I honestly don’t know because I didn’t play either of those. I’d say it looks pretty similar to Valheim but I have no idea how the combat feel compares.

Omg this is so troll-y, what in the every ungodly hell does that do if you run it?? What is this? How have I missed this for years? lol.

It is based on Debian (Droidian to be specific I believe), which to me reads as a fork or maybe a distro flavor with out of the box tweaks to specifically work with the hardware they are selling.

They say they aren’t stopping you from installing anything else you want on the phone, they just aren’t going to offer help getting a different OS to work, which is reasonable to me.

Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man’s Sky but haven’t redownloaded it yet.

I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn’t like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn’t much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I’m happy to say I haven’t felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there’s interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. “Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!”

I like it so far.

Exciting stuff.

This triggered me though, lol:

I’m already seriously considering giving this a go as my next phone soon. My current phone is desperately in need of replacement.

If it goes well I will be vocal about it.

Maybe shit like this will push them down that road faster. We need options for sure.

I could have sworn I had a bank card for a while with a 6-digit pin… Am I crazy? Is that impossible? Or is the joke worn out?

Roads. It is pretty common around where I grew up to notice you are in a different states when there is a sudden shift in road conditions. They never communicated about when to do repairs or anything, so it was almost always an obvious line between either a really shit road and a smooth one, or vice versa. Sometimes you could even tell based on the noise or feel of the road, if the other state uses different road construction materials.

I think way more of windows 11 is just edge in a trenchcoat than anyone wants to admit…

Can’t get away from it at work and i hate it. All we need computers for at work is web access and file sharing, but they still won’t budge from daddy Microsoft.

Prosecutors are not cops. The prosecutors can never win a case if the cops dont investigate first. The comment you replied to never mentioned prosecutors bringing a case, only cops investigating a case.

From what I can tell most of the roadblock is drivers for hardware support. Basically every price of hardware has to have a reverse engineered driver to work. We need hardware mfrs on board to really gain traction in this arena.

Still, I’m pretty sure my next phone is going to be a Linux phone. I know I’ll lose functionality but if I can make calls, send texts, and browse the web I’ll get by. Hopefully that space keeps gaining traction and it won’t be long until it is a truly viable option to replace google/apple products.

Yea. Why are there so many sizes of clothes anyway? The average person doesn’t need pants with a 44 inch waist. And so many food options? The average person doesn’t need anything more than nutrient rich gruel.

In all seriousness, I’ve always thought the platters were extremely thin inside a HDD, but never actually had one open. That looks quite thick actually.

Weirder to me is how many of them seem to work as a team or group… I saw one get into the back seat of the car when they left the other day… How many people you got crammed in that SUV making one below-minimum-wage paycheck??

Parents don’t have access to every device children have access to either

Either parents or the school… and if the school doesn’t have a pretty significantly locked down network, that’s a separate problem.

Also, you’re right, I misspoke. While some of the bigger websites have decent-ish parental controls, I was more thinking of device specific parental controls. The amount you can lock-down (and monitor) a phone you give your 12 year old is pretty impressive. I’d rather parents did that than hand the monitoring, censoring, and access over to various government agencies all over the world.

“I need internet at home for work!” - Okay, so plug in the one computer you work on? Do you really need to blast 100% of your home with internet via Wi-Fi, probably not. Even if you do (for some reason), why do you then also have to give little Timmy a Wi-Fi capable tablet at all? Download some episodes of Paw Patrol and let your kid watch them offline…

I know none of this is actually about protecting kids… But even if it was, their reasoning and methodology sucks.

some of the 16 to 21-year-olds surveyed saying they had viewed it “aged six or younger”.

So there may have been a problem at least 10 years ago. Does that problem still exist? (never mind the obvious “is the problem parents ignoring their kids on a tablet”…)

Josh Lane was addicted to porn by 14-years-old after first finding it via a Google search when he was aged 12.

Okay, now let’s address the parents being the problem. By default, Google’s “Safe Search” is on, and the kid actively searched for porn. So no parental supervision of the 12 year old kid on the internet. Someone setup a google account, and changed the default settings to show those results. (oh, but that person is 25 now, so that was also 13 years ago…)

Almost all of the big websites have parental control settings that would alleviate the vast majority of these “problems” if parents actually used them. Parents being willfully ignorant isn’t going to be resolved by legislation. They know that. This is all a smoke screen to put the entire population behind a firewall and control the narrative. It isn’t even a very thick smoke screen.

None of this is actually about cheating. All of these companies want control over as many people as they can get their grubby fat fingers around.
