Does it need to? Unfortunately, a threat of a lawsuit by a large company is weapon enough to make people buckle.


Adding another link, here's the one I often use: https://flatuicolors.com


Could you elaborate on which features are premium only? Or maybe also put them in the AppStore description? I tend to be averse to even downloading apps with IAP, without knowing what they are going to be.


> How many give you a 25% discount on top of that? Nobody.

Because they are not allowed to sell the game cheaper elsewhere if they also want to sell on Steam. Their dev ToS require that.


There is also the amazing Franzoli Electronics with his tesla coil music. Great selection of tracks. from AC/DC - Thunderstruck to Megalovania - Undertale OST, you'll find something you like: https://youtu.be/99aLrgk-uqs


My best guess would be: selecting with the mouse from the left until the (first two?) arabic characters, then extending the selection using the right arrow key while holding shift. Might be that the arrow key skips the cursor to the right side before extending the selection.


As far as I know they are using a customised variant of the "wave-function collapse" technique, used and popularised by Oskar Stalberg in his games "Bad North" and "Townscaper". The technique boils down to hand-crafting tons of tiles with adjacency rules about which tiles can slot together. When the user adds/removes a tile the algorithm iteratively tries to find fitting tiles and, if needed, changes neighbouring tiles for ones with the best transitions. He gave a talk where he goes into detail about this[1]. You can also find more if you google his name and "wave-function collapse". [1]: https://youtu.be/0bcZb-SsnrA


I would be very interested in a more detailed write-up, if you have the time (or have one already).


What does it achieve to be snarky to someone who can do nothing about it?


That lone human cashier can say, "Are you paying with cash? I'm happy to help you!"

Seen at independent shops, sometimes with a discount for cash payment.


Small businesses I regular almost always give me a discount for using cash. Even when I make several hundred dollar purchases they extra appreciate it. They avoid the visa/stripe fees and I avoid my purchasing data being sold to advertisers. Everyone wins.


Brave and strong people with morals will quit working for the company. Customer service will worsen. People will start taking their money elsewhere.

Most people want to improve society; however, if every day it becomes clear to an employee that they are helping an evil megacorp some employees will try to do something about it. Example: Inform management how their policy is turning customers away. That it happens multiple times a day. That Sherry got a new job because she got tired following management's evil policies.

In closing they can do something about it. If enough of them push it up to their leadership, leadership will make changes. Come on bro you know this.


And in the meantime all those brave and strong people will be homeless just to make a point because they are brave and strong.


Been there done that. In some ways the best time of my life, and another ways the worst time of my life. However momentary homelessness does put things into perspective for a person. What's important? Having that flashy new car or driving that junker that I must work on every two months. Keeping up with the Joneses or living frugally? There's a big difference between needs and wants. Making smart financial choices so that I can have a spine when speaking to my boss? Yes.

Post script: People can get a new job before quitting their current job... Post script two: People can also bring issues up to leadership in a respectful way that doesn't risk unemployment. If someone's leadership is a tyrannical, it's probably best to get fired anyhow. Oppression is never a good feeling; be it from a boss or a government.


Yes, and an individual's convictions remain static forever and cannot be influenced by others. You can't convince me otherwise.

Your argument sounds tautological.


K. You probably shouldn't pursue a career as a therapist or have kids then unless you enjoy staggering around in a haze of cognitive dissonance.
