@jonah@lemmy.one you’re alive! Welcome back, this server needs 4 months worth of maintenance!

I’ve tried playing various Zelda games over the years but I’ve just never got into any of them. I’ve just started WWHD and it seems to suffer from the classic Zelda problem of having one very specific solution to a puzzle blocking off all progress, and not telling you at all where that puzzle/solution is if you haven’t already identified it! Also it tempted me with an open ocean of sailing and gave me some side-quest maps to follow, then when I tried to follow them it immediately turned me around and said “you can’t go this way yet”!

They’ve updated their ‘policy’, still with no accrual explanation that I can see:

The admin team updated the communities that they will allow archive links to be used.

No idea what the deleted comment you replied to said, but I’m a big fan of bringing the word “dork” back!

I need all the protection I can get now Big Subreddit are after me!

Technically yes, but if you’re already paying for the thing you actually wanted then it’s essentially a free trial on top of that

It’s a free trial. I don’t know why everyone’s so shocked, they’re essentially giving you one or two free books in the hope that you’ll be hooked and want to pay for more!

Google will be shuddering

Well it is spooky season

Come on man, let that shit die with Reddit!

You can still use them with GadgetBridge if Rebble ever goes away too!

the first good wearable computer ever made

That’s an opinion and a half! People might consider it collectable but they’re not exactly rare.

Use Microsoft Teams for a while and you’ll appreciate how good you had it with Slack!

Ah, I missed the part where you said “Linux”, sorry!

Ah, I missed the part in the OP where it said “Linux”, whoops

Cromite is a fork of the seemingly-abandoned Bromite, which used to be the only browser recommended by GrapheneOS (other than their own Vanadium). It’s relatively new though so I don’t think that much has been written about it for comparison.

Exactly, create your own dopamine rush for completing the challenge, don’t let the machine blue-ball you!

Why? At least some people will want to do them, so if you don’t want to do them then just don’t do them!

TIL there are multiple open street map apps (obvious that there would be now I think about it!)

Clearly I have nothing to add, but thanks for asking the question, I’ll be saving the post and trying out all the answers!

Assuming this is on an android phone with the normal Google Play Services on it then you should expect that Google can theoretically read anything that appears on it. It’s probably not that sinister though, I don’t imagine anything is being sent away and logged (though it theoretically could be!), there’s probably just some process which reads every incoming notification and if it thinks it sounds like a task then it offers you the prompt. Is this some setting you haven’t disabled in Google Assistant?

So if you disable the thing I suggested, there are ads. Then… don’t?

Edit: I misunderstood what you meant
