So many great titles in the comments. I’ll add a few of mine:

Jill of the Jungle
Zaxxon
Heretic (Doom clone)
Stellar 7 (can’t recall if shareware or if I just shared it)

“I am da Shaddo wahdiyah. Lessuh fight!”

RoTT WAS SO FUN! How about heretic, another Doom clone? The chicken weapon was a favorite of mine.

Long before

I just updated to 2.24.2 that specifically addresses this, but its back again.

Same for me. Closing and clearing cache was necessary to clear the unexplained dot.

Same. Clicking into every subject submenu shows nothing of import, and does not clear the notification dot. Not using PWA. @aeharding@vger.social

Edit: clearing cache after force closing resolved the dot, but would like to know what this is about.

I can’t say with a straight face that I didn’t see this coming.

By blocking all mention of Pixelfed on their platforms.

Ha! I don’t get the connection, but I’m watching KN reruns as I type this.

Don’t forget that the game producer can now collect and sell data on their customers’ systems.

With no privacy laws on the books in the USA, there’s literally nothing stopping them, and a lot of incentive to do it.

This is the real answer I was looking for in the comments.

Edit: it always goes back to Reagan.

Why did unions lose their power? Reagan threatened striking ATC workers with firing if they didn’t return to work immediately. Suddenly striking workers could be fired.

Why did weed become a life sentence drug? Reagan.

Who demonized the poor on welfare, calling them welfare queens? Who is Ronald Reagan, Alex?

Deregulated Wall street, banking and commerce sector, too.

If there’s a glaring problem with the USA, there’s a very good chance it dates back to RR.

Seconded

Thx!

Is it possible there is a preorder link that doesn’t involve Musk-ex-twitter?

Love this game from my childhood.

With a call to the police to report cruelty to animals?

Nobody is being murdered for their profession. Choices are what people have a problem with. Choose to exploit the masses for the shareholders long enough and someone is going to pop off.

Edit: links, and this quoted fact:

There’s no indication yet of any companies facing actual penalties for the behavior.

I think there’s a misconception about elected officials. Many people believe they work to improve the lives of American citizens, but they don’t.

This. They want votes. They do what they think will get them votes. And yet, often – and in the last election – the democrats that help the people (like by walking a union picket line, supporting LGBTQ+ and basic human rights, legalizing cannabis, reducing penalties petty crimes, etc.) don’t get the votes that are part of the bargain.

They vote for and enact legislation that helps the people, and the people don’t re-elect them. The incentive shifts to satisfying wealthy donors.
