Returning to a tradition I started in 2018 on my penultimate transatlantic flight, here's another selection of rapid-fire reviews of movies I watched during the round-trip to France over the holidays. #MiniReview #Movies

#MiniReview Stranger Things 3: The Game (2019) is meant to complement the third season of the eponymous TV shows. With cute pixel art and spacy synthwave, it hits the right aesthetic notes, but combat proved to be too fast-paced for me to keep up. #videogames -

Small misplaced pride: I’m abroad on a roaming 2G data plan, and I can browse my self-hosted #Friendica site, but I couldn’t manage to completely load my self-hosted #Pixelfed site even after waiting several minutes. -

It's okay, I was mostly curious whether using a single emoji would work in the #Friendica content filter, and yes, yes it does. -

If you're wondering how my day is going, I had to add "🟩" as an exclusion term to my social media software because of the people publishing their Wordle grid without using the term "Wordle". -

To be completely honest, I wouldn't have noticed we changed year if it hadn't been for an online user tracking regulation bill apparently taking effects on Jan 1st, prompting absolutely every single website to show me an absolute gauntlet of cookie consent forms. -

#MiniReview Mainlining (2017) by Sam Read https://samreadgraves.itch.io is a fun, cute and short "point and click hacking adventure" that would benefit from better feedback from arrest mistakes and a few placeholder variable fixes. #videogames

I needed short salted encoded strings from integers to prevent enumeration attacks on a public detail page, and I decided on Hashids with bindings in several #programming languages including #PHP that I use.

I generally don't take part in programming language debates because most of them have to do with personal habit more than inherent strengths and weaknesses, but this criticism of the choice of a very implicit language for what is essentially banking contracts rings true to me. There's a good reason significant parts of current banking software is still written in COBOL, a very rigid language. -

Someone fraudulently made a little over US$110,000 in Ethereum with peer-reviewed code (!!) and a bait-and-switch scheme exploiting FOMO. The only reaction is “we should do better” and if this doesn't discourage you from dabbling in cryptocurrencies, I don’t know what will. ♲ @cat5749@twitter.com: A few hours ago, a promising token called $YEAR was airdropped. It was set up as a "year in review" of your Ethereum transaction history.
Less than an hour ago, this turned into a painful experience for buyers of the token.
Here's how $YEAR pulled the rug in under 6 hours🧵 1/ -

It will take a lot of environmental catastrophe Hollywood movies where the CDC plays a beneficial role to repair the reputation they lost by obviously pandering to businesses when they cut the recommended COVID-19 isolation period in half last week. -

In general, but it was confirmed in this game. Many of them were well-designed and enjoyable to me, but some felt unfair and not particularly satisfying even after completing them. Like the final boss fight which was a painful experience for me the first time around, and almost too easy the second time after ransacking the world for secrets. -

#MiniReview: I just beat Hollow Knight (2017) but by no mean completed it. My journey was made much more enjoyable equipped with the fan-made wiki. I reached 93% completion thanks to it, avoiding mostly boss fights which I have had mixed feelings about.
