  • Came here to say Simon Tatham’s puzzles.

    I also like, from f-droid, Tower Jumper, and from Play, hillclimb racing.

    • seen much praise of mindustry here on Lemmy, but not got into it myself
    • rabbit escape is like lemmings/pingus
    • I like go, but play casual. CrazyStone on Play works well for me. It’s doing something with the internet on startup, probably benign model updates, but I block its internet access.
    • I also remember Doom and Destiny being very fun and fairly casual. The free version is not too bad on ads. The second one I never got far in - felt like it was constant ads interrupting gameplay




  • But in the end, yes, it is a MITM. If you need your data to be E2E encrypted, don’t use it.

    Or do use E2E encryption. You can still have a layer of encryption within the SSL tunnel that cloudflare controls. Like you’d do for an E2EE filestore: the webserver (and cloudflare) see the website woosh by, and all that you do on it, but the files themselves are encrypted opaquely to both, and decrypted only by a browser at the other end.







  • Recentered is the thing.

    I’ve often wished map apps would recenter the Mercator projection for wherever you are in the world. So you could zoom out on e.g. Russia and see the world map as if the ‘equator’ were through Russia and the ‘poles’ at … somewhere in the North Atlantic and South Indian Ocean?

    Bonus points if you can rotate too





  • Hatch or grow. Because once you’re asking those questions, is the first chick truly the first chicken?

    “Is a juvenile defined by what it currently is or what it will/might become?” And, “is chicken-ness an innate quality of the animal, or in relation to the animal fulfilling/presenting (or being able to fulfil) some chicken-ness?”

    Ah, but when that line of tiny change is so arbitrary… Is it a true chicken until it grows up and fulfils its destiny? Is it a chicken based purely on its genetic code, so the egg whence it hatched is a chicken egg; or is it truly a chicken when it becomes a chicken… meh, I write this far and find I still agree with you: even in that case the egg it hatched from becomes a chicken egg by virtue of the chicken it grew into.
