@thepaperpilot um... it looks like kbin.social doesn't federate with incremental.social and i can't subscribe to it yet?

oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

i'm a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
i don't have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
hopefully developers will add a "join Matrix room" button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i'll actually finish it now that there's a community i can share it with.

Without Microsoft, TypeScript would not exist.

I'm not sure you are aware, but TypeScript is not the first language to compile to JavaScript.

Without TypeScript, people would have adopted a different JS transpiler, one that isn't controlled by a monopolistic corporation with a history of extinguishing open source projects.

It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

I asked you to not conflate cops that kill innocent people with EMTs that save people and your response is to conflate cops that kill innocent people with women and children in ukraine? Really?

You don't need to develop a callous to gruesome scenes if you don't cause gruesome scenes.

"unfortunate situation that they can not change" except by not driving over people at 70mph.

Don't conflate cops with EMTs. The job of EMTs is to save lives.

Stockholm Syndrome isn't a real thing.

“Stockholm Syndrome” was invented by police to discredit a female hostage

If the prime minister told me "You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post" I wouldn't trust the authorities either. Being a bank teller shouldn't mean you have to die for your employer or for the police.

I've never used inoreader, but Wikipedia lists it as "Freemium". It's not FOSS

Yup. From the article:

Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.

Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.

Britain paid reparations to the slaveowners and their descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
The last check went out in 2015. So yes, people alive today benefited from this. directly.
If they want to make it fair, they should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved people and/or take back the money they gave to slaveowners.

I haven't tried thrive in a while. I hear they've switched engines again, to Godot this time. Is it playable? Is it fun? Do they have more than the single-cell phase?

The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?
