  • I grew up in Russia and it’s sometimes so mindboggling that people don’t know their way around digital piracy. It may sound bad, but I actually think that it’s the only thing that can keep the market healthy. I pay for games, movies, books and whatever else there is purely because I like them. And if I don’t like the content you made, you are getting no money. If I have to pay for it before judging it’s value, what insentive does the producer of the content have to make it actually good?

    It’s very configurable. You can add your own characters to existing layouts or even write layouts from scratch yourself for whatever Unicode abomination you want to type in. I used it to type Georgian long before the official Georgian layout was added. Pretty cool stuff.

    Nah, not really, þ was used for both sounds throughout the history. Reviving this thing would make sense with a letter eth (ð), assigning one sound for each, as in “wið/boþ”, which is easier to read for language learners. But the person above clearly just wants to be fancy.










  • The instance I’m using (programming.dev) offers five custom UIs and they are mostly available under subdomains by the first letter of the UI name:
    Tesseract (t.programming.dev)
    Photon (p.programming.dev)
    Alexandrite (a.programming.dev)
    Mlmym (old.programming.dev, because this one tries to mimic old Reddit UI)
    Voyager (v.programming.dev)

    Makes sense to use a lower level domain for that, I think.
