Those would be great if they worked on cheap handsets. TracFone users should have better security too

When US DNS servers (and Cloudflare) turn off access to and from Poland, I’ll be interested. Until then, the digital taxes are interesting but empty threats as far as the corps are concerned.

Back to a Java flip phone then. Or just off portable radio based computing as a whole. We don’t need portable telephony, and we certainly don’t need to carry portable supercomputers.

It’s not a cyberdeck unless I have trodes and a halo, chummer. But some kind of netbook would be great.

The moment I don’t get to run my own stuff and F-Droid, I’ll be switching off smartphones.

Depends on what the casters have. Stand at the edge of a tall cliff or other height. Contingent action cast Dimension Door. Barb takes the fall, you appear where he was standing last round.

A lot of conservatives simply don’t recognize class divisions as unifying factors. They’d rather support an oligarch who’s on “their side” rather than a working man who leans liberal. They think that the rich guy has the better chance of doing what they want rather than their fellow poor person.

In essence, they accept their powerlessness.

CRT owners after 50 years: “Respect my authoritah!”

The avalanche definitely ups her count some.

Then Ripley should count too.

Okay, but Kidagakash skews the average so sharply that she’s proof of the need for weigthing.

Also, are Alice & Jane actually considered princesses? Jane is Lady Greystone and I could accept her for that, but Alice is just a kid. And if direct adaptations count, why not Wendy? Why not Tiger Lily (who counts if Pocahontas does)? Or Dejah Thoris, the titular “Princess of Mars”?

It’s free and runs stuff good.

COBOL is about as far from a “toy” as I can imagine. Almost everything corpo runs on it at some level.

Quality is exactly what we need in games machines.

Not meaningless iteration and oppressive corporate greed. The 2600 was a quality machine - you can still find working VCS consoles in the wild - and when they fail, it’s usually something that can be fixed by the owner of the console. It doesn’t die because software tells it to die, or because of a known manufacturing fault where a simple fix was ignored because it wouldn’t have been profitable. The same can (mostly) be said of NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, SNES, and even TG16/PC Engine.

Beyond that, I expect that 32-bit machines and forward should still work, even if disk rot is affecting the ones that weren’t cartridge based.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Reduce comes first for a reason.

You do not need a PS5. You don’t need a new console - if you need a console at all.
