Welcome to the age of the licence, where you pay to be given permission to use something in a specific way.

Will give it a try!

Thanks for the recommend.

Ah, an artistic expression saying “you must learn our language, see how it feels for you to subvert your culture to do something needful”?

Hardly an avant-garde notion today, but in 2010 it may well have been.

I can appreciate the beauty of what was created, though I suspect it failed to move people in the way it was intended. To me, it seems an illogical step backwards, rather than a meaningful stride forwards, as I see it from a pedagogical perspective. Others may disagree, but such is art.

True, but I think the principle still holds.

When I talk about a “print”, “if”, “for” or “while” I am universally understood by the majority of coders. This means, someone with those concepts can use any logic flow making use of those terms with a minimum of learning.

However, if I speak of “gable”, “gyr” or “wabbajack”, then trouble begins, for now I have no tutorials nor guides. Let us say these are not merely localisations, but new concepts, then the question comes of completeness and how it is proved.

In essence, one either recreates Babel, where no two people can understand one another, and collaboration quickly slips away. Or, one builds a tower upon the sand, that has no logical foundation to anchor it, this rendering it worse than useless to those who learn it.

Excel would like to know your location

Jokes aside, alternative command words for different languages make it harder, not easier, to teach programming. I run some excel labs at the start of my course, and trying to troubleshoot students using their own devices set to their mother tongue is pain.

“Equivalent of a DVD player OS” is now my go-to insult for a bad OS.

Well, I know what I’ll be using to listen to my radio stations from now on. Really neat project!

Also, it doesn’t pick up user defined tags because it’s looking in the wrong place for them!

Row 114:

TAGS=( $(sed ‘s/ /\n/g’ stations.txt |grep “#”|grep -v “#Favorites”|sort|uniq|sed ‘s/#//g’) )

Should be

TAGS=( $(sed ‘s/ /\n/g’ $HOME/.cache/radion/stations.txt |grep “#”|grep -v “#Favorites”|sort|uniq|sed ‘s/#//g’) )

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, 17 lawyers up that pirate’s poor bum!

You know, there is less ethical angst over making a copy of something you can ONLY rent vs something you can buy.

However, both options are stealing under most laws!

I think it’s less enforceable than they think - every system someone sets up will eventually be circumvented.

It’ll be a pain for a few months, or we’ll see a federated alt pick up creators.

The 3rd is very different in character than the original 2. It has more in common with Divinity: Original Sin (1&2) than the original games, so they’re the best ones to check out compatibility wise.
