Actually, they seem to be launching into a new phase of compatibility, with a version 2 component set being discussed on their website that has much broader capabilities.

You seem to be attributing additional meaning to the word “forcing” in this context. It’s simply the act of inserting something where it doesn’t belong or doesn’t quite work, i.e. not forcing it upon the reader’s brain (or beaming it into their skull), but forcing it into the sentence. It’s the same construction that you would use when saying “forcing a square peg into a round hole”.
It’s not a character in the modern English alphabet and is only used nowadays in Icelandic, so I think “forcing” is totally appropriate.
Yep, you said forcing it “everywhere”, not forcing it on you, which I think is completely appropriate.

3·4 months agoI turned both and felt the results from Ecosia weren’t as useful. I’ve been using Qwant for a few months now. Qwant also has the bonus of being one character away from Qwantz.com, one of my favourite websites.

5·5 months agoI’d also recommend The Talos Principle and The Turing Test for similar itch scratches.
The Man in the High Castle has a pretty good take on this.

35·6 months agoIreland isn’t bad from a basic survival perspective - massive food surplus and plenty of water - but if we wanted to maintain current living standards, I think we would fall down on power as it stands currently. Plenty of natural wind and tidal power resources that are underutilised.

Games@lemmy.world•Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming ExpoEnglish
1·6 months agoIf you remember the “glory days” pre ubiquitous constant internet connections, you had to enter a big long code when installing any software. I think the principle is that the license key is some sort of decryption key that unlocks a core part of the software which would otherwise prevent it running.

1·6 months agoI wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)
Yeah I figured there weren’t enough keys but couldn’t tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.
How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?
A Softer World is defunct now, unfortunately, so all their comics would have predated the LLM apocalypse we find ourselves in.

2·6 months agoThat’s funny, I’m doing the exact same thing. Got credits on BP and then started into CO. I don’t think I’ll go for the full puzzle experience with BP, I’ve had my fill.
I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone getting notified by their pharmacy that their meds are out of stock? (US)
5·7 months agoThis is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I’ve never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They’re usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.

I had this just last night and didn’t realise. Everything else was working fine, but then I glanced at my phone and realised that it was 2 hours later than the computer was showing.
