Pulse SMS App for Android recently updated to include:

New “Discover” Section: Find new offers, inspiring content, articles & more

On a messaging app, really??? Who wants any of those features when trying to message someone?

You should check out Stardew Valley. Super chill game that evolves at your own pace.

Don't like to fish on the game? Don't fish.

Don't like to go in the mines and fight stuff? Don't go in the caves.

Play on a PC and want to spend hours just modding the hell out of the game? Go for it.

Great lists so far. I'll add one that I picked up from a previous thread:

URLCheck

URLCheck acts as an amazingly customizable and powerful intermediary when opening url links, allowing, among other things: to remove trackers, affiliate links, unnecessary elements, check Hosts, facilitating link holding and sharing, protecting against certain phishing techniques and many more...

I initially joined this conversation to say that there would be no way for anyone to deserve such a great shoe tying complement, but after researching your abilities I must say that I stand corrected. Bravo on your fantastic ability.

Here was the best explanation I found in the Toot link above: @rothko@beige.party ... it's not a riddle. each phrase is merely a statement of fact.

"What" is a word made up of 4 letters.

"Yet" is made up of 3.

"Although" is written with 8 letters"

and "then" with 4.

"Rarely" consists of 6, and

"never" is written with 5.

it's not actually asking for an answer

Exactly right. I hate it when people pronounce it as gif instead.

When I first started Lemmy the general consensus was top 6-hour, so I start with that. When that gets boring I switch to New.

Not sure how to link a Lemmy instance, but this link should hopefully work: https://sub.wetshaving.social/c/wetshaving

As someone who currently uses Pulse SMS+ and has been looking for alternatives like Google Messaging, are there any major issues I should be aware of?

I liked Pulse since I could send messages from a desktop app, but I can't install it on my work computer any longer.

I also liked the WearOS app from Pulse, but they discontinued it.

From the article:

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is required under state law to call a special election within two weeks of McCarthy’s seat becoming vacant. That special election must take place between 126 and 140 days later, though it may be able to coincide with California’s congressional primaries on March 5.

Thanks for the recommendations, especially URLCheck. I already had FDroid and have been trying to figure out an easy way to clean tracking URLs.

Mandy?

Intellivision II and Commodore 64 with joystick. Not sure which one we had first first.

Looks like a Chevrolet panel truck from around 1940. Here is a similar model painted like a Krispy Kreme donut delivery vehicle https://www.classic.com/veh/1940-chevrolet-panel-truck-4DolJwp/

Sorry if this is a basic question. So if I have a pihole, do I just need to update the Raspberry Pi software, along with updating pihole software to resolve the insecurities? Or do I need to change the DNS settings of the pihole?

Good bot

Another factor is how addictive the game is designed to be. A quick search led me to https://www.video-game-addiction.org/what-makes-games-addictive.html which covers some of the things. For example:

Games that hook players are often designed to be just difficult enough to be truly challenging, while allowing players to achieve small accomplishments that compel them to keep playing. In that respect, the design of video games is similar to the design of gambling casinos, which will allow players to have small “wins” that keep them playing.>

Going over addictive design elements like this can at least let people be more aware of why they keep wanting to play.

Fantastic breakdown, thank you.

Real old-school vibes, I love it.

Thanks for the advice.

Bonus points for using images from Tuca and Bertie. I love that show.

This seems like Godzilla's origin story. Should be fun.

Makes sense, thanks for the response.

I have a US made Wahl trimmer as well and love it.

Was the replacement also US made? I'm considering sharpening the blades on mine instead of purchasing a new one since I'm worried about the quality of the replacement.

Makes sense. Thanks

I'll have to try that out, thanks.
