Came here to say Simon Tatham’s puzzles.

I also like, from f-droid, Tower Jumper, and from Play, hillclimb racing.

• seen much praise of mindustry here on Lemmy, but not got into it myself
• rabbit escape is like lemmings/pingus
• I like go, but play casual. CrazyStone on Play works well for me. It’s doing something with the internet on startup, probably benign model updates, but I block its internet access.
• I also remember Doom and Destiny being very fun and fairly casual. The free version is not too bad on ads. The second one I never got far in - felt like it was constant ads interrupting gameplay

Games don’t age well.

• football
• “the floor is lava”
• chess
• nibbles/snake
• myst
• snakes and ladders
• age of empires
• skyrim

Make your MIT-licensed library big enough that the corpos use it, then switch it to AGPL just before you add a really important and tricky feature they’ve been waiting for.

How did Arch get this bad rep?

Because so many people love it and make a point of its ‘brilliance’, so it’s funny to take it down a peg.

Myself, long ago, I moved from Arch to Ubuntu partly for ease of downloads on bad internet in Asia (in-country package mirror, and obviously less downloads overall); and partly because I didn’t want my time and mental energy to be ‘on call’ for a random breakage from an upgrade. Breakages were occasional for me, and normally easily fixable, but took immediate time and effort.

I still think Arch is great, but I’ve got through some distro hops to end up currently on Mint, from wanting stability + a couple of binaries that are published for Ubuntu and not other distros.

Was tempted by NixOS or Guix, but… not just yet.

Yeah it’s spelt Guix

• Endless sky
• Battle for Wesnoth
• Warzone2100
• Simon Tatham’s puzzle games
• Widelands
• OpenTTD
• OpenRCT2 (needs assets from original game)
• SuperTuxKart

Off the top of my head

Your nostalgia is a bad reason for starting anything really. Most hopefully you won’t push your nostalgia on your children and force them to play outdated games.

It’s a dark path. Next you might start making them watch outdated films, maybe even reading outdated books. Before you know it you’re teaching them pre WWII history and Newtonian mechanics.

httP or httPs, that is the question

You have to understand it’s a quote from a character he wrote, not Shakespeare’s own opinion/experience.

Shakespeare IRL used pure GPG.

But in the end, yes, it is a MITM. If you need your data to be E2E encrypted, don’t use it.

Or do use E2E encryption. You can still have a layer of encryption within the SSL tunnel that cloudflare controls. Like you’d do for an E2EE filestore: the webserver (and cloudflare) see the website woosh by, and all that you do on it, but the files themselves are encrypted opaquely to both, and decrypted only by a browser at the other end.

“Come back to my house! There’s no windows! No wait- not like that- don’t go!”

By abandoning the transcendent dream of the Hurd in favour of earthly solutions.

Oh, snap!

Nix just had internal politics. Reject Nix; embrace Guix!

“I use FOSS btw”

I listen to band’s music because I like their music.

You listen to band because you hate music.

We are not the same?

At this stage kernel 2.6 is ancient culture.

I nearly ditched nextcloud fully for this, but haven’t found anything that matches the convenience of nextcloud for family members iPhone

Also filebrowser doesn’t yet let you share folders that people can upload to, nor have good photo viewing in a shared folder (without login)

Mobius Sync is an iOS app for it. Free version has max directory size 25mb(?) but dev seems to have good attitudes; it’s something I wouldn’t mind paying for.

No place like ~/
