Yes. That’s public agent.

I haven’t done it on Android, but you get to do remote debugging through Safari on a Mac when you plug in a developer-enabled iPhone.

I’d expect Chrome and Firefox to do the same on Android in sone manner.

I’ve tried some of scopely’s games. They’re following this playbook to the letter.

You’ll be getting freebies when your friends spend cash. You’ll get time limited offers. You’ll be paying to “try again”, against other players.

Who wins when a wall street broker and an oil sheikh use their wallets to fight over a Pokémon gym? Scopely wins.

I just bought one last year.

It’s not retro. It’s in that sweet spot where it’s irrelevant enough to be dirt cheap.

We’ll need to wait another 10-20 years before the kids who grew up with the xbox360 have enough time and disposable income to buy and play all the games they loved in their youth.

I have a storagebox at hetzner. My script does:

• Mount the storagebox over sshfs with public key file
• Mount a gocryptfs folder, with supplied key on local file
• Rsync my stuff to the encrypted folder
• Unmounts in reverse order

I can access the storagebox by password, too. So this is my disaster recovery in case my house burns down with all my devices. I’ll just buy another laptop the next day, and me and the Mrs can admire all my code and our wedding videos within a few hours.

Get your own domain. Don’t host your own.

I’ve had the same domain on gmail, proton and now purelymail.

I’m a bit torn.

I want there to be diversity and free choice regarding where I get my apps from, so one less choice only strengthens Google’s monopoly.

As a user, Amazon’s app store was just sketchy.

As a developer I don’t want to be submitting every update to yet another store for every release. I have had users mail me and ask to add my app to the Amazon app store, because their device didn’t come with Google’s play store.

They work on both desktop and android versions of Firefox, at least. I haven’t tried other android browsers, but I’d expect it to work.

I like to make bookmarklets for these kind of things.

Just make a page with a link that runs a javascript snippet. Drag that link to your bookmark bar, and you have a new action button. Firefox syncs them from desktop to mobile, there’s probably a way to add them straight on your mobile browser, too.

The snippet could post the current URL, post what you’ve currently selected. Tinyurl has an example for creating a tinyurl from where you are - probably a good starting point.

I’ve got one that posts to my personal URL shortener. One that grabs metadata from a ticketing system and makes nice linky markdown in my clipboard for me to paste on slack.

My day-to-day stuff stays in sync via syncthing on my two laptops, my desktop and my home server. They all run btrfs, so I won’t be syncing any flipped bits around.

Home server rsyncs from my VPS once a week. When that’s fine, it rsyncs itself over to a hetzner storage over sshfs+gocryptfs.

Four copies at home, one in the cloud.

I’ve tried libreelec on a raspberry pi 4, but it just doesn’t pass the wife test.

We have a thomson streaming stick 140G (EU branding for ONN). We just use jellyfin, smarttube and our national public service streaming apps. It’s in apps-only mode, but Google still injects one ad on the home screen. I didn’t bother with a custom launcher just yet.

I’m a human bean.

That proves it!

I went over to purelymail, but it’s in .us

It’s not fancy encrypted like proton, but it’s very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

+1 for purelymail.

I’ve had my personal domain on gmail and most recently proton. Proton got too pricy when I wanted to add another couple of domains. After some research I landed on purelymail, and it’s been smooth sailing to set up and use.

Sweet!

I’m always jealous of EN-ANSI keyboard users who get neat devices like these in their native keyboard layout.

I don’t think I’ve had one in my choice of keyboard layout since the Nokia e70… 20 years ago.

This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s

Don’t forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

When I was a kid, we played pacman. A literal puck who eats pixels and takes turns chasing ghosts. We turned out fine.

It’s not like that’s what caused us to go to rave parties, listen to beepy music and pop ecstacy pills.

Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.

It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.

But, she still doesn’t trust it, and she doesn’t think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it…

I even bought her the affinity suite.

I’m starting to think she’ll never move on from Windows 7.

I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent… right?

I use arch, btw.
