I've come across "diagram" in translations from Chinese weiqi sources, but I'm not sure what is meant by this. Would the usual term in English be something like game record/kifu, opening patterns/fuseki, patterns generally or an idea that's not got an easy translation?

It's apparently translated in Chinese-English Dictionary of Weiqi Terms but I don't have access to that.

I absolutely loved my Amiga back in the day, and we had a few throughout my childhood home.

What are the things I need to know about to geek around today? I see there's multiple emulators (some free, some not - are they official?), and I assume there's places with old ROMs of the games and software I used to use, like Zool, SWIV, Cannon Fodder, Skidmarks, Speedball 2, Deluxe Paint, etc, etc.

Share your retro wisdom with me!

I imagine the devs have stats on uninstalls - I wonder what they show.

So many don't understand that the mods need those tools, and don't care about people who need the accessibility (although I suspect that argument is popular more for having the moral high ground).

[they] didn’t do anything wrong I just didn’t agree with them

And that's why it's disabled! That's not what it's meant to be for, it's meant to be for things that don't add to the conversation. If it's factually wrong then fine - downvote, but don't do it to suppress others' opinions.

I noticed one of the Lemmy instances recommending everyone change their settings to use 'hot' by default in their site rules sidebar. Makes sense, the many instances look a lot more lively that way.

You're a few ahead of me on the re-read; Lords and Ladies is my next one. I'm taking my time though, I started in 2019.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

I'm still on Goodreads but it's so slow, the app's just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want.

What's the alternative? Obviously we're on the fediverse and I see people talking about Bookwyrm.

I used Anobii till 2010 and I can't remember why I left but it's still there. I've poked StoryGraph a bit but it was lacking several of the books I wanted to add.

There must be more! What do you use/recommend?

The light and auto-shutoff have both stopped working

I'm not sure I'd call that going strong 😅

Reducing the font-size makes it look pretty great.

I was thinking this the other day. Without having read the spec, it seems like mirroring should be fairly straightforward - but then once an instance has gone down, how do the users find which mirror is promoted to the new main? Or should the mirrors be treated like backups, and just used to populate a new community on whatever instance is chosen (and then mirror from the new source)?

Wiktionary gives him the invention credit (although its source does seem to be KnowYourMeme).

As noted, this is an old article. You can install the plugin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/

I just tried it on https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie and it's definitely good enough to be usable, although it has translated the top story as "What the new data glasses from Apple can". Google Translate's version is almost the same for most of it, although it gets "can do" right.

It initially recognised that it could translate feddit.de but seems to have stopped now. Hmm.

Anyway, even though German->English is a pretty easy test given that English is a Germanic language, I'm happy to leave it installed and test it in the wild.

Bitwarden is open source (server, plugin and app) and can be self-hosted so it's not centralised in any way that matters.

Also, I think an honest freemium offering is the best way to do it - have those that are willing/able to pay subsidise those who aren't. It doesn't have to be a slippery slope, and that's not exactly common in the open-source world. After all, you can just fork it and go your own way if you're not happy. Also, running servers isn't free, and being able to remunerate the devs a little is no small thing.

So, in summary, use Bitwarden. You can set up your own server and install the plugin/app yourself if you want.
