Eh-e eh!

TIL the Victorian era wasn’t during the Middle Ages… I feel like an idiot lol. Thanks for correcting me, I’ll edit my reply :)

The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.

Basically, it’s kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.

For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I’m wrong tho.

EDIT: Not medival. I’m misremembering history (see below)

aye

Here you go!

Interesting! To me inverting the x-axis just makes sense in 3rd person games: you see the back of the head of the character so if the back of the head moves to the left your field of view should move to the right. Basically, the joystick controls the head of the character from your POV. Never thought that was uncommon!

GameCube controllers controlled the camera by using buttons and not two thumbsticks

Played a bit of GameCube a few months ago and that’s definitely wrong — the c-stick isn’t great but it’s very much used for camera controls — however the rest of the article seems pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

TL;DW from my vague memories:

Oracle got the trademark for JavaScript because they bought the company who made it. Now they have no involvement in the JavaScript ecosystem aside from making a library that barely anyone is using. The JavaScript standard has to refer to JavaScript as ECMAScript because Oracle doesn’t want anything to do with it and won’t allow other people to use the JavaScript name.

The Node.JS/Done guy says that’s stupid and had been requesting Oracle to release the trademark into the public domain for years which Oracle had always ignored/refused. More recently, Node.JS/Deno guy took Oracle to court for holding onto the JavaScript copyright with no intention of doing anything with it which ended in failure with Oracle claiming they’re involved in the ecosystem thanks to that one library they made.

The guy who created JavaScript agrees that’s stupid but can’t help.

IIRC I had to keep xsettingsd running in the background for my system GTK theme to be applied to Flatpak apps so maybe that’s what you need?

I’ve tried both and ~/.local/bin tends to be used by a bunch of tools to install their own binaries/scripts so depending on what you use it can become very messy (which did happen in my case). I used to have a ~/Documents/Scripts directory in my $PATH and that was much cleaner than my current setup so that’s what I’d recommend, especially if you want to use Git with it! :)

Make sure that your device is not ‘rooted’. If the operating system is an Android variant (also called a ‘custom ROM’), such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience, then the wero app can’t be installed for security reasons.

(cf. https://support.wero-wallet.eu/hc/en-us/articles/25599098295313-I-m-seeing-this-error-message-Your-device-does-not-meet-our-security-requirements)

I can’t use it but it looks neat! I hope these companies will one day realise that requiring the user’s device to be an opaque jail controlled by a usually foreign third-party isn’t good security practice :/
