My Dad had an Amstrad that you had to lift the cover up and put your hand on the 3.5 floppy dribe to make it work. We had a game called 'Magic Carpet' or something. Later we got a Windows 3.5 computer back when it booted to DODS amd you ran Windows from a command. I remember playing Prince of Persia and a game called 'Cosmos Comic Adventures'

Car sickness while eating a blueberry nutrigrain bar and now I can't eat anything with cooked blueberries. I used to love eating blueberry muffins.

"Whether you agree with this logic is irrelevant; this is the reasoning manufacturers use for restricting aftermarket parts and labour."

Isn't this this the point of this community? To say we don't agree with this reasoning, whether locking people out of repairs is a good business model or not, it's one that some people don't agree with.

Why stop there. Can we stop letting people fight even if they want to?

Well that might be a game changer for me. Lack of Android Auto stopped me using Graphene in the past. I hope it's reliable.

Seems reasonable to change your first name to make your life more convenient, but unless people encounter these names, they'll never used to saying them.

In the UK it takes knowledge to know how to pronounce Irish names but one you've met a few Siobhans and Eoins you get used to it.

There is an element of historical oppression here though. Some people choose to use an Irish spelling because, well, the English keep trying to erase other cultures. That example didn't work out as well as I thought it would.

They chose not to after researching options. Pretty sure they decides account portability was a key feature needed and AP doesn''t do this. As in taking your account and all your posts and data witj you to a new server. I assume there is a technical reason why this would be very difficult to add to AP/Mastodon otherwise they could have just added it themselves.
