is this available in text form?

Probably Emacs. /j

lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.

Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.

Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It’s a game about going back in time, c’monnnnn.

Alley Cat actually got a second chance! Look up “Alley Cat: ReMeow”

I don’t usually “pin to top” or “pin to bottom” but I often have pseudo-folders that use a similar approach, for instance

• Healthcare
• Mail
• Taxes 2020
• Taxes 2021
• (etc)
• Work 2020 (Name of job)
• Work 2021 (Name of job)
• (etc)

I would much rather learn a new word than slog through a glib deluge.

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven’t had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of “soft hierarchy” within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I’d have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

if the states aren’t obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.

ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.

Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.

Firefox had tab grouping first. Before Chrome. And then it broke support for it when they did the add-ons overhaul. I’m surprised bringing it back wasn’t a high priority…

Answering my own question: I work in web development and my usual value for pi is the standard JavaScript Math.PI. JavaScript uses 64-bit floats, which are accurate to about 15 decimal places. But that’s how many digits the computer uses. For practical math, I don’t think I’ve ever needed more than 2 digits of accuracy in an equation involving pi.

I had some Berenstain Bears books as a kid and I remember noting at the time “huh, weird name but okay”. So like, I don’t get why people think it was “Berenstein”? It looks wrong, but it’s always looked wrong.

Google search. I want a way of finding stuff based on everyone’s tag suggestions, like a booru, but distributed.

oooh, wiby got a .org? nice.

I don’t know about self-hosted search yet, but I think that’s one place where federation might actually be a feature and not overhead.

This isn’t a new problem, Reddit was the same way. As a site grows, it gets harder to moderate, and that means more people trolling for attention. Go to your user settings and change the default view from “All” to “Subscribed”, and you’ll have more control over your home page.

This is like asking “isn’t wikipedia full of false information?”

And, yes! There are lots of mistakes in wikipedia. But when they’re found, they can be fixed. That’s the same deal with open source software.

Japan has a word which I forget, but it means “Furry Bad End”, which refers to any “Happy” ending where a cool animal character turns back into a boring human; e.g. Beauty and the Beast.

Sounds similar to echolalia, which I believe is a common autism symptom. A person with echolalia may have difficulty forming complete sentences, and will prefer “recycling” sentences they have heard before.

I wouldn’t call it “lazy” if its legitimately a mental disorder. Laziness implies a lot more agency and choice.

That being said, I’ve found many autistic people are open to communication lessons if offered with kindness. Its just that teaching takes time.
