The flashcards feature of this makes it seem super useful for language learning. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support non-English languages? At least on iOS, the OS has built-in dictionary support for a huge variety of languages.

Maybe slightly off topic, but - looking at this mouse, the shape it has overall is exactly what I'm looking for ergonomically (not vertical, but slightly more slanted). Are there mice like this that have 3+ side buttons instead of a tr

This is correct yeah, there's a lot of effort involved in porting mods to newer versions. Larger mods slowly move in that direction, but at the end of the day even now people are playing modpacks from 1.12 because there simply aren&#x2

Many people still run on older modded versions. To use the example you gave, HarvestCraft 2's CurseForge page[0] says: > Welcome to the brand new HarvestCraft for 1.14.4 and beyond! Please read carefully as this is NOT a update of

This might be the rationale, but it's fundamentally very wrong. In the vast majority of "programming/tech discussion/help" spaces I frequent, the response to this is almost always going to be: "Maybe, ask your

Wow, glad I saw this - it explains a lot. Went to go and try to play an AC game again after giving up a year or two ago and couldn't figure out my login details. Guess this is (maybe?) why. Can't find a deletion email though, so i
