Tried it. Unfortunately /way/ too laggy and unresponsive on my 2015 paperwhite.

Shared interests on small chat platforms. Discords for a niche subject replaced the old IRC channels. Twitch chats for small-medium streamers also work similarly (which was based on IRC!)

I'm just lazy and toggle airplane mode with the send-to-kindle @kindle.com email, though sometimes Amazon isn't happy and doesn't send it.

It does refresh the lockscreen ads for a month or so, though. I have a cover so they don't really bother me.

> I don’t like the “file explorer” view

Exact reason why despite having a jailbroken Kindle, I stick to the stock book browser. It's so tough to navigate on an old-gen Kindle with a low refresh rate.

Sauna and then a lukewarm shower to cool down is also great.

Interesting, my doctor recommends doing a blood panel every 5 years.

We just use `marked` currently for some light markdown rendering in a game engine. This does look like it offers much better extensibility if we ever needed that - thanks for the clarity!

How does Satteri compare to a standard library like marked (https://github.com/markedjs/marked)?

They carry it at my local HMART.

It's very interesting. Why even release a new product that underperforms at the same price level? Why not just lock it?

I guess it's probably a lot cheaper for them to run, and it cuts costs for them. Seems disingenuous, though.

I don't work as a specialist, nor at any "special" company in the tech industry, and my yearly wage increase has met or exceeded inflation. Nor has there been any layoffs at my large company.

Are you assuming yearly wages not increasing to match/exceed inflation every year?

The logical point here doesn't make much sense to me otherwise.

Clearly we need AI to generate more Sanctuary Moon seasons. Quick, spin off agentic showrunners!

Feature begging on GH has been a thing since forever, I remember plenty of it 10 years ago.

I was speaking in the sense that the base game is free and you can buy it with non-ascii graphics for a price.

However,

The "raws" that drive the game are completely configurable and accessible by a user.

It's more like the engine being closed source and the gamedata being source-available. Modding isn't quite the right word - that implies it being less open.

You can delete stuff from being present in your game, add new plants or objects, new diseases, etc.

Also related, the game has been opened up with Lua scripting thanks to Putnam's efforts, for even more powerful procedural addons.

Dwarf Fortress is a modern example of that paradigm.

Absolutely, it's just somewhat wild they got permission to build the deck.
