Portal and Portal 2 are my go to tests for if a machine qualifies as “an computer”. Basically, if it can run those, it’s probably good enough to be grandmas facebook machine. Might have to toss an ssd into it (exactly what I did with an old core2duo hp pavilion), but generally I find it to be a good rule of thumb.

Plus it gives me an excuse to play Portal when I test a machine :P

Surprised no one has said it, but Minecraft. I love it as much now as I did when I was 12. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it, especially if you start playing with mods. Then there’s servers such as Hypixel which for all intents and purposes are an entirely separate game in and of themselves.

I’m sure part of it is nostalgia, some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Minecraft with friends, but I still find it to be an excellent way to relax.

(Tangentially related, anyone else remember when waiting 3 months for 1.2.5 > 1.3 was an absurdly long update time for the game? Different times.)

StreetComplete is the one I use, although there’s a handful. It’s on both the play store and Fdroid

I’ve been loving it. Weirdly scratches the same itch Pokémon Go did for a while, plus it’s something actually useful.

I try to contribute as much info as I can to Open Street Map on my walks.

There’s a loud minority who think Joanne is basically their god-empress and think she can do no wrong. There’s also a bit of people who became fans purely because their removedty views align with her removedty views.

I think the point is politics in a nation can change at any time, and as such you may lose the domain/no longer feel safe supporting that nation. Just because they wouldn’t now doesn’t mean they wouldn’t in the future. (Especially with how well AfD is polling and how much CDU/CSU seem to be starting to cooperate)

Isn’t that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?

I honestly don’t understand how some of you have this point of view. This isn’t a they’ve been evil once or twice thing. This is a they’ve been evil at every single opportunity and actively seek out more opportunities to be evil for well over a decade and you’re a removeding moron for trusting them thing.

No, the entire point is that you’re free to go to whatever instance you want and/or host your own with your own rules. You’re more than welcome to go to one that doesn’t defederate, just as every instance owner/admins are free to defederate. It’s not how “the fediverse is supposed to operate” because a standard for how the fediverse is supposed to operate doesn’t exist.

I’m sure Meta won’t be awful this time! Sure they’ve been awful quite literally every single chance they’ve gotten, but they won’t be this time!

The only explanation for someone getting back in line to get kicked in the balls for the 15th time in the row is the must really like getting kicked in the balls

The whole point is that instance owners/admin are allowed to run their instance however they want

Isn’t threadiverse already a term to specifically describe the kbin/lemmy/etc. style of fediverse service?

Does that include businesses that are registered in Canada but primarily held by foreigners?
