Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
I looked for this and it sort of doesn’t exist. I need it for a technologically challenged family member who gets hopelessly confused by smart phones. I have had the idea of writing an Android dumbify app that runs in kiosk mode (i.e. there is no way to exit it) that just disables everything except phone calls, and keeps the phone keypad permanently on the screen, like an old fashioned phone with physical buttons. It’s on my infinite todo list.
A minimalist launcher is probably the easiest possible solution to that. Aster for example is available on F-Droid. The only issue I could see is it not having a lock function that would prevent them from accidentally entering some sort of edit mode.
I think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?
The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.
I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.
What is in synthetic clam juice?
If you are into the Lego video you may want to check out Brick Experiment Channel
Or switching profiles in GrapheneOS so I can look at my Google apps
I feel like he would continue trying even after his turn limit if he won
I don’t think there’s much escaping that besides finding a small niche instance or blocking communities that aren’t relevant to you.
Each social media site has a stereotype demographic and I don’t see Lemmy’s changing in the foreseeable future.
Redditors using “This” is another thing I hated. It adds nothing to the conversation and came off as someone fishing for upvotes
I miss a lot of the smaller dedicated communities. There were a lot there were essentially mirrored from Reddit but a lot of the userbase disappeared. They are widely federated and posts get votes and comments but there’s not a lot of people putting out content.
What I don’t miss is the power mods and all the auto mods. They just get tiring.
It probably doesn’t help that it’s abandonware and was limited largely to the PC and Xbox 360.
A lot of people only hear about it in “top abandonware games” lists that would mention it and games like Alpha Protocol which was recently relisted.
Do you have any other games where the first hour was extremely enjoyable?
I felt that way about Returnal
I feel like 2006 was a bit like a rollercoaster. You kind of just enjoy the ride and eagerly await what’s coming next. It helps it’s a relatively short game by today’s standards with HowLongToBeat saying it will take seven hours to complete.
If you’ve played prop hunt and like randomly beating objects to find out what’s people you’ll probably like 2017.
In all seriousness though it is a good game that has a decent amount of fun frantic chaotic combat. I feel like it’s a bit difficult to compare to other games but if I had to I’d say it reminds me a bit of BioShock and Control
I’d say it’s pretty predictable and comes in waves as issues come up.
For example some people from exploding-heads posting rightwing content outside their instance before they were widely defederated.
Another example is when illegal content was being posted in large communities and Lemmy.world started blocking users from posting/commenting using a VPN.
Other than that it’s a lot of knowing your audience.
Is this for hammering down fence posts?
I told a coworker this once and they went from saying African Americans to just loudly whisper the word black like it was a derogatory term.
Gotham Steel pans. They work decent the first couple times but I found the non-stick part of it wore down real quick
I feel like Google Maps is going to be the biggest hurdle. I mentioned in another comment but a minimalist launcher might help.
Beyond that you could always consider getting a case for the Nokia phone off of Ali Express or looking up feature phone operating systems. For example KiaOS is quite popular among feature phones and appears on some Nokia ones.
