Pokkén. The obvious concept that GF had never tackled, has decent graphics, pretty good cast (Braixen).

Big shout out to Pokémon Close Combat, the fanon sorts-of spiritual successor.

Amerikkka!

I seem to remember the creator of Wolfenstein asking that question shortly before the release of one of their games, in the late 2000s I think. We should have seen the writing on the wall.

In other words, these veterans did what was asked of them.

They could just have not.

For “voice chats with text”, Mumble. Hopefully Jabber or in the worst case scenario Matrix for the general use case.

I hear S/V is quite hardcore, a true test to gamer fidelity, patience and judgment by spending ~47 min in the first cutscene.

Not that I’m an .ml member but, thanks for considering this in the first place.

Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven’t checked) so it’s still a serious win.

Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you’d be willing to fund it?

Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

So, Android 9 / 10?

I’m sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

(IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

That’s a problem with the phone manufacturer, not with Lineage.

An used Pixel, assuming I can find one in my country, still costs four (4) times what I need to shell out for a in-market Lineage compatible phone.

Theoretical security is cute, but it has to be adjusted to practical feasibility. The most secure computer in the world is useless to you if you can’t boot it up.

Nothing too hypothetical nor an “insane” level of work. Didn’t Israel do just that with some beepers to blow up children?

Please don’t, it’s still usable to browse Gemini content with software like Buran and Deenum.

Pretty good work with the design on the original spec species, the idea of adapting it into something like Normal/Poison feels sound.

Any particular reason why you used the G2 Pokédex style (and limitations)?

Certainly this whole leak thing has been A Gift.

No hope, no cope. Just a basic understanding on how the HTTP infrastructure and time dilation work.

You can have one or two execs, as a treat; but certainly they don’t need to be paid crazy figures like what has been the case with Mozilla as of late. It’s not like they’re that important, in particular for the kind of project something like Firefox is (which could do with eg.: coop governance).

Okay, but what if after all this legal action Mozilla decides that it’s no longer worth serving the privacy conscious crowd? Which browser will you use then?

Firefox.

Just because the execs decide to stop serving the software, doesn’t mean the copies (and source code!) already out in the wild will automagickally stop functioning. You’ll still be able to visit websites the day after, the month after, the year after… And there’s still the devs, since they’re not the execs.

By the time there’s issues, there’ll still be the forks. Someone will have already step up to fork and keep the work on their own, too; the name just weighs enough that someone will want to be “the next Firefox” (not “the next Mozilla”). Or even better, the devs (obvs not the execs) will have jumped ship into any one of the various alternative projects such as ladybird, or might even have started a new project from scratch, hopefully intending for it to be a leaner and better browsr.

NOYB would’ve done much better by talking to Mozilla directly and advocating for them to do the right thing going for a legal complaint as the final nuclear option. I

It has been already vastly demonstrated by Mozilla, that going to them and talking to them about how they shouldn’t do shitty things doesn’t work.

If it takes legal action to even try and save the browser, I’m all for it.
