It's the same reason why U-M B-N is human being

I think you guessed right. It could be phrased more clearly but I think they were just pointing out that since your comment is partially censored and your instance is known for word filter censoring, in their opinion your instance is not suitable for commenting properly. Maybe they wanted to inform you in case you didn't notice or it was just a dig at lemmy.ml.

It's not good for readability when random parts of text gets removed. I'm not familiar with the topic of this thread so I can't deduce what Raremoved even means.

I think it's just that raremoved part. Which comment didn't make sense?

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn't reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn't benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don't really do much baking so I don't know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

The idea I had was just so ridiculously evil I just had to teil about it πŸ˜„

If you think about it the rock and tape hack can be easily prevented, but I'm not going to elaborate any further as to not give them more ideas.

So even if someone came up with a system whereby they expected you to watch an ad before the power would flow, you could always just plug in and walk away. How are they going to know you’re physically there?

How about a button located near the ad screen and speaker that you have to hold like at least 80% of ad duration. If you failed to reach 80% it would reset to 0 and show you another ad so you can try again.

You mean collage? I agree. I think your suggestion would work best if it was also made to look like an obvious collage. If it was accurately photoshopped to look like the penguins were actually there it would look silly.

I played it occasionally but, as you said, it wasn't very interesting game for young children. I guess it was interesting only subconsciously (the vivid dreams I mentioned in the other comment). Maybe it would have been fun game if I were an adult at the time.

We didn't really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn't very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn't fully understand the gameplay and can't really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn't played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don't know why I even tried it that many times.

I didn't really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I've had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don't really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don't know if they have the game anywhere or if it's possible to emulate via MAME.

Would you agree that man page with good example section of common use cases would better serve the purpose or do you think there has to be separate tool to show only a short summary of the manual?

 

Although Linux is just used to run superior OS in VM. Same as using Internet Explorer to download Firefox.

 

There seems to be many lemmy apps available. I already tried few apps though I don't even know where to find most of the others. Instead of trying every single one of them I'd like to know if there's anything similar to RIF. Here's some key features of RIF:

  • Simple. Mostly text and no complicated UI elements.
  • Information density. I can see a list of eight posts on my screen. Again, it's just text with no UI decorations.
  • One handed browsing. As I hold my phone with right hand I can easily access both linked url and comments of a post with my right thumb (buttons on right side of the screen).
  • Comment navigation. This is not as important but in larger threads it's useful to navigate between parent comments.

If there's nothing similar available, maybe these could be added to an existing implementation. I could even try to help as I am programmer, though I don't know much about mobile app development.
