I mean...you could just not have it changing constantly? It seems pretty unnecessary. Here's a screen recording from my phone: https://imgur.com/a/snw8qbc

For me, the emdashes and the constant use of "it's not just [X], it's [hyperbolic Y]" gives it away.

I love boardgames too and could wax lyrical about them for ages. Sucks that this article was clearly written by AI.

Shouldn't the sound for when a task finishes be something like "Job done!"? Looking at the table it seems like it makes the sound for acknowledging that it's received an order (e.g. "I can do that").

Oh yes! I remember playing that at a friend's house when I was 5 years old and having my little mind blown. I couldn't believe you could just take any car and go anywhere you wanted. I later got my hands on a copy of GTA2 and play

Fooyin looks to be inspired by foobar2000 that compiles natively on Linux, but I haven't tried it. https://fooyin.org/

I'm on my 8th year of using my original iPhone SE, have replaced the battery a few times and the screen a couple of times. It's still doing what I need it to do on iOS 15, but I noticed a few big names apps have stopped supporting

I only have Facebook, mostly because of local community groups, buy/sell pages, marketplace and some group chats. I find blocking the news feed effectively allows me to use it as a tool without being subject to brainrot.

Shame, Amyl and the Sniffers would've put on a hell of a show ;) I agree though, Melbourne is absolutely bursting at the seam with events, groups and activities in almost anything you could possibly be interested in. It's particul

Hah! I had a very similar thought enter mind recently. I used to get shamed for being on screens too much, now the situation seems to have flipped. Who's the nerd now?? Also just an aside - I love your writing style.

My Dad managed to install linux (Q4OS) on his computer in a dual-boot setup, having never even touched Linux before. He hasn't asked me for help once, whereas historically I've been his tech support when he was running Windows. He
