    A lot of these kids aren't that tech savvy, they might not know how to get around it.

    They don't necessarily need to be tech savvy to get around it. Kids/teenagers can and will figure out their ways to socialise online even if you try to forbid them to - this has been shown previously in various articles on tildes. They don't need to know about VPNs or proxies; all they may need is simply to self-organise and migrate elsewhere.

    Ban their favourite app and they'll move to another; ban all messaging apps and they'll self organise their own bootleg social media in a place not intended to be social media - and all it takes is someone taking an initiative. And the irony is that there'll be even less "control" there.

    And not only on the internet either - sadly I know of at leasr a handful of existing communist parties whose ideology is at least in part based on this bs.

    By the way, what's everyone's opinion on the player locator bar? Should it be enabled or disabled?

    I think it looks kind of annoying and I will try to overwrite mine with a texture pack but I wonder whether anyone feels the same?

    Since there is no landmass located at these coordinates, it is not an actual island.

    They're just going to keep moving to different apps or find other ways around the ban every time something changes, IMO

    Ah, the day Alaska became the 49th State, Pope John XXIII excommunicated Fidel Castro, J.R.R. Tolkien and Greta Thunberg were born, and Qasem Soleimani was killed

    Pulling things out of my posterior orifice here, I didn't even log in to see the actual inputs, but wouldn't:

    this Doing a text operation replacing all `" "` (double spaces) with `" "`, stripping leftover spaces before the first and after the last digit per row, then splitting rows by `"\n"` and columns by `" "`
    solve the problem fast?

    This year I pretty much spent the least amount of time playing games since I can rember

    I properly played Skyrim for the first time ever in January(-ish), finished it, then went back to minecraft (tildes MC server), but I got huge minecraft burnout and barely actually touched it. I was passively online 24/7 but almost exclusively for chatting. Made a few awesome friendships outside tildes thanks to that, though, so can't complain. I did play Stardew Valley on my switch for like a month or so (August) but then got bored of it because I had achieved everything I wanted. So I again ended up not playing anything agaim until I got a steam deck in early November or so.

    Which is, all in all, not "much" compared to before.

    Tbh, I get it. Yesterday, more or less everyone I saw here ended up bruteforcing the solution, whereas my first thought was something very different, built more like a theorem's proof. Then again, I'm not actually participating; I'd rather not spend more hours sitting on the same chair I already have to work 8 hours on.

    My best guess would be that these two track songs/skips differently. AFAIK there's no data from last December in Wrapped
