Yeah, I mean the snap app shown above is being deprecated so there’s not even a choice. If you’re using Authy on PC you have to switch.

https://connections.swellgarfo.com has the connections from nyt, and even lets you play all the previous ones. Same with https://connectionsplus.io

If that happens, you can just switch to another distro. That’s the point of Linux

You should check out all the games on that site, they’re very good. There’s even a free mobile app with no ads

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

*electric eel. Electric eels are not eels.

Several scientists told Vox that there are significant issues with the study design.

Oh yeah, AskReddit went to shit a while ago. It used to be my favourite subreddit, but it changed about 5 years ago I think.

Lol, I mean it’s better to have a brief period of drama than permanently put up with the bad management. Although Sodium is an exception to that, I think the people working on it are the right people.

I’m conflicted on the license change, though. I don’t know if it makes sense or not.

Intelligence is knowing that Scooby Doo taught us that the real monsters are the humans.

Me and Mike is not any harder to understand than Mike and I. It is harder for the speaker to always make sure they’re using the correct form, though. The extra effort for the speaker must also be considered. Sure, if you’re writing a book you should probably try to use the correct form, but in casual conversation it does not matter, and is more effort than it’s worth (at least in this case)

I did just that when I first switched to Linux, I installed KDE Neon on Linux Mint. And it broke everything. And when I went to forums to ask for help everyone yelled at me. So maybe don’t recommend installing KDE on Linux Mint.

Most relatable comic I’ve seen in a while

Can confirm this is true because the same was true for my mum. She was against the COVID vaccine, but then she started believing that the theories were started by the Chinese government to target people who don’t listen to the authorities.

The problem is I don’t have an old phone. But yeah I eventually figured that out for a game that I couldn’t find online. So what I did was created an emulator on my computer with an old version of Android and logged into my account on that.

Fuck google. I just want to be able to play minit on my phone, but no, Google says it’s not good enough for me because they haven’t updated the app in a while. You know, like most games. Of course they haven’t updated the app, the game is finished, they’ve moved on from it.

Maybe the whole abandonware thing applies to regular apps, but in my experience most games without microtransactions get updated for a bit when they’re released and then never again. Because there’s no reason to update your game once you’ve fixed all the bugs, unless you’re not adding new content.

I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve thought about a game that I used to like and looking for it on the Play Store, only to find out it’s been taken down and I have to go for an hour long search through sketchy sites to find it. It’s fine if you only play new games, but from my experience, the majority of old games are just not available, unless they’re made by a studio that’s still big enough to keep up with the requirements. For no good reason.

I would fully understand having a warning for old apps. They could even hide them from recommendations. But if I want to install an “abandoned” app, I should be able to.

Right, so Ubuntu

Nah I’m pretty sure it’s still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they’re still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/
