People talk a lot about “cozy” games, but I don’t think there’s anything cozier than a point & click “hidden object” adventure game.

With how popular these games are, I’m surprised nobody talk about them.

Here’s an example of what I mean.

So I got to ask, do you play them?

@atomicpoet
No, but I'm open to changing that. Any free or cheap recs?

Bypass apps that require Google Play?

I used Avenza Maps in the past for offline navigation at various state parks. The park service provides maps and the app will let you navigate the trails. It’s been a long time since I used it and I now have a new phone on which I never installed the Google Play services. The app is complaining that “check that Google play...

@raineyday That's pretty good.

The other part of that is that sometimes the wood beside the glue is still weak. So, you'll break at almost the same place again.

Almost, but not quite the same place. Being more intentional about the healing (reinforcing the area, for instance) can help prevent that.

    @ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs This is vital. Kids often don't yet know to hug gently, not hug them with a finger in the eye, not step on paws, etc. Sometimes they'll do these things on purpose just to see what happens. Dogs are understandably concerned about these tiny, erratic humans.

    We knew our pup to be a gentle pushover the ~6 years we've had him, but we watched him like a hawk as soon as our daughter was born.

    Dog bites can cause lifetime consequences. Don't take the chance.

    STUDY: Cars are rewiring our brains to ignore all the bad stuff about driving. “A new study reveals how unconscious bias leads us to neglect negative externalities of driving.

    Now that I have a smart phone and I'm listening to audiobooks during my forced commute days, I'm getting through a lot more books.

    I finished Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. It was excellent overall. I have a few minor quibbles, but I definitely enjoyed listening to it.

    It was more of a character study than a detailed post-apocalypse account. I like the themes about the pursuit & survival of art & the overall hopefulness.

    Hoping to watch the miniseries.

    a poll for Free Software enthusiasts specifically

    please only vote if you have strong positive views regarding copyleft licenses for software and cultural works

    Can you name several video games you've played and enjoyed that match this criteria:

    1. The game was first published in 2023 or 2024.

    2. The entire game (all source code, art, music, etc) is freely available under appropriate open source licenses (permissive or copyleft)

    If the answer is "yes", I'd love to hear about them.

    This very much feels like a visibility issue. Of the tens of thousands of games released you quoted, is there any way to tell how many are free/libre/CC?

    Having learned this lesson: there's a certain subset of people who look like us that use civility as a cudgel to keep minorities from expressing themselves, their emotions, or the facts of their oppression.

    "Be kind" gets used in such a way that it actually means "stop being uppity" (with all the dirty baggage included in that phrase).

    American adults! You all now have access to a FREE, 24/7 ON DEMAND TELEHEALTH system for #COVID19 and influenza so you can get prescribed #Paxlovid or anti-flu medications, any time, day or night, that you test positive.

    https://Test2Treat.org

    Anyone in the US who is 18 or older can use the telehealth service to talk to a prescriber if they test positive for flu or COVID.

    AND! As a special service for those who are poor, old, or a veteran, they will also ship you free COVID and flu tests if you want. Sign up in the same system.

    Not ready to talk about Black History. Still talking about white US history.

    Q: Why are Black neighborhoods so often high crime neighborhoods? Must be a lawless people! Violent! Thieves! Predators!

    A: There is no such thing as a "high crime neighborhood." The whole concept is entirely made up based on our notion of what we consider a crime.

    You may be thinking:🤔 Wait... What?! Not true! A high crime neighborhood has more drug use and sales, theft, and even murder!
