‘But we’re speaking Japanese’

An icon of a saint works for Slavic languages.

Come to think of it, if opening a folder depicts opening a file, then saving must be portrayed by putting the file back.

‘A AA AAA AAAA’

There’s a Lua module for Nginx, and in particular OpenResty bundles those two. Lua is snappy as hell, especially in the LuaJIT variant, and uses very little memory — so when it’s paired with Nginx, one could probably run a performant web app on a toaster.

These days there are ten packages for every task.

Lua works smooth like butter with binary libraries written in C (since it’s made to be embeddable in C), but also it’s so fast that for many things people just do libraries in plain Lua.

I remapped alt to ctrl as God intended, and ‘windows’ and the context-menu keys to alt. Coincidentally, the ctrl keys stopped working on my laptop for some reason, but if they worked, I’d map them to ‘super’ and put some obscure os-wide functions on there, like enabling/disabling Bluetooth. Or would just switch to English and my language with one press of a particular key.

The guy also doesn’t have the muscle mass to operate a dildo.

Are you two spending hours wistfully browsing the BD catalogue?

Also Wiktionary imported the whole Webster dictionary from early 20th century sometime in the beginning of their operation, and apparently Webster was a fan of thoroughly describing each of the twenty meanings of a word. Which tradition continues in Wiktionary to this day — instead of giving three-word descriptions for two or three meanings tops, as other online dictionaries do.

My one complaint is that the thesaurus at Wiktionary is so-so, being exhaustive only for things like euphemisms, which naturally have many synonyms. In most cases, Thesaurus.com is a better resource.

There’s a small strategy game called ‘Antiyoy’, with simplistic mechanics, which works for short-ish games: you can do a stint while waiting in queue or such. Iirc ‘Antiyoy Classic’ is entirely offline, while the regular one has an online mode. Both have no ads and near zero permissions, unless something changed since I last played.

You can try ‘Diplicity’ for an online strategy a-la ‘Risk’ where you bargain and do alliances with other players, until one of you wins the whole thing. There’s no randomness. It’s an implementation of the board game ‘Diplomacy’.

‘Hocus’ is a nice spatial puzzle with impossible geometry. Iirc it requires payment for additional levels, but has no ads.

The app ‘Fabularium’ runs text adventures, i.e. games where you type your actions and read the description of what happens. There are a myriad of such adventure games, many with novel mechanics. You’ll need to download the games themselves separately, mainly from IFDb.org. ‘Fabularium’ isn’t the only app that runs text adventures, but I like it and it supports more formats than some other apps do.

OpenTTD is fine on a tablet — though controls aren’t specially adapted, they just emulate a mouse. On a phone screen the controls are too small and everything is crowded.

Did you account for timezones? First fights started at 3:40 a.m. Kyiv time, which is UTC+2.

So, yet more ways the US shits on the atmosphere while bitching about China’s emissions.

Ah! Good old videos on ‘how realistic these films are’. I know at least three decent series of such vids, but forgot about them lately — need to get into them again, they provide nice mealtime entertainment.

If we’re gonna take shitposts seriously, then I’m also gonna inform you that I recently watched the movies, and a lot of the injuries depicted would be at least ER-worthy, with possible permanent crippling damage, and more than a few would easily kill a man. Especially in the second film.

As Josh Johnson has said, “you know Trump was close with Maxwell when he never once mispronounced her name and has zero problem with that silent ‘s’”.

Works the other way too.
