the main idea behind the blockade is that Facebook implementing ActivityPub can easily overwhelm any instance small enough in infrastructure through the sheer amount of traffic that such connection would have on the rest of the Fediverse (case and point, the occasional waves of Twitter users moving to Mastodon), and with fewer instances it can get easier for the company to take advantage of that to take over the network and make it monopolized again.

edit: i didn’t read your comment properly, i thought that was lacking context. sorry x.x

edit 2: https://lemmy.ca/post/11771031 someone else shared this thread, it’s an interesting and important read

thank you ^^

i see now. thank you

the image doesn’t match at all with the actual website even though the individual entries in the picture are accurate.

the entire list is mixed half-and-half across the board, with slight bias to Federated status. still a long way to go.

i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

• Celeste
• OneShot
• Rythm Doctor
• Terraria (has android ver.)
• A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
• MiniMetro (has android ver.)
• ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
• StuntRally
• Mindustry (has android ver.)
• HyperRogue (has android ver.)
• SuperMeatBoy
• Don’t Starve
• Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
• Sky Rogue
• SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

i see milk tasting almost like water like skimmed milk, as well as some juices i used to be able to buy, fillings in sweets like crackers and wafers being almost as thin as paper or outright stopping being sold and replaced by cookies using drops for a filling, yogurt being replaced by “milk drink” (yogurt is thicker and slower to flow down, i can tell the difference, but the label also changes, idk the english term for “bebida láctea”), a lot of sweets and bags reducing from 800g down to 600g, down to 400g while keeping the same price, packaging turning opaque and non-transparent, potato chips and other salt foods being filled 1/5th, down from 1/3rd, even instant noodles going from 150g down to 80g in the past decade.

only things that aren’t changed as much is what i know to be the very basic things that people in here uses and cooks every day, that being rice (5kg), beans (5 and 1kg), pasta (500g all variants), sugar and salt (1kg), etc.
mostly depends on the country you are in (i’m in Brazil), but the point is that it doesn’t stop at the chocolate bars.

the name “X” is just a bunch of pollution to other topics that happens to have something of the same name. i hate it.

lately i’ve been interested in discussions of “Rewriting everything in Rust”

question: why is using OCR software more worth it than taking its contents with something like LibreOffice Draw?

EU means Europe (so european portuguese), which has a few more pronounced differences compared to brazilian portuguese compared to the difference between US english and UK english

to add to that, think of the following: why do a lot of people understand the word “you” as the standard neutral second-person pronoun for the english lexicon? why do a lot of people understand “selfie” as the main word to refer to a self-portrait photo typically made with a device held by the same person who’s featured in the portrait?

now explain each case of why should or shouldn’t be that easy to take either word and morph its meaning into being for example, “the instance of a person in a fruit costume hanging out inside a fruit basket”.

what i mean is, @[email protected] is completely missing the premise of this question.

not sure what “rest of the world” is because there’s so many languages. i know that portuguese calls it “abacaxi” (“xi” is pronounced “she”)

my bad x.x

have at it!

taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.

#~/.gitconfig
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
path = /path/to/github.gitconfig

#example gitlab gitconfig from the included path
[user]
name = Your Name
email = [email protected]
signingkey = 0000999988887777

[commit]
gpgsign = true

if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.

hey kid! interested in some Asset Pack V2 - The Unofficial Homestuck Collection dot zip?

to be fair, the word Mastodon was being censored on Twitter at one point, but doesn’t mean the other way happens in the Fediverse.

i can vouch for that as someone who participated this year. even maintaining a bunch of barcode flags on the canvas near the painting frame was difficult because of how little people we had.

@[email protected] to add to this comment, there’s this video explaining what happened with Gab.
