Skimmed through the article quickly and yeah that's what I interpret as well, this is just NFC Payment, and has been a thing on Android devices for years already.
Aaah! The thought did strike me that maybe it could be Icelandic or Finnish, i know you guys up in Iceland in particular are really dedicated to inventing new native words for absolutely everything, and never using loan words
Not really important, as the idea is cool, but regardless; as a Nordic, i can't think of a single word we use for computer that would translate to number witch 🤔
On a similar note, robot vacuum.
It cleans quite nicely, is surprisingly reliable, and as a bonus you keep the floor less cluttered to make sure it doesn't run into stuff it shouldn't.
Considering Isekai is basically just fantasy with extra steps, take a look at Frieren if you haven't already. It's fantasy without the Isekai gimmick, following the story of an elf that outlives all her travelling companions, and retraces the steps of her journey with them to remember them. Very wholesome, slow paced and melancholic - even sad at times.
Ascendance of a Bookworm is another, following a library mega-nerd that isekais into a little sickly girl, and follows her story as she works towards creating the entire goddamn book industry all the way from creating paper from scratch.
Dr. Stone is potentially another example, not strictly iseka with the whole reincarnated gimmick, but "petrified for a few thousand years" and waking to a post post post apocalyptic stone age setting is basically the same anyway. Follows a science mega-nerd that starts recreating modern science from scratch.
Very, very poorly made in that case, probably. Properly prepared whale is honestly closer to beef than any other fish, and should be juicy and easy to chew.
The answer is largely the same if you make the same assumptions though, just roughly twice as bad because not only does the earth stop and everything not attached goes yeet, but everything attached starts moving just as fast as you in the opposite direction
Ditto. Used to be a Boost user on Reddit, joined Lemmy when Boost was released for it, but ended up switching to Connect because boost was finicky for me for some reason. Never saw any reason to look back, i like Connect better
Newgrounds still lives and flourishes, to this day it is still an incredibly active hub for free browser games and animations. Itch.io is another hub that is very active, both with free and paid games. Both have thousands of browser games, quality ranging from literal shit to truly excellent.
Flash may have died, but the browser game very much lives on.
Tried looking that up but can't really find anything, what is the controversy there?
