  • Some small markdown suggestions:

    • Headers require a space after the number signs, like:
      ## **THE LIST**
    • I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well
    • Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are each subsections of the "THE LIST" section
  • I think changing it to something like "List of my favorite 100% Free Games - no ads, no IAPs" should suffice. To me, that comes off as having a more genuine/personal feel

  • And careful throwing around terms like "100% Free" around here, considering most of the titles in your list are not free open source software in the "libre" sense that Lemmy users tend to expect more than Reddit users do.

  • Anything on F-Droid should fit your criteria, but here is what I have installed:

  • General

    • Updated to a newer Arch Linux base

    • Bluetooth controllers can now wake LCD units from sleep, previously only available on OLED models
      • Known issue: Bluetooth LE based controllers are not currently compatible with bluetooth wake on LCD models

    Steam Deck Dock

    • Made compatibility improvements for certain displays including TCL FireTV models and Dell VRR capable monitors

    Graphics and Performance

    • Enabled AMD P-State CPU frequency control

    • When running in a VM, system will now default to the desktop session
    • Swap file setup now uses standard 'mkswap' functionality instead of shipping an ad-hoc 'mkswapfile' script

  • Yeah, I cannot find it documented anywhere. Which is probably on purpose, to avoid malicious actors finding out ways to bypass it. But you can find plenty of users on Reddit and whatnot complaining about how they are not getting registration emails for whatever services in their new Proton email accounts, then it suddenly works just fine when they try again ten days later.

  • Is your Proton account new? I believe Proton automatically filters out verification emails like that until the account reaches a certain age. As a means of restricting users from creating an anonymous throwaway Proton account to use just to sign up for another service to abuse it. Verification emails will not appear in your spam/junk/deleted folder or anything. You will just not receive them in any way at all. I am not sure how many days it takes for that restriction to be automatically lifted.

  • Be the reason the corporate PR team has to get involved.

  • Is there even a reason they exist? Like, is it actually important to a biologist or something to say "herd of cows" instead of "group of cows"?

  • Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.

  • YOU GET INTO INTERNET ARGUMENTS ALL THE TIME, YOU FUNGDARK! YOU'RE IN ONE NOW!

  • But that just makes it seem discriminatory and unbalanced so apparently some managers want the theatrics 24/7 to avoid the complaints of unfair treatment.

    This was in the back of my mind the entire time I was reading your comment. They may want to stop shoppers based only on when they see red-flag items in their cart, but that would leave things open for the door hosts to (consciously or not) stop shoppers based on the appearance of the shopper themselves. To mitigate that gray area, they decide to just stop everybody.

  • General note for spoilers: ACTUALLY MENTION WHAT IT IS YOU ARE CONCEALING. State which season, which movie, which franchise, SOMETHING. Don't make me have to peek at the spoiler to determine whether or not it is something I have seen already, or if it is appropriate to view in my current setting.

  • In a more realistic Stargate, they wouldn't need a different language for every planet. Just a different dialect of Egyptian or Goa'uld. Which is something that I would expect the SGC to be able to create an effective automatic translator to bridge.

  • The GrapheneOS devs have been working on enabling this with all their hardening tweaks
