’ is a widespread term the way ‘Word’ or even ‘Mastodon’ are (and even there I’d argue it’s worthwhile to use technic…

Thank you; that was a fun read! I had read that Atom was generally regarded as the technically superior format, but your article (and the links you helpfully provided therein) made…

It may not be in the Emoji character block formally, but casually speaking it’s not wrong to call it an emoji, since emoji is basically just a picture character, and this is no les…

Oddly enough, they do show July 25 on mouseover. The post itself shows as July 24 from two hours ago, and vunderba’s (top) comment shows as July 24 from 1 hour ago. I wonder if an …

I kind of assumed the artist’s impression was working with perspective? The images shown in the sidebar seem to picture them at different relative sizes.

The flags have also all (except for Finland, which appears slightly wider?) been squeezed into a uniform 3:2 aspect ratio; some of them (e.g. Belgium, Switzerland, United Kingdom) …

Yet somehow French still manages to be altogether more coherent than English… or at least that’s the impression I’ve had so far.

Also some older but still kicking alternatives: * https://darcs.net/ * https://mercurial-scm.org/

Even assuming it’s right, I don’t like this article. Not because of the claims it makes, but rather because of the implications it makes—or doesn’t care to avoid. Organic farming i…

The article does contain sections on climate and ecology, even if the focus is largely on pesticides.

Is it because the new flag is better, or is it really because some sort of a movement has formed around it? In other words, would the new flag have been this popular if it had alre…

If my understanding is correct, enter by default starts a new paragraph ( … in HTML). Holding shift makes it add a line break ( in HTML). I think maybe Thunderbird has a plain text…

It does. Run `winecfg` and see ‘Folders’ under the ‘Desktop Integration’ tab. Wine used to link these to directories in your home directory by default; not sure if that’s still the…

> The question remains. Where do you draw the line? What are the rules? These questions absolutely remain, but their scope is not nearly as wide as some people here make it out to …

People taking ‘usually right’ as ‘100% true fact’ sounds like a pretty big issue to me. Of course, it’s the people who must learn to know and mind the distinction, first and foremo…

> There's absolutely nothing wrong with using AI and it's something we should be celebrating. In many cases, there are clear disadvantages to using AI, be it the effect on human ps…

None of these amount to AI making something. Before AI, it’s been humans who put the words on the paper, who put the strokes on the canvas, who put the notes on the sheet. Spell-ch…

If the title is anything to go by, SVG’s of a hamster playing table tennis.

You can care about some issues more than you care about others, or only speak out against some of them. I don’t think anyone is (or can be reasonably expected to be) speaking out a…

I think your rhetoric is needlessly antagonistic. The idea of free software follows from fairly simple logic: You should be in control of your computer and any software that runs o…

Wow, thank you for the detailed answer! I understand your point much better now. I still think ‘kills any sort of multiplayer games’ (what the other dev said) is a gross exaggerati…

The point I was trying to make is that understanding and modifying software to do your bidding is significantly more feasible if you already have the source code than if you have t…

As not a game dev myself, may I ask for clarification? How does ‘Stop Killing Games’ legislation kill any sort of multiplayer games specifically? Aren’t there already games which d…
