So it's Chromium, but instead of Google having all of your data the data goes to The Browser Company and Datadog and somehow also still Google (via GCP Firebase)? And the FAQ link for why you need an Arc account goes to a missing page

This is what I've moved to lately. I like the idea of structured data but PowerShell just feels like a shell designed by people who don't really want to use a shell.

The stories in Tales From Earthsea are a lot closer to Tehanu than they are to the earlier books, for what that's worth. I get it if they're just not your thing, though; life is short and there's only so much time to read

Just brainstorming, but would it be possible to pull out the MTG-specific portions and make it just an online card game framework where people can make their own cards and rules? If people choose to use it to copy MTG that's on them (s

You may already know this, but just in case, Tehanu is no longer the last Earthsea book. It is followed by the collection Tales From Earthsea and then The Other Wind .

There appears to be an issue with the lyric matching, which I'm guessing is based on caching the previously generated lyrics for different songs with the same name. I noticed it specifically on the song "Sweet Pea" by the Tob

SuperTuxKart runs well on Android, and it will let you use the accelerometers to steer (so you just tilt the whole device like a steering wheel) which gives it a feeling a little like the Wii version of Mario Kart.

This is something I really like about Nearly Free Speech.net. Their model is that you deposit funds up front, and they will deduct from those funds as you use services. It helps that they actually are nearly free so that a single $20 deposi

That reminds me of a former coworker who wrote a paperback version of the game Nim (the math game where you remove sticks). It worked like a choose your own adventure where each possible move had a page number to jump to.

A GPIO add-on with a case instead of the original exposed circuit board is cool, but the focus on gaming seems really bizarre to me. If I want to play games I could get a color handheld for a fraction of the price that will run a much large

It can play the kind of games you had on your cell phone 20 years ago, like snake or breakout, and it does just fine at those. It's hardly worth the price just for that, though.
