  • Breakout71

    I could not believe I didn’t find this fun free gem sooner. I’ll let the description from F-Droid explain the details:

    This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula: The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels. Coins appear when you break bricks. They fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your paddle. At the end of the level, you get to pick upgrades. There are 50+ different upgrades that impact the gameplay in various ways. Many upgrades will impact your combo, that’s the number of coins spawned for each brick broken. Your “combo” is displayed on your paddle. Your score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Oh, and don’t miss the ball, you don’t have extra lives.







  • Yes. This was what made me stop paying for streaming.

    Yes, I guess, as a Linux user I could probably steal their stuff more easily than some others. (?) Or maybe just because I know how my computer works.

    But - I have better things to do with my time.

    I have indicated this to the streaming providers, using money, which I paid them, each month.

    I believe that this is an easy way to tell me apart from pirates, who I understand did not pay for the streaming services each month.

    But since the streaming services stopped delivering quality working streams to my devices, I no longer pruchase their streaming services.

    Now I am enjoying my ancient DVD and VHS collection until streaming services stop sucking.



  • I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

    In fairness to them, I get a new email every month or two from Microsoft letting me know that they merged another account that I didn’t ever ask them to.


  • makes me worry what I’ll be like when i need some young whippersnapper so that I can pay via personal, irrational, conditional thinking.

    Sometimes I share this fear.

    But then I think - I’m on Lemmy, so I think “I’m still hip to new jazz.”

    But then I remember that Virtual Reality will (probably) be commonplace someday, and something somewhere will require it - and I know in my heart that I’ll complain loudly about it before, during, and after I (demand that my grandchild) use it (for me).
