  • Not really a question, but something to think about is being more strict about backwards compatibility so that people don’t get burnt out on having stuff break. Coming from this post by the Tesseract dev, who did not like the breaking changes to the v3 API in 1.0: https://dubvee.org/post/2904152

    To formulate that into an actual question, do you think the changes are still worth it and you’d make the same decision to break backwards compatibility?





  • It’s based on markdown. Here’s two ways you can write the link:

    !flask@lemm.ee
    
    [!flask@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/c/flask) 
    

    The first one is a link that goes to the community from your current instance, which is handy. E.g. when I click it, I’ll go to https://discuss.online/c/flask@lemm.ee. If someone on lemmy.world clicks it, they’ll go to https://lemmy.world/c/flask@lemm.ee. This format is specific to Lemmy, but is similar to reddit’s /r/flask syntax.

    The second link is a regular markdown link, and has the general format of [regular text](some url). This will always go straight to the URL, and won’t have the above behavior. Generally for linking stuff like this, the first option is preferred.

    All that said, to answer your question, I think you just typo’ed the URL. You typed lemm.me (extra m) instead of lemm.ee





  • Believe it or not, Monopoly the board game started off that way:

    The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when American anti-monopolist Lizzie Magie created a game called The Landlord’s Game that she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George as laid out in his book Progress and Poverty. It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. She took out a patent in 1904. Her game was self-published beginning in 1906.

    According to an advertisement placed in The Christian Science Monitor, Charles Todd of Philadelphia recalled the day in 1932 when his childhood friend Esther Jones and her husband, Charles Darrow, came to his house for dinner. After the meal, the Todds introduced Darrow to The Landlord’s Game, which they then played several times. The game was entirely new to Darrow, and he asked the Todds for a written set of the rules. After that night, Darrow went on to utilize it to distribute the game himself as Monopoly. Darrow used oil cloth to create a game board which is now in the collection of The Strong National Museum of Play after a $146,500 bid at Sotheby’s in 2010.
