This guy from Peewee’s Big Adventure. I figure because of a bit of resemblance to Vance.

Maybe I can help!

It’s very small by land area, but it’s 18th largest in population. That’s not large, large, but it’s also not a smaller state.

Agreed all on your second paragraph. Thankfully, at least, there’s a step in the right direction happening, belated and incomplete though it may be.

Hey! Would you happen to know the keyboard command to bring up the side panels when in a game in game mode? I know ctrl-1 and ctrl-2 work when outside the game but they don’t appear to work when in a game.

Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.

She must be a graduate!

Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

Nauru is all sorts of fucked up because of their history as a colony leading into mass extraction of their natural resource then leading to them doing a lot of shady shit to maintain their solvency. Granted this is a little bit old now so I may be out of date and I’m no geopolitical expert.

I found the mind share that Apple enjoys makes this kind of inverted when things don’t run right on OSX or iOS whereas android is more in the Windows boat.

I could be wrong but I think at one point the outside sources toggle was just a one time thing and affected all applications.

Is that a rhetorical question? I’ve had a few Apple products mostly in the past or issued to me from when, but I prefer android even when it can be disappointing to me sometimes. Was launching into nandroid via Haret when Windows Mobile devices were a thing too. I don’t prefer Apple stuff but whether it be sincere or perhaps theatrics, it seems like you’ve got an unnecessary and over aggressive revulsion towards them.

It’s interesting you mention Apple because while I have every expectation that you’re correct at the moment, the iPod absolutely benefited from piracy. iTunes allowed you to add your own songs to your library to sync with the device, and iTunes could also be argued to have been on a similar model to Steam because you’d pay to ‘own’ the songs and there was no subscription giving you access to songs.

Is that…a Wii U in on the far right in the thumbnail?

My first wasn’t even an actual android! I had an HTC touch pro running Haret that would reboot the phone into Android. Was so great despite the quirks and bugs since… well Windows Mobile has plenty of that going on anyway.

lol you better not be dead in the next month or so!

I think Adium was, or now that I’m looking at Wikipedia became the OSX(as it was named at the time) implementation of Gaim/Pidgin. Was its own thing but started getting Gaim/Pidgin stuff implemented in it. Trillian, I think, was distinct because it was a closed source commercial product whereas the Gaim/Pidgin/Adium has always been an open source free kind of deal.

Fuck yeah! I was just thinking about this the other day. Like a singular mask for all political communities, one for pictures, etc. Almost how Gaim/Pidgin/Adium/Trillion did for the multitude of competing chat programs back in the day.
