Glifted

I tried EVE again last year. I lasted three days

I just switched back to Linux a week ago (Ubuntu Studio 24.04) from windows. I used to use Linux 15 years ago and I tried a lot of distros at that time. Eventually I landed on Crunchbang which I loved dearly.

Since it’s been awhile I wanted something fairly vanilla so Ubuntu Studio felt like a good start. I was planning on switching to something else (I hear we have Crunchbang++ now) after getting used to Linux again but I have kind of settled in to Ubuntu now. It feels a little sloppy but comfortable somehow.

House of the Dying Sun

Primarily I just think the difference is overall good design between the OS and the phone itself. There are a lot of little thoughtful details that improve the experience.

The ‘glyph’ lights are a good example. When I was researching the phone I thought they were just a gimmick. Like sure they’re neat and all but I didn’t really see much value added. However, in practice you start realizing how valuable they are.

The notifications lights can be customized so important ones turn on a light until the phone is checked. This makes ignoring your phone so much easier. The Glyph Timer is really useful, especially if you need a silent timer. There’s also a Glyph flashlight. This seems redundant at first because there’s already an LED flashlight on the back of the phone, like every other phone. However, the Glyph flashlight is much softer which is perfect for navigating a dark room where someone is sleeping.

People will point out that most of Nothing’s features can be replicated in some capacity on any Android phone. This is absolutely true, but I think they’re discounting how thoughtfully these details are implemented by Nothing on their phones.

…and just so it’s perfectly clear: I am VERY happy with Nothing OS and the 2a. Like, happy enough that my next phone will likely be a Nothing phone as well. It’s been the best out-of-box user experience I’ve ever had with a phone

I’m writing this on a 2a and the only thing ‘missing’ for me is an SD card slot but I’m told that’s out of fashion these days anyway

Played this relentlessly back in the day. My family all rode snowmobiles so I was probably more into it than it deserved

Tom Francis made Gunpoint and Heat Signature. This is nearly guaranteed to be a banger

I don’t get it. I’ve had two Garmin watches and they both received regular updates and occasionally new features trickle down to the older models (where possible).

Both games are by Tom Francis. His new game Tactical Breach Wizards is ‘coming soon’ as well

• Heat Signature
• House of the Dying Sun
• Thumper
• Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space
• Gunpoint

Part of the problem was how poorly steam ran when it was first introduced

New to AC myself. Having a lot of fun with it. I don’t get why people are upset about it. Like it isn’t the greatest game I’ve ever played but I’m definitely enjoying it

Fucking “Heat Signature”. Look it up, buy it, thank me later.

My parents had a WebTV when I was in highschool. They kept it for a very long time. it was awful.

I also have a Raspberry Pi Zero running a Pi Hole on my network. I don’t think raspberry pi’s are as unusual as some of the other things here. I know a lot of people who use them for various things.

It’s not real
