No one lives under the lighthouse

Horror on a tiny deserted island with PS1 look&feel:

Steam

Used to be a system engineer / admin.

Then i took an arrow to the knee.

Now i do agile stuff and paperwork :) .... a lot of paperwork

No

I’ll have to say Cloud Punk.

A small indie game about a girl starting her courier job in a cyberpunk future.

• The game-play is okayish
• The graphics try to emulate a voxel look and are functional at best.
• The Sound design, music and the full synchronisation make this game exceptional!

The story captured me and together with the audio and visual style kept me playing way into the small hours.

I never really understood that:

If I'm using my browser to do banking via the website, Having root privileges and tampering with the Browser running the applications is not an issue.

If i use the banking app, Having root privileges suddenly become a problem.

--> To me, it doesn't look like the problem is technical, but that users are accepting things on mobile that they wouldn't accept on a PC.

Honourable mention for Sailfish OS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish_OS

The commercial version comes with an android emulator.

It's not recommended for non-technical people, it sometimes crashes, it has random bugs that will drive you insane, and currently the weather app can't connect to the service that provides the weather data.

But:

The people making it are not seeing you as the product and you will be free of all the bullshit.

..... and i love it :)

Good! Let's keep it that way

Yep, i would have paid full price, but I won't buy from epic, and i won't pay mor then 5$ for anything that was previously exclusive to this abomination.

Fuck 'em!

I verry much like OMV, simply because i could use it with knowledge i already have.

It is a Debian system -> I understand that

It uses normal RAID and ext4 -> I understand that (Plus, if things go wrong, I can just pop the drives back into any other computer and use it without much fuss)

It has a rSnapshot plug in -> I already used that in the past.

Sure I'm missing out on fancy stuff like BTRFS / ZFS, but i can live with that.

I learned this a while ago and I'm still mad about it. >.<

It really does feel a bit like the old days ^tm (IRC and random PHP boards for me) and it gives me a bit of hope that some of the spirit of the old Wild West Internet is still here. To be honest I engaged more with lemmy in the last few days, then with anything in the last 5 Years.

Unfortunately, I think the feediverse in its unpolished, unoptimised and non-compliant state will run into some legal trouble as soon as it hits a certain popularity threshold.

*Looking at you EU and your relentless drive towards censorship >.>

In the worst case, we will have to rebuild a feediverse in the darker corners of the net.

This topic came up in a couple of posts here before, with different proposed solutions like

• "only local users should have a vote"
• "only trusted users should have a vote"
• "only paying users should have a right to vote"

I too see the potential for fake votes becoming a problem, but at the moment i don't like the solutions.

at some point we probably will have to vote on it. ;)
