Guys, the divorce message has been passed and heard, the worm is in the apple.
Now let’s be the geek squad we are and find a good tech solution for OP.
Sadly I can’t help as I don’t know shit about the iPhone.
- Comment on Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve helped plenty of people move to my country, always on subreddits and now on lemmy communities, I sometimes receive DMs asking for information.
So I’d say, find a community for that country and ask questions. If they are none on lemmy then you might get a provisional authorization to ask on reddit.

I live in the same era than you, I don’t feel anything bro.
- Comment on Anon has regrets 2 weeks ago:
I know duh, that doesn’t change the fact that OP was most probably not talking about contraception pills, which wouldn’t help neither in that scenario.
- Comment on Anon has regrets 2 weeks ago:
I think OP is talking about the PrEP pill, which is a cool thing but hard to get.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 2 weeks ago:
Really? Ah shit, I have it legit on steam so it should use ubi launcher but I haven’t started it in a while.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 2 weeks ago:
Yep, I don’t know what happened with the reviews lately. I know they did something with the servers, maybe with the PVP server so that might have made all those players angry.
I don’t have any DLC ships, except maybe for some gifted ones and I only play solo pirate/merchant on the PVE server and don’t engage too much with the community.
It is a very slow game, combats takes ages as well as trade runs. But that is what I like in those games, I just relax sailing and trying to demast some merchants. Maybe if I was participating with the community (port raiding for your nation etc) I would be angry too.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 2 weeks ago:
From the creators of Cold Waters you have Sea Power, I like it a lot but it is more about strategy fighting with missiles and stuff from the Cold War then really enjoying sea.
Ultimate admiral dreadnoughts and War on the sea are also cool options for naval warfare.
Ships at Sea for normal modern sea stuff (fishing, cargo etc).
Naval action for slow wooden ships in the Bahamas.
But the best pirate game still is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. You can mod it a little and find good shaders to have it look a bit better on today’s hardware.

- Comment on Day 259 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.
I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.
The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.
Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used toto 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.
As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 4 weeks ago:
Scent-ore
Simply “englishified” from French where I’ve ever heard only one way, Centaur (100 tor).
- Comment on I just found out 200GB SFP exists (imagine my seed ratio!) 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen two times in my life couples walking on the street with the husband holding is hand around the woman neck like that.
I told friends and they didn’t believe some people could do that. Later during the year we saw another couple walking the same way.
I really don’t understand, like you said, it gives me the creeps.

- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 1 month ago:
I am convinced there’s a class of Americans that just don’t read *any* news at all
That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.
In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.
IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying “it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait”. Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.

We ally with California, Mexico and Canada then liberate the Gilead Republic (see The Handmaid’s Tale series and Civil War film).
- Comment on Why do people hold tobacco cigarettes and cannabis joints differently when smoking them? 1 month ago:
From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.
Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.
Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette and the heat is more easily transferred.
When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.
Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).
- Comment on Waking up an hour before you intend to 1 month ago:
Bonjour, yes it is. It’s 11am now so still way before the “Bonsoir” time which don’t really have an official time (it’s when it’s dark and we don’t have a good afternoon equivalent).

- Comment on The FAA Has a Big Problem with Mental Health 1 month ago:
Well yeah, it’s hard to see the radar screen or reach the rudder pedals if you are a dwarf.
I am a blind air traffic controller and even I can see that it would be difficult.
- Comment on The FAA Has a Big Problem with Mental Health 1 month ago:
FAA also have a problem with its ATC branch. Basically they lack fund, workers are overworked, overstressed, tired and procedures are not always safe (visual app for liners, not strong enough phraseology).
This will lead to more deaths and no, it will not have to do with the skin color or sexual preferences of the ATCO.
(+ FAA had a problem as a regulator, see what happened with Boeing)
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 1 month ago:
They do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage) but they definitely do.
Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 !
