I don't even know how to approach this...

A vague question but: In a stive to be more "natura", would forbidding usury realistically be part of that today? Is that something we'd want?

@maleza
So I just read this wonderful idea of yours, and something came to mind. Maybe it'll be of use to you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve

Instead of "decoding" your hexadecimal representations of nibble drawings implicitly as left-to-right and downward, you could use this Z-order-curve.

This would allow you to create drawings of abitrary size (and dimension if as a rule you crop zero-nibbles) from a single hex number.

As the Wiki pages shows, you could even expand to 3D drawings (idk what that entails).

I hope I made sense.

@drq @pixelfed Yeah, I thought that too. That's usually the pattern in every UI.

The #WoT have interesting ambitions. I've been reading up and love it.

My own work. It's written for an informal audience, but useful perhaps.

As a brit, I'd love to see the IT curriculum introduce at the very least some POSIX sh.

@nka@mamot.fr @boilingsteam @acdw @sir I disagree. That is just negligence by ignorance. Apple may target so called "whales" with dark patterns, but in the grand scheme of things, you have to take responsibility of your child and protect them from that.

The parental lock setting is easy too imo, from what I remember. It's just a 4-pin and some toggles in plain English.

Love the parable.
I read something similar the other day.

The statement is more about protecting average consumers (your grandma) from spyware/bloatware, because of their lack of understanding of technology.

We wouldn't have to tolerate such intrusive software if we legally couldn't refer to them as anything but spyware. Normal people would be able to make an *informed* choice.

But yes, of course, root your things :)
