No, listen, you are part of one the most reliable drug distribution networks in history. Your services literally save lives. This is not a bit.

Damn, that's really funny. Maybe the original copypasta needs a sequel. BTC was worth like tenbux when this was originally written.

Might suggest the idea to a writer friend if you don't object.

Not bad! I think the rag add can be improved both IRL and emoji-style by tying it around the neck of the bottle rather than shoving it in the end. Rag-in-the-mouth of the bottle mollies have a bad rep for failing in minecraft so, yeah, could be something to think about.

If I remember to remember I'll have a crack at it myself. Maybe attempt a vector version so it has toonish design clarity. The hand in your design is a great touch for showing the scale of the smolotov. Its good work.

Hell yeah.

Yeah. This and some other replies has really galvanised my decisions thus far. Steam really is a dick like that too, I feel you there.

Funnily enough a couple of months ago I set up a separate browser profile on my computer so I could just run steam chat in it via their web interface, there are some contacts I would lose touch with without it. Its not perfect but it is one way I've found to at least use that part of their platform without having a massive billboard of ads and deals fill my screen every time I just want to touch base with some g#mers.

Now I'm doing similar on this portable device for all sorts of things that don't deserve my trust but do provide some value still with their webapp versions and can be ublocked, noscripted, etc etc.

Good for you, I know quitting steam is a pretty big decision. Fuck em.

Thank you. :)

Yeah, I didn't wanna flex but my tablet is a Y700 too lol. Gang gang.

I've been appreciating how Aurora keeps the installed apps up to date even just running with a non-logged in device. I'm really impressed by it. I think I'll proceed as you suggest and go ahead and install some of my purchased apps through it. If anything chokes because I don't have play service running for license verification then "oh well, get fucked, crack u later" etc.

One of the bigger things lacking, I am starting to remember/realise, is that I don't have my old webdav etc server(s) set up this time around. I can solve that and get a bunch of usefulness back. Might even still have the old machine sitting around somewhere with my old calendar / birthday reminders etc.

Thanks for the app suggestions, I've only partially debloated so far, so the suggestions are v helpful.

Appreciating that you "get it" and aren't just "no its fine android 14 has your back" because we know that isn't a sensible attitude if you really want a non-adversarial relationship with a device.

And also appreciate your point that perfect is the enemy of the good. Just gotta not cede unnecessary ground just cuz autodesk have "the best drawing apps" or whatever.

It's okay to let some of this stuff go. At least for a subset of the commercial software I should be fine downloading the paid full version unlocker companion app rather than everything being license checked by google.

Hope you're enjoying your tablet too. :)

Also only works on pixel phones, I don't trust myself to fork it, maintain it nor keep it up to par for my device.

Still, its worth talking about graphene. Next time I'm replacing a phone it'll be on the menu for sure.

Yeah. I guess I know this and am just sorta grappling with the fact that I just need to get my shit together and rebuild my decaying self hosted webdav/caldav stuff and put a bit more work into my local media hosting infrastructure etc.

I think that's the biggest thing/things I'm missing from the setup that brought my previous devices from neat toy to something that was helping me keep my life from being chaos.

Fuck it, I'll just do the work. Appreciate your reply a lot, its a good reality check. Thank you.

I'm no ammosexual but FN posts never disappoint.

Was pleasantly surprised by that Berretta rifu the other day too. Fantastic aesthetic qualities.

Inverse Cramer go brr

Volumetric pixels. When everything is made out of smol cube instead of textured polygons.

Looking forward to this liberation tbh. Put me in, coach.
