yes? it's got sexist and classist elements and satirizes victorian culture.
i'd encourage reading it ahead of gifting (and i'd encourage grabbing it from archive.org or something, since it's 141 years old) because not all 10 yearolds are going to receive it the same way
this is one where "software forge" is industry specific jargon (similar to "isostaticrebound" in earthquake science and "evapotranspiration" in biology) which the intended audience would tend to know the definition of. that said, it's a fair complaint for the quality of their marketing material (if not their technical documentation).
as an aside, i checked and it takes four taps (with an thumb highlight thown in ) to define it from my phone.
Curious, what part of the industry is "software forge" a term of art? I have been programming since the late 90s and have never heard it. Looks like it was popular from 1988 to 2007:
I didn't watch the video but read the GOG post and did an AI summary of the video.
I don't see the "humiliated" part. GOG definitely is picking a tiny fight and taking a principled stance but there's no indication Blizzard even cares, is there?
Given that third-party Android OSes are missing features that many people consider essential (like anything that requires passing SafetyNet), I don't believe these OSes are a general solution, applicable to the masses, even if installation were dead-simple and reliable.
I ran CyanogenMod for years, and every app I ran and every feature I used on the stock Android OS worked properly on CM. I loved it. But these days that's just not the case on Lineage or Graphene or Calyx or any of the others.
So I think for many people, it doesn't matter. "Google Android", "Samsung Android", etc. are the only realistic options, so they are just "Android" to them.
"Pushing back" doesn't really work when there's no support, and adding that support is against Google's priorities.
Regardless web experience on mobile is unfortunately generally subpar than native apps, for most sites/apps. I'm not sure I'm equipped to change that situation.
that FAQ is accurate but (rightly) doesn't cover high-security deployments.
if I'm running the bridges local-to-the-client (I am, on my McBook) it's not meaningfully any less e2ee. encryption happens in the matrix client (running on the laptop), the encrypted message is sent to the homeserver on localhost, the bridge (on localhost) grabs the encrypted message and decrypts it, then the bridge re-encrypts it and sends it to Whatsapp (or wherever). the content of the message is as secure over the wire with this approach as using first-party apps directly
if one hosts their own bridges they're person-in-the-middling themselves and should take all the necessary precautions. if they're using beeper's hosted options they have to delegate read/write ability to beeper (though I think the signal and imessage bridges might be device-local), and beeper is clear about that.
I do, I didn't, but I understand why it happens. my HN account is 14 years old, I read comments frequently, comment rarely, upvote occasionally, and flag very very rarely.
I don't downvote because can't, I don't have enough karma yet. so, even if people who can't yet downvote don't know the full effects of flagging it's _literally_ their only option to indicate their belief something doesn't belong on the front page.
it's cool! (though i tried to sign in to poke around and hit a wall since there's no tag associated with the account)
that said, the tags are kinda steep.
the tags are pre-paying for the webapp in general (vs only knownplus) but i'd prefer tags be a convenient shortcut instead of a cost of entry. that is, figure out whatever the appropriate price is for the web app and charge that (this seems like it'd lend itself well to freemium, 2 plants for free, up to n $12/yr, up to n $??/yr).
i have 43 pots of indoor plants and many of those have two to four distinct species in them. so that'd be $135 to add a single tag to each pot vs ~$15? to buy a bunch of NFC stickers
the tags also mean it's a $25 experiment to see if i even like the product (i might not really be the target market, but soil/light/water ranges and requirements being a tap away is pretty cool). i've currently got a bunch of different colored glass blobs i use to help remind me of watering targets but i'll usually do a quick search when it comes time to repot and mix up new potting soil mixes
We’ll have standalone billing with no labels required in the next little while. We’re also planning to add a feature that will let you connect one label to multiple plants for that multiple plants in one location case.
this thread is dramatic evidence there's demand for this product.
that said, I have to echo some of the other folks here: this tool is not useful for determining the risk to my dog.
problems:
- items known to be not-toxic are listed as toxic (water?)
-items known to be toxic are not weighed higher than non-toxic items in search
- items with dosage dependent toxicity don't expose that toxicity (onions are toxic, my dog would need to eat several raw onions to have any toxicity)
- items known to be extremely toxic in low dosages (like xylitol) aren't present
- the toxic component of dishes aren't listed
