What did you replace Defender with?

I struggled with this. All I wanted was an eight inch tablet with a stylus. I eventually settled on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5, which I managed to source from my cell carrier. It's rugged, meaning it's approaching 9 inches with the thick bezel. Not one of my desired features, but I have small children so this is still a plus. All the pictures on the Samsung website are dudes wearing hard hats and reflective vests, and you can buy a rack for charging five of them at once, that's how aimed at construction workers it is. Also it has a push-to-talk key which I've bound to turning pages instead. Anyway, it fits in my (admittedly very large) pocket and I use it everyday. Oh, and you can easily replace the battery (if you don't live in Canada) but battery life isn't great. Performance is great though.

They're using an iPhone so F-Droid is off the table. Is it also an attack vector on iOS?

I've tried a bunch of list-based launchers but I've bounced off them all, even on my tablet where I use fewer apps. Still interested in other people's experiences, though. Maybe I'll try again.

Still worth mentioning for the FOSS devs who might be looking for features to include.

Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.

I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven't used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it's open source.

I don't recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don't get me wrong, Steam is good but I don't have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it's frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn't.

I don't currently need any games ported to Steam. Why do you? What's so special about Steam? Or is this just shorthand (longhand) for "on PC"?

I checked all the ones I had installed, no luck. Have you considered building one from source?

Can confirm it was a bit rough scrolling this in Boost, but interesting nonetheless. I feel like I remember Croc, but not very well.

If somebody could summarise it for me that would be great. I don't really care enough to watch it myself, but I'll want to be in the loop enough to know what people are talking about when they reference it.

A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I'm not aware of any game that's done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes "build unit X" is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn't work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.

Good enough for me. I've installed it to my phone and I'll probably never play it or think about it again, but there's a chance I'll give it a try someday!
