Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that as well! I love tactical shooters and have been really wanting to play HLL, but I never bought it because of anti-cheat. Seems like I can finally buy and play the game now :)

Are you sure about Hell Let Loose not working on Linux on your system? The ProtonDB page has many reports if HLL working fine since about a month.

It’s a reference to an old reddit post. In the post, the OP explained they had a knife at their toilet for poop that got stuck, hence the poopknife. It was only later in life when they asked a friend for their “poop knife”, when they discovered that nobody else has a knife like that and how weird it is.

My favorite GBA game is The Urbz: Sims in the City. The console version of the game wasn’t received very positively, but the GBA/DS version is a completely separate game, and a very good one. It’s a very goofy game with a lot of stupid (read: amazing) jokes, RPG elements, mini games, some of the best music in any GBA game and a lot more. I still revisit this game once in a while.

I even played the predecessor “Sims bustin out” for the GBA a few years ago. Urbz is way more refined than bustin out, but if you liked Urbz and you want more, Bustin Out is a great way to scratch that itch.

Ambitiousamphibian did a great video on this game a few months ago. He seems to feel exactly the same about this game as I do. Because of that, I will link it, but be aware that it contains a lot of spoilers and going blind into the game is the best way to play IMO.

I hate that LG left the market. A LOT of innovation came from them, including a lot of quircky (and often cool) features. They experimented a lot which didn’t always work out, but often it did work out great and it made their phones a lot more exciting then most other brands. Because of this a lot of features that are now the industry standard, like having a wide-angled camera lens, were popularized by LG. And yet, somehow, most people don’t know this and always saw it as a lesser brand.

That’s completely normal, and a large portion of people here in Europe would do the same as you do. There is this saying where “people in North America life to work, people in Europe work to life”. Because who cares if you make more money if you barely have the time to actually enjoy it?

Not trying to say one continent is better than the other, but it is a very clear difference in work-life balance mentality.

One of the reasons why I would buy a repairable phone is it’s reliability in the long run. For instance, my previous phone, a Nokia, had a broken USB-C port. Replacing it would be pretty hard to do myself, or expensive to let somebody else do it. And that is if you can find replacement parts at all. One of the main benefits of a phone like the Fairphone, is that I can just order a new port from the manufacturer for a low price, without any unexpected costs, and replace it in 15 minutes. I still have some photo’s on that phone because they were not automatically backed up. The Nokia also was pretty unusable even when it worked, because the software was borderline criminally bad. However, the bootloader was locked so I couldn’t change it.

buying a second ahnd flagship is also a great way to save a bit on the environment, but it’s won’t be as reliable, the condition of the battery will probably be worse and you’ll have to watch out that you don’t buy a phone that doesn’t get any updates anymore (or at least has a unlocked bootloader if you’re willing to flash a custom ROM)

Yes, it does have a microSD card slot. The website isn’t the most clear website ever, but if you click on “Specifications” and then “See all specifications” everything will be shown, including a MicroSD card slot

In that case I’m afraid I don’t know any solution, hopefully you’ll find something that fits your needs. If you needed to cast Youtube-videos and such, I would’ve shared my own bodged method that combines KDE Connect, MPV and a regex-enabled fork of “handlr”.

Do you specificly want to cast your screen? Or do you want to cast things like YouTube videos and music?

Love the app and this roadmap looks like something to look forward to!

I’m experiencing a bug though, and have some suggestions that I wanted to share. If you need any more info/dumps for the bug, feel free to reach out.

The bug: the info on my own profile page has not been retrieving new information. The last comment that is shown to me, is this one, even though I’ve made a lot more comments since. It is also notable that the app shows it as a comment that was posted “one month ago”, while the website tells me it’s a two month old comment.

Suggestion/bug: When writing a comment, the button to add an URL works not as expected. When I select a text and press the button, I expect it to use the selected text to fill in the " Text"-textbox with that text, so I can easily add a URL to a text that has already been typed. Right now, it does not fill in the textbox automatically and when I tap “OK”, it overwrites the original text. Would be a great QoL improvement to autofill this.

Suggestion: I don’t know if this option is included in the customization part of the roadmap, but I would really appreciate an option to male the bottom bar sticky, or in other words: to be able to disable the auto hide functionality. I understand why people prefer the larger screen space, but personally I prefer the consistency of a locked bar. Maybe with an additional quick setting to switch between manually hide/show/autohide the bar?

Suggestion: An option to customize your quick settings, preferably with all regular options available so you can really customize it to your liking.

Suggestion: Option to give set specific themes to specific accounts. I think it could be a great visual indication if you could tie a theme to an account. So for instance: when I’m logged into this account, my app uses a red theme, but when I switch to a different account, the app uses a yellow theme.

Edit: I also just noticed that this post shows up as a 5 hour old post, but the comments are up to (almost) a month old.

I think a LoRaWAN based tracker might be perfect for you. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Loko myself:

Thunder had been my favorite Lemmy app for a while now. I’ve tried others and some have a lot of potential, but Thunder is the app that does most things the way I like it. Congrats on the launch!

Interesting! I’m going to look into it, thanks!

I wish for AP to have RSS feeds, but they don’t. I think they and Reuters are aome of the better outlets out there and I’ve been (re)discovering RSS lately, but AP is one of the few news outlets that don’t seem to support it :(

As they should. The earlier you start with scripting, the more time you can save by spending hours on writing a script that saves 2 seconds of time.

Have you ever tried out Micro? I use Neovim myself, but I’ve played around with Micro. It basiclly takes some good things from Nano, vim and keybindings from modern GUI texteditors, and mixes those together. It’s very good for an easy-to-use text editor

I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I’m trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.

Both are great options though and both have it’s pro’s and cons. I’m also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.

I’m also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I’m really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.

I think being categorized as an alternative to a platform is based on it’s functionality, not the way you pay for it. It’s about what purpose it has to the user.

Besides that, you pay for Youtube as well, but with your data and maybe YT Premium.
