Has anybody played Cookie Clicker? Articles like these really give me a similar vibe as the news ticker in that game. It starts a bit innocent like “Your cookies are talked about for miles around” but you’re already on the slope to “Elder gods from the whole cosmos have awoken to taste your cookies” and the eldritch-like horrors of the Grandmapocalypse. Just a fun parallel.

I learned this recently: if you have an iPhone, pressing the lock button five times rapidly will lock it so that you need to enter a passcode, not just FaceID. Useful if you think somebody might forcibly use your face to unlock it

I do agree with you. But your sentiment applies to primary school teachers across the globe too. Children at that level are not typically taught by science teachers who are passionately against these kinds of simplifications. Those people end up teaching older children/teenages/adults who are more able to discern these differences.

My parenting style would be much more scientific than this. Though pushing it further, you could argue that it does disappear, it’s no longer visible. Though I doubt the authors of the article made that distinction

For people who don’t know, CBBC and Newsround is directed towards children. Not saying it couldn’t have been written better, of course. But it’s intentionally simplified

Actually I went to one yearly in my childhood called the Maize Maze. Not in the US though.

Me too! I’ve been having a blast with it today. It’s so much more fluid and intuitive. I already have Syncthing set up everywhere (for Logseq) so there’s been almost no friction at all.

I’m unreasonably happy about this

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

Mind blown!

I didn’t see this one yet:

apt -> nala

Though I think it’s technically just a wrapper, the colour support and formatting makes things much easier to parse (visually)

The shadow in the last panel is a great touch!

Hold shift while right clicking to bring up the old menu. I got used to it now (sigh)

old.reddit still works. Shoulda not fixed what ain’t broke

Languidge or Languahge? Petition for consistency!

I find it really depends on the brand. I have no idea what the differences really are (or even how it’s made in the first place) but in my experience around half are as you describe and half are delicious
