Dead Space too. They had a solid run in the late 2000s/early 2010s before doubling down on shit.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

I think a functioning state, not the US, would assign you some sort of work. I don’t know your exact situation, but it sounds like you’re capable enough. Based on what you’re saying in this one comment at least. I’m not going to pry for details, but it’s possible that something is preventing you from completing tasks. I think whatever it is can be worked around though. Should be able to find you some way of contributing at a pace you can handle.

Don’t PlayStation controllers have a speaker built in? Not making excuses for Windows, but that might be related to why it gets confused.

For the most part the ability to take out your opponents by crashing into them has defined the series. Paradise is the only open-world Burnout game. You’d probably like the Forza Horizon games if you’ve never played those. Not much destruction, but plenty of open world arcade racing shenanigans.

I didn’t feel like the open world worked very well for that series. There was Burnout Revenge as well though.

Health or culture more than religion in some cases. Same reason we don’t eat horses, cats, and dogs in the west. They’re companion species for us the same as some of these are for them.

Lemmy.world users seem to always be weirdly hostile about the dumbest shit I swear.

It was always Simcity 3000 Unlimited that hit for me.

Mostly through hearsay on here and Signal groups. I do agree the Murena-bad circlejerk has gone a little too far. I use an iPhone so I don’t have a dog in this race.

My understanding is that it just redirects all the data collection from Google to Murena. Like you’re just trading one corp for another. That’s why some people have an issue with it anyway. Especially since GrapheneOS exists. I take a slightly more nuanced view that a lot of the conveniences modern smartphone users take for granted rely on this type of backend infrastructure. It’s sort of hard to avoid if you value mainstream features. That may be sort of a controversial viewpoint though.

I like Fedora and Debian a lot, but update fatigue drove me crazy with Fedora in particular. I know I don’t HAVE to update everyday, but if they’re available I can’t help myself. I like how calm and still Debian feels in comparison. I’m running mostly Debian 13 now days and I’m going to try holding out the full 2 years before the next version. It’ll be a bit of a marathon as I read about all these new features every 6 months.

I promise it won’t work with the files they provide.

If you can’t compile it yourself, it doesn’t count.

Vivaldi isn’t open source. Not sure I’d trust that from a privacy perspective.

Yeah, luck is a factor for sure. And if you find one for cheap enough it probably doesn’t matter. Personally, I’d rather just build a SFF PC with a mini-ITX board. It’ll be slightly bigger than a NUC, but at least the parts are all off the shelf and replaceable when something inevitably goes wrong.

Bad thermal management. Too much heat for too small of space without enough cooling.

My experience with Intel NUCs is that longevity is their greatest weakness. Usually burn themselves out in a few years. Prospects for repair being slim. I’m not sure if Pis are any better, but I haven’t been impressed.

We didn’t want you here anyway.

I think Canada already tried this.
