Wireguard.

Just monopoly things.

Yes, I agree.
But Sony has drivers out there for a few more devices.

I used Maemo on my N900 <3.

I don’t wanna use Sailfish bcs of the phone support tho, I’m shallow af & I need my hardware :(.
(I also have a few other Sailfish issues, the source code/availability/package, the licencing - but I feel like all of those could/would change with some growth.)

Gemini replaced Bitchxby on the latest Samsungs.

It’s in the firmware.

With the S25 series they even give you a year of full subscription.
They made it the centrepiece of the launch event of the product line.

Galaxy devices now come with Gemini, your powerful AI assistant from Google. Long press the power button to get started.

The Samsung’s front is called “Galaxy AI” but Gemini runs every new feature really - including “cross-apps actions”.
(The non-obsolete Bixby features retained the name but are part of Galaxy AI now.)

But even with everything off One UI 7 (and Samsung apps, like camera) is still littered with AI buttons.

(Gemini is now the default action for long-pressing the power button)

All I need is a good enough emulation of android apps to fool them (eg for banking).

So nice of her to include a comprehensive disclaimer list, much appreciated.

I’d argue both DMC and Castlevania has more depth than Duke.

Def! I said that specifically.

Of the two especially Castlevania offers much more depth & independence to it’s characters.

Duke 1 & 2 didn’t even leave that much character impression on me as the 3(D) did (ok, nether did Keen tbh).

Duke Nukem series will def be it’s own thing (like DMCs & Castlevanias), taking characters & the base premise & do its own thing. Same universe but unrelated to the games. Like comic books - the number of different ways Bruce’s parents get deaded is absurd :D (one time even due to Teen Titans actions).

Yeah, lol, didn’t know how to phrase that - down the throat would def be if he shat in the throat part of the body, but with the head you could say both (‘up’ in regards to the usual way things go down the throat but ‘down’ in regards to gravity).

I guess “down” would be the better choice, my bad.

edit: … my brainhole fucked up, he shits down the throat of the body. Why do I remember him sitting on the decapitated head? Was that in Fornever Forever?

Yes, but it’s a very good character & world/lore to build a story + the games themselves have a ton of situationally epic things in them to include or even build around them.
(If Duke doesn’t shit up the throat of a decapitated alien we riot.)

And tho there is more lore, it’s not like Castlevania and DMC are directly screen-playable, but they did a fairly good job (there are better showrunners in the genre, but I think Duky Nuky fits the chill & just barely enough complicated/just over the border of simplistic vibe of DMC show, and I’m sure won’t skip on epic cool shit, maybe even a decent joke or two … I dread the inevitably cringe oneliners).

Thx for the info & insight!

Yes.

But else laws got passed bcs it was presented like how airplanes deserve being untaxed (to the cost of taxpayers) but railroad doesn’t.

You can try to change those laws & get the same lobby propaganda in return.

Like how is there always money for another lane but much cheaper infrastructure is crumbling.

Governments hand out money to make the best mode of transportation (from their pov) also the cheapest.

Yeah, no, corruption & short-term gains are the main factors by which the gov decided what is best.
And why more socialist or even communist states tend to have that sorted out better.

also the cheapest.

Cars were never that tho.

I’ll sometimes go back & go through TSA multiple times, they love that, makes them feel appreciated!

Lmao, money concentration wins over all the things human.

We deserve ourselves as a species.
Not sure if the rest of the species do.

With 300mph trains instead is highways that’s 7 hours, k, let’s say 10 hours of leisure, dining, sightseeing.
(vs 2h airport + 4h flight + 1 or 2h airport taxiing & stuff again)

The railroad infrastructure seems expensive just bcs it is presented that way (and planes & roads arent).

Such infrastructure should be completely & unlimitedly free for private use.

When Germany did (twice? Forgot the details :/) the experiment with the unlimited EU monthly tickets for 7€ or whatever people were really glad, everyone could travel & see more. And they still talk about that.

Maybe they do make trains, but like so badly they just accidentally take off (for an uncontrolled amount of time).

Train infrastructure is so underfunded (thx oil) that you can still get the fingering at most train stations for a really reasonable fee.

*monetary value
(in relation to toxic culture)

(bcs value that people actuality bring to society often isn’t fairly valued in terms of money or even not at all)
