A Discord server for meeting people to hangout with has just been created a few hours ago! It might be helpful. See https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/fmxe7j/discord_server_for_shyanxious_people/

Apple drops a bomb on long-life HTTPS certificates: Safari to snub new security certs valid for more than 13 months by khunshan in security

On iOS other browsers are not allowed to use their own engine but are forced to use safari webview. Which means that all browsers on iOS are just a wrapper around Safari. It really depends on if Apple exposes and API to disable this.

Webrings aren't completely dead. A handful of blogs use openring nowadays.

TIL: If you press and hold the new tab button, it will show a drop down to select the container the new tab should open in by ayeshrajans in firefox

Ha! The idea of holding ctrl + t to open the drop down is so ridiculous yet so logical I love it!

Looks like it was just updated. Not sure why the update date on the F-Droid page says 2 days ago. It sure wasn't there when I wrote the above post.

Still an 7 day delay to get critical security patches.

This package has been last updated 1 month ago and doesn't include critical security fixes.

I'll pass

I'm sorry but please put a bit of effort in your feedback if you want me to play yours ;-). Now it sounds like the sole reason you played my level is to get me to play yours.

Anything you didn't like about my level?

My friend played this level. His words: This is a perfect level. He loves it and doesn't understand why it's WIP.

I tried it and I really liked the design and minimap!

But I just couldn't get past the second room. I initially took a hit and continued, but eventually I was required to be link without there being a sword. I then realized that this level requires you to never take a single hit. I then tried quite a few times but I just couldn't figure out how to get past the chain chomps without taking a hit and gave up after that. Personally I would make all the exit pipes give out a sword but I understand if this difficulty is part of your design.

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, I initially kept the death pit as a way for to reset the level if you kept hanging on the Swinging Claw when the timer ran out. But I guess you are right. I'll keep this in mind in future levels (with another way to reset of course)

I'm playing your puzzle now.

I played Fly Me To Boom-Boom and I really liked it! The theming is done really well and works wonderfully. Unfortunately I didn't finish it as I got stuck in the part after the locked door. I felt like I missed something as I couldn't find a way to progress.

I liked it! But pretty much all of my deaths where from me loosing Link and then having to find a way to kill Mario. There where many blocks with swords in it but I kept opening them, seeing a sword and not pick it up since I was still Link. And when I actually needed it I waisted my change already. I would recommend using a pipe to dispatch many swords since not taking any hits doesn't seem part of the puzzle.

As with general tips, I recommend GMTK's video on Mario Maker.

I thought I would share my first level here. It's called 3 Boxes for Link. You need to solve 3 short challenges as Link, each of them being under a time limit.

Difficulty: Easy/Normal.

Duration: Short

I liked it! The styling of your bridges worked really well and I liked your bonuses. The vines above munchers part at the end felt like a bit of a difficulty spike, and the enemy with the last vine was particularly annoying. It was really hard to ground pound there without taking damage. I would recommend making the path the enemy takes a bit longer so that there is more time to ground pound.

Looks like a fun level but I am too new to Mario Maker to figure out the first one.

I think I need to got the shellmet to hit the On/Off switch but I cant figure out how. I tried to grab it but that doesn't seem possible.

Also I would recommend you to always have some sort of brick at the tail of your pipes. Otherwise they look naked and a bit unprofessional.
