Check out "ballistics". Really fun racing game.

Preface this by saying it has been a few years. I used to have a windows phone and when the platform died I used a "dumb" phone for a year until my wife told me to get an Android device.

I was using a Nokia ngage qd. It's a small phone that has a peculiar form factor, shaped like a controller. It was made as a gaming handheld, so it has a bunch of gaming apps and over the year a lot of Homebrew stuff. It definitely came from a different era. You need to explicitly lock the phone otherwise it would only lock the keys to prevent pocket dialing. Locking the keys does not require a code to unlock, only the manual locking does iirc.

Because it has games, it was still a great time killer in situations. It's has a small proprietary jack, but I have the original earphones so could listen to music (no mp3, but ogg).

Biggest pet peeve was not being able to sync my calendar. It uses a protocol I couldn't find a setup for. Device also utilized a WAP browser, which is useless now.

Calling and texting: great. Games: great, sometimes crashy or won't load. Homebrew: hit and miss, depending.

The pinephone has slightly better specs, is equally outdated, but the price point is a lot better.

I thought they gambled on the hydrogen car?

From schuko to shocko

"Santa Claus" doesn't come down the chimneys but his helpers do, and he doesn't come in the night after Christmas Eve, but the night between 5 and 6 December.

Here, Christmas is people giving each other presents. Santa Claus is only a thing in commercials. I'm sure some families try to follow the American version for their kids, but i don't know any. We don't put up Christmas decorations until Sinterklaas has left, but that unwritten rule is slowly disappearing.

Ik dacht gelezen te hebben dat het de 3 euro Europese tax ging zijn en niet de extra 2 euro tax van ons land. Niet de beide.

What a beautiful cat. Doesn't give me "angry" looking vibes at all.

Might try this. I chased one of the cats with one of the branches that came off (it's a fake tree with detachable branches). They stayed out if it for a while but lately I've been seeing some loose branches again. Don't want to traumatize them too much by chasing them again with it.

Sir, a second paper plane has hit the presents.

Ha! I knew it. Thanks for confirming :-)

What kind of "skill" or "me" issue is there with bugs? I make the windows flicker by sheer lack of skill? The Steam or Firefox windows stop updating because I have a "particular setup"? Those are bugs. I did not have these issues on Gnome X11.

Just stop and think a little.

edit: here is another anecdote from today. My son has different hardware than me, but also runs Gnome Wayland. He had an issue with his microphone in a game, it kept feeding into itself. So I alt-tabbed to check if the source that was active was the monitor of the microphone, since we were messing with easy effects earlier, and it was indeed still on monitor. I turned the monitor setting off and went back into the game. Now we had no mic input. No problem, let's check again, we probably forgot to change the source from the monitor to the actual microphone. Alt-tab did nothing, Windows/Super key did nothing. He didn't want to quit the game, so he continued as it was. Must be another skill issue, not being able to alt-tab or bring up the overview with the super key after doing it once. I still am going to pin this on "gaming using Gnome Wayland is buggy".

Edit2: waaaiit, it just clicked. You're one of those pedantic people. It's not a "Wayland, the protocol", issue, it's a "Wayland implementation in gnome in combination with my hardware and selection of games and streaming software issue"! I hope that makes more sense. Sorry, I thought I could simplify it by the way I may have said it, I'm sure everyone else understood what I meant.

Congratulations. Your system is bug free. I just sat my system down and told them about yours and they promised to try harder.

What am I even supposed to do with that? You're one of those guys working at an internal helpdesk replying "it works on my machine" and closing tickets.

such as windows no longer updating, or windows flickering

Learn to read, this was in my first post.

The Pagemaster, so underrated. Great story about overcoming fear.

Look up the original Tik-Tak from the BRTN. it's non spoken animation with shapes, sounds and music. Great for toddlers. All the music is ingrained in me :D

Other good show from the BRTN was "Er was eens". They are split up in 4 main "seasons: de mens, de aarde, de ruimte and het leven.

History, how earth was formed and evolved, space and human biology.

Dutch and French, I'm not sure if it was ever dubbed English, but my kids watched this on repeat.

Remove the nightmare episode from pingu until they are older, that one caused some issues 🫩

This is not the original picture, I believe it was a skeleton model originally.

I use Jerboa. It's closest to the app I used for Reddit (Joey) after a few tweaks.

Flat list of posts, small thumbnails on the side. Clean interface. Default sort is all top day.

Let's see how this plays out with windows 11 😄
