I can totally see why you wouldn't like Snowrunner ... I love it, and doing rescue missions to recover flipped trucks and struggling through hard terrain at a slow pace are the parts I like about it, lol

The best way to clear a blocked road is to drive a police car into the obstruction?

Here it usually involves workers dismantling and taking stuff away.

Same thing with The Guardian, where their feminist opinion pieces were written by an actively transphobic woman for a long time after it was considered not-cool.

It's funny how you describe team sports for kids, when I was young it was always used as a system to punish the weak.

Anywho, my favourite hobbies that keep me fit have all been based on not being in a team. Mountain biking was always the best, but now my knees disagree so I'm doing 3D / field archery ... I've managed to make a new friend through that, so even though I'm crap I still enjoy going :-)

The lady on the right might be a Sith!

I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don't know of any other Moes.

Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years ... I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can't connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google's old apps can still get live data without problems.

Yes, it's a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.

It doesn't have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it's far newer than the old Android phone.

I can't use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there's nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.

I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.

For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.

Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.

Most of what's held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I've never had with a PC. I've had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software

Similarly to this, I mostly don't read or engage with news feeds on social media and keep up to date by reading a local news site that's curated by hand and the international version of the guardian website for the big stuff ... although the Guardian is generally doom and gloom there are upbeat stories listed too and it's not a never-ending list of depression like Facebook/reddit/some communities on Lemmy.

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from "España Vaciada", life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well ... but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it's rather shit.

I'm fully on board with "tourists go home". If we get more holiday let's in the village we're thinking of moving more inland.

Just what we need, libertarian ogres ...

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

I'm looking forwards to getting stuck into the story mode this weekend, though I have to wonder if I'll be able to finish it given how long it's been since I've played anything that needs reflexes, lol

Mostly I got the game to play with my partner, and on that front it's been excelent so far :-)

Its prime prog-rock, by all means check out their other stuff, along with things like Hawkwind. Some of it looses the path but a lot doesn't :-)

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!

What good native Linux ARM games are there?

Thanks! So far it's really really good and everything works (the WM is so nice), except I can't use HDMI from my laptop which might be a show stopper :-/

This is great, because it located me about a full day's drive from where I live, so I'm still pretty anonymous :-)
