Hmm. That matches my recent napkin math guessing where they would land.

It’s a little short of what they probably need, but they can always raise prices in a few months.

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person’s comment details half the participants.

You might try Wayfinder.

It feels like classic World of Warcraft without the grinding for levels or loot.

Oh. Good to know. I’ll keep an eye out for that one. Thank you!

You may want to check out the new “One Piece” game on the same engine. It has the same game play loop, interrupted by a surprisingly nicely animated story line.

Yes. I assume it is the brains way of preventing wetting the bed when needing to pee while too tired to awaken.

But the dream where all our teeth fall out - I assume that is our brain trying reconcile how we only get two sets - which is some bullshit.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

Simon’s Puzzles is what i use when I’m trying to reduce my own doom scrolling.

Luanti (a very nice free Minecraft clone) is also great for a few minutes (…or hours) here and there.

Edit:

What the hey, here’s a few more!

Burger Party - Like that pizza game, but burgers

Breakout 71 - Breakout as a Rogue-lite

Endless Sky - Space Trader Simulator

Gridle (Crosswords-Like Wordle)

Gurgle (Wordle)

Mindustry - Mobile Factorio-like

Pixel Dungeon - Rogue revisited and constantly updated

Roboyard - Slide robots to their goals

Super Tux Kart

I don’t recall the doctor being green, though?

Thank you for your service.

And my axe!

C: Cheddar?

O: No. We don’t get much call for it.

C: But it’s the single most popular cheese in the world!

O: Not around here, sir.

Where do you get once every 2 years? Do you never reboot your machine?

I’m hearing you like to reboot your machine unusually often.

The reason I can think of where clicking would be a huge pain in the ass is an automatic task. I have some of those, but I put them on machines that I treat as servers, and the time between reboots is genuinely counted in years, for those machines.

At this point you must be missing the point on purpose.

I wasn’t before, but now I am.

I find your argument distasteful. If you want a server, use a server. But there’s no need to shout to the world that servers require command line use. That’s normal in 2025.

If you treat your laptop like a server, that’s okay. No one is judging. But my grandma isn’t doing that, and it rings hollow to complain so loudly about it in a thread about average users enjoying Linux Mint.

An average user will never even notice the issue you have been complaining about, while enjoying the product for free.

I don’t normally tell people to go open a pull request, but you should do so, if only to get a better understanding of what the community has already given you for free.

Yes. I guess that’s fair though. Most people don’t like change.

So you’re complaining that you have to click on it - once every two years - when you reboot…

That’s rough, buddy.

I joke. But also, I guess if you feel that strongly about wasting my a click, Linux is definitely the OS for you.

In contrast, I set my nephew up with Linux Mint, and he is now slowly converting the rest of his family to open source solutions.

My understanding is that they keep having conversations about privacy news, and he keeps knowing a solution, which sometimes is Android or Linux based. So now his parents will ask me “Is it true the XY protects against YZ and is free?”

It’s been a pretty cool thing to watch.

I find Garyjay helps with this, by mingling videos from other services.

Sometimes by the time I’ve tried one of the first videos to load from other services, the PeerTube results have loaded for me.

Yes.

At this rate, we will be having a “local files are hard for the average user” debate, here, in another decade.

Which, maybe it will be, at that point.
