They did, but you only need that to play windows games. You can also use wine or play native Linux games.

Should have done a valve and allowed selling anywhere but require price parity. Now from their greed there will be financial incentive for people to use another platform.

I like them, I prefer sandbox games over linear ones. I think it’s the sandbox nature of the game that matters more than open world though.

Well I am almost.there, currently let it grow for a few weeks before trimming back to as close as the trimmer gets without the guard on.

Currently use very cheap clippers, a lot less than $50, IIRC it was like £7. They take AA batteries. Not sure how long they will last for but probably cheapest as far as £/shave out of the options listed as its cheap enough that it shouldn’t have to last too long to be better than all the other options so far.

Problem with the more expensive rechargeable ones is that the lithium batteries will eventually die and lithium batteries + charging circuitry adds a fair bit of cost to every device they go in compared to AA batteries that I can buy 1 charger for and use between multiple devices. Downside with the AA trimmer, the rest of it is cheap shit quality and there are no other choices available that I have been able to find. I would probably be fairly happy to buy a slightly better one that used AA batteries.

Looked up the corded ones, apparently they just run 230v directly, which sounds spicy next to water but oh well. Was expecting them to be like 5-12v and then an amusing option could be sticking some AAs together - getting one of those special electrical sockets put into the bathroom isn’t a cost I want to bother with.

What is the cheapest and lowest effort option if you don’t care if the shave is overly close or not. Like a mm isn’t going to bother me.

Work harder, Europe and China need their cheap electronics.

I support the use of AdNauseam. Not sure if there are any more extreme alternatives, I now choose to be actively hostile towards advertising/tracking rather than just passively blocking it.

What do you mean, like a humans name? Pretty sure it doesn’t. I can get one with cash and top it up with cash. Until pretty recently this is what I did. Pricing changes mean I now pay £4/month instead which would be tied to my card.

But you aren’t allowed to mention Luigi

So basically Windows in S mode?

Yeah guess I don’t really care for most of it. Can get anything I want as an apk or mostly just on fdroid. VLC and an SSH client would be nice.

That is people you might already know, not people you might like to get to know

How easy is it to degoogle Android? Don’t currently use Android or iOS but dumb phone options are getting pretty limited these days.

If I got an Android phone I would probably be looking at something second hand because fuck paying 3 figures on a phone. I know I wouldn’t use data at all, call/SMS SIM only. I guess another option is not needing to degoogle it as it will never talk to google once I have finished downloading maps of the country for OSMand and a few other apps. Then it can be on Wi-Fi to allow communication with my PC over LAN but don’t allow it access to the internet.

If it never touches the internet after setup I guess outdated OS doesn’t matter too much.

A platform with so many people and that knows so much about them, if they really wanted to slap AI on it why not an AI matchmaker for making friends?

Want to make it profitable? Sell activities through it. “Meet a potential friend and go bowling, click to buy your ticket”. While FB siphon off a bit of profit on the ticket sales.

I live in one where refusing to decrypt it for them results in a 2 year prison sentence.

And yes, if you forget you will still be charged.

Most people I know work within a distance they could easily cycle. All of them go to shops that could easily be cycled to. Yet they all drive pretty much every time.

It’s not so much about eliminating all cars, but discouraging their use for so much. Most people drive even if it’s less than a mile. My partner is often surprised at how quickly I can cycle to the shops and back, well yeah I didn’t have to wait in traffic of course it’s faster. Would be even faster if I had an ebike, probably, not sure how fast I can cycle compared to the 15mph ebike limit. I know I can sprint well into the upper 20s but sustained speed will be a lot less than that.

On a home PC, what for? The only data that really matters to be encrypted is my keepass database file. Giving the option is fine but I don’t think it should done without asking the user to choose.

Just have to be European. Live on the south coast in the UK and life is so easy here.

IIRC this often comes up and actually removing cars generally helps people with disabilities. Sure you may always have a few exceptions, but disabled parking can still exist while everyone that is able bodied can walk.
