Can you not make that point without the ableism?

This reminded me of those msn messenger nudges from back in the day… I’m definitely not the target audience this time around… 😂

No worries, I figured a machine screwed something up along the way lol

Thanks again for the great resources, I’ve bookmarked them all, just in case…

Thanks, I’d managed to miss 2 of those!

These are great, thanks for sharing, though some spaces would make them easier to tell apart!

I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they’d throw 'em out

Good for them for not throwing them away, but if you assumed they would, why “donate” (more like dump) them to charity in the first place? They’re not there to provide guilt free disposal for your garbage…

Ha, fair enough…

It’s just the first thing I do with a new phone is make sure privacy is as tight as I can get it (without rooting since I’m not confident enough to do that), so that was my recommendation to you… I also have an older xiaomi, and a newer honor (from after their split with huawei), neither are amazing but they do the same job for so much cheaper, I really can’t see why people insist on spending thousands when you can spend hundreds for pretty much the same thing…

My comment had nothing to do with xioami being Chinese, a corporation is a corporation and they’re all trying to collect as much of your data as possible, I guess you can let them if you want lol ¯\(ツ)/¯

Go through any and all available privacy and permissions settings and make sure you’re not sending a bunch of info you don’t want to be to xioami and google (and any app you download)

I used it for a while but then one update it completely reset not only all my (many) open tabs, but also my history, so I couldn’t restore them. Not used it since…

For example, tap water in my city costs ~$0.04 per gallon, at 5 gallons per hour, 24 hours per day, for 5 years is $1,752. So saying they can make it for less than the cost of tap water doesn’t mean it’s affordable.

Or maybe the product just isn’t for you, but for people who pay significantly more for, or possibly don’t have access to drinkable tap water at all.

I mean if you’re not looking for an end result where you actually have a photo of the thing in front of you to look back at/show others, then yeah, I guess that’ll work lol

put your phone on a tripod.

My phone has a x10 zoom option that is barely usable without at least resting it on a surface, I can’t imagine trying to take an even half decent photo at x200…

I never said men who can’t get matched are creeps, I said this is aimed at creeps who can’t get matched but would be willing to pay $500 a month to force themsleves on to others. That’s who you’re jumping to the defence of here.

Except what they’re all “playing” for are people (and lets be honest, this is aimed at creepy men who can’t get matched otherwise, so more specifically they’re “playing” for women), with their own wants and needs and often safety concerns, all of which this serves to circumvent, which is definitely not how you “win” at tinder (finding an abuse victim? Sure, but not an actual viable relationship. Which again, tells you who this was designed for and why).

Yeah, the other day I’d gone to play another older game I had already pirated and played loads, but not for a while, and it suddenly wouldn’t run without steam. Like tf? So I deleted it and pirated an updated copy that runs fine lol

I refuse to use these kinds of 3rd party services, I just want a copy of the game that I know is safe on my machine.

E: speaking of which - I’ve just been testing the games I downloaded off the back of this post, and one is now stuck looking for steam subscriptions before it will run, on to the next!

Unfortunately myabandonware just links back to steam and Vimm only has the PS version, but thanks!

Doesn’t look like it, but might come in handy if I find anything in the archives that gives me trouble, thanks!

I’ll give it a look, thanks!

I appreciate it.
And no, I’ve not used the sandbox before, I generally just scan the file for viruses and hope for the best (terrible practice, I know, but I so rarely download anything), but I would be happy to try it out, problem is all the versions I’ve downloaded so far have been in Russian (even when selecting English), so even if I do test them in the sandbox, I still don’t know what any of the UI is saying lol
