I just looked in detail through their privacy policy, and it looks like if you use their “service” they are collecting quite a bit of data, certainly more than I would have expected. I only use stand alone, non-federated homeservers and I have everything disabled as far as telemetry, etc, but I think you’ve convinced me to keep an eye on the other clients. I last test drove several last year and all of them were either lacking features I needed or had issues.

Are you specifically referring to the mobile client of Element? i wasn’t away of anything with the desktop client that has anything to do with location.

I hear police boxes and phones booths are popular as well.

My current favorite music player on PC is Quod Libet. It gives a bit of the old FB2K vibe with how its music selection works as well as all the plugins. I use it on Linux, but I know they have a Windows version as well.

Pinball Fantasies, Raptor, Heretic

I knew someone in school that had a CD-i and I was excited to try out the Zelda game… I made a terrible mistake as did the people that made it. It’s probably still a cool collector’s item, but man it was bad.

I used Openbox directly without a DE for a number of years on my netbook. It was perfectly serviceable for that use case, but I don’t think I’d have been as happy with it for my main workstation or personal desktop.

Maybe that is what it was that I am thinking of.

I could swear my original US release had some weird combo of the two. I gave away 90% of my PS1 and PS2 games last year so I can’t check now, but I really think it had the main image shown from the Japanese release on the case. Maybe the image was shown in game on the loading screen or something and I am just remembering it wrong.

Thanks for reminding me that Megaman actually talked like that in the awful Saturday morning cartoon I watched as a kid (Captain N: The Game Master)

The issue is that it was the DE originally, some people (myself included) just didn’t fully get the memo when it changed like 15 or so years ago. I haven’t used the KDE DE since before that change, so I get how it could be missed. Rebranding is hard, even years later. I am sure many people think KFC still stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken too.

This looks great, but I also understand why you got rid of it. I had to do the same and gave away all of my retro systems and CRTs all the way back to my Atari 2600. It just took up too much space for how little it was being used so I wanted that stuff to be in the hands of someone that would hopefully enjoy it.

Reminds me of the informal study where people kept choosing pizza that came in more/smaller slices because they thought it was more pizza.

Definitely not you, they absolutely do this with snaps and have for a while. This was the main reason I stopped using Ubuntu.

Not exactly, when Crunhbang development ceased Crunchbang++ aka #!++came out and that distro is currently maintained. As far as I can tell #!++ is more of the same, which is a good thing. I had to retire my tired old eee pcs a long while back, so the NUC I replaced it with was fine with standard Debian since it had 16x the ram.

I was always a fan of crunchbang when I used a couple of eee pcs as servers. It ran very light.

It just barely makes the cut off since it came out in 99, but Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is my favorite strategy game of all time. It even managed to get a Linux port and you can get it on GOG. I was excited when Civ: Beyond Earth was announced that it would be a true successor, but sadly it wasn’t even close.

I’d have said Twisted Metal 2, but the first game was still very fun.

When my local arcade was shutting down around 2000 or so I almost bought their 4 player Gauntlet machine for really cheap. I had to decline once I realized that I didn’t have a way to get it home and my front door was too small to fit to through.

I still have my copy, but come on, this game is bad and should feel bad.
