I’m pissed that Biden isn’t calling their bluff and breaking a ton of laws right now.

Comic books. And those weird bathroom readers.

stronger products need less advertising, so an over-advertised product is likely inferior.

I’m impressed that you found a way to give an answer less helpful than ‘just google it.’ Where do you think chatgpt (and google) get their knowledge?? Threads like this one.

I would avoid the .us domain unless you have a good spam filter. If you register with .us, you get put on a public list, and you get calls from people begging you to hire them to design your website.

I dont. Its honestly not great. I’d rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web – the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a “reblog” feature!

“Federation” adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It’s not a selling point, its a price tag.

I finally hacked my 3ds, using the tools at https://3ds.hacks.guide. It was surprisingly easy, and gives you access to

• homebrew!
• emulators!
• online play for most games! (see: Pretendo Network)
• custom home screen themes!

I waited until Nintendo shut down their servers 'cause I was worried about bans, but now there’s no excuse. Go liberate your 3ds, it takes less than an hour.

Please tell me the “Triple I Initiative” involves Solanum (Outer Wilds)

A built-in scripting language. The TI-83 line of calculators have an app programming language that requires you to side-load code from another computer, but they also have TI-BASIC, which allows you to write a wide variety of scripts right on the calculator itself. This should be standard on all ‘smart’ devices. It’s so stupid to have gigahertz of computing power in your pocket and not be able to do anything without writing the app on another machine.

I know Termux for Android exists and that’s a good start, but I’d like to see something baked right into the OS that has access to all my device’s cool sensors and gizmos. The camera, the microphone, the aux port, the usb port, the accelerometer, the bluetooth antenna… all of those things should be exposed to the user. This would be a really good use case for ‘visual’ programming ala Scratch, since you could assemble a script right from a touch screen instead of having to plug in a keyboard.
