https://connections.swellgarfo.com has the connections from nyt, and even lets you play all the previous ones. Same with https://connectionsplus.io

If that happens, you can just switch to another distro. That’s the point of Linux

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

Right, so similar to locks? Usually can be easily bypassed if you know how, but it at least filters out the people who aren’t determined enough to put in the effort.

I mean, I would’ve said the same about the mobile apps, but here we are.

Yeah for tech stuff stack exchange is the way to go. But if I’m looking for info on non-tech stuff, there’s not really a site that I know of that has a bunch of general user submitted q&a. There’s quora, but that’s absolutely horrible.

Also even with stack exchange, the rules are a bit more strict there, low effort posts are uncommon which can mean you can’t find some stuff there. Although usually there’s some other forum you can find your answer on.

Right, but having a centralised search index thingy is better than none at all. Maybe there could be something where it’s a joint effort from admins from many of the biggest servers, idk if that would work.

Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that’s been tested and audited (unless it’s following something like this EU thing of course)

A tower defense game with a microprocessor theme

Does anyone remember that club penguin tower defence game where you defend against computer viruses?

Nice. Won’t be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

The app also doesn’t let you add your own music, though… Very annoying, cause some songs aren’t on streaming services

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that’s just for if you don’t want to give out your phone number.

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don’t think I’d be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She’d probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

I’m definitely waiting. If I have a craving for some Hades, I still have the first game

The email vendor doesn’t really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don’t, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there’s Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you’d be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

Haven’t really used them but the main thing I’ve heard is that Godot is a lot simpler to use, especially for 2D games. With Godot you can also use many different languages, while Unity only supports C#. I’ve heard that Godot’s 3D engine isn’t as fully fleshed out as Unity’s though. I’ve seen complaints about the lighting engine, for example.

It wouldn’t need to say HighContrastForAccessibilityPurposes though, it would ideally just be HighContrast, and the “for accessibility purposes” would be a comment, right?

Yeah. It’s not even the fact that they don’t implement Nearby Share themselves that’s bad, it’s that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can’t even implement Nearby Share themselves

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I don’t think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it’s a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn’t really matter. But don’t say there are NO upsides.
