Even UTF-16 used by Windows isn't fair because it needs twice as much space for hieroglyphs. Won't someone think of the ancient Egyptians?
Seriously, now that most display systems can handle putting accents on letters instead of needing a code point just for á, a new universal encoding would be nice. Purge it of Unicode's precomposed letters, duplicated Chinese characters, and duplicated-in-retrospect letters and you could fit another few alphabets into Plane 0.
But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.
This title is a play on words, meaning "leave Mac owners short change". That is, not having as many coins as they assumed they had. Usually you are short change because you had a little less money with you than you thought, but with malware involved they mean theft.
It's difficult. I didn't understand the headline until reading the summary. "Short-changed" means not getting everything you purchased. It originally meant not getting all your change from paying with a larger bill. For example, if you used a $5 bill to buy $2.20 worth of snacks and got $2.75 back, you were short-changed.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars might work. It's going to be difficult (fear the spear) and you'll want to use those items, but it is overall easier than Chrono Trigger. And it has a remake coming out soon with some system changes.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was intended for your situation, but it's balanced in all the ways you dislike.
Otherwise, possibly the very easiest remakes of old games like the Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster.
Dragon Quest is the OG for a reason. The remakes are a lot less grindy and don't use ye olde Englysshe so they would be easier to read but less educational.
Seems to vary depending on whether I'm attempting to listen to music on my device ("attempting to" is the right word as it takes 15 seconds to load each individual song as it goes through a playlist) or listen to a YouTube video. It can go further into the background if it's music on my device, no further back than a big window drawn over the screen if it's a podcastable video, and must be in the foreground for a video IIRC.
It means that the police believe that the family was targeted because of some relationship, instead of a serial killer or armed robbers looking for whoever left the door open or doesn't keep large dogs. So the police don't expect the killer(s) to massacre another family in the neighborhood.
Firefox supports a font technology for less common scripts, Graphite, that the for-profit-corporate browsers do not. I use one of those scripts once in a great while. So I'm locked in until OpenType has better support.
I see the argument for defederating from instances with no active administration because they could start hosting egregiously illegal content at any time without recourse. And after going through the initial Hexbear wave I am for defederating instances with a strong trolling and brigading culture until we can allowlist on an individual basis. (This sounds rather like Beehaw, doesn't it?)
DQ5 wasn't the first generation game or the first monster-catching game, but it was one of the earlier games to offer either and AFAIK the first game to offer both.
That looks like the point. They brought in using health to boost and spinning from F-Zero X, so just surviving to the finish line takes some skill and discipline.
Cash bail is giving the court a lot of money as a pledge that you will show up for your trial. If you show up, you get the money back. The point is that it's a life-changing amount of money and losing it would be worse than the consequences of being convicted.
Non-cash bail is mostly promising to show up for your court date and not commit any more crimes in the meantime, but there can be restrictions like wearing an ankle monitor and not leaving the state.
Nothing else reaches the same quality as Chrono Trigger in the same way. You have to settle for lower quality with similar pacing, or try to reach the same level of quality in a different way.
Similar pacing, lower quality: Phantasy Star IV, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy IV
Comparable quality, different style: Earthbound, Final Fantasy VII (FF6 is the real answer, but FF7 is the most similar game to FF6)
Similar aspects, lower quality: Dragon Quest IV, Radical Dreamers & Chrono Cross, possibly Radiant Historia
The real thing wrong with Hexbear is that their favorite sports are brigading, trolling, and namecalling. As you'd expect from that list they are also pro-authoritarian.
Well, here are a few that are controversial with the extreme left:
Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are good things. While I can't ask the state to let itself be overthrown by ignoring ideological/religious/personality-cult calls to revolt, I don't want a narrowly defined state ideology used as a tool of court politics like Iran or the USSR.
When collective rights conflict with individual rights, I'm mostly in favor of individual rights. If a local group pops up that takes a married woman's property and gives it to her husband, bans divorce, and lets husbands beat their wives, I want my government to use laws mandating equality against them instead of give them communal autonomy. I don't care what color their skin is or what language they speak.
There is no good reason to believe that true communism will ever work for a group bigger than 10,000 people. I'm being generous because I'm not certain it has worked for 3,000. Also, true communism will be very hard to sustain in a commune that reproduces itself by birth to current members if the children have anywhere else to go. Communes that reproduce by attracting new members instead of by birth to current members, a.k.a. monasteries, can sustain communism indefinitely. (Buddhist monasteries have had very large populations, but it's rarely clear at a glance whether the monastery feeds the monks or if they have to work for their own food.)
The more a group trumpets "diversity" and "tolerance", the less tolerance they have for diversity of thought and view. They're overjoyed to recruit any color or shape of body so long as the mind inside toes the party line.
Anarchy (actual lack of a state) is the best friend patriarchy could want. A band of brothers makes a powerful coalition to rob and kill others, or on the flipside to protect their blood relatives. That puts a lot of power into the hands of grandfathers who have a posse of grandsons to fight for the family and can refuse to defend you if you don't obey.
Communist rule has been excellent for education, basic health care, and redistributing the wealth present when the Communists were elected. But it's been poor for increasing wealth.
You used "we". Who is "we"? The rest of the discussion implies that "we" means "we Hexbear users".
So here's a better question: how can a White, cisgender, cissexual hererosexual man politically to the right of Bernie Sanders disagree with you without being a bigot or a fascist?
I read "We hate anyone who doesn't agree with us."
Said out loud: "We hate bigots and fascists."
Unsaid but implied in many interactions: "Anyone who doesn't agree with us is a bigot or a fascist."
Combine: "We hate bigots and fascists, by which we mean anyone who doesn't agree with us."
Simplify: "We hate anyone who doesn't agree with us."
