I’m in a very similar boat. I’ve been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70…

Bulbapedia rebranding to Zyarpedia got me. I was thinking “why?” It was also one of the first posts I saw yesterday.

They’re free, you know? I have 6. Well, one of those is actually paid.

Like everyone else, I suggest Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher for most games. Lutris has a relatively straightforward interface to walk you through what it offers. It can even help you install EA and Ubisoft games. Heroic launcher allows you to install games from the Epic and GOG stores. Minecraft has multiple launchers available. Plus, there’s RetroArch and DOSBox for most retro stuff. There are system-specific emulators like Dolphin for GameCube. There are even some fun, free games like “Super Tux Kart” and “Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.”

Everything I just mentioned is available for download using the “Discover” app in desktop mode of Bazzite. If you have questions about specific games, I might be able to help.

You can buy single pages of old books/manuscripts on auction sites for that or even much less sometimes. Maybe not the oldest available, but it’s the oldest thing I’ve ever bought. I have mine framed in the hall.

Not a single word on that list would even ping on my radar if you said it near me, except for “Masseur.” If you said “Masseur” near me, I would think “oh, fancy.” -Native English speaker from SE USA

How much RAM do the systems have? 8gb? The delay may be in the system making room in ram for the program. Win11 is so ram hungry. It’s stupid.

Disabling JavaScript through ublock origin also does the same (horrible) thing, frequently.

Your parents are there.

The director was an amateur, and he didn’t align the grains of sand with the grain of the film.

I guess disabling full screen notifications for the phone app does work, but I kinda liked the full screen notifications when I’m driving.

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

“had”

Were you able to make the alert stop?

I suppose I could try that. I was hoping for an easier solution.

The phone is really great other than this one annoying “feature,” especially for the price.

I’m aware of Lemmygrad, yes. FOSS is the reason why I joined Lemmy, and I was at least mildly aware of the developers’ philosophy. I wasn’t aware they were moderating all dissent.

I mean, I mostly look at memes, so I never noticed that. And .ml stands for Mali, the country. I didn’t know it was a dual meaning acronym.

Do you care to elaborate a bit more on what you don’t like about .ml moderation? I joined Lemmy before the reddit exodus. At the time I joined, .ml was the largest instance.

Hmmm. I don’t believe I’ve tried pirate IPTV. What are the best pirate IPTV sites? So I can avoid them, of course.

The Wikipedia app has had dark mode for a while. Plus dark mode in Firefox works fine with no extensions.

I’m currently reading “All the Knowledge in the World: A History of the Encyclopedia” by Simon Garfield. It mentions a similar thought held by some around the time of the creation of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. (Late 1700s, if I recall correctly)

There were too many books, and they were being printed by just anyone. Who needs a really long dictionary, anyway?
