Lo and behold, I have Ubisoft wallet funds! And it just happens to be that it's everyone's favourite time to buy games, Cyber Monday.

So, my question for all the Lemmings out there is: What are your top five (5) must-play Ubisoft games? I'm talking pseudo-classics, like AC2. Gems from the past decade that can run on anyone's hardware. Note that the older the game is, the higher the discount is, and thus more accessible.

And...Discuss!

Kids Online Safety Act will allow Attorney Generals to Censor the News. by Kevin11 in c/technology@lemmy.world

Facts. Just talking to educated people today, it is clear that there is a major disparity in knowledge and understanding when it comes to technology.

And yeah. Download Tor for free and bada-bing bada-boom, your kid now has access to not only the entire internet, but also the actual dark side of the Internet. Which is arguably an even worse environment than just straight-up internet.

For now, the only real solution is good parenting. Which again, as you mentioned, is getting harder and harder.

Somewhat off-topic, but the general trend of anti-family sentiment in society troubles me for a number of reasons.

I think everyone can agree that child safety is important. But the fact internet as it stands is not safe for kids is completely undeniable.

As always, however, censorship is not the solution, especially not if it's headed by government. I'm honestly not sure what the solution is.

Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity by Kevin11 in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

What if, instead of perpetuating the narrative of diet culture and "healthy food" vs. "junk food", we worked harder to provide food for those who actually need food. What if, and hear me out here, we educated people on making healthy decisions and more importantly, maintaining a healthy, positive relationship with food and their bodies?

Finally, an actual joke. I thought we were on an internet-argument-cesspool sub.

Thanks for the tip! I think I'll give KISS launcher a second try, because the first time I set it up, I found it annoying. Probably because I only used it for 5 minutes and then dropped it. :)

Wow, Nova can do all that?? I had no idea, that's super cool! I've been avoiding Nova since I learned that it'd been bought by some data company, classic internet rumour, but I might have to give that a shot!

I love Lawnchair! I've been using it for a while and if I don't find another alternative launcher, I'll probably just return to it. Or stock pixel launcher.

What do you like about it?

It really is. It's super clean and I love the gestures. I just wish I could put some widgets or shortcuts on the home screen, it feels kind of empty to me. Definitely at the top of my list.

Hey all, newbie to the Lemmy, signed up recently.

Also a relative android newbie, I've had a pixel 6 for about a year and a half.

I've played around with tasker, KWGT, KLWP, and all kinds of other power-user techie apps, so I'm reasonably confident in my ability to tinker with my phone.

I've been experimenting with my launcher, having gone with stock pixel launcher for my first half, and then using Lawnchair 12 for the second half, I wanted to try something new.

So, I open the floor up to you guys! What launcher are you using, what do you enjoy, and most importantly, why do you enjoy it? What sets your launcher apart?

I know there are a lot of us who came here from Reddit, so I kinda want to know why and how you fellas got here, and from where.

Bonus points if you explain why you're excited about Lemmy and the Fediverse, or, alternatively, share why your worried or annoyed at Lemmy and the Fediverse.

I'll go first: I was really tired of putting Reddit at the end of every Google search, and so I decided that I'd probably get better results from the same crowd of people (techie, open-source privacy geeks like myself lol) from the Fediverse. I originally wanted to join /kbin (not sure if that's how it's formatted) but I noticed that they didn't have an Android app, so I went with Lemmy for now until kbin has an app I can use. I struggled to decide what instance I wanted to use, but eventually decided to join Lemdro.id because, well, I enjoy android I guess. (And it doesn't really matter) I'm excited to see what happens with the whole Threads thing, as well as the Fediverse at large, considering the massive growth most platforms are experiencing at the moment. It sounds corny, but I feel like I'm a part of a new chapter in the Internet and the world's history, you know? I mean I'm not exactly an early adopter, but I'm earlier than everyone after me, you know? I am worried about the same social issues that plagued reddit appearing here, which would make me sad. I just don't want to see the same political discourse on the Fediverse, because otherwise, what actually sets us apart from regular vanilla reddit, then?

(Edit) Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean for reddit-migration stories specifically, I just wanted to talk about how we all got here!
