    It took me a while to even begin to understand what Qbix is trying to sell people on. In my humble opinion the website is a disaster, especially on mobile. After a few minutes all …

    I'm particularly interested in their shady data privacy shenanigans. How would this hold up against a GDPR complaint? It doesn't sound like they're properly listing what data is to…

    Servers are not interoperable by default. There is 3rd party software that acts as a proxy letting Bedrock players connect to Java servers but it'll just remove anything that the m…

    Not sure if you'd consider this a "complete application" that is bigger than a "Hello-World-esque example" but I've worked on a Discord bot in SWI Prolog[1] for a while with a frie…
