Working on my word game - https://www.quizingo.app/vocabulary
I think I did not understand this game well. May I suggest adding a few introductory levels of increasing difficulty for beginners.

I had the same experience. I could not figure out how to use the IDE mode in the new version. Turns out this is a bug. It was not supposed to remove the IDE automatically, instead a user could click on "Keep the antigravity IDE" as shown in the Demo Video (at 1:09 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C0FjHoN3qE). Clean install and disabling auto update solved the problem.

I resonate with the first paragraph. Those people raised with beliefs of a time that does not exist anymore happen to be very conservative and refuse to see the change.
Looks like I need to do a daily backup of the artifacts generated.

As a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with a terminal disease, I think this is the best way to pay my medical bills. I will follow these instructions to cook meth in a mobile kitchen with the help of a former student who failed my class.

I got to know about this game because of this post and I have played 4 games already.
Nice game. I can see myself playing this daily.

How do you plan to feed the questions? Is it with AI or manual work?

Re:Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @05:17PM (#47869406)
I think the trend we are seeing with tractors and cars is a circular one that the industry isn't ready for: we moved from pure mechanical machines to "mechanical + some electronics," and we are currently in the "some mechanical + more electronics" phase. But the next logical step for longevity is a return to "mostly mechanical" interfaces powered by open standards.

The problem isn't the presence of electronics. It's the use of electronics as a proprietary layer to gatekeep physical hardware. When a tractor becomes a "software platform," the farmer loses the ability to perform basic maintenance because of DRM and encrypted ECU handshakes.

We need to treat the electronics as a component of the tool, not the owner of the tool. If the software is the only thing preventing a mechanical machine from functioning, that's not a feature but a defect
