The only allowed thought becomes: Must die for the emperor

The machine spirit must be calmed! Call the tech-priest!

I think the reason the corporations are mad is because the £20 game is better than their £100 game. If too many people realise that you can buy good games at lower prices they will stop buying piles of shit for £100.

Well given that Russia moved further east, I think Poland is western now.

I’ll take both, though maybe not at the same time

If you like Yorkshire pudding, try toad in the hole.

I believe “temporarily unhoused” is the emotionless HR term these days.

I’ll grow and forage for my own food and alcohol specifically because it helps hinder GDP growth.

Yes and no, I heard about it in the UK but it didn’t mean much. I was about 10 at the time. Usually when people talk about it online people of a similar age in the US seem to have had more of an impact.

It wasn’t something we talked about, teachers didn’t put it on or have a talk with all of us about it. Just heard about it on TV the next morning as the TV was on and oh that’s a thing.

A large user base of gullible morons is exactly what advertisers want though

Ah yeah, Rimjobworld makes for a fun playthrough.

I use VMs instead. I understand those and can pretend the benefits matter.

Surely most basic is an old computer and double clicking minecraft_server.jar? Pretty sure that is the first server I ran for people outside of my LAN actually.

Ohh nice, I want it. Don’t really know what I would use all of it for, but I want it (but don’t want to pay for it).

Currently been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Setup proxmox and a few VMs. At the very least pihole, location to dump some backups and also got a web server for a few projects.

If you can’t even install software on it then its not an overly smartphone.

That is where the dumb phone comes in which only deals with calls/SMS.

How so much? Mine was about £200 after delivery and import taxes. Still my most expensive phone but the best computer I have ever put in my pocket.

Shame that calls/SMS are not perfect, but I have since for a dumb phone for that so the SIM sits in that instead.

Mine has postmarketOS on it, probably should update sometime.

One thing I would like is decent offline maps with good performance, don’t even care of it supports GPS or not. Pinephone has no SIM in it these days and that sits in a CatB40.

I thought that was just the pro?

Pinephone exists now, you can buy it today. It runs Linux.

Calls/SMS do work although are not 100% so if you absolutely need these to be reliable you could get a brick phone for like £15 to cover that and then use the Pinephone as a pocket computer. I used it as my only phone for a couple of years and it was mostly fine, now it doesn’t have a SIM in it and its perfect as a pocket PC.
