ESPN NFL 2K5, and All-Pro Football 2K8 were very ahead of their time. In many areas, Madden has still failed to catch up to these titles.

Signal is my go to. Some of my friends refuse to download it, so I just text them. I’ll use iMessage on iOS and Google Messages on Android. But if I can use Signal, I will

Those users aren’t intelligent enough to understand what the Fediverse is, why they should use it, or even how to sign up.

No repost bots, karma farming, or idiots (mostly). The learning curve to joining the fediverse filters out your average facebook/twitter type that Reddit is filled with today. Lemmy right now is how Reddit was a decade ago

Lemsters

I’m loving it so far. It’s snappy and has no bloat. Just a solid, familiar and well made OS

Graphene os IS Android though. It’s literally Android with every app working, just sandboxed so no Google tracking

If you look up Graphene OS, it’s possible to have smart phone and use smart features and Google apps without being spied on. The OS runs all those apps in a sandbox with no permissions. It’s pretty cool, but only for Pixel phones and you need some technical know-how to flash the rom (if you understand how Lemmy works though you’re probably pretty tech savvy already).

Zorin OS right now

How can voters show demand for non-corrupt candidates if their only options to vote on are corrupt candidates? How can we change this?

I don’t really like the argument “what isn’t spying on us?”. I’d rather avoid anything that spies on its users and doesn’t respect privacy as much as possible. It’s not completely unavoidable.

I would love to set something like this up. Are there any online tutorials you would recommend?

How to develop games. I bought some courses online that lead you through building your first few games, but I need the time do go through them.

I’m a content creator for a living, so right now I’m trying to grind and schedule out a months worth of uploads so I can have the free time to get started. I would love to learn how to make my own video games, and with tools like Unreal Engine and Unity it seems easier than ever before.

But what if every option is corrupt?

What EV did you buy?

Smart TVs are stupid and only exist to make ad revenue and sell user data. I’d pay extra for a TV like an LG C2 OLED but with no OS. Just a monitor that displays sources plugged in.

Sports video games peaked in the mid 2000s and are all garbage cash grabs now. They only make money because they have no competition (Madden is the only NFL game, 2K is the only NBA game, The Show is the only MLB game, etc).

I’ve never met someone who prefers touchscreen climate controls in a car tbh. Everyone I know agrees that it’s stupid and unsafe

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

This is going to sound weird to the Lemmy crowd I’m sure, but Madden NFL 08 on the GameCube/Dolphin
