Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that as well! I love tactical shooters and have been really wanting to play HLL, but I never bought it because of anti-cheat. Seems like I can finally buy and play the game now :)

Are you sure about Hell Let Loose not working on Linux on your system? The ProtonDB page has many reports if HLL working fine since about a month.

It’s a reference to an old reddit post. In the post, the OP explained they had a knife at their toilet for poop that got stuck, hence the poopknife. It was only later in life when they asked a friend for their “poop knife”, when they discovered that nobody else has a knife like that and how weird it is.

My favorite GBA game is The Urbz: Sims in the City. The console version of the game wasn’t received very positively, but the GBA/DS version is a completely separate game, and a very good one. It’s a very goofy game with a lot of stupid (read: amazing) jokes, RPG elements, mini games, some of the best music in any GBA game and a lot more. I still revisit this game once in a while.

I even played the predecessor “Sims bustin out” for the GBA a few years ago. Urbz is way more refined than bustin out, but if you liked Urbz and you want more, Bustin Out is a great way to scratch that itch.

Ambitiousamphibian did a great video on this game a few months ago. He seems to feel exactly the same about this game as I do. Because of that, I will link it, but be aware that it contains a lot of spoilers and going blind into the game is the best way to play IMO.

I hate that LG left the market. A LOT of innovation came from them, including a lot of quircky (and often cool) features. They experimented a lot which didn’t always work out, but often it did work out great and it made their phones a lot more exciting then most other brands. Because of this a lot of features that are now the industry standard, like having a wide-angled camera lens, were popularized by LG. And yet, somehow, most people don’t know this and always saw it as a lesser brand.

That’s completely normal, and a large portion of people here in Europe would do the same as you do. There is this saying where “people in North America life to work, people in Europe work to life”. Because who cares if you make more money if you barely have the time to actually enjoy it?

Not trying to say one continent is better than the other, but it is a very clear difference in work-life balance mentality.

One of the reasons why I would buy a repairable phone is it’s reliability in the long run. For instance, my previous phone, a Nokia, had a broken USB-C port. Replacing it would be pretty hard to do myself, or expensive to let somebody else do it. And that is if you can find replacement parts at all. One of the main benefits of a phone like the Fairphone, is that I can just order a new port from the manufacturer for a low price, without any unexpected costs, and replace it in 15 minutes. I still have some photo’s on that phone because they were not automatically backed up. The Nokia also was pretty unusable even when it worked, because the software was borderline criminally bad. However, the bootloader was locked so I couldn’t change it.

buying a second ahnd flagship is also a great way to save a bit on the environment, but it’s won’t be as reliable, the condition of the battery will probably be worse and you’ll have to watch out that you don’t buy a phone that doesn’t get any updates anymore (or at least has a unlocked bootloader if you’re willing to flash a custom ROM)

Yes, it does have a microSD card slot. The website isn’t the most clear website ever, but if you click on “Specifications” and then “See all specifications” everything will be shown, including a MicroSD card slot

In that case I’m afraid I don’t know any solution, hopefully you’ll find something that fits your needs. If you needed to cast Youtube-videos and such, I would’ve shared my own bodged method that combines KDE Connect, MPV and a regex-enabled fork of “handlr”.

Do you specificly want to cast your screen? Or do you want to cast things like YouTube videos and music?

I think a LoRaWAN based tracker might be perfect for you. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Loko myself:

Interesting! I’m going to look into it, thanks!

I wish for AP to have RSS feeds, but they don’t. I think they and Reuters are aome of the better outlets out there and I’ve been (re)discovering RSS lately, but AP is one of the few news outlets that don’t seem to support it :(

As they should. The earlier you start with scripting, the more time you can save by spending hours on writing a script that saves 2 seconds of time.

You’re scaring me! Just the thought of having a swim and then suddenly hearing a bag of chips getting stuck behind a glass panel sends shivers down my spine.

Wait, so you’re telling me that there are no vending machines in the ocean that are preying on people swimming in the water?

Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.

I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

The RIF dev, Talklittle, is building an app for tildes.net. But he’s on the ferdiverse as well.

Personally, I’m really excited about that! I’m on Tildes as well and Tildes has become on of my favorite platforms that I discovered because of the API changes at Reddit. It has a small, but really nice community with great threads. I also really love the minimal interface: Fast and no distractions. Just text.

I still doesn’t have a native app though and for some reason the mobile website is kinda sluggish on my phone. That might be my aging phone’s fault, as it is a very quick site on my PC. but a RIF-like app would be amazing!

Edit: I just found out he showed a little preview for the app and asked for donations to Tildes (not to him, to Tildes. Because he is cool like that). Preview of the Tildes app here. I can certainly see the DNA of RIF in it! Just to be clear to anyone skimming through my comment: The is NOT an app for Lemmy (or Kbin)!

Edit 2: I’m on a different connection than last week now and now Tildes feels very responsive on my phone. So it was indeed a problem on my end.
