enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your devices

I don’t really need to do this ☝️, because I’ve done this 👇.

and only grant notification permissions to essential apps

Never do I get notifications that I don’t want, unless I’ve installed some new app and haven’t fine-tuned its notification settings yet, after allowing notifications from it at all. 👍

Besides all that, I definitely agree that the FOSS lifestyle helps with a quiet digital existence. You only ever take part in information that you seek out on your own. Very nice.

Also not having installed addictive apps like Instagram or Facebook with algorithm-controlled content, really helps keep away scroll addiction.

If it’s really €100, I won’t mind a pirated version with no multiplayer… 🥲🏴‍☠️

1.0 is still years away, but when it’ll arrive, it’ll all be worth the hassle.

Oof, I think that depends who you ask. 😅 For us who will wait until the game is finished and worth buying, perhaps. And perhaps for others as well, such as yourself, which is of course fine. Big fans will do what they do. No shame. ❤️👌

I might not recommend you to buy it unless you know exactly what you’re getting, but it’s not like I didn’t have fun with it. I wouldn’t say that I got my €50 out of it, but I expect the final game plus DLC (the third star system) to be at least €100.

€100 is insane to me. I would pirate a game costing that much money, that is both single-player and offline. ez decision. Unpopular perhaps, but that is crazy amounts of money for a game.

Very good points. 👌

Ooh, well that’s wonderful. It’s like some grassroots thing. The inventors of the thing refuse to support it, but the people are adopting it on their own. ✊ I’m happy to hear these “news” (to me)! ❤️

Exactly what I heard. Sad stuff.

I mean, it’s still insignificant enough that it won’t matter yet, right?

But that’s still good. It’s on the right path. Google needs to get their head out of their ass on this one. Still no sign of it years later though.

“Apple” supports it? Which apps? Not that I care much, I have zero Apple products or devices. 👍

Are we JPEG XL yet?

Wow, I just saw this literally two posts above this one.

Haven’t heard of JPEG XL pretty much since it died. And now twice in a few minutes.

Thank you, universe.

How is Kerbal Space Program 2? Didn’t hear good things about it…

No justice. 👎 Boo, hiss.

Completely off-topic: I really enjoy the way you express yourself. Do you write a lot? Your text is just very easily consumable, yet not dumbed-down.

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

Ah yes, mongo and document databases, forgot about those. Yeah those could be a pain to get data from if there’s no structure. 😅

as long as it’s organized in some way

Right? Organized, structured, same thing, or? A database can’t have no structure, right? I don’t even know how one would create such a database.

Well that’s good… 😳

You can make an unstructured database? I thought the S in SQL stood for “structured”, that it was built into the language itself or something.

There’s a WHOM keyword in SQL?

Oh God, not this again. I need to know!

Well now I’m curious what these moves are.
