For DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.

For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you’re single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.

Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.

Tangential fun fact:

Snake oil is a real thing, that actually helps with the some very specific problems. But it has to be made a specific way from a specific snake. We associate the term with scams because of the large number of scammers that advertised fake snake oils, or advertised it being useful for tons if things it wasn’t.

My point is, many of the most effective scams rely on something that has a kernel of truth.

I don’t have any answers for you but do you have any non cooking management sim recommendations?

I use mailbox.org personally. Disroot is probably fine. Do they have 2FA? That would be the most essential thing you want here if you’re worried about being hacked by an outside party. 2FA would even mitigate a password leak in most cases, since they’d only have 1 of the authentication factors.

If you’re worried about hacking, you can do some things to mitigate the damage that would cause. Download important old emails and delete them from the server, this is pretty easy to do in a desktop client (like thunderbird or outlook) where you’d just move them to a local folder. That way if someone gains access, or they sell to someone that processes the data, they won’t have the old emails (unless they for some reason retained a separate copy, which seems doubtful).

Sign your email up for https://haveibeenpwned.com/. Then you’ll get notifications if there’s any data leaks, including of your email provider. Obviously this is only useful if nobody has stolen your account before the leak is reported, but that’s more likely than not (unless you’re a particularly valuable target for some reason).

A craftsmen wouldn’t be damaging it, they’d be modifying it to make it more useful to you.

Honestly? Probably not. How many awkward things that you’ve heard other people say do you remember for more than a week?

As an original Fable fan I’m intrigued… Yikes at the YouTube comments section tho.

You’d like that, wouldn’t you?

Horny jail

Yea, I’ve looked into how it works to see if I could add it to an existing app, but ran into a wall I can’t recall right now.

The local stops would be good, but what I really need is the ability to figure out new routes, like visiting a friend.

Oh, I’ll take a look at those plugins.

IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that’s not convenient or the point. For now I’ll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

The Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

One thing I’ve tried to take to heart on lemmy: On reddit I nearly never posted articles. But here, I try to post any article I find interesting. I think with such a small space we’ve gotta be the change we see. Every time you read something worthwhile, try to remember to find somewhere to post it here.

If Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you’d only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can’t have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.

Yea, I couldn’t tell you the specifics. I know new members of group chats don’t see any previous messages. I think it might re-negotiate the keys every time someone is added. It’s probably not meant to scale up to very large groups (tho I’ve never tried), but I’ve noticed no issues in 25ish people chats.

It works about the same as any other app’s group invite link. It can be set to automatically add the person or be treated as a request to join that needs approval.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Signal does have location sharing and invite links, FWIW.
