This isn’t quite in line with your question but it’s adjacently meta:
the first time you fall to your death in Bastion the (amazing) narrator says “…and then he fell to his death. … Ahh, I’m just foolin’.” and then you respawn on the platform because videogame. - Comment on November 1st 3 days ago:
Outstanding

Oh heck yeah. Some of the most fun I’ve had with couch co-op was in Timesplitters 2.

I’m on Android. You’ve motivated me to dig up that setting and change it. I had assumed that each application handled that individually.
Mm. Looks like Android also has that locked down these days. We need a viable Linux phone. - Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got it, it seems to not engage when I follow links from other apps on mobile.

That site is terrible. It popped up a modal begging for my email address just from scrolling, and it did the back-button hijack via hidden redirection on initial page load, which then redirected my back button to a different page which tried to beg me to stay on their domain.
In case any future web designers are reading this: trying to trick me into spending more time on your website is the fastest way to make me want to burn your website to the ground and dance in its ashes. - Comment on my smart hot air fryer, every single time 3 weeks ago:

Yeah. And if nobody’s done your specific model, you’re all the way out of luck.
- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 1 month ago:
Technically most things we call “Linux” aren’t even Linux, they’re distributions that use Linux as a base. Android forks their own Linux kernel and then shovels on a whole bunch of non-Linuxy stuff on top of it and then locks it all down so that you can’t make any changes.
So what people mean when they say they want a true Linux phone is that they want an OS on their phone that behaves more like most Linux distributions (where you are in control, and can even install a different kernel if you wanted).
As for the forking question, being downstream of Android means A) undoing everything they did it lock it down and B) constantly having to do that moving forward as they do everything they can to stymie you at every turn. - Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 1 month ago:
Not easily anyway. Probably if you could do it at a hardware level, but manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to even get the dang thing open, and every model and revision would require intense research just to prove it out.

“they should keep politics out of Star Trek”
Ah I see the problem here.
The problem is that I thought I had to care about your opinion, when I really, really do not.
Go back and watch literally any episode, ever, and come back and apologize for this embarrassment of a post. - Comment on No words 1 month ago:
