Valve has made Linux gaming stupid easy and still people are more worried about FOMO of that small percentage of games that don’t run on Linux.

Unfortunately, most of the non-working games are also the ones people tend to have FOMO about. I feel like they’re mostly online games with anti-cheats which, by their online nature, means that you will feel really missing out when all of your friends except you play the game, more so than single player games.

Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe…

Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers…

To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

One small request would be, if you could add an option to open links in incognito custom tabs?

A bit of a late reply, but if you’re using Firefox for Android, you can choose to open every custom tab link in incognito mode. Perhaps that might help a little bit.

Generally, I tend to focus on smaller creators, their qualities are usually better.

The channels I watched include Nitro Rad (gaming), MattKC (tech), and Modern Vintage Gamer (retro console/gaming).

Honestly, because of my interest, as you can tell from my instance’s name and purpose. It’s the first furry instance I see and also the most popular one, that’s the initial reason.

Some browser supports blocking videos from autoplaying, Firefox is one of them but maybe chrome has similar options too. Check the browser settings.

It doesn’t matter if you’re subscribed to [email protected] (and [email protected] for good measure).

There are plenty of Solitaire games out there aside from MS Solitaire, including free and open source ones. I think PySolFC fits that bill quite well, a huge collection of Solitaire games available for Windows (and other platforms, Linux included of course).

Or KPatience if you use Linux. It’s even preinstalled if you use KDE, which I do.

Hey, they say “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” didn’t they.

I have quite a few recommendations. They are not quite non-freemium since they are free, but if your reason to prefer non-freemium is to avoid ads and in app purchases, then none of these games have them. They are all also open source and the link I provided below will be for their respective F-Droid version (note: some of these games are not available on Google Play Store):

• Simon Tatham’s Puzzle - A collection of many puzzle games ported to Android. The puzzles include Minesweeper, Net, Sudoku, and more.
• Simple Solitaire Collection - As the name says, it’s a collection of card-based Solitaire games.
• Simple Brick Games - A game that imitates very basic handheld with very small pixel count. Games include tetris, breakout, and more.
• 1010 Klooni - A puzzle game where you have to use various shaped blocks to fill an entire horizontal or vertical line.
• Tower Jumper - This is a clone of a popular android game in which you move a jumping ball and try to reach the end of a tower avoiding the obstacles.
• Ball2Box - A puzzle game about shooting a ball into the box.
• Anuto - Another ugly tower defense.

This particular game requires far more attention and strategy than the ones listed above, but it can be played once every few minutes if you constantly save and reload (just don’t play online):

• Unciv - 4X civilization-building game, similar to Sid Meier’s Civilization series.

Nah, Prince of Darkness is better than Archmage

…oh wait, wrong game

Basically phone speakers at home, earbuds while away. As basic as you can get.

Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It’s amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!

Indeed it has come [email protected]

This only applies if you use lemmy from the website. If you use mobile apps such as Jerboa, Liftoff, or Mlem, the way to unblock would be different.

Generally, it’s in the settings, at least it is on Liftoff. I couldn’t find it on Jerboa (maybe it isn’t available yet?). I guess you can try from the website.

Unless it’s 2020, then saying “It doesn’t smell like anything here” is concerning…

Yeah, I post more. Gotta do my part to make this community alive.

Pretty much every instance have defederated from at least one other instance, especially towards instances that hosts illegal images, ones with lackluster moderations, instances that support views they consider dangerous, ones filled with spam bots, and yes, sometimes out of drama or politics.

It’s more of a question of which instances they defederated from and why.

Yeah, it’s quite bad. Honestly, that’s something I knew when I made this joke. I thought it’d be funny if the industry collapse, especially from something like this challenge…

But, I’ve also heard attempts at making alternatives that is more ethical and doesn’t involve civets, so I do hope those could catch on…
