It's not about that, it's about "% per 100k" making no sense as a unit. It's either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you've clearly messed something up and don't quite understand what you're actually talking about.

Here we go, the app is now public on Github and has its first release that can be installed on Windows and Linux! https://github.com/roschlau/catana

The app is now in a state where it can technically be used, although lots of important features are still missing before it can be considered anywhere near production-ready, that's gonna be a long march. I'll keep chipping away on it :)

I mean, for most people I'd wager that "degoogling" is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that's probably an okay tradeoff to make for many

the quality of Lego bricks is far superior to any of their competitors

That is flat out wrong. It was true a couple of years ago, but things have changed rapidly recently.

Lego's quality has dropped quite a bit in the last 40 years, while some competitors have caught up and superseded. Sure, it's still mostly pretty good, but things like brittle brown or the lime bionicle joints should be ample evidence that Lego is by far not infallible.

And if you look at the quality of current day bricks - Lego is having huge consistency issues, especially when it comes to certain colors, but also the bricks themselves. Running over the flat back of my Tudor Corner with a fingernail reveals inconsistencies in the width of regular bricks. Huge visible mold marks are everywhere. These issues were much less present 40 years ago, and high-quality competitors like Pantasy or Lumibricks are currently outcompeting Lego on basically every quality metric (except maybe glossy tile surfaces), at half the price.

Bluebrixx is still somewhat hit-or-miss when it comes to quality. If you want to see the best and most consistent stuff out there, give Pantasy or Lumibricks (previously Funwhole) a shot!

Kids will do stupid things sometimes, no avoiding that. In Germany you can pass a stopped bus on the other side of the road, but if it has its hazards on, you can't go faster than walking speed.

Then it would've been "against her brother" though, not "against my brother"

not want your partner to cheat

IMO cheating is by definition something your partner does not want. Defining cheating as a certain set of actions that everyone agrees on independent of the relationship is a dead end. If you instead define cheating as "knowingly violating your partner's boundaries" (and make sure to talk about those boundaries!), everything becomes so much easier

That, and also, it's a very straightforward, narrow-scoped functionality. LLMs are pretty good with that kind of thing. It's complexity they struggle with

Syntax is a little different though, the above wouldn't complete

I'll do that for sure! Just gotta build it out a little more first, it's too early right now to start inviting contributions. The core structures of the app are still changing too much for that to not just end up in chaos

 

The Brickfilming community has taken it upon themselves to recreate the entire Lego Movie, scene for scene, in stop motion, in celebration of the movie's ten year anniversary! Last Wednesday, the project was officially announced and a first trailer released, and we're extremely proud of what we've already achieved so far. It's an ambitious project, but we have lots of fantastically skilled people on it, and it's shaping up nicely :)
