Not much to say

Yeah but swish and BankID are owned by the Swedish banks and thanks to that they are not interested in partaking in many of the cross border systems as they don’t want competition in Sweden.
Sweden may be progressive in some ways but we are completely backwater when we allow the banks - who constantly get caught in laundering schemes - to control vital infrastructure.
They are also refusing to integrate their apps with “competing” id apps such as Freja. If the authorities expect them to profit from infra there needs to be regulations for these things.


Or dont get caught.


Good call. At this point the jankyness of js doesn’t pose a problem and the ones that get enticed will learn about type safety, classes etc down the line.


Mongoose solves the schema part, or typegoose is you want it to generate types on the go as well.
My problem with mongo is that I always end up realising the advantages of SQL down the line, but I guess many of those projects wouldn’t have gotten that far without mongo being so damn nice in the beginning.


If you have someone close you can trust there is probably a way to add a kiosk mode to your app and let the friend keep the password to unlock it. It could have roles about what apps, websites etc are allowed and hours.
I did very little research in it to help my brother out but I didn’t get far. I got the feeling that it’s doable even on a locked bootloader. Sorry that I don’t have more info but maybe it can set you off on the right direction.


Exactly, if there’s even the slightest risk that I’ll need to dust off the good ol ajax that’s a nope from me.


It’s like vegan meat substitutes.
Sure there are awesome vegan dishes and the substitutes taste worse than the real deal but it’s not wrong to want to interact with the culture you live in in a normalish manner.
I’ll have a af beer with my vegan hotdog and enjoy myself even though they are just substitutes.


Me and my friends used to make games on hypercard all the time, it was a blast!


One could even say it’s quite the obscure game to win awards like this…?


Yeah you can. For us it worked because we focus on different parts and then meet up, discuss and give feedback or help.
But you need to do it with someone you get along well with.


I recently started it with the caveat that I’m not allowed to pay without my brother. So he comes by once or twice per month and we go crazy for a few hours.
If I did it myself I’d lose my job.


What about ImageMagick? I feel it does deserve to stay in it’s own comic strip.


Great suggestions but pen and paper directed ä switched to a disgusting microtransactional monetisation scheme and os unplayable now.


I’m laughing constantly when playing multiplayer games with my kids. Silly party games mainly where we end up in weird interactions or just making jokes or role play about what’s happening in the game.
For single player I can’t really remember but the old monkey island and Simon the sorcerer got me laughing back in the days.
This is probably over simplified, a refinery produces anything from plastic to jet fuel and lubricants from the same crude oil batch so while the number might be correct for gasolines part in the mix, removing it from the process would likely cause some efficiency loss in the processes, and those 6kwh would not be reclaimed in full.
With that said, we need to lower dependency on all oil products.
