worry about users not being able to open files after renaming them since you can also edit those extensions via text, and people aren’t taught about file association.
On the internet, nobody knows you’re human.

the main idea behind the blockade is that Facebook implementing ActivityPub can easily overwhelm any instance small enough in infrastructure through the sheer amount of traffic that such connection would have on the rest of the Fediverse (case and point, the occasional waves of Twitter users moving to Mastodon), and with fewer instances it can get easier for the company to take advantage of that to take over the network and make it monopolized again.
edit: i didn’t read your comment properly, i thought that was lacking context. sorry x.x
edit 2: https://lemmy.ca/post/11771031 someone else shared this thread, it’s an interesting and important read
i see now. thank you
the image doesn’t match at all with the actual website even though the individual entries in the picture are accurate.
the entire list is mixed half-and-half across the board, with slight bias to Federated status. still a long way to go.
i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.
MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.
Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).
non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.
the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.
most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.
if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.
in my opinion, the key here is that asking “why?” is going to be the most important skill you can teach your kids early on. “because yes” or “because not” or “because i told so” is never a good answer, and learning to ask what moving parts there are to anything can and will open up a lot of options for things they will learn later on.
MinecraftSP.exe
that’s it, that’s the whole query back in 2010 all the way to 2014
yeah that’s fair
Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it’s useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it’s another data point for fingerprinting your browser.
it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.
¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)
the name “X” is just a bunch of pollution to other topics that happens to have something of the same name. i hate it.
do you know any ways to filter the playlist so that only songs with BY-SA shows up?
Itch.io gives the convenience. although the UI is far from good, you straight-up get the zip folders with the game itself if you download from your browser, and their launcher still adopts no drm.
as a reminder: in systems on Linux, remember to check the permissions of non executable files if you’re extracting them from a zip folder or similar, since those tends to preserve file permissions before you double-click them.
hey kid! interested in some Asset Pack V2 - The Unofficial Homestuck Collection dot zip?
to be fair, the word Mastodon was being censored on Twitter at one point, but doesn’t mean the other way happens in the Fediverse.
yes there is a warning but still no guide, not in the popup, nor in the association setup to tell what things mean
