Just through your comment I found out that they have different screenshots for all their localization settings. Cool!

I just checked (in CoMaps): A restaurant around the corner is listed as "Pizza, Vegan, no wheelchair access, outdoor seating". No opening hours, though (but other places have).

> I decided to try something that would probably work: I copied the code from the magazine into Notepad and saved the file as .exe instead of .txt.

Exactly my first attempt to "convert to .exe" as well :) Browsing through C:\DOTS, I discovered qbasic.exe (a QuickBasic variant without a compiler) and wanted to "compile" (as I now know is the right term) my first, wonky five-liner.

Through this article, I guess I am one of today's lucky 10k to learn about anchor links to text like https://vale.rocks/posts/game-console-browsers#:~:text=SurfE...

To me, these reflections upon my aggressive and violent behavior in a game are much more impactful than games that put me into dilemma situations, where you are already presented with a nicely arranged moral problem in the moment.

These are two distinct techniques and I feel the latter almost always failed to impress me much, while the first one is where I feel caught, even shocked by myself and the cold-bloodiness to (virtually) follow any suggestion to kill.

I understand that you want the location of the photo and not the location of the user uploading that photo, but given that both are identical in many cases, getting the location with the regular geolocation API might be an acceptable solution that is also transparent to the user.

Show a location picker with the user's current location and the option to select an alternative location. Not as smooth as using EXIF data, but doable.

I am SO close to switch to Android to buy and properly use a Pebble watch. I love the hacker attitude, the retro tech, the quirkyness.

Seeing them introducing One More Thing on the other side of the spectrum, deep in big-corp, locked down, consumerist throwaway territory makes me reevaluate that.

I guess they might overestimate the fanboyness of their clientele. I hope enough people find this as laughable as I do and ignore this.

I got an Amstrad PCW handed down to me from my dad as my first PC around the same time.

Booted always with disk 1 and that was Locoscript and learned typing on that thing.

When I discovered there is a second disk that boots you in some dark and hidden alternative mode (read: CP/M) I felt like a hacker.

Hidden inside this cave was the only program the manual mentioned in this section: Logo! I did not know that my PC could display anything except characters and it was. so. amazing. to see self-drawn lines on that thing.

I would say Telegram is communicating their level of encryption pretty good ("client-to-client" and "client-to-server" is a good way to avoid the ambiguity of e2e).

"All information should be free"

"Mistrust authority—promote decentralization"

("A hackers ethic" in Levy, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, 1984)

I think it fits.

snibbetracker is an example of a C/SDL iOS app. <1MB from the app store which is really wild. https://apps.apple.com/de/app/snibbetracker/id1065797528

In the Left/Right menu in mc, you can select FTP, SFTP and SSH URLs to browse. Is this not what you mean?
