  • You just described the Total War series

  • HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

    First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

  • Not to mention the two sequels World without End and A Column of Fire, set in the 1400s and 1600s, respectively, and the prequel Kingsbridge set around the year 1000.

    Then there's the century trilogy which takes place in the 20th century, and a whole lot of smaller works like A Dangerous Fortune, which manages to make you care for some bankers in 19th century London.

  • While they do have many kinds of photoreceptors, and can therefore see a large range of colours, they have very limited colour resolution: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2014.14578

    As far as I understand it, they cannot blend the different light components nearly as well as humans do (e.g. seeing red and green at the same time and deduce that is yellow).

  • Markdown (.md) could and should be used for simple, somewhat structured text files. It's easy enough to learn, and WYSIWYG editors are abundant as well.

  • That's how you find out if you're a knight radiant, right?

  • Oui

    Jump

  • I'd be Rankine it a bit higher than that.

  • Yaml is honestly just a terrible terrible format that is neither good for humans nor good for machines.

  • Does that mean female werewolves should be called wowolves? (Or even better, woowolves)

  • If you brick your car's firmware, at least you can keep driving without unreasonable levels of difficulty or distraction

    That's impossible for a large portion of safety critical systems. Engines don't run without a controller, they literally control the fuel injection valves (and have done so for decades). Brake systems have physical failsafes for when the electronics die (I.e. basic hydraulics without the booster), but you should not be able to move a vehicle without a working brake system after it stopped.

    The shitton of software running modern cars is there for good reason (at least large chunks of it), lots of which is safety, especially in the drivetrain.

    It's completely different for infotainment, which I agree the vehicle should be able to function without (although the dashboard must work)

  • He simply grew up into the role of the villain. And then he played that role.

  • Sure he can. He just has no control over your reaction.

  • The US can't even figure out giving IDs to its citizens, what makes you think they can make a cryptographically secure voting app? Not to mention that all forms of electronic voting opens up new attack vectors, which will definitely be exploited.

    Just make election day a public holiday, make mail-in voting easier and assign enough polling stations with sufficient personnel to prevent long queues.

  • That's only half of the issue. In fact, palm oil is entirely very space efficient compared to rape seed or other vegetable oils.

    The actual issue only starts when you take into account that oil palms really only grow in south east Asia and Oceania, and the space required is obtained by cutting down rainforest.

  • I would love to try Pathfinder 2e. I bought the core rulebook a while back during the OGL debacle.

    Unfortunately, my player group is quite bad at remembering their own abilities, which is just a complete no-go for an ability-heavy system like PF2e.

    I'm now trying out Savage Pathfinder instead.

  • Some people honestly just need to get a real hobby in their life.

  • CinemaWins has the same shtick, but reversed into positivity, which I find much more agreeable.
