Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don't run on Linux.

Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they're mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.

~~Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe...~~

Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers...

If the document isn't DRMed, then it would be pretty noble. Who knows, maybe once the original document is lost in the sands of time and becomes lost media, your copies will be the only few ones left.

Let's not forget this art is on the top of all time list of the furry_irl subreddit, and I even thought this was posted on a furry_irl communities before looking at this community's name.

To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

Generally, I tend to focus on smaller creators, their qualities are usually better.

The channels I watched include Nitro Rad (gaming), MattKC (tech), and Modern Vintage Gamer (retro console/gaming).

Singular they rule (pawb.social)

ALT TEXT:

  • Panel 1: A person with the text "Singular 'they'" written on them smiling with open arms.
  • Panel 2: "Singular 'They'" beaten up by others who said, "Singular they is ungrammatical. It's too confusing," "How can anyone use plural pronouns for singular," and "Every pronoun should only have one purpose."
  • Panel 3: "You" hiding from the mob who was beating "Singular 'They'"
  • Panel 4: "German 'Sie'" hiding with even more fear next to "You"

Some browser supports blocking videos from autoplaying, Firefox is one of them but maybe chrome has similar options too. Check the browser settings.

Not that I hated it. It's actually nostalgic seeing all the meme templates I grew up with once more.

ALT TEXT: An image of a velociraptor contemplating with the caption: why are we posting old memes? Well, if Lemmy feels like old internet forums, then the memes must also match

Hey, they say "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" didn't they.

I have quite a few recommendations. They are not quite non-freemium since they are free, but if your reason to prefer non-freemium is to avoid ads and in app purchases, then none of these games have them. They are all also open source and the link I provided below will be for their respective F-Droid version (note: some of these games are not available on Google Play Store):

  • Simon Tatham's Puzzle - A collection of many puzzle games ported to Android. The puzzles include Minesweeper, Net, Sudoku, and more.
  • Simple Solitaire Collection - As the name says, it's a collection of card-based Solitaire games.
  • Simple Brick Games - A game that imitates very basic handheld with very small pixel count. Games include tetris, breakout, and more.
  • 1010 Klooni - A puzzle game where you have to use various shaped blocks to fill an entire horizontal or vertical line.
  • Tower Jumper - This is a clone of a popular android game in which you move a jumping ball and try to reach the end of a tower avoiding the obstacles.
  • Ball2Box - A puzzle game about shooting a ball into the box.
  • Anuto - Another ugly tower defense.

This particular game requires far more attention and strategy than the ones listed above, but it can be played once every few minutes if you constantly save and reload (just don't play online):

  • Unciv - 4X civilization-building game, similar to Sid Meier's Civilization series.

The story of how I got my name was both interesting and mundane.

I played a videogame named Stardew Valley and created a female character there. I don't really think about it much when choosing her name, I just wanted a plant-related feminine name so I chose Jasmine.

Many weeks later, my egg cracked and I randomly chose Jasmine as my new name. Later that day, I realized that the name was the same as my Stardew character.

Unless it's 2020, then saying "It doesn't smell like anything here" is concerning...

For context

Civet Cat Coffee, otherwise known as Luwak Coffee, is made out of the poop of a civet cat that was fed with coffee. Without their poop, the coffee wouldn't exist, hence the meme.

ALT TEXT: Everytime I pooped (followed by an image of a civet cat), you get coffee. Imagine the entire luwak coffee industry collapsing because these MFs don't poop for three days.
