It's so that it's not classified as gambling.

Honestly I just read through it like it was a cyberpunk short story. His heart is pounding as he collaborates with super-hackers all over the world in an effort to rescue some desperate person's millions. All of the jargon was totally lost on me but gave it a certain flavor.

>It had to go. We had to adapt to better things.
I'm sorry, I don't understand why. If someone develops a fun little game in Flash, and then I play it on Kongregate, what harm has been done?

I've never heard the expression before. Could someone explain its meaning please?

I haven't used it, but Dwarf Fortress Remote for iOS seems to accomplish this somehow; the whole UI is iOS native.
Obviously there's no official API, but the developer has somehow managed to achieve something similar.

I've been playing for some time using dfhack's "autolabor" feature, and it streamlines things immensely.
Granted, it ends up essentially just turning on every profession for every dwarf, but it's still possible to restrict workshops to certain dwarves. For example, you might have a carpentry workshop set to produce endless amounts of wooden shields, but only allow skilled carpenters access to it.
