Bluetooth beacons are what you call these. There’s a few different app-based solutions, all of them proprietary as far as I’m aware, that connect to their brand of beacon regardless of its owner in order to update its position on the map. I feel like this should be possible to do in some way in an open manner, but I’d also be concerned about the security implications behind something like this. I wouldn’t want everyone to see where all of my most irreplaceable items are, after all.

Try Rosy Crow. You’ll have to add the repository to f-droid before you download it.

I’ll just pop in here to add a link to my favorite Android Gemini browser: Rosy Crow

It’s fully featured, even supporting tokens for authenticated sessions.

Woah, what? I didn’t know you could use the TPM that way. I’ve gotta look into this now.

UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.

Don’t forget the one that SHOULD HAVE gotten GOTY: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Quspicious Minds sounds like a documentary on the Qanon movement

As you part your curtains, you see that is a bright morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the meadows are blooming, and a large yellow bulldozer is advancing towards your home.

Must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of those.

And the cycle of enshittification continues…

I have a feeling I’m still going to be loading the vast majority of my games library from hard disk in 2030.

You can’t send them on their way without explaining summoning sickness! Creatures can’t tap or attack unless you’ve controlled them since the beginning of your turn.

A lot of people have mentioned ProtonDB already, but I’ll throw in Lutris as well. It’s a multi-platform game launcher that supports Steam, GOG, Humble Games, Epic Games, EA, etc. but its website also lets you search for a game title, and most should have a user-created method to launch.

It’s more that flash NAND uses a small electric charge to keep the NAND gates in the correct configuration. Over time, that charge dissipates. If you power the storage device every once in a while, you minimize these chances.

Here’s a video explaining why it happens to Wii U’s after being powered off for a while. https://youtu.be/JHME4zLs6Qs

Eh, it’s more like every time I say something out loud, I realize how awkward what I just said is, and then I spend the rest of the day trying to figure out why I can’t connect with other people.

Right? I have to know what it means by “Vatican Ciry (Alleged)”

If there’s one thing I truly miss about attending church, it’s getting too see and hear that pipe organ up close. The one my parents took me to had all the pipes up behind and above the stage, so they kind of loomed over everything. I would get entranced just staring at the pipes and not hear a word the pastor was saying.

Your experience is not universal. I quit smoking using the pouches. Sure, some people are just going to use them as their delivery method instead of a cessation aid, but that doesn’t invalidate the ones like me. Stigmatizing the cessation aid hurts people in the long run because smokers will be less likely to pick them up. And if you were a smoker before, you know the smallest excuse will suffice to “delay” your quitting.

ETA: That being said, I find it absolutely vile that the companies making the pouches are the tobacco manufacturers who are getting people addicted in the first place. In a just world, tobacco executives would be treated as the slimy drug dealers they are.

Just remember to hold your sign the right way round
