for me the ripple design wasn’t even a problem, but i dread the days i have to wash something that had cooked meat in them with that plastic.

yes there is a warning but still no guide, not in the popup, nor in the association setup to tell what things mean

worry about users not being able to open files after renaming them since you can also edit those extensions via text, and people aren’t taught about file association.

the main idea behind the blockade is that Facebook implementing ActivityPub can easily overwhelm any instance small enough in infrastructure through the sheer amount of traffic that such connection would have on the rest of the Fediverse (case and point, the occasional waves of Twitter users moving to Mastodon), and with fewer instances it can get easier for the company to take advantage of that to take over the network and make it monopolized again.

edit: i didn’t read your comment properly, i thought that was lacking context. sorry x.x

edit 2: https://lemmy.ca/post/11771031 someone else shared this thread, it’s an interesting and important read

thank you ^^

i see now. thank you

the image doesn’t match at all with the actual website even though the individual entries in the picture are accurate.

the entire list is mixed half-and-half across the board, with slight bias to Federated status. still a long way to go.

i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

• Celeste
• OneShot
• Rythm Doctor
• Terraria (has android ver.)
• A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
• MiniMetro (has android ver.)
• ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
• StuntRally
• Mindustry (has android ver.)
• HyperRogue (has android ver.)
• SuperMeatBoy
• Don’t Starve
• Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
• Sky Rogue
• SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.

for future reference, it’s even more convenient to use when you know to change GUI scale settings to configure them to align with the physical space

the “just don’t do it” argument ignores the problem. it’s like replying “just don’t buy Apple products” to people complaining about right to repair. the key part is that regular people won’t know beforehand until they need to notice. by that point, it’s profitable enough to show other companies like Samsung and Motorolla that restrictions are profitable, so jumping around brands will also never work when the intention is to have your phone for a long time.

back in the context of game dev, add that to the part where not only people don’t anticipate the retroactive changes of a license they have to rely on when choosing an engine, but there’s the added weight of having to learn an entirely new library and oftentimes even an entire new programming language, so you have to commit to it if you want to make a commercial product or else you risk losing literal years of development just from rewriting the same thing over and over.

not to say that there’s a reason why a lot of people chose Unity. Godot may be in development since 2014 but they are still relatively new in popularity. not only they have less total instructions resources from the community due to it obviously being smaller than Unity’s, but people also look for already known games as one of the first factors when choosing something, which is something Godot is still catching up on. knowing legal jargon to even comprehend the difference between free and proprietary is the least of their worries when someone wants to jump into game development and build stuff with it.

classic mistake when writing a reply bot

the tracking of pirated copies is even more fucked up. is that their way of imposing that “piracy = stealing”?

fyi KRunner is also in the default main menu’s search bar btw :3

i like it that KRunner on KDE does that out of the box too, except that it doesn’t connect to the internet as a first suggestion, so it’s an upgrade :3

K-On! is pretty safe. mostly just a wholesome slice-of-life to vibe to.

i’m pondering wether i should argue for Re:Zero on the list or nah. it does feature some very bad relationships caused by the protagonist, but it isn’t pictured as anything positive… actually it’s pretty debatable in some scenes involving the character Rem, or the very last episode of season 1.

i’d rather keep my distance from No Game No Life though

there’s still some interesting parts to note in the comic. i personally like the slightly tilted view in the first panel used to emphasize the surprise of the moment for example.

that said, the original version of the comic is a fucking joke. i can’t imagine even my mother taking that one seriously x.x
