Good as that is, I gotta endorse the Utah Philips version. It comes with context and a story, and also he's hilarious.

Thanks, though I am honor-bound to point out that Sandbox6 has been maintaining YUP for the last several years now. Doing a great job, too.

AFAIK they're not on Lemmy or I'd tell you to thank them more directly. Still!

Also no need to buy a Steam Deck version of that game you bought on Steam ten years ago, it’s already there and probably runs great.

Android could have had this same advantage too, but Google's now pushing this whole framework version check thing.

I didn't check literally every one, but I did a few spot checks and none of them had problems.

That's me. Nevadan to the bone, even if it's the opposite end of the state.

We're not yet at the point where people are huffing drugs made from fermented cow poop, but I feel like that's not as far away as polite society would like us to believe.

Sparks, Nevada. Reno's parasitic conjoined twin.

Good point. For all I know I've got the last viewable copy of "Sodomy Cream Pies" in existence.

Child's Play is my go-to. They provide video games and consoles to hospitalized and often terminally ill children who literally can't go out and play. It was founded by the creators of Penny Arcade back in the early 2000s and so far to my knowledge hasn't had a single controversy or hint of anything nefarious. It's just nerds helping other, young, sick nerds/would-be-nerds get their nerd on.

I mean Doctors Without Borders definitely does more important work on the balance, but giving pediatric terminal cancer patients countless hours of joy isn't a trivial thing either.

I answered that elsewhere, so lemme just cut/paste:

Fair question: I saw they already had a partial spindle of mixed disks for sale. Just the one though, so I couldn't be sure it wasn't a fluke. Turns out it wasn't.

The spindles weren't the only thing I donated, just so we're clear. I just mixed them in with the rest of boxes of stuff, some of it pretty good. Someone can now snag an OG release copy of Bioshock 2 or Doom 3 for a song. Oh, and the entire Half Life Collection.

Almost all FM transceivers that aren't put inline with the actual car antenna are crap. FCC rules limit their broadcast strength severely and even crosstalk from an adjacent FM frequency can be enough to overpower them, or at least seriously disrupt them. Inline transmitters don't have that problem, but at that point you have to pull the radio anyway so you may as well replace it with something that has bluetooth or at least an aux input.

The only time an FM transmitter is a good solution is when you're dealing with things like early 2000s Chevy vehicles, where part of the cruise control module is in the stereo. The best practice for replacing one of those stereos is "add a long wiring harness so you can keep the original stereo hooked up and stashed in the back, then wire the new stereo in to the actual speakers and nothing else."

Seattle, too. As far as I can tell from my time spent there during multiple years of PAX the only thing the Seattle cops do is harass the homeless and local rappers trying to push their demo albums.
