"* Also runs on Linux/Mac (including apple silicon) via Wine *"


Their website makes their definition of portable very clear in "What makes a portable app special?".

It's quite clear they mean more a (much) stricter variation of the "no installation" definition than the "easily buildable on other OS" definition. Though they do mention execution under translation environments as a requirement.


That's not what the message you linked claims at all. Maybe you missed the "in this message" at the end of the sentence?


No not really - I don’t think choosing to post from an alternative email removes the association issue that the original intent is trying to capture.


> I don't know its origins (tumblr emo crowd??)

You're almost a century off :) https://www.bauhaus-bookshelf.org/bauhaus_writing_in_small_l...


There's an option to switch back to the original 4:3 ratio.


Claude Opus 4.1:

"I'll search for the current status of seahorse emoji to give you the most up-to-date information.

No, there is no seahorse emoji in the official Unicode standard, and there never has been one. The Unicode Consortium, which is responsible for approving and standardizing emojis, has not included a seahorse in any of its emoji releases.

Interestingly, this is a well-documented example of the "Mandela Effect" - a phenomenon where groups of people collectively misremember something that never actually existed. Many people are convinced they've seen or used a seahorse emoji before, but it's likely they're either experiencing a false memory or remembering seahorse stickers or emoji-style images from messaging apps that aren't part of the standard Unicode set.

A seahorse emoji was actually proposed to Unicode in 2018 but was declined, and there hasn't been a successful proposal since. If you'd like to see a seahorse emoji added in the future, you can submit a proposal to the Unicode Consortium, though the approval process is quite rigorous.

So while we have plenty of other sea creatures like tropical fish, octopus, crab, lobster, squid, and dolphin, the seahorse remains notably absent from our emoji keyboards!"


This content is oddly similar to what one can read at [1]. So much so that it feels like plagiarism.

There's no reason LLMs don't also do this with code by the way.

[1] https://emojipedia.org/seahorse-emoji-mandela-effect


not only that, but, if a LLM can actually complete a code task it's a good sign that that problem has a public code repository solving it (usually in a way that is better than what the LLM offers)


Having read the above conversation excerpt and the page you linked... how do you get to it feeling like plagiarism? Given a constrained set of information here, there's only so many ways to present the information. They roughly discuss the same data points, but the writing is different in both. Is this disallowed?


Take the "seahorse sticker or emoji-style image" part.

It's the exact same words. It is quite specific phrasing. There's no other result on the web for this.

It's not only this part, the whole thing feels very similar, just with more confidence and in a sublty different order.

When the set of ideas and the phrasing are this similar without citing the source, I call this plagiarism.

Now, it could be that the emojipedia page is AI slop, but then the AI would seem to have invented this specific phrasing, which I would find unlikely.


It could also be that the UI shows citations but they don't survive copy-paste.


What if it’s the other way around? Your linked article is based on AI slop? Nowadays, you cannot be sure.


"morbus" also means disease, not just death.


Neither autism nor ADHD are diseases.


There's lots of spots where you can get stuck. Really needs a "reset position" option.


Yeah, I had to end the game due to getting stuck between the fencing on the sea side and the chemical plant columns.


M-Discs are available as DVD and Blu-Ray only, not as CD.


Oops, yes you're right! I bet that could change pretty quickly if a big corporate customer wanted them, though.


There's no login, so they won't have any email addresses.


IIRC users voluntarily provided emails per request.


I'd recommend always checking submission titles afterwards because the auto-filter often butchers them. You can edit them at least for a few minutes.
