I'll think if the default view can show how it works in a more intuitive way. Perhaps moving faster than the actual time can help. Actually, the page can already do what you ask. There is a digital clock in the form under the dial. The

There are several presets and controls to create other layouts. You can set 11 or 13 hour markers yourself and see how it looks. The controls on the page are simple, with only one number and a few toggles. But those are enough to create al

I hope that this shifts the Overton window toward discussion about banning facebook, twitter and instagram. They play a major role in exacerbating the divisions in the society and the rising suicide rate. Those domestic platforms do a bette

I ignore games that require connectivity or have purchases that can be done more than once. One-time purchase to remove ads or to unlock levels is fine. Anything else hints that the game would be manipulative trash. It's nice that iOS

Tipping also creates more space to display your bias. A customer can give zero tip for certain demographics and deny their wage. By the way, as a fresh immigrant I nearly never tipped. I'd do this only if the service was exceptional. T

This means more investment into technologies that lock down a general computer and give continuous surveillance and control to the maker. Likely those restrictions will creep out of this low-cost niche to the rest of PC ecosystem. Installi

Yeah, the conventions of nixpkgs are a much bigger obstacle than the language syntax. The language lacks static typing. Also, it is a common convention to create attribute sets crafted for logic that has indirect hard-to-follow links to mod
