Uneducated or monolingual would work better.

You mean in 2021 HTML5 was barely supported by browsers? Adobe ended support for Flash Player on 31th December 2020.

For comparison, the original HTML5 W3C recommendation was retired in 2018 and even Version 5.3 was retired less than a month after Flash Player was retired.

“Don’t have to grift” and “Don’t grift” are two very different things.

If you keep getting into relationships with crappy people, that it might not be because everyone is crappy, but because that’s what you subconsciously look for.

• One bad relationship: Bad luck.
• Only bad relationships (especially if you keep getting into the same crappy relationship with different people): The problem is with you, you are subconsciously looking for people like that.

This must be that higher male military standard Hegseth was talking about.

Don’t know or care about formalism here. But from a common point of view, that is just some pedantic bullshit (even if true at all) because when we say “dinosaur” we always mean animals from millions of years ago. Same level of annoyance as those crazies who claim that “water isn’t wet”.

Birds are dinosaurs like a lion is a cat. When we say “cat” wie also always mean a felis catus, but that doesn’t change the fact that a lion is still is a cat.

Same with birds and dinosaurs. It’s not pedantic to say that birds are dinosaurs, it’s pure, basic biology. And not even advanced biology. Everyone who made it past year 6 in school should know this. Lack of education is nothing to be proud of.

Vögel sind eine Unterart der Dinosaurier. Damit bestehen Dinonuggets tatsächlich aus echten Dinosauriern.

It’s a teaching hospital, so they don’t (entirely) rely on the regular patient-funded system common in the USA.

House’s reputation can totally help with funding.

Totally! If I got cancer free and then a simple and quick cure for cancer came out, I’d obviously wish that that came out earlier, but one would have to be a royal asshole to with that others suffered and died because one had to suffer as well.

If this is a one-time event it’s hardly the solution to the problem. Education should be free or close to free in general.

If that’s the case, things suddenly look different. Even only if e.g. state schools are free.

In my country the tuition fee for a state university is around €30 per semester, and that doesn’t even go to the university but to fund the student governing body (not sure what’s the right translation for the term).

This means, that everyone can get a quality education even if they are poor. In fact, most people I went to university with funded their flat/student accomodation and food with a part-time job while going to university. No debts or financial assistance needed.

This doesn’t cover private universities, but (a) the difference in quality and reputation isn’t relevant and (b) free public universities means that private universities are also somewhat price capped if they want to stay competitive.

Chris Roberts isn’t too far of, but Molyneux certainly takes the crown.

“I’m Mary Poppins, yall!”

That’s not really true. You can do animation in HTML5 just like you could in flash. In fact, there are even quite a few ways you can acomplish the same.

• HTML5 + JS
• CSS + JS
• There are multiple flash player projects running in WASM or JS
• Animated SVG + JS

All of that allows for animation, games and interactivity, no problem.

There are dozens of tools that allow you to build flash-like animation and package it easily. Tons of game engines allow to export to HTML5, just at the press of a button. And there are still websites hosting browser games that fill that spot. There’s even HTML5 browser games that run in VR.

But there are two big caveats:

• With much more performance, storage and internet bandwidth, there’s no reason to go for flash-style skeletal animations. That’s not because it’s not possible, but because we have better alternatives.
• Nobody hosts their own websites anymore and most platforms (large ones like Youtube, Facebook or Reddit, but also small ones like Lemmy) don’t allow you to just upload whatever HTML5 code you want. So if you want to reach more people, you’ll just upload a video instead.

That’s basically Wolverine

I could imagine something like Sidequest happening on Android.

Danke, muss ich es wohl verwechselt haben.

Not really. There are quite a few of structures you can make with gotos that can’t directly be translated into functions. Sure, you can implement any functionality in any programming paradigm, but it might require much more work than to just replace goto with a function call.

So now 3rd party app stores need an ADB loopback to work around that.

Not hard to do, but uselessly annoying.
