I’ve said on a few occasions when this subject came up about them closing off the ability to install whatever you want - the only reason Android has been what it is until now is because they needed an “in” to compete against iOS and Windows. Gaining a foothold was the priority, but now that they’re huge they can do what they’ve always wanted, to follow Apple’s example of mandatory middle-man.

It’s sickening. What people need to do is only buy second-hand and use devices that can be ROM-ed. I have a couple dozen that I tinker with and test stuff on. I also buy older models, put custom ROMs and Recovery and then sell them at a small premium, but I digress.

There’s only one way to get what you want as a consumer: unite and don’t buy.

In the current age, antitrust laws don’t apply to major shareholders of the Corporation of America.

First game I ever played that had that had an arena where you’re running around fighting enemies and the emcee bad guy was like the dude from The Running Man, and he would yell “TOTAL CARNAGE! IIIIIIIII LOVE IT!!!” damn what was that game called? SMASH TV!

Wow I’ve never seen anyone actually argue their own hypocrisy with hypocrisy.

Motivations are irrelevant. Equality is equality, you can’t give rights to one demographic and deny to another because you think the other is ‘icky’. That is discrimination. Kinda the very thing we’re trying to argue against, and yet you used it as part of your reasoning.

Verbatim in my experience have consistently been the best of everything they’ve made. Also usually the most expensive so they’re not really what most people will buy, unfortunately. Memorex has been a pretty good mid-range, I’d even put it just below Verbatim. But when people buy these shit TDK stuff… you’re not gonna be happy.

Anyway these days you can stick what… 2TB yet? on a microSD. I know that discs offer the not subject to magnetic damage but still… they fail after age far earlier than promised when they were sold.

Fault tolerance is the best for anyone who can afford it. Only way to make sure stuff lasts.

Yes! Damn I knew it sounded weird. Thanks.

Nice! I only played one of them. Whichever one has him say the line “The price of peace freedom is eternal vigilance.” It’s been a loooong time but I remember that very cool quote.

Tom Wilson, and John Rhys-Davies.

I remember one of them had Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Tolwin.

Yes, I’m aware of the ability to manually hide a directory. Thank you anyway for making the suggestion. I do wish the app properly respected the .nomedia file. Ah well.

Meanwhile I have another crash Android dilemma going on as well. Most of the time Android is freaking amazing to me, and then there are times I wonder how something fundamental and basic has been overlooked.

I don’t see any setting that would affect it. Is it possible I have to enable some setting? No matter how I configure it, it’s displaying images within folders that have a .nomedia file.

I’d like also to ask is there any difference between Aves Libre and the Aves Gallery app in the Play store & Aurora store?

Wanna dance?

Someone’s got delusional ideas about what he’s got for sale.

So… After that had fixed it, I’m using device for a few more days and now suddenly there’s a different omen So, share sheet now has an email recipient up there on top of all other items. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere that I can prohibit Outlook items from being shoved onto that position.

What the actual F? Any idea?

Actually someone got it solved for me. Cleared Outlook cache and data. Had to setup over again but it is gone from the share sheet.

Just seeing the main image in the post, immediately made me think of Lands of Lore!

Ah… yeah I forgot. My bad.

Looks phenomenal.

I was recently so excited to discover Fortress Forever also, which is the old TFC game. I dominated in that.

Swimming Nougat.

Did I do that right?

The Apple App Store is a cesspool. Has been for years. It’s just pushing short-term games with gobs of micro transactions by the hundreds. That’s almost all you see. Tons and tons of it.
