Yeah, self-hosting is almost always going to be the “ideal” solution for this sort of stuff, but not everyone has the means (knowledge, time, etc.) or even the reliable internet for that to make sense.

Personally, I know that a few years from now at most, I’ll have probably transitioned to something more custom, but I’m guessing this is going to be a more viable solution for a LOT of people.

Absolutely! I made sure to include a warning early on in the post. I may add a bit about Cloudflare though.

This can help with specific types of tracking, but is mostly about reducing spam emails.

You can find a few guides online such as https://blog.holtzweb.com/posts/unlimited-email-forwarding-address-aliases-using-cloudflare/ and https://fyx.me/minis/create-infinite-email-aliases-using-cloudflare-email-routing/

I can’t remember which ones I used specifically, but that first link covers the basics; I just set up the worker to be a lot simpler using regex to map a whole range of possible aliases through instead of hardcoding anything.

For the moment I’m routing things to Gmail (I’ll likely shift to Proton at some point), but I was able to set up labels using my templates (specific prefixes and formats) to easily identify emails I get. For example, the stuff that comes from my site gets its own label for French or English stuff (the site is in both languages) because it’s always formatted as site.{en/fr}.{semi-ranfom-value}@my-domain.com.

I just set an equivalent up for myself using a custom domain and a Cloudflare worker.

Since I’m already paying for the domain, it’s essentially free, and I can go crazy with the configuration (using regex to block emails or route them to different accounts).

I even have a bit on my site that randomizes the email people can use to contact me.

I think the better alternative would be for browsers to have some kind of per-site override instead of relying on every single site building the same system and putting the option in a different place.

If a setting is universally supported by all sites (which dark mode should be, along with the other common accessibility flags), it shouldn’t be something that the site needs to control.

Ok, I guess that works, my bad! I tend to see player characters more as embodiments not eye candy I guess ;)

Bigender, or trans then, not necessarily bisexual. Wrong flag?

I’m not an expert, but based on anecdotal evidence as well as what I was told by a specialist as a kid, Dyslexia technically is just the symptom of having difficulties with reading and/or writing. People will often have multiple “dys” conditions (not sure of the names in English, but difficulties speaking, with math/numbers, with orientation, with one’s understanding of their position in space, etc.).

I forget why, but we often bunch all that together and put it under the dyslexia for ease of use when it concerns language/learning. And it’s a clearly identified condition at that stage; that can be transmitted genetically (mostly by the father IIRC).

On one extreme, I’ve met people who could barely read at all, and were totally unable to write with a pen because of dyslexia; but I also know people who technically have common issues linked to it (slow reading, confusing similar letters, etc.) but would not qualify for a proper diagnosis because it is too mild to affect their life in an adverse way. So yeah, it’s one of these things that falls on a spectrum.

As for OpenDyslexic, I find it too “wonky” and lopsided. It almost feels like the letters aren’t sticking to their line. To be fair, that’s how I write, but it doesn’t mean I want to read wobbly text.

Atkinson Hyperlegible, on the other hand, helps a lot with things like l,p,q,i,j,I all having clear distinctions that help make words easier to understand.

Yeah, I noticed that; the author should really have changed that by now. 😠

I am dyslexic, and I much prefer Atkinson Hyperlegible.

To be fait, dyslexia is quite variable, and mine is somewhat mild, but I like how readable yet elegant Atkinson is!

Boom! https://danielbritton.info/dyslexia/

I’ll add to this that s01e01 (especially) is an absolute masterclass in character animation and motion. The whole series is incredibly well animated, but that first episode is clearly the place where they were experimenting with things, and it’s beautiful!

I went with a stack pattern and priorities.

Within a priority the last “layer” to activate is the only one to receive inputs. The priority system just means that if a layer from a lower priority gets activated, it doesn’t take over until the upper layer is empty.

It’s a bit stricter (only one layer active at all times), but you can always subscribe to inputs from multiple layers to achieve what you were describing.

The main advantage here was that you can safely rely on enabling/disabling layers without ever getting a conflict… If some popup comes in over your menu, the popup is in charge until it’s closed. No need for them to communicate, and you reliably know that inputs will eventually return to the menu properly, even if something else gets interposed.

And since it’s tacked onto the existing system, you can always have parts of the code that ignore the layer system entirely if necessary (like a mute button that has to work across all systems/menus for example).

Not sure if I’ll ever get around to adapting the concept to Godot, but I’d be happy if anyone comes around and takes the core logic that’s there and adapts it ;)

Thanks!!

TBH, I’m probably going to switch over to Godot at some point myself as well.

Yeah, no worries. Someone else pointed it out to me recently.

I feel there’s a place for both of these. This is lightweight and focused on updates, whereas UniGet is a full-fratured app. Both have their benefits IMHO.

Ah, interesting. I’ll look into that at some point.

How though?

Everything I see online indicates that to have chocolatey handle an app it needs to be installed BY chocolatey; and that the “fix” is to uninstall and reinstall.

Winget can handle apps installed via other sources, including things like all the Visual C++ Redistributable packages and stuff I had previously installed using an installer.

It may not seem like much, but it’s a massive advantage for managing multiple computers in my family.
