It’s a reference to Toto’s song “Africa”, and in the line “I bless the rains down in Africa” the “A” gets extended a lot.

They’re usually also Biblical literalists, who believe that their infallible God-authored Bible says the Earth is flat (“four corners”, covered in a dome, etc), thus the globe is an attack on Christianity. The worldly institutions are all controlled by the devil, who wants Christians to doubt their Bible and their belief in God.

I would add the 1999 game Warzone 2100 to this list. Much like Earth 2150 you can design your own units and it also has the persistent homebase + mission outposts system. It was open-sourced in 2004 and has received quite a bit of love since then.

Aber heißt das wirklich “nicht nachgewiesen” oder nur “nicht getestet”?

That doesn’t seem to be true. A lot of German publishers do not allow you to proceed without giving consent to cookies and profiling for targeted advertising. They consider this legal because they offer you the alternative of “opting out” by signing up for a paid subscription.

That’s a tool to help application developers figure out how something looks to color-blind people, so the developers can correct their presentation. It doesn’t resolve color ambiguities for color-blind people by itself.

For example, in the case of the image here, it turns everything into different shades of yellow, with both ends of the color gradient just being “dark yellow”. Now it’s clearly ambiguous to people with normal vision, as well.

When I see the current version of Edge I’m reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it’s a sidebar.

I’m disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

You’re actually seeing mouse pointers of other people having the page open. It connects to a websocket endpoint including the page URL and your platform (OS) and sends your current mouse position every second.

How does it compare to what BK calls the Whopper Jr in at least the US and EU?
