Google Play and F-Droid are both available

Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I’m just not able to use it, I’m a disaster.

An ad is something that a 3d party buys to appear on a platform. This is a recommendation by the platform itself, so I would not define it as an ad

Oh, definitely agree with you on that one. I was only defending the right of a platform to suggest content to its users, regardless of what that content is

Reddit shows you communities that you are not subscribed to in your subscription feed.

Yeah, like I said, not spam and not an ad. It’s just an internal algorithmic recommendation

It’s the Babylon Bee. Not spam, not an ad. Maybe shit, but still

You can also use their DNS server without having to install anything

OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

Just in case:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

None of those things happened with Bandcamp

You’re probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.

They are usually ridden with ads, but it’s not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons

GUYS, IT’S HAPPENING

This looks genuinely interesting

Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff

EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It’s possibly the best piece of software I’ve ever tried

I don’t know about the team, but to motivate the players you can always decide to permanently install “anti-cheat” software directly into user’s kernels. THAT will make them happy.

Also, did you know that the Riot client does not have an uninstaller? If you want to get rid if it, you have to search for all its files across your system and delete them manually. They are in at least 3 different folders. It’s great!

I’m so pumped about this game

Still awesome!

The situation here in Switzerland is similar. Every time I go to the grocery store, it’s full of people (especially kids) that cough on everything and everyone. A couple of my colleages at work came in sick from what turned out to be covid. I somehow managed to avoid getting infected.

Last week a person in a supermarket basically coughed on me while passing by, and now I have a cold. According to the rapid tests (which are still available here, fortunately) it’s not covid, but still. The pandemic has not taught us anything.

Dayum, that’s crisp

Glad to be able to help! Have fun :)

That’s the joke
