Skyrim has some mods that go really deep on magic and combat strats.

We’re social creatures. The laugh track makes us feel like we’re in a social situation. I think different shows use this more or less cynically.

For DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.

For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you’re single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.

Off the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.

Tangential fun fact:

Snake oil is a real thing, that actually helps with the some very specific problems. But it has to be made a specific way from a specific snake. We associate the term with scams because of the large number of scammers that advertised fake snake oils, or advertised it being useful for tons if things it wasn’t.

My point is, many of the most effective scams rely on something that has a kernel of truth.

I don’t have any answers for you but do you have any non cooking management sim recommendations?

I use mailbox.org personally. Disroot is probably fine. Do they have 2FA? That would be the most essential thing you want here if you’re worried about being hacked by an outside party. 2FA would even mitigate a password leak in most cases, since they’d only have 1 of the authentication factors.

If you’re worried about hacking, you can do some things to mitigate the damage that would cause. Download important old emails and delete them from the server, this is pretty easy to do in a desktop client (like thunderbird or outlook) where you’d just move them to a local folder. That way if someone gains access, or they sell to someone that processes the data, they won’t have the old emails (unless they for some reason retained a separate copy, which seems doubtful).

Sign your email up for https://haveibeenpwned.com/. Then you’ll get notifications if there’s any data leaks, including of your email provider. Obviously this is only useful if nobody has stolen your account before the leak is reported, but that’s more likely than not (unless you’re a particularly valuable target for some reason).

A craftsmen wouldn’t be damaging it, they’d be modifying it to make it more useful to you.

Honestly? Probably not. How many awkward things that you’ve heard other people say do you remember for more than a week?

As an original Fable fan I’m intrigued… Yikes at the YouTube comments section tho.

You’d like that, wouldn’t you?

Horny jail

Yea, I’ve looked into how it works to see if I could add it to an existing app, but ran into a wall I can’t recall right now.

The local stops would be good, but what I really need is the ability to figure out new routes, like visiting a friend.

Oh, I’ll take a look at those plugins.

IMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that’s not convenient or the point. For now I’ll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

The Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

Oh I see. I took your first sentence as meaning you stopped a paragraph in.

I agree that buses are less efficient, I think it’s the best argument for rail.

I will point out, all of St. Louis’ new buses are electric.

I suggest you read a little farther. They’re arguing in favor of spending the money on buses instead. It’s a train vs bus article.

At least for the STL Green Line example here, the choice of LRT over BRT seems to have less to do with that kind of analysis and more to do with the source of the income. A lot of the money was raised on the promise of a N/S rail, and that’s made it difficult to advocate for anything else regardless of metrics. Some of the money is also grants specifically earmarked for rail. Don’t know if that applies everywhere. I think the flashiness of rail makes it easier to raise revenue for, regardless of if its the right decision for the situation.
