But you aren’t allowed to mention Luigi

So basically Windows in S mode?

Yeah guess I don’t really care for most of it. Can get anything I want as an apk or mostly just on fdroid. VLC and an SSH client would be nice.

That is people you might already know, not people you might like to get to know

How easy is it to degoogle Android? Don’t currently use Android or iOS but dumb phone options are getting pretty limited these days.

If I got an Android phone I would probably be looking at something second hand because fuck paying 3 figures on a phone. I know I wouldn’t use data at all, call/SMS SIM only. I guess another option is not needing to degoogle it as it will never talk to google once I have finished downloading maps of the country for OSMand and a few other apps. Then it can be on Wi-Fi to allow communication with my PC over LAN but don’t allow it access to the internet.

If it never touches the internet after setup I guess outdated OS doesn’t matter too much.

Is this one of the drafts for Dr Strangelove?

A platform with so many people and that knows so much about them, if they really wanted to slap AI on it why not an AI matchmaker for making friends?

Want to make it profitable? Sell activities through it. “Meet a potential friend and go bowling, click to buy your ticket”. While FB siphon off a bit of profit on the ticket sales.

I live in one where refusing to decrypt it for them results in a 2 year prison sentence.

And yes, if you forget you will still be charged.

On a home PC, what for? The only data that really matters to be encrypted is my keepass database file. Giving the option is fine but I don’t think it should done without asking the user to choose.

Might do but you can always go until you find it too hard and then go back to one that you like, or use custom to set a difficulty that you like.

Also tried playing it with extra people before, so far just 3, 1 with the bomb and 2 with manuals. But playing with a few more could also be fun, maybe even set them up with a phone each and stick each team in a different room.

That is some useful perspective, often hearing people complain energy is the most expensive in the world in the UK. But I am paying like 27p/kWh and use fuck all for heating by using a heat pump.

Either I can easily live on minimum wage or I have been so poor for long enough my standards are below “basic living”.

They keep telling us the cloud allows us to scale. Ok, but why must everything be on it? Surely you could use both. Get our own hardware and if we have a flood of new customers stick the extra ones on the cloud server for a while. It’s all just VMs anyway.

Keep talking and nobody explodes could be a fun one, only needs 1 device and the other player needs the manual which can be on a phone or printed out. You could even play it over a phone call.

I bought it long before the steam release, back when multiplayer was in experimental. So glad that there are 1000s of hours that were never tracked so I don’t need to see those.

How much is Factorio worth though, everything?

You can play other games, there is so much to choose from just drop the expensive ones.

And if tech people are no longer recommending it, or actively recommending against it, it is possible to get people to start switching. This is largely how chrome became so popular in the first place, and that required getting people to change from the default option.

I don’t even read it, just close. Still hate it and would drop discord immediately if the communities I am in switched to anything else.

Discord is more of a chat room than a forum though, lemmy is a federated alternative to forums.

They already have done that a while ago.
