Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?
  • Beleentoro Pro might be something for you. Basically a chill factory game, which I enjoyed for a long time. Other games by the developer Yiotro might be worth a look too.
    There are also free versions of most of their games available, with ads iirc (not sure, has been a while). But if you don't want the ads: the pro versions are really cheap. One time purchase for everything.

    Another idea I have a puzzle game called: Mekorama by Martin Magni. The last time I played you got an option to pay what you think the game is worth at the end of the game. But you don't have to.

    Mini Metro by Dinosaur Polo Club is also really good, but comes with a purchase.

    If you like tower defense, Bloons TD 6 by Ninja Kiwi is a must have. Comes with a purchase and has the option of microtransactions for cosmetics, but you can get those by playing as well. More importantly, it's tons of fun.

    In case you've got a Netflix subscription, check out their games. They have lots of games in their repertoire which you would have to buy if you went through the App/Play stores. (Bloons TD 6 should be included there for example.)

    Edit: corrected Bloons TD 5 to Bloons TD 6.

  • Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web
  • Yes. Exactly. Although there isn't much left worth stealing from Microsoft.

    (This was a low-key "Microsoft bad, Linux supreme", comment.)

    (And now it's no longer low-key.)

    (I'm using a touch-screen keyboard for writing this. And yet I can't open my doors using the keyboard. Ever wondered why that is?)

    (Correct, because I forgot my keys at home and didn't put them on my keyboard.)

    (Now it's just a –board.)

    (Oral diarrhea over. Go get some guhd Linux!)

  • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.
  • Yes yes. Let's continute to use energy sources which are limited in terms of available but necessary resources and cause highly problematic by-products. It has been going on so well so far. Hasn't it?

  • The mask ban shit is unreal.
  • Similar story with my wife. She had cancer and should not catch something as serious as Covid. So, everytime we are among a lot of people, ecpecially in places with bad ventilation, we wear masks.

    I haven't kept count how many times we were talked to about that. The amount of conspiracy mythics among them was rather high. And not always were people polite.

    This is really idiotic. As if even other diseases, which required such precautions, haven't existed before. Too many stupid people around.

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • They literally said:

    Perpetual growth in a finite system is impossible

    I don't see how your comment applies to that.

    Knowlegde growth may be sustainable, but it is also impossible to grow forever. (Supposing knowlegde is finite, which is, as far as I see it, the case as long as we make the definition of knowledge depend on characteristics like repition-free and new. For example, you could learn the number pi to even longer lenghts forever, but doing that is not necessarily something new to know as it's just a manifestation of a repition which was already discovered.)

    I'm intrigued how you would explain that economies could grow independently of resources. From my perspective, it looks a lot like each and every form of economy relies somehow on some form of resource or resources. As resources are finite, economies can't grow forever.

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)
  • Or Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or any other major religion.

    But no, suddenly I am the maniac for believing that – in reality – we are pink elephants, hopping on the moon and imagining life as we believe it to be true. No one can prove I am wrong. But uh oh, sky grandpa mad.

    (/s I don't believe anything. Just making a sarcastic point.)

  • Add option which prompts the user whether they want to discard a comment which was not sent

    I have typed a longer comment before and then accidentally pressed the "back" button on my smartphone before I posted it. The comment was sadly lost and the time I invested was wasted.

    I haven't seen an option, which I could enable, such that Jerboa would show me a prompt whether I really want to go back, if I haven't posted the comment yet.

    Did I miss it? If not, feel invited to see this as a feature request. (:
