This is reminding me of an ascii art game called Candy Box. It begins very minimal like this, but unfolds into a wonderfully imaginative RPG game. https://candybox2.github.io/candy…

That is a good idea. Years back, I had a very old phone that I used as an alarm clock and media player. It would have been nice to not worry about charging. I did disable the mobil…

On Android, I use a terminal script called Advanced Charging Controller (ACC) to automate keeping the battery under 80% and some other battery saving tweaks. It allows you to charg…

If you want to play it on macOS, you can install it through Homebrew: brew install open-adventure then to run it type: advent

I tried this a few times as a little kid to see if it would work. If I sent it from my home, it didn't work and I got it returned with red pen notes on it explaining how to send it…

It was when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. Yeah they were on old planes that were just still in use.

I used to do this on airplanes and in hotels. I had more success in hotels, because there was less chance the other person was using it at the time and less chance of getting kicke…

Some messaging apps have options to not automatically download/preview images that are sent, so that might be a good step to take. I know that Google Messages has this feature.

Look at the periodic table and find elements that add up to what you need. In the game lowercase letters will not count as an elemnet unless paired with an uppercase, so either 1 c…

From a user point of view that would do just fine. Maybe server owners might not want to be associated with those instances for potential legal issues. Some servers admins have als…

Each server (AKA "Instance") is kind of like an email provider, or like a bunch of individual Reddit websites. On Lemmy a "Community" is their version of a subreddit. Each server/i…

I have done this a few times and it turned out delicious! This method basically poaches the fish, which preserves some of the good fats on the fish. I usually put some salt, pepper…

I was browsing music on Spotify and kept seeing this "Escape Room" genre label on what seemed to be very divergent artists. I noticed that particular bands connected to genres such…

I think Tusky is the most polished android client.

As a long-time Pushbullet user, I would like to thank the developer for their efforts in creating it and in keeping the app available to us!

I love this feature on my pixel, but I always have to turn it off when I'm expecting important calls from places like medical offices and such.

Yeah there really isn't much that victims can do at this point until the carriers are held more accountable. Hopefully this will help.

Thank you for the clarification. Yeah, most of the down that I get stems to originate from other countries. Hopefully they can crack down on those.

In my experience, it seems like most spam calls that I receive are using a spoofed number over VOIP. Reporting the number as spam, basically reports the number they are spoofing, r…

The last time I checked (year ago), the MacOS version is much less configurable. I don't think you can really change the interface with config files like you can with the Windows b…

Also, people who are eating too many pre-made/processed/frozen foods might not be eating enough fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, which are a great source of helpful bacteria a…

Enthusiasm does go a long way and I agree that he could be successful with "cleaner" content. Personally, I applaud his authenticity and just like that he is being himself. Just as…

I've been watching his content for a while now and I love him. He is a breath of fresh air in a field that is sometimes a bit dry. He is hilarious, knowledgeable and brings so much…

This has been happening to me for a long time. I have an alias set up in my terminal that will send a ping to speedtest.net every few seconds to make my ISP think that I am doing a…
