The worst person you know just made a great point

Battery life and weight. That’s what keeps me from getting a pc handheld. Although the switch 2 is so big I don’t know if that holds true anymore

I haven’t had that experience here. I’ve had some unpleasant dustups with some leftists here but beyond having comments removed for being pro capitalist by .ml admins, I haven’t had any issues with moderation. Sure I’ve been heavily downvoted but I’ve never gotten banned.

If you want a place with no bans, then start up your own instance. Nobody can ban you. Sure they could defederate from you, but they couldn’t ban you.

If you want a platform that can’t ban anyone AND can’t block anyone, well you could make your own platform but I wouldn’t expect many to join you because nobody wants that.

We have the freedom to say what we want. We don’t have the freedom to force people to hear it though.

Or you can just use f-droid and research in advance if the application you need is on on f-droid and let that influence your purchasing decisions.

Exactly the reason I left. I was so pleased when Apollo for Lemmy in the form of wefwef/voyager existed too

I’m only about 4 missions in but the puzzle with the rail carts in the 3rd mission feels just like that. I hope there are more coming up

I beat blue shift in just 2 nights and I didn’t really stay up late either so I was surprised when it ended. At least it didn’t linger too long or have a bunch of annoying filler like “On a Rail” but it really felt like it ended in the first act

I agree that Opposing force has so many weapons that quite a few of them don’t get much time to shine. And a lot of them come in the last third of the game. Would have loved more chances to use the sniper and the squid gun.

I think blue shift is my favorite just due to the story but I do have to agree that none of the expansions can compete with the gameplay of the original.

Decay is its own thing. I’ve quite enjoyed almost more as an arcade experience where you can compete for the high score and get some more half life lore than it being its own stand alone thing.

Solid perspective, thanks for sharing

We live in a society

Is the predatory advertising that Apple allows towards children in apps that Apple allows on their app stores going to be stopped by this bill, or does this only affect their competitors?

If you tell the o3 reasoning model to just search the web and give you the top results instead of answering your query it can actually be really useful for obscure queries. I was able to find specific spec sheets for my model of monitor when a google search would only produce the specs for basically any other model the manufacturer made. Even with the model number in quotes

Apple is a hardware company first, not an advertising and services company like Google and Roku, and not a literal massive online retailer like Amazon.

Apple TV is the only one that doesn’t have ads on its home screen. I use an Apple TV to play all my physical media that has been ripped to mov and re-encoded with handbrake
