Tetris? Any remake they've made was basically just a texture pack?

Fair enough :)

Yeah, OK. So how do you judge if you can or can't see the corner safely? Is that your own judgment? Or does every red light have a sign saying you can or cannot make a right? Genuinely curious.

I agree you can safely make a right turn on a red light depending on the local situation, it just sounds like it would be filled with exceptions for safety reasons. Hence the "don't cross a red light ever" feels much simpler and safer?

  • Proprietary, yes, from a Foss pov it's not good I guess

  • Owned by ex opera ppl: that's a good thing tbh. Old opera was fantastic. New opera is more fishy after they were acquired by a Chinese group.

There is a lot of browser love in Vivaldi tbh. They are very open and transparent. Haven't found a single red flag about Vivaldi (aside from not being FOSS, which for me isn't a red flag per se)

They even run their own Mastodon servers for their community ;)

I don't use brave, but I use Vivaldi.

The main reason for me is native mouse gestures. They are so much better than addon mouse gestures.

And speed dials. Addon ones are okayish, but I prefer the Vivaldi implementation.

If Firefox would ever ass native mouse gestures, I would swap in an instant. Until then, no can do :(

Wtf? Why is that even allowed in the US? Never seen that in the EU or any other country I've driven a car in. Red is red, it's like an impenetrable wall. No passing under no circumstance. Simple, easy, safe, everyone knows.

It literally takes 1h max, and the majority is done automagically. Setting them up is the least annoying part of it all...

Tbh, if you're that paranoia about your phone, to the extent that you don't trust grapheneOS... Go back to a dumbphone.... The stuff you actually do on your phone (eg using anything on the internet through your provider/ISP) is probably 100x "riskier" than the insane offchance that some three letter agency is "hacking" your phone...

No native gestures = no go

Good to know. I realized Scalzi had a new book out, so reading that first, big fan of his writing style. Quick reads in general.

After that I might read Use of Weapons then :) Thx for the recommendation

I just finished the player of games. Fun book.

Not sure what to read next. I want scifi, but something light. Might go for the next book in the culture series, but I read the quality goes down over time.
