This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.

Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn’t be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.

Have you tried updating your BIOS? If your PC allows you to boot from a USB :P

Yeah, shitpost, that’s what I said!

Gone into the wilderness to escape from the woes of modern capitalistic society, yet unable to escape the coping mechanisms used to survive the rat race. Trapped inside the addiction, a smoke and a coffee to wake up, a toke and a drink to pass out, in an endless cycle, just to blur the daily toil into a barely-tolerable disassociative carousel. Even the moments of leisure have become a task to accomplish; have your pittance of a vacation, stressing about how tightly scheduled you are, stressing about how much everything costs, stressing about the mounting responsibilities pilling up awaiting your arrival.

I dunno man, I think it’s just a shitpost.

I won’t lie though, judging from how much of the litter where I live is cigarettes butts and packs, there seems to be a rather large overlap.

Add people who drink Tim Horton’s coffee and that’s a solid 80% of the litter I see.

(Am smoker, will carry smelly butts rather than throw them on the street)

More like we forced sand to think. Sand didn’t want this.

If I were having high-stakes conversations, I might agree, but any slight delays in updates is unlikely to affect me. I’m not a high-stakes target of any sort.

Oops, all FOSS! :)

The only proprietary apps that see regular use on my phone are my banking app and Spotify.

Yeah I’m French and the Compose key works great, at least for the limited number of diacritics in French.

I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P

Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:

4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.

I’ve seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here’s a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

They didn’t list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.

I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

Here’s the link on Github. It doesn’t seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid’s, so I don’t know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.

I like Fluent Reader, it looks nice, can fetch full articles, and IIRC caches them locally for offline viewing, don’t quote me on that last one though.

When you post a link, you can add a thumbnail image URL! In the default lemmy-ui, it should be right under where you upload an image :)

Oh, I’ve never played CS 1.6 so I can’t directly comment but the main thing I hear is how different the mechanics are.

I imagine nostalgia plays no small role, as well.

They’re completely different games, but if you’re unfamiliar with the Counter-Strike series I can see how it can be confusing.

Counter-Strike 1.6 refers to the original game in the series, which ran on the GoldSrc engine. The “1.6” refers to the final release of this game from 2000.

The next installments in the series were Counter-Strike: Source (2004) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012) which both ran on the Source engine.

Counter-Strike 2 was released in 2023, as an update replacing CS:GO. It runs on the Source 2 engine, which is to what the “2” in the name is referring.
