It was basically forked into RubyMotion, which is closed source but actively developed.

That date feels a little bit late. The PS/2 devices that superseded the bus mouse started appearing around 1987. There were certainly still bus mice around in 1995, but they were thoroughly obsolete.

None of those are modern. There's been A LOT of new ideas in board game design in the last eighty years.

Well, a lot of the early examples of this style aren't very good. ;-)

Dominion has a fair amount of depth, but it seems common for individual player groups to get hung up on a particular play style and decide that they've found the ultimate strategy.

I dunno about the Kindle 7 specifically, but replacing the battery in many models is pretty easy.


> The big problem is that Amazon no longer allows you to download books from their site to your desktop

I've bought a number of books on Kindle that were explicitly marked as being sold without DRM. Does this mean I've lost access to any DRM-free downloads that I haven't already backed up?


If you bought them from Amazon, you won't be able to get them after the cutoff date directly to that Kindle via WiFi. You may not be able to get them in a format that old Kindles can read at all.

Download and back them up now. Or just pirate them if you need them later.

The entire Kindle store system will cease working on older Kindles after the cutoff. Still works as a reader, but expect to lose things like location sync across devices.

I don't buy from Amazon, I don't turn on WiFi on my Kindle because it eats battery life, I always travel with a laptop, and I only use it to read outdoors. So I really don't care. It's my beach book. At home, I'd rather read on my iPad.

Oh, and FWIW, you can install Tailscale to a jailbroken Kindle and Taildrop files to it over WiFi, if it can read the format (for the old ones being discussed, that's mobi or azw3).


I dunno if this is what you were seeing, but LuaJIT has some serious performance issues on ARM.

It's unfortunate as Love2D is generally VERY snappy on x86. I used it on a 300MHz laptop back in the day.


As the open source author in question, I'd politely ask everyone to not draw overly-generic conclusions from an ancient discussion in some third-party forum, which links to a (now) resolved bug report.

Open source is not a one-way street. By publicly disparaging open source projects, you're actually harming the ecosystem you rely on.


Please accept my apologies. Stable LOVE ships a pretty old version of LuaJIT; I didn't realize it'd been resolved upstream.


LuaJIT was originally made with some x86 assembly wizardry so I'm not surprised to hear that the ARM version is worse.


People talk about the stuff they use, and there are _a lot_ of fantasy consoles.

Tables are kinda-sorta hashes that can hold anything, not unlike JavaScript objects. The array use case is just a table with automatically assigned numeric keys.
