Not only that, but when she wanted those photos to be taken down, US courts ruled that she has no right.

Truly the best democracy in the world.

Satisfactory?

I use the audio rooms feature with some friends quite a lot, where anyone can join and leave. Don’t know the official name. What’s an alternative for that? Will stoat work?

I usually look at it from cost per hour perspective. Tears of the Kingdom was 70 but I played it for ~140 hours, so 0.5 per hour. I’m ok with 1 per hour too but anything higher I start to ask myself “is the developer / publisher worth my support?”. Not all games can be judged by this metric though (eg outer wilds, unpacking)

So far, nothing beats the value of factorio. Mindustry (being so cheap) is a close second.

I might actually use this as my primary phone (I agree with others who say marketing this as a 2nd phone was a mistake) if it gets e/os/ or grapheneos support

Not really, since Briar has a very specific usecase and doesn’t have cross platform support

I’m not American so can someone clarify 2nd amendment in this context for me? Can someone actually shoot an ICE agent and evoke 2nd amendment as a defense? How does it work? What about the state’s monopoly on violence?

Ah I see, that’s a long dreamed feature of mine. To be honest, I haven’t seen that feature work reliably in apps that do have it (eg otterrss)

I’ve considered this but only 1 Ethernet port requires a switch, so I’m not really sure

Can you elaborate on why?

I’m also postponing upgrading my rpi4 os to 64bit one, although it’d unblock a lot of my small projects since many docker containers don’t support the 32bit os anymore. I’m just very lazy.

What “childlike view”? Do you remember which jobs were considered “essential” during COVID-19 or were you too young?

Looks like old school counter strike 1.5!

This looks intriguing! How does it compare to Minecraft?

Can you put a tl;dw here? Are they scams?

AppRaven is quite nice

It’s a long article but absolutely worth it. I don’t want to put an tl;dr here because every word there is worth reading.

I haven’t used them but umbrel looks promising: https://umbrel.com/

I’m using a synology and as others have said, it’s pretty friendly to non-techies, with lots of point and click configurations
