Star Stuff is a deceptively cute programming puzzle game. Program and work alongside bots to tackle the most important (and undoubtedly safest) task in the galaxy: fixing a star factory.

Ready for your first day on the job? Join Mija, a brand-new star engineer, as they take on over 150 mind-bending factory puzzles. Making stars isn't as easy as you might think, but you aren't alone! Your work in the factory is supported by a variety of bots with many different capabilities. Some bots are able to lift heavy objects, and some can solve complex problems with lasers - which is a pretty enviable skill. Just make sure you keep your goggles on.

I think that the last article said that Apple didn't officially comment because this new bullshit law forbids them from even acknowledging the request even exists and we only know about it from whistleblowers. Because of that I assume every other major provider has already received the same request (or will do soon) and they also are not allowed to tell us.

I'm no fan of Apple but at least they've got the balls to tell the government to fuck off, I wonder how many of the others will just roll over and give them their backdoor.

By hacking the NES emulator inside Animal Crossing – while running on a GameCube emulator – decrazyo managed to run the PC version of Tetris at a mind-numbing 30 seconds per frame

This is insane in so many ways, serious respect

Typing it starting with an @ doesn't resolve for me but !fediversenews@venera.social does

I think if you have play services installed then apps which want to talk to it still can (even with GrapheneOS sandboxing) even with network permission denied. I believe it's just how all apps behave (not a special play services privilege), but I can't remember if I read it on the GrapheneOS FAQ or just in some random comment.

Do you guys not use the case it came with?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Probably a technical consideration (like what if they have an edit timestamp which would allow a dedicated person to find all the comments unlinked at the exact same time), a personal consideration (what if you actually want that information purged as thoroughly as possible), and a legal consideration (sounds like it violates the GDPR)

Though there are many, only one level of this game was able to be shared, as the other half-corrupted levels were not safe for viewing and caused multiple seizures to the people recovering them. Almost 20 audio files were also removed as most were too disturbing for listening, including a 32-minute-long file of several children screaming.
