If you want to improve significantly, go read someone else's code and modify it. Try to fix a bug in a program you use, add a feature you want that doesn't exist already, or even just do something simple for the sake of proving to yourself that you can do it -- like compiling it from source and figuring out how to change some small snippet of text in a message box. Even if you don't succeed, if you put in a serious effort attempting it, you will almost certainly learn a lot from trying.

Edit: changed wording to try to be clearer

I don't know what other systems do, but text-to-speech on my computer reads it as "with a shirt that says (pause) emo skull (pause) the dialogue reads..."

Aww, I'm not trying to stomp anyone. :(

I was just curious if it was actually the full list and before I knew it I'd spent 45 minutes checking Pokemon names to figure out what was missing, so I figured I'd share the corrections.

If Kolanaki got that close just from memory, that's pretty impressive! I had to look it up!

That's pretty good! But... that's only 147. :-)

Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂ are separate and you're missing Nidorina, Nidoqueen, and also Rhydon.

Some other corrections:

  • Pigeotto -> Pidgeotto
  • Ninetails -> Ninetales
  • Diglit -> Diglett
  • Primape -> Primeape
  • Duouo -> Doduo
  • Cloysyer -> Cloyster
  • Ghastly -> Gastly
  • Electrabuzz -> Electabuzz
  • Gyrados -> Gyarados
  • Omantyte -> Omanyte
  • Arodactyl -> Aerodactyl

(Yes, I looked it up. No, I have no life. :p)

Cheers!

IIRC, Mozilla doesn't ship Firefox with DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) enabled by default in most countries -- and I think it only does Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) if DoH is enabled.

From LibreWolf's website:

By default DoH is not enabled in LibreWolf.

I assume that also disables ECH by default.

Is this for game consoles only, or would stuff like experimenting with similar looking (low-poly) art techniques on modern computers be acceptable there as well?

That requires turning every read into a write -- which is slow/expensive generally. (That might not matter much for Google -- who try to record everything you ever do already, basically -- but it matters for everyone else.)

Also, it tends to promote spam and offensive niche content. kbin's got a sidebar that tries to promote random low activity communities and posts, for example, and it's almost uncanny how much crap it pushes up...

Personally, I prefer it when people do one of the following:

  • upload the file to catbox.moe and link it here (for clips up to 200MB)
  • upload the file directly to their lemmy instance (if their instance allows it)
  • self-host it on their own web server (with no bullshit crappy JS interface, please -- just give me the file; I'll play it with VLC if it doesn't work in my browser)

PeerTube is also a reasonable choice -- although I don't like its UI very much.

After I finished watching the series, I discovered that there is a movie version of the story that condenses it down to <2 hours. I haven't watched it, but that might be a more approachable way for modern viewers to digest the story.

I have seen both (a long time ago), and from what I remember the movie was REALLY different -- like, almost unrecognizably different. I do not recommend substituting one for the other.

I spent a while looking thanks to your post and only found stuff from 2022 as well. My Chinese is basically non-existent though. (I can pick out a word here and there from knowing some Japanese, but that's about it.) Someone who knows Chinese might have better luck digging.

I did find this file from 2022 (14999x6982 -- ⚠️ 100+ MB PNG): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/The_geologic_map_of_the_Moon_at_1-2.5M_scale.png

Associated information (and preview): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_geologic_map_of_the_Moon_at_1-2.5M_scale.png

I assume that's the one you're referring to from 2022?

All the news stories just have low-res previews.

Is there a preview that looks different from this? I don't see a preview at all (just a picture of people at some sort of presentation) in your link -- but my browser might just not be loading it if there is one. (I generally block scripts.)

Edit: tweaked wording slightly
