Some people have an arrow on top of their head, and when you approach them there is a dialog balloon with "...". If you click on them they give you a task.

Thanks

Have you compared this to using lua in lualatex?

You are comparing the regulation of business practices to the breach of human rights. Do you also think your water company should be allowed to poison the water coming from your tap?


>You are comparing the regulation of business practices to the breach of human rights.

So "you're either with us or on the side of the bad guys" is a valid form of argument, but only when the bad guys are evil corporations? More to the point, much of the "regulations" proposed does end up infringing on human rights. For instance regulations forcing social media companies to remove "disinformation" or "content causing hatred/discomfort" necessarily limits others' freedom of speech.


> folding naturally implies a doubling.

Why is that? I can imagine doing two folds on a sheet of paper and ending up with three layers of paper. Imo one fold adds one layer.


> Most Europeans had access to Paypal-style money transfers before they had email.

Bank transfers were not instant though, they usually took a work day. This is changing with the introduction of instant transfers, which become mandatory to support this year, and are also not allowed to be more expensive since this year also.


But the merchant got a signal that the money is on the way, so it was quick enough for them to sent out the package.


> The majority of young adults there completes one.

Are you sure about this? Your quoted article only has data from >20 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if nowadays more people study at university than do an apprenticeship


Combining both is also pretty common in my experience. People frist do an apprenticeship, then, for example because their employment situation changed, they go to university. There are ways for a apprenticeship to qualifiy one to go for university.

In 2024, according to the "Bundesinstituts für Berufsbildung" 486,700 people started their apprenticeship [0]. In the same period (2024-2025) 490,304 people started their first semester at university/college, according to the "Statistisches Bundesamt" [1].

So you are right, theres more new students than apprentices, but its not by a lot.

Based on my experience and not hard data: Not most, but still quite a few. Some jobs more or less require an apprenticeship (carpenter and other handy jobs). Doing an apprenticeship for a job and afterwards going to university also happens a lot


Is there any way to get this to run in a browser? I get until the point where the GUI starts up (without a modem though), but then I cannot move the cursor.


You can use the 1440demo.img with the floppy image option on https://copy.sh/v86/#setup


So, the excess energy in your model is just excreted? Does that also happen in the human body?


Yes. On the other spectrum, the body becomes more efficient when moving a lot.


> User tracking and fingerprinting has moved server side.

This smells like a misconception of the GDPR. The GDPR is not about cookies, it is about tracking. You are not allowed to track your users without consent, even if you do not use any cookies.


Login is tracking, even when login is functional, not for tracking.

Laws are analyzed by lawyers and they will err on side of caution, so you end up with these notices.


Cookies and crossdomain tracking is slightly different to a login. Login would occur on one platform and would not track you when you go on to amazon or some porn site or read infowars. But crossdomain cookies do not need auth and they are everywhere because webmasters get paid for adding them, they track you everywhere.


Tic-tac-toe certainly can end in a draw though...
