FAQ

I live in Jamaica/Canada/Honduras/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now I cnat spel amymor!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on thoughts and prayers, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Cuba/Canada/Belize/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my coffee is cold!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on two ducks and a tube of lube, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Colombia/Canada/Belize/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now the Internet is full of cats!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Barbados/Canada/Mexico/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now I can't find my glasses!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on faith, trust and pixie dust, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Belize/Canada/Ecuador/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now I got an ID-10t message!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Niue/Canada/Haiti/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now Chrome is eating all my RAM!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on the misery of others, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Changes since last week

  • Ported some of the styling changes from the Google Docs to the inline tables.

FAQ

I live in Honduras/Canada/Nicaragua/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my computer is making a weird noise!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on dQw4w9WgXcQ, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

FAQ

I live in Belize/Canada/Bolivia/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now Microsoft support won't take my calls anymore!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on WAAAGH!, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Kbin Usability Pack 0.4.5 - Bookmarks in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It seems like it’s triggering a reload every time it’s scrolled into view. Might be related to changes in Kbin lately or it’s just my sloppy code. I’ll try to look into it tomorrow.

Edit: This should be fixed in 0.4.4

Filing a patent means little to nothing for a company like Apple regarding future consumer products. All it likely means is that a patent engineer managed to throw something together outside existing prior art that they could file. Maybe they will do something with it, maybe they won't. If they do, they will have a patent portfolio that will hopefully give them some legal protection from patent trolls and competitors that will attempt to block them.

Oh, I haven't tested that actually. I can look into it. Does it work when you're browsing in Safari?

Edit: It seems like Safari extensions are disabled on iOS/iPadOS in PWA mode. Password managers work, but ad blockers, userscripts e.t.c. do not. Maybe my Google-fu is just weak, but I couldn't find much information about it other than what I see myself when testing on my own device. I'll keep looking, but if you find something yourself, please give me a shout.

Reddit kills awards and coins in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So first they alienate the people who are working for them for free and then they go ahead and alienate the people who are giving them money for free.

Reddit is replacing / modifying the Reddit gold feature, what are your thoughts ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

So they have a bunch of users that have been freely paying them money for virtual coins that you can literally only use to display a few pixels of a gif next to a comment.

Their absolute genius move towards profitability is then to forcibly stop making these people give them free money and also erase those virtual coins that they spent money on with absolutely no compensation whatsoever. Not even a shitty award or literally anything at all.

It's funny, I'm not sure if I should actually be impressed that they are not engaging in any marketing dark pattern whatsoever; they are just straight up alienating the people who were until now been practically giving them money for doing nothing.

I guess it depends on how this "Data Protection Review Court" actually functions in practice. What is written on paper doesn't seem to really matter much to US agencies so we'll see how strong these safeguards actually are.

Nevertheless, it's good to see that the new agreement is finally in place at least. We've had this legal vacuum for years now and it was completely unsustainable in the long run. Sans a complete legal overhaul of the nonexistent privacy laws in the US (hah good luck with that), this is probably the best we could hope for now.

So for some reason the inlined tables didn't format at all in this post. I'm generating them automatically, so I have no idea why they didn't work this time. Probably some project that contained some invalid character in the name or description.

The Google Docs still works however. Meanwhile, I'm gonna see if I can find what the issue could be.

Edit: It seems like there's a bug in Kbin that somehow breaks the tables (even when posting to a Lemmy instance). Until that is fixed, I guess the Google Docs will have to do, sadly.

Kbin Usability Pack 0.4.5 - Bookmarks in c/[email protected]

Thanks!

  1. They are stored in local storage (essentially cookies) as "kup-bookmarks". You're right, since it's only stored locally on your device, they won't sync between different devices. Potentially, I could try to add a way to at least export the bookmarks, but that would be quite an extensive amount of work to do. As it is now, see it more as temporary "read it later" list than a full-blown permanent archive of articles.

Note that removing bookmarks will also remove them from local storage, so there shouldn't be any trace left behind. Disabling the bookmarks feature will however currently not empty the bookmarks list (it essentially just hides the button), so for maximum privacy, you might want to remove all bookmarks before disabling it if that is a concern. I'll probably add a button to the settings panel to clear the bookmarks later.

  1. That should hopefully be fixed now in 0.4.2!

I've moved the bookmarks menu button to the mobile menu for smaller devices. Tap the hamburger menu to access it.

Not 100% optimal perhaps, but I couldn't figure out a better solution.

Does disabling the bookmark menu in settings fix the issue? It’s probably related to the extra toolbar button making the toolbar too wide on smaller devices.

I’ll look into it.
