the Movim XMPP client could probably be modified to replicate discord, as it’s already close.

I also thought buying the name for so much money (over a million, and Peri refinanced his house to afford it) just wasn’t worth it.

But with so much invested now, they’re likely to fight it out in court to the end. Apparently the Italian company’s ownership of the name is dubious, but it will still be costly to fight.

Mobian is Debian designed for phones. PostmarketOS is another project doing the same thing, but with an alpine Linux base.

I believe so, yeah.

There’s still BBS’s around, and I think the Amiga has a network that old amigas can connect to to share software and such.

DOSBox-X is supposed to have 3DFX support, though I’ve never tried it myself.

Gemini Rue is a great point’n’click with a wonderfully somber and dark atmosphere, and a tremendously good story.

I’d also recommend Night in the Woods, and Sally Face.

The first two Thief games are also very dark (literally), and are some of the finest stealth games ever made, with good stories to boot.

I feel the sane way. It had very uninspired, well trodden gameplay (with some aspects quite poorly done) along with a passable story.

The highlight for me was just taking in the scenery in the jungle section, almost felt like virtual tourism. But I was hoping for something more original, since I enjoyed the first wolfenstein game from machine games quite a lot.

Overall I didn’t feel it was worth the price, even on sale.

Hi, mod of Buyitforlife here!

The rule you quoted only applies to people self promoting their own products to sell there, they do not apply for recommending something or asking for suggestions for something. Feel free to make a post there about earbuds!

I try to donate to projects I use the most.

• Mint/Debian
• Krita
• KDE
• Archive.org

Superb stuff! The dithered shading on the robot really makes it pop with dimension!

(Or is it an observatory? The black hole at the base could be an entrance, but I was second guessing myself since the scale of the grass would make it very small. Perhaps an entrance for an advanced species of intelligent lemmings who learned not to dive off cliffs? 😄)

Older desktops can have a somewhat hefty idle power draw due to the overall system consumption contributing more than expected, such as the southbridge. According to this old review of the i7-2600k, the system idles at 74w, which at $0.12 per KWh, would cost you roughly $77 per year. Though you might want to confirm that with a Kill-a-watt meter if you can (libraries sometimes lend them out), since I’m pretty sure that total system power chart includes a discrete GPU, so the real number for a GPU-less system is probably around 40 or 50w at idle.

If that is accurate, you could potentially replace your i7-2600 with a used Dell Wyse 5070 thin client from ebay for about $40 (in the US), and that idles at 5w, which would only cost you $5 a year at the same rate.

Older thin clients and laptops tend to have much better idle power draws compared to desktops. For other people reading this, if you’re using a desktop for a low-power use case, it’s probably worth finding out what its idle power consumption is and doing the calculation to determine if it’d be worth replacing it with a more efficient used thin-client or office mini-pc.

The one in the center? It kinda looks like the big rock is picking his nose to me :p

In the US, pensions have become extremely rare, and were mostly replaced with a 401k, which is essentially a tax deferred stock market account. Often your employer will match contributions that you put into it up to a certain point.

What if their wages hadn’t allowed them to build up a 401k? They likely won’t be able to survive on social security alone.

TrilliumNext Notes is a great one.

Absolutely love this little guy.

Glad to be of help and that you’re up and running! :D

I had to go to the F-droid setting, click on Include Anti-Features, then enable ‘Tethered Network Services’ for it to show up in the F-droid search.

A Mind Forever Voyaging, by Infocom.

It’s an old text adventure from the 80’s with a particularly cool and oddly relevant concept: You take the role of an AI that’s been meticulously raised in a simulation to truly become a general intelligence. The reason this project was undertaken was to eventually send you, the AI, into other simulations based in the near future to test the outcomes of various political policies of the new republican government, record your interactions, and report back to the engineers who created you.

The game’s designer said that he created the game in response to the despair he felt from Ronald Reagan being elected.

I haven’t gotten super far in it, but it has an incredibly well written short story in the manual that details all the events leading up to the start of the game, and so far the game itself is unlike anything else I’ve ever played.
