I think they call those prisons. /s But seriously, I don't know how much I'd trust society to care / keep funding such schools, or people working there to that with enough empathy …

Conversely, it also ingrains the lesson that it is ok to abuse anyone weaker than you A) if you know you can get away with it (because someone stronger is not always around/aware/i…

No, I think it was meant literally. Like the IT Crowd skit where Jen refers to the Internet Explorer desktop shortcut as "the button for the internet".

"The author" in above comment refers to the author of the port. So, yes, thats what they meant.

Sue who? Youtube? The claimants? A fraudulent claimant like this is often some anonymous operation that can pop up under a different name the next day. Good luck finding them (and …

I'm interested in the opposite direction too. If the iPad could do real phone calls and sms, I would ditch mobile phones. In the process I'd hope to reduce some screen time. I coul…

I doubt they'd just add a UUID in a file header somewhere. If they uniquely modify the actual audio samples in a way that is inaudible during casual listening, that would be much h…

Could you elaborate on which features are premium only? Or maybe also put them in the AppStore description? I tend to be averse to even downloading apps with IAP, without knowing w…

My best guess would be: selecting with the mouse from the left until the (first two?) arabic characters, then extending the selection using the right arrow key while holding shift.…

As far as I know they are using a customised variant of the "wave-function collapse" technique, used and popularised by Oskar Stalberg in his games "Bad North" and "Townscaper". Th…

I would be very interested in a more detailed write-up, if you have the time (or have one already).

What does it achieve to be snarky to someone who can do nothing about it?

Yes, and an individual's convictions remain static forever and cannot be influenced by others. You can't convince me otherwise. Your argument sounds tautological.

For not being a charity they seem to gladly accept a lot of free volunteer work and free content created for them. I'd say in terms of value to the platform they got a great deal.

Haven't tried it, but this comment on /r/DataHoarder mentioned these two repos: https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

Am I misunderstanding something or is this not just replacing one password with two salts and another password? What benefits would this have over just generating a password?

Somewhat related, there is a Twitter thread about (not quite isometric) hex-grid pixel-art [1]. In a previous thread [2], Oskar Stålberg, creator of the games Bad North, Townscaper…
