I’m the opposite of this picture. It’s like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.

Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.

You can see that it’s symmetrical and that they used 6 diametrical cuts to make 12 pieces. So 2 are missing.

Not that it matters much, but this little dishonesty just adds to the zaniness of the whole ad.

That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?

How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?

In this vein I love how companies even spin up entire domains with affiliate links like top10airfryers.net or bestvacuumcleaners2024.com.

And then there source for the ratings is Amazon customer reviews or even the manufacturer’s online shop 🙄.

Well, hieroglyphs aren’t just pictograms. Some are, but the bulk you can pronounce .If you were versed in the language you could read out aloud what’s on that slate just like you can read out aloud this comment. Try doing that with the wall of emojies.

That being said, emojies do much enhance our communication potential 🥳.

Very insightful post.

It’s interesting to see that the European Union will start to force interoperability of some networks // applications // protocols. This makes it for instance that people who use WhatsApp and Signal messengers can communicate. At least a step in the right direction it seems.

I haven’t seen an app that does it really well like some libraries or ontologies do but I’m certainly not well versed with all of them. Back in the day I used Evernote which was at least a start, as you could create arbitrary hierarchies (nest tags within tags).

So ideally you would want to be able to nest tags like this:

news.politics.europe.denmark

of course another person might prefer the hierarchy

politics.elections.news.denmark

There’s no strict right or wrong here but often over time some consensus forms. Bonus points if there are equivalency classes, ie “recipe”, “recipes”, “cooking recipe”, and even the Spanish versions “receta” and “recetas” all refer to the same thing.

By meta tags I mean the ability to describe and classify certain tag groups. For instance “politics”, “cats” and “Hollywood” are content tags while the tags “English”, “Danish” and “French” are language tags. “PDF”, “MP3” and “HTML” are file format tags but “video”, “music” and “text” are content form tags while “2023”, “2004-04-03” are time-line tags

Meta categories allow you for instance to search for pages that are about the English language, but not necessarily in English and surely not written by people who happen to have the last name ‘English’. Now some systems encode this information inside the string of the tag itself like so: “language = English” or “topic = cats”, but I think the most elegant solution is really to let a tag have categories or tags on its own which describe what it’s used for (thus meta tags).

The current demo is quite limited. I hope they add (nested) tags and meta tags at least.

Yup, in many of the world’s poorer regions Facebook has partnered up with cell phone providers to provide free access to the Facebook ecosystem and a limited number of other sites but not the general internet. This means for instance that if someone posts a newspaper article you can’t even check up on the source without incurring extra costs. For millions of people Facebook therefore is the de facto Internet experience.

fehlt fast noch ein 5tes panel in der die beiden dann zwangsmobilisiert an der Front landen

Das Deck selber hat ja keinen Mobilfunkchip oder? Aber man kann sicherlich über USB ein entsprechendes Gerät anschließen oder das Smartphone als Brücke verwenden. Zumindest wenn die Verbindung nur für den Start des Spiels und nicht während der gesamten Laufzeit benötigt wird.

There’s both practical and more spiritual/philosophical reasons for this.

Before artificial light sources, especially electrical ones, moon light let people stay productive longer whilst outside. This was especially important for comunal activities like hunting, harvests or celebrations too. Keeping track of moon cycles is thus valuable for preparation in scheduling. And once you do that it can also be used to organize other social events around that. Similar to how our modern calendars and schedules are built around important fixed events.

The moon and sun as celestial bodies also gained prominent religious and mystical significance in ancient cultures. Remember that people didn’t actually know what the moon or sun were in the modern scientific sense. But for some strange reason these mystical glowing disks on which people were so reliant kept rising with unerring synchronicity. The inquiry into the movements on the firmament lead many a civilization down the paths of observation, record keeping and math too.
