Mastodon FeedI’ve enjoyed #IXION. At its core it’s a resource management/colony survival game. However, it has a few other layers and a story that keeps things interesting. It’s a bit like Frostpunk, but with less orphans more hyperjumps.

“Amelina, 37, won the Joseph Conrad literary prize in 2021 for works including Dom’s Dream Kingdom and had been nominated for other major awards including the European Union Prize for Literature.
She largely set aside her writing after the full-scale Russian invasion of 2022, to focus on documenting war crimes and working with children on or near the frontline.”

‘For a group of people who consider themselves “survivors” of the Christian sect – some have even called it a cult – Balsbaugh’s tenure as president of Trinity, which came to an abrupt end in April, was emblematic of deeper problems within People of Praise, including an alleged culture of sweeping serious allegations of abuse against minors by some members of the faith group under the rug.’

Why did every login page become two separate pages with two 'submit' buttons (one for the username, followed by a *separate page load* just for the password)?
I dimly remember when a couple of sites started doing it, but it's *everywhere* now, and it doesn't seem like it's for any good reason. (You can just check the name and stop if it's not valid!)
It seems like one of those UI tics that every designer feels the need to ape because…Amazon does it? Idk.
Here's an idea: CUT THAT SHIT OUT.

@pzmyers Or in Spanish: that was one of the things you needed to have in order to vote during Franco's dictatorship. Basically there was an advisory council which was elected: it was one of the ways to gerrymander it so only the supporters of the regime actually had the vote.

Mastodon Feed#EV charging boggles my mind: a random person can casually connect a 900V cable capable of transferring a third of a MEGAWATT, in pouring rain — and nobody died yet. There's solid safety engineering there.

As a blind lover of crosswords, I was devastated when many of the sites disallowed or discontinued .puz outputs of their puzzles. Unfortunately, this made it impossible to solve puzzles with websites that use web solvers like the NY Times because inaccessible to screen readers. Enter xword-dl,. I've installed xword-dl on my raspberry pi, and am now happily solving the NY times crossword using the APH solver. Thanks @xor for this and
