Honestly, I've heard or read very little about Iraq after the war, so I have no idea what happened there since then. Unfortunately I think the country is still mostly being associated with war and crisis here in Germany. I think it's a very interesting place especially for its ancient history though. Some of the first highly developed civilizations arose there. Would love to visit places like Ur, Babylon or Nineveh one day.

I see. The developer once using a generic "he" on a different project and being snarky about it would be pretty low on my reasons not to use Ladybird, but I had no intentions to use it anyway, so eh.

Kinda true in Europe though. Don't know anyone who uses iMessage, it's pretty much irrelevant. I know the situation in the US is quite different, but ultimately they don't regulate for the US market.

It's such an Apple thing to put a giant glass panel on the front of a VR headset, which you're likely to sometimes bump into things when in immersive mode, and then charge $800 for a replacement.

That's because of ONE UI, they're not part of vanilla Android.

A lie needs to be intentional. If they meant to fulfill the promise, it wasn't a lie.

On the other hand I don't see why being there in person has to be required for anyone. He can say exactly the same things remotely.

Absolutely makes sense for most planets to be rather barren. What I found a bit disappointing so far - keeping in mind I started yesterday and I'm only a few hours in - is how mostly when you land on a planet there is a key point of interest (an outpost, a mining facility, a city etc) at a landing site and then immediately a whole lot of randomly generated nothing around it. No roads or paths, NPCs, houses etc. I haven't really been to a place where I got that Skyrim feeling of going out into the wilderness and finding interesting things. I hope that later on there are at least a few areas with more substantial exploration. Still enjoying the game though.

I think a big difference is the temporary nature of threads on Lemmy/Reddit. On forums, a new reply pushes a thread back to the front of the page, which leads to discussions that can go on for months or years. On Lemmy, a discussion is active for a few days at most, with the exception of stickied threads. It leads to a different discussion culture and I do sometimes miss that aspect of forums.

Yup. No way to give it a 5/10. With so many people (IMO rightfully) disappointed with what they turned Overwatch into, of course they won't recommend it. Though no doubt some people now only want to pile on the negative reviews for fun.

During rush hour you definitely won't have a distance of 10 meters between each car though.

• Makes it smaller so it fits in pockets easily
• Screen is protected while it's closed
• Can use it as a simple tripod by half-opening it
• Flipping a phone open is fun
