I literally predicted that old.reddit.com would shut down in 6 months after u/spez said it’s not going anywhere, just like Apollo. I wasn’t sure how seriously to take this but I think I will be pretty close.

I still haven’t figured how to escape an ampersand in Lemmy post titles (which regards ‘&’ as a control character). So I chose as similar an alternative character as possible. \
The best one seems to be fullwidth ampersand, it renders similarly to an ampersand with spaces around it. It does not become &: in Lemmy post titles.

It’s been in Unicode since 1993 so it’s very well supported.
There are only 3 models of calculators in the shot (the TI-83 looks different in a rubber case) and I had one of each. It’s a composite photo. And after returning the borrowed CASIO and selling the TI-84, I only had a $10 overall cost and still keep the TI-83. More on how I did this
Once they gave us faster processors and enabled ASM programming, they were objectively the superior option. I am still wondering if we ever get a programmable & graphing calculator with a a 128x64 reflective display, either a rechargeable Li-Ion cell or one AAA battery that lasts forever and does not make the unit terribly thick so that it fits comfortably in a pocket, and has USB-mini-B or C of course. I wrote Snake, Mastermind and TriPeaks for the pictured CASIO CFX-9850 PLUS and coding was a better experience than on TI. However, our course taught TI, there were no affordable second-hand CASIOs and I wanted ready-made ASM games like 2048, Mario and Tetris so I went with the TI-84 Plus for IB.
The programs I wrote are still somewhere on my hard drive and I will publish their source as text as well as a CA-124-friendly file at some point. They work on newer programmable monochrome 128x64 CASIOs too if you remove colors and adjust for the faster processor. Unfortunately, the lack of comments and single-letter variables mean that the code is a mess but I might have the reworked versions somewhere too.
And people still have the audacity to say ViSuALLy iMpAiReD pEoPLe aRe jUsT 1% oF iNtErNeT uSeRs… Meanwhile I am enjoying a free 1 MB/day of cellular data on a prepaid card due to a provider’s billing glitch so I have my SIM in an old 2G Nokia and browse the web on Opera Mini with images disabled.
I believe in the curb cut effect so I try to follow accessibility guidelines wherever possible. I wonder when YT allows for visually impaired audio tracks so that people who only listen don’t miss important details conveyed viaually in video essays. I hate it when the narrator refers to a simple pie chart when they could have said the percentage out loud, especially if they speak redundantly elsewhere. Or when creators of obviously scripted videos don’t at least upload the script for better subtitles. Or when video annotations were removed instead of YT making at least the non-interactive ones work on mobile. Or when websites and apps restrict copying text… and all other DRM can go fuck itself, too.
I did Math HL and still got bored so I picked the affordable calculator on which I could play Solitaire, Tetris and Mario. CASIO calculators also had games and a friend sometimes lent me his CFX-9850+ (pictured) where I would code up Mastermind, TriPeaks and Snake in CASIO Basic, which was friendlier than TI-BASIC, as well as a manual image importing program. I later made a cable so I have them backed up to this day, I will publish them once I found the source.
Is still does, experimentally, if you enable developer settings, rather unintuitively through a Firefox Add-Ons account. Developer settings are not available in the official release but the Nightly builds as well as some forks, like 🦊Fennec, include them.
It still does, experimentally, if you enable developer settings, rather unintuitively through a Firefox Add-Ons account. Developer settings are not available in the official release but the Nightly builds as well as some forks, like 🦊Fennec, include them. Of course the addon settings often look out of place on a small screen and things like uBlock’s Block Element picker do not work as intended.
Well, the bizarre collection workaround is present in Beta and Nightly releases as well, and is intentionally well hidden. It also allows installing/uninstalling extensions quickly when testing on multiple devices, or sharing extension collections with testers. It is indeed needlessly convoluted for users but I would not describe the workaround as dumbass if it works well for the intended audience. You are correct, plenty of Firefox’s advantages can only be achieved by modifying the settings from defaults, often through developers’ hacky about:config keys. Mozilla thinks that mass adoption and their financial security is only possible if they make a noob-friendly browser with a few big buttons and Google search so tech-savvy people need to jump through hoops (profile importing etc.) to quickly set up the browser to their liking.
Don’t throw them out yet if they work flawlessly. Give them to someone you know or just leave them somewhere. Also, you might need your old iPhone for some reason and so you should probably keep one (possibly semi-broken) cable.
These powerbanks can set your house on fire if the chip shorts out: the wire gets very hot and melts through the plastic like this: Odysee/YT/Piped. I recommend installing a 2A (for 1A powerbanks) or 5A (for 2.1A powerbanks) automobile fuse in series with the cells or each cell individually.

I got very confused and tried clicking all kinds of stuff, ending up with a dozen accounts across the Fediverse. I am not the only one who did, apparently.
Yes! And we’re being successful, however the c is now 6 px tall and looks very sus. We need to make one like in my template (you need to install a userscript to see it, or just look at the c in r/placede)
I know, it’s better for decentralization to link to the directory. The Black Company tried but they were overrun by Italy. LEMMY.ML is the “shortest” Lemmy link and we cannot fit anything more unless the canvas expands or the very loose Fuck Spez Coalition lends us more space.
