I (think I) remember some mazes or hallways could be generated in the shape of the swastika, but it got patched away many versions ago. Guess Evan will have to do some swastika-pruning once more.

You may not like it, but this is what peak web desiɡn looks like.

It’s happening in countries where they are rare as well.

This 👆 OOP sounds like US defaultism.

Indeed, check the picture of the original flag I posted below

Well, you can calculate the areas of blue triangles easily since they're right triangles, than just calculate pink+blue area and substract the blue area that you calculated previously, repeat for white+pink+blue.

assuming it’s a 3*6 grid

Yep

This comes off as stupid, that's for sure, but Letterboxd is so tame about its monetisation it still feels unnecessary to complain about it.

And again in a year or so only a handful of tech nerds with few social connections will actually ditch it.

Sounds like Big Cable Elf propaganda.

It can have effect when the opposition is relatively weak, e.g. individual small companies or govts that aren't powerful and authoritarian enough to ignore massive protests.

Sounds like bullshit. Just in recent memory: look at Belarus 2021, look at the massive Serbian protests that have been going on for over half a year and the govt is still not relenting.

Quite frequently I come across scanned books that are viewable for free online. For example, the publisher put them there (such as preview chapters), a library (old books from their collection that are in public domain), etc. Since I like hoarding data, and the online viewers that are used to present the book to me might not be very practical, I frequently try to download the books one way or another. This requires toying with the "inspect element" tool and various other methods of getting the images/PDF. Now, all that I access is what is, well, accessible; I don't hack into the servers or something. But - the stuff is meant to be hidden from the normal user. Does that act of hiding the material, no matter how primitive and easily circumvented, mean that I'm not allowed to access it at all?

I suppose ripping a public domain book is no big deal, but would books under copyright fare differently?

Mainly I'm asking out of curiosity, I don't expect the police to come visit me for ripping a 16th century dictionary.

Note: I live in EU, but I'd be curious to hear how this is treated elsewhere too.

Edit: I also remembered a funny trick I noticed on one site - it allows viewing PDFs on their website, but not downloading, unless you pay for the PDF. But when you load the page, even without paying, the PDF is already downloaded onto your computer and can be found in the browser cache. Is it legal to simply save the file that is already on your computer?

(I don't know where else to post, maybe someone here can help, and Neocities is open source...)

I want to create a site on Neocities. I fill out the signup form, solve the captcha, but when I click the "Create My Site" button, nothing happens. I click it again, and after a delay it starts loading something, but then just says "The captcha was not valid, please try again."

This happens regardless of the browser, machine or IP address I'm using.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem, and hopefully how to solve it? Is it just me or does anyone else have the same issue? I've sent an email to the admins two days ago, but still have gotten no reply, and I can find no info on this elsewhere online.

EDIT (20-8-2024): It's working now, probably they fixed it, woo! :D

 

Ne vidi se iz naslova, ali u pitanju je intervju u kojem se daje nešto konkretniji pogled na to kako su nastali i što bi se trebalo raditi na famoznim rodnim studijima.
