What was your most favorite anti-piracy measure in a video game? (No fakes or forgeries, please.)

If a dated PC isn't going to e-waste, it's probably gonna get a working Windows or some Linux distro on it instead. For old Macs, do you leave it as is, switch to another OS, or attempt the newest macOS on them?

LocalSend was built with Flutter, which itself has some compatibility issues that are still unresolved to this day. If you're not patient enough to wait for a fix, you could use KDE Connect as an alternative. #FOSS

A nostalgic screen saver. I'm glad there are dedicated programmers who keep rebooting it, either as a screen saver or as a live wallpaper. Chupacabra Software replicated the formula for newer devices, while Screensavers Store subtly gave a few modern changes.

What is it that LocalSend does differently that makes it succeed more often than most other proprietary file transfer apps and services? #opensource #foss

Is Nearby Sharing, Quick Share, and AirDrop doing too much or too little to work well? They've failed me more often than this open-source piece.

To my surprise, I never discovered Sticky Password until in my early 30s. It's nice to see how long-lived and what benefits it has. Only thing they can't do is hold files for you. At the time, I was still using LastPass up until it got passed over to some no-name corporate entity and then breached.

I prefer typing to find and launch my apps instead of doom-scrolling through a wall of icons on my Android phone. OLauncher and KISS Launcher have saved me a headache just for this. #FOSS

It's so baffling at how calm, collected, and quick people can improvise in the face of danger. Especially since hearing about Florida's recent arrest report while a hurricane was going around.

Man, there's just no way to get away from pranksters these days. Do they really wanna be remembered for getting locked behind bars in every country that's having an off day?

I don't always use a front-end app for watching YouTube videos. But when I do, I prefer Grayjay on Android mobile, SmartTube on Android TV, and FreeTube on Windows.

loving everything about bluesky so far except for one thing... WHERE ARE ALL MY SEALS? #sealtwt #sealbsky ASSEMBLE

In my day, we didn't even have GIFS here!

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

Things I like:
law and crime videos, electronic music, chiptune music, lolcow videos, dumpster fires, illustrations, indie animations, mobile puzzle games, pixel art, fantasy characters, furry fandoms, indie games, PC and mobile tech

Things I dislike:
illegal fetishes, clout chasers, ultra violence
