I really want this for a lot of games. GTA5 became this absolutely beautiful spectacle of a game once I had the ability to control the flow of time. Something beautiful about launching a rocket and watching it crawl to its destination under the twinkling sunlight, past the unsuspecting bypassers who barely have time to register that something is up. Breathtaking game.

A guy who smokes 10 packs of cigarettes a day, and then switches 10 E-cigs is still harming himself with nicotine, and still paying money to those same Tobacco companies -- but he's no longer ingesting tar, and is slowly slowly weaning himself off the substance.

I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.

I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.

Change your window width to 760px to get the maximum horizontal readability on this terribly formatted website, or switch to reader mode

Also, you're connecting to a nearby cell tower which then relays your connection to the wider web, with an exit point at your VPN provider.

If the nearby cell tower is compromised, they can try MITM attacks which might not need SSL authentication (e.g. you might have a backdoor on your device that does not require an external certificate to access it (in fact I would be surprised if it would)).

Doing this before would be illegal. Now it is legal.

How does e/OS/ compare with Lineage?

[–] tetris11@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Eh it used to be for me, but genuinely Bluetooth is way more convenient and relatively low power too.

Organic Maps is surprisingly good. Not fantastic, no - but it can highlight coffee shops or restaurants or gas stations on your route

Good advice in general
