I haven’t beat 3, but I have beat 4 and 5. I think 5 took the good parts of 3 and 4 and put them in one game. If you want her to play all of them, I’d suggest start with 3 and move her way up. If you want her to get hooked right away, I’d probably say 5 Royal.

And don’t forget Metaphor in the list!

I think you’re thinking of the graph that shows how, if wages were tied to worker productivity, the minimum wage would be $80, but if we’re just talking inflation, the minimum wage should be ~$15-18

Reading back, my comment sounds snarky, but I was genuinely trying to be helpful.

Like what pemptago was describing, instead of symlinking your directories to /home/username/username, you could simply update that file and achieve the same effect, but in a more “official” way that may prove more robust.

Are you aware of the ‘xdg-user-dirs-update’ command that allows you to edit the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs config file?

This is pretty common for people on the Autistic spectrum. We don’t get the guide on how to properly act around people, so we mask by emulating the people we like and want to relate to.

I’m not a doctor or a therapist, but I wouldn’t worry too much about the social chameleon thing unless it’s actively causing rifts in your friendships. Instead, it sounds like you need to work on your willingness to look for and respect other people’s boundaries so as not to appear clingy. I do want to recognize that doing that will be much harder than just speaking it aloud–it’s something I’m working on myself–but it sounds like you’ve already kind of come to that conclusion yourself already.

Seems like 2 was the asshole here. 1 was waiting for 3, and 2 likely wasn’t paying attention.

With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.

Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.

Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?

Linux is great about providing that feeling of discovery. New tools, new processes, new paradigm… It’s the best way to breathe new life into an old piece of hardware.

If this is your first major step, congratulations! If you’re a regular, great job, keep it up; eventually you’ll be a grey beard with the rest of us.

It’s been getting ridiculous. One of the apps on my partner’s phone recently warned that they wouldn’t open with Developer options enabled.

This app is a fucking drink menu and digital punch card for a popular coffee shop, what could be done from the developer options that affects this app in any way? Especially since I only enabled developer options to speed up the godawful Android animations. Out of principal I’ve stopped going there and deleted the app.

Here’s a massive list of “Alternative Internet” software. There are some blockchain items in there, but otherwise it’s pretty extensive.
