The Kestrel Cruiser from FTL. Even though it's not even the coolest ship in the game, The Kestrel is still the most nostalgic for me.

It brings me back to when I first played FTL a decade ago. I was a kid back then and loved the game so much, I even built and painted a cardboard Kestrel model.

Also helps that I have a heinously large 512gb sd card lol

Do you back it up?

Visual Studio Ultimate is so heavy though. I wouldn't want to use it for anything other than the languages it was designed for.

RedReader is still allowed to exist due to its extensive accessibility options.

The other thing is just how much I hate Windows Update. I can tolerate most parts of Windows, but WU is objectively terrible. It's incredibly slow, requires multiple restarts (sometimes forced!) amd sometimes fails with random errors that are impossible to troubleshoot.

It goes without saying that most Linux package managers work incredibly well in comparison.

Linux?

It's so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.

Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.

Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.

You wouldn't brick a car...

You learned that the hard way?

This video is from 7 years ago.

We did it Lemmy!

Yep those are the two I use!

The word instance is fine, and makes sense if you think about it for five seconds.

Photos is cool but weirdly much lower than every other gallery app.

There are so many different "privacy browsers" for Android, that it can be hard to keep track of them. FFUpdater is the one place I can find all of the good browsers, as well as information about each (including Warnings on why you may not want to use them).

No, it's not at all the same company, despite using the same Philips brand. Philips split up into several separate companies. The healthcare division is the only thing left of the original Philips company.

The feature that Liftoff has is automatic redirects. So for example if I am lemmy.one user and want to subscribe to !memes@lemmy.ml, clicking the Subscribe button on the Liftoff app will offer to redirect me to lemmy.one/c/memes@lemmy.ml. On the web interface, you would have to manually go to that domain.

Also all the links in my comment automatically open in the Liftoff app.

At least on Liftoff it's incredibly easy.

Forced me to explain my ASD to the class. This was after I made a lot of progress in my early childhood; by the time I got to highschool I no longer thought my former ASD diagnosis defined who I am, and I preferred to keep it to myself. I certainly didn't want people to think of me differently because of it, but my teacher thought otherwise.
