Mint on my ancient MacBook because I didn’t really know any better and it’s working just nice for me, and Asahi/Fedora on my M1 mini, because it’s the only option.

Have you thought about using Arch?

I use Arch, btw.

‘Land of the free’, init.

I reckon it’s been a good ten years since I had a data cap on my home internet. These days I pay £30 a month for unlimited 900mbps fibre and it’s wonderful.

I remember OnLive. I was waiting for it to become usable, then…nothing.

And longevity. I have a 2011 MBP thats now running Debian and is still a tank. I’ve had two MacBooks since I got it but the damn thing refuses to die.

My daily laptop is an M2 Air which is ridiculously powerful for my needs, so when Apple drop OS support for it I’ll put Asahi on it and keep it trucking until the wheels fall off.

And that 2011 will still be going.

Yeah, that’s the attitude I take with this shit now.

I play a stupid colour matching game on my iPad that’s almost scientifically designed to try and rinse money out of users’ pockets, but I’ve got to a place where I see the offers and last chances and know that even if I did pay for a few boosts or power ups, it’s not going to bring me enlightenment.

That’s not to shit on OP’s point, mind. Microtransactions really are a menace, preying on those who are least able to ignore them, who are often least able to afford them. But it’s a world we’ve kinda made by not wanting to pay for games.

That said, how much is WoW these days? Paying a monthly fee AND getting bombarded with ways to spend more money is straight-up cunty.

Oh SMASNUG!

oh no, my pkcell

Yeah, after this I had the Vario III, which was an HTC Kaiser. The phone was great (if somewhat underpowered), but WinMob was still clunky and shit.

My next phone after that was an iPhone 3GS, and I’ve been iPhone ever since.

“A guy” Give Mr Mobile his due! The man’s a legend!

A friend of mine had the Droid.

At that point I was rocking the T Mobile Vario, which I believe was an HTC. It was, sadly, dog shit. Windows Mobile was not a fun time.

Mario Kart DS.

Shit’s a masterpiece.

Relevant XKCD

I loved To The Moon, which fits your requirements, I think. The sequels are fine, but the stories are pretty well standalone, so you could play just the first one and leave it at that. And it’s only £1.70.

I finished that last week, and yeah, it’s wonderful.

We use Google Forms and Sheets at work, precisely because easy for a bunch of us to access, and our boss is tight as fuck, so it being free is a massive draw.

I keep looking to other ways to perform the few functions we use, but ultimately I lack the knowledge and resources to roll my own.

Yeah, that seems about right.

Anyone who doesn’t think that the end goal for the Cybertruck isn’t military/police contracts hasn’t really been paying attention to how tech firms grow.

I’m mostly surprised that no US police departments have any of them yet.

Elon basically saw the Robocop action toys from the ‘90s and thought “Yes, I want that to be real”.

Landlords are vermin, AI is peddled by vermin, and spambots are vermin.
