If you don’t use suspend mid game, what do you do? Do you shut the device down in between gaming sessions? Or do you just save and exit the game and suspend the OS level?

It doesn’t. I’m not really interested in multi-player games of any kind. Partly because I don’t have the time to git gud, and partly because my gaming interest is primarily getting lost in a narrative world.

In my 30s I was pretty sure I had come to terms with my eventual death. Then I contracted a serious virus that caused my body temperature to begin dropping rapidly. That combined with an intense nausea led to a direct and unmistakable confrontation with mortality. I was not ready and I was terrified. I experienced the visceral knowledge that I was on the precipice of losing everything I knew or cared about. I was, and remain, humbled by death. Because of that experience I tend to be skeptical when others say they are prepared for death.

I remember when that flip clock widget was everywhere. You couldn’t get away from it. I think those originated from HTC.

How can you see what has been blocked?

Great point. Lemmy and Mastadon look more like an effort to claw back the web of open access and decentralization from VCs, grifters, and the like.
