I’m sure that he can perceive the depth that the shaft of that valve is drilling into his eye socket when you turn it. That should count for something.

All right I tried out the live app, to connect my phone to my desktop. Couldn’t get it to work. Tried the link method both ways, once normal and once animals. Tried the QR code too. All it does is bring me to a “contacts” page, which is essentially the same screen, or to a “new peer” one. Tried looking at the docs but didn’t see what I might be doing wrong there. Do certain plug ins mess it up like ublock origin? Anything else?

It’s an interesting idea. If it can make it easier to share files with friends then I’d be in. Voice and video have always been challenging as I understand it, so I’m expecting that to come later. Very ambitious, but cool if you can pull it off!

While the system is designed to be entirely local, it is also possible to easily connect it to some external APIs or services if you want to enhance the conversation

Seeing this post about the sale made me check out the Wikipedia article about the game, since I never knew anything about it either. After reading that I’m pretty much sold on it. For a few dollars it’s worth a try.

So not 3? Why not, because it was the most successful or something? 🤷

Plus I never even heard of 4 before. I’m going to have to look that up.

Bah, I was thinking of windows. I need to get some sleep.

😆👏👍

I appreciate your attitude about dealing with people. And the other stuff too.

Turns out I was wrong. :/

No, I didn’t know that because I learned about them at the same time.

It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo, which you can access with Droid-ify, which is a fork of f-droid that uses their repos as well.

Funny coincidence for me, but I just learned this listening to a podcast called Behind the Bastards: The Ballad of Bill Gates. It talked about how one of the reasons MS became so big was because so many people shared MS BASIC back in the day, but then Gates worked so hard against piracy afterwards despite that fact. So basically just one aspect of what you are talking about.

• Someone thought it would be a good idea to troll open source community and make it look worse than closed source, so that closed source security can be popularised (“security” trolls in FOSS community I harp about love such ideas, beware of any Graphene/Chrome/Apple and Big Tech lovers just as example)
• Tying into the idea of making FOSS ecosystem look bad, it might be a concerted effort by closed source company/companies to propel themselves above, as FOSS development is shitting on closed source corporate model
• A different approach, it could be the first step in a series of steps to dismantle FOSS ecosystem, considering how much trust and transparency it has that attracts everyone enlightened enough

This is why it surprised me to learn that this was noticed/announced by an MS employee.

Yes, you should totally do that. DO IT.

Just tell all your customers that it’s “for entertainment purposes only.”

Could go even further and play Minetest, which has absolutely no ms bs in it.

Haven’t had much problems with bugs, probably depends which version(s) you’ve tried. As for the rest, maybe I should look for some videos to see for myself. Is there radio on the official one?

Yeah but from what people are saying, it isn’t as good as the mod version. 😢

Still haven’t managed to get myself to do the big update yet because of the metro mod. 😭
