Getting Erzatz Elevator vibes from this

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good roguelike for mobile. Ton of variety, no ads, only thing you can buy is a supporter pack that gives the ui a different fringe color, and that doesn't get pushed.

Good post, but dear god the text colors make my eyes hurt.

Alphabet is the company that owns all the products and companies and whatnot. They are the owners of google, android, chrome, google drive, chromium, a ton of stuff. Too much stuff.

Them getting broken up means that the different parts of their business will get split up. So google search and android and chrome etc. Will all be different companies.

The best in example I can think of is AT&T. They used to own pretty much the entire American telephone network, but they got broken up for being a monopoly. In this case, they were split up regionally, into over 20 different companies.

Right, but it might still have to be you paying, insurance or no.

It might be that you HAD to be the one to pay for it. When I hit a certain age, all the insurance cheques were made out to me, and I had to deposit them and transfer the money to my parents.

(Though this was insurance for therapy, so maybe it's different?)

My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.

It's the little things. One of my biggest gripes is that EVERY TIME you run apt update, it shoves an add for Ubuntu pro at the bottom of tge output, which shoves all the info I actually care about offscreen. Pure bullshit. It sounds small, but when I need to check which packages are getting updated, it makes my life a bit more inconvenient. And I do most things through CLI, so I see this a lot.

Shit like that has been my entire experience with Ubuntu. I deeply regret switching to it, and I'm switching off as soon as I can get another hard drive to swap in.
