‘Almost all’ makes me wonder about what the other ones are

If you demonstrate you’re willing to murder civilians and kids to accomplish your political goals don’t be surprised when someone does the same to you.

Taxes are the prerogative of Congress not executive. This is a continuation of decades of usurping power from the legislative to centralizing under executive that illustrates why both US political parties entail right wing politics.

4 and 5 were both fun if you ignore the in game store and goals and just play around in the open world with other players or find some stretch of road to see if you can get a top speed, perfect a drift around a sharp turn, etc.

I find cultivating some creative outlet and hobbies provides a resilience against my desire to ride the hype on the latest thing/tech/game/book/etc. Also using lists, waiting for sales, and spending more money where I spend most of my time.

Nethack is a command line classic

If you want to check out some classics look up project 1999 for EverQuest or the classic world of warcraft servers. RuneScape isn’t a bad choice if you’re into the grind.

Modern I don’t think there’s much I can recommend, even the subscription based games have stores attached now & few or no in game events run by GMs

When she started she was a pop science channel, relaying new physics research to a general audience. Apparently that wasn’t enough and she dove head first down the conspiracy theory and pseudoscience slide to ad revenue and clicks, abandoning all reason and peer review standards.

Are they still considered professional doctors if they are willing to do harm to their patients by ignoring the latest scientific research on patient care because it makes them feel icky?

I like to keep all my eggs in one basket, that way you can really keep an eye on them.

RIP No you shut up

Lumberjacking in Antarctica. It’s tough because there aren’t any trees to practice on.

I’m still feeling that part out since it’s only been about a week, a full charge can last me multiple days (5100mAh) and the battery in my pixel 5 (4080mAh) was pretty run down.

Fully charged 25.5hr ago & pretty heavy use yesterday and I’m at 63%, the 5 would have been twice dead by now.

Yes, and it comes with very few by default as well

No restart needed, pull down twice and the switcher is on the bottom right. Usually takes just a couple seconds to switch.

So far it’s been good for about a week. Highlights have been the easy install, secure by default but lets me override when I want (block app network access on install is awesome), and getting access to the other app repos than Google’s I haven’t seen since I installed dirty unicorns years ago. I setup multiple users so I can keep my primary like a root which was also simple to do.

Only complaints I have are when I get messages on another user than primary I can see the messages in the app but not the message content in the notification, its just a generic alert message like new messages received. Nice to have but not going to make me switch back. And the keyboard doesn’t have swipe typing so I use gboard with network access turned off.

Also I did install the Google app store to get a couple paid apps and calendar/contacts I need to move out of Google. It does sandbox by default which is really cool and i think should be required for phone manufacturers. I just disabled services/store/calendar access to the network after I let it download everything.

Edit: also not a OS thing but I tried switching VPN to orbot/tor at the same time and it is still really unreliable for that use with the way so many sites try to sniff out your location

It’s almost like the organization itself is designed to make things worse if it means short term profits, useful and appreciated apps sacrificed at the altar of line must go up

My pixel 5 recently broke and the only reason I went with a pixel 9a was to install grapheneOS on it as soon as I got it. The process has become way easier than it used to be. After setting up/skipping all the first run screens I plugged it into another Android device and used the grapheneOS site to run the install, took like 15 min.

Some people will leave, the rest will ride it out as Reddit continues to transform itself into Facebook
