Chechnya was independent at the time, you know.

Uber “people” or uber eats? Is there a difference in driver experience between the two?

Well yes, pizza delivery guys are pushed into the reckless driving too - some of the most absurd crashes I’ve seen involved them - however there is a big difference in the immediacy of the pushing. There’s a difference between your boss yelling at you to be faster once per day or a week and the app constantly pushing you with realtime feedback and ever changing incentives.

This is too bad, wish you the best. I already had a thought these apps are effectively decreasing safely of the cities for the profit, but haven’t experienced it myself…

1. Well, not really, not in any practical sense. It’s hard to customize it in a sense you can customize a linux distro or desktop environment, it’s hard to script things on Android, it’s hard to access filesystem etc. You have to do everything “android way”, not “Linux way” - the skills you may have from one platform are not transferable to the other.
2. Oh, let me tell you about that. I have an Xiaomi phone purchased about 2 months ago, based on supposedly unlockable bootloader… and I haven’t been able to successfully jump through all the hoops they put in the way of unlock in this whole time. Their support is completely useless, the community is full of people with same issues and no solutions and every unsuccessful attempt at unlock pushes the next one one day or two weeks (!) into the future. Fuck this shit. All I’m asking is ‘sudo’ on a “Linux” computer I bought.

Ha, “bit old” indeed.

It is also currently on sale, for historic low price.

Except I would HATE 1. having the full computer use the Android OS (or ios) 2. Not having full access (administrative / root) rights on my computer, for some vague security handwaving.

Well… I bought a Xiaomi (global) phone on a basis of it being unlockable… And after two months of unsuccessful attempts and useless back and forth with their support, I can only say: fuck Xiaomi too.

Master of puppets! And his puppets.

That’s a fucking Google, an advertising company, for you.

I liked Two point hospital, but feel no urge to try other Two point games.

Don’t forget to compare a consumption too, or perhaps “performance per watt” metric. If plan to run this CPU in a server, this makes a difference in the electricity bill - especially for always on server.

This is very important distinction to be made. Sync is not a backup.

However, you can get 90% there with Syncthing when you enable file versioning or at least trash can for the files.

Ha, what about first person RPGs?

It sound really intriguing, now I want my own Bram Brekelmans!

Is that something like Crowdstrike? ;)

Tell us more.

Personally, I don’t enjoy it much without physical buttons :(

This is the approach I try to also follow. It also makes the process of restoration from the backups or migrating to different server much easier.
