Lumino City is a beautiful point and click type game that I’m really enjoying. Paid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.noodlecake.luminocity

Messed around for a while and then nothing. Not sure if I’m being AI-averse but i really can’t find good use for it.

Perfect for when you accidentally click on one of their embedded posts. Hurray!

It sounds like Nintendo is not accepting payments from Columbian banks maybe. I’m in a similar situation so i buy gift cards from play-asia.com. if you have another good website for gift cards please share

… Cool reply, thanks. Anyways, I do hope now is the time linux will take off. I recently did the switch myself

Unfortunately these are not a serious threat to them. When it comes to personal desktop / laptop OS market share, linux is in the single digits.

Forget Apple. Without buying any new hardware, i managed to replace Windows with Ubuntu just a month ago. My most hated moment on windows was the time i saw the onedrive ad in file explorer… That felt way too intrusive.

True, thanks 😏

Here is Google showing blatant malicious compliance to their own standards. “You want security notifications for payments made through your account? Have a side of ads with that”. They’ve fallen real low since the days of “do no harm” 😞

Well said and a good reminder to keep our loyalties / fanboyisms in check

I did not mean that they get paid by governments… loss of revenue comes with loss of market share. You’re not likely to pay for Mozilla VPN if Mozilla cannot offer their services in your country.

With the same logic, nothing is stopping people to download firefox from alternative sources 🤷‍♂️ There would be losses in market share (in Russia) had they refused to play along, but now Mozilla spread it’s buttcheeks for governments to impose themselves. Once again, it’s mostly about the money.

Factually correct :) Sony use symbols not letters

How it has not caught on to call it Xitter (Shitter)… I don’t know

it’s greed. whether under a socialist regime, capitalist, communist or other, all it takes to destroy the system is for greedy people in power to force it open by buying judges and politicians. capitalism is in no way a prerequisite.

“Gammy you tool! You used this OS on the internet? You’re such a failure, get out of my face. It’s on you to fix it, and see that it doesn’t happen again.”

No such assumption is made. Ecosia is clear when an entire project fails, and takes into account tree survival rates when they claim to have planted over 200 million trees. It’s all clarified on their website. Regardless of all of that, they take all ad-revenue to reforest and I’d say that’s a better deal than Google or MS.

They’re a non-profit, they plant trees, and they’re carbon negative. So what are they green-washing?

Fair enough. I was using Google + uBlock Origin. I tolerate the ads now on Ecosia and I actually click them when it’s what I was searching for.

OK posting here to address the skepticism, which I completely understand and have been through. Here are some articles that came up when simply searching “is ecosia legit”: Utopia “Ecosia is certainly legit. It’s above board”, Snopes “Ecosia makes money through advertisements on its search engine. While a portion of that money is used to fund the operational costs of the business, about 80% of its surplus revenue is donated to environmental organizations and tree-planting projects around the world.”, GoodGoodGood, TechJunkie and there’s plenty more
