  • Rome Total War
  • Anno 1602
  • Stronghold

I suspect I'm driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.

On a general note I would say for the individual consumer it doesn't matter so much if they keep releasing yearly, we just don't have to buy yearly.

It's kind of a waste of resources for the manufacturers supporting more models than necessary. If that leads to shorter support schedules that's when it impacts us. But as you observed they seem to be lengthening at the moment.

I'm currently on a Pixel 6 from 2021, that I bought used from someone who was chasing the latest and greatest. I have no reason for changing yet. After October 2026 when support ends I'll see if I have to migrate to Graphene OS or something. If no secure path forward exists I may have to get newer hardware then.

From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Does what? I don't see anything in the sentences before that "this" could refer to.

I got three, they all seem to work on me, but sometimes I prefer one over the other for no clear reason.

  1. Counting my breath duration. Breath in at normal speed, count how long it is, then breath out slower than that by two or three counts.

  2. Force my thoughts to become disorganised. I do something like free association between concepts and pictures of the inner eye. Common starting point for me is a free flight over a hilly landscape, then random things, woods, trees, rocks, water whatever, I don't try to control anything about the theme. If I start thinking coherently or about something concrete from my life, I just start again, with another nature scene.

  3. Imagine a calm scene. The suggested starting point I was told was floating on an air matteress in an alpine lake (helps that we know those around here, but I'm sure non-alpine lakes work too) and imagine the things you can see uphill as you drift around your axis.

I wouldn't say it's in trouble. It's about to be retired by ICANN. But there isn't any trouble, just standard policy processes.

No shit, after her dating Kate Harrison for a while and them probably even exchanging rings of some sort, this isn't that much of a surprise.

Is he an HPV vaccine skeptic too? Because that wouldn't bode well for the rates of cervical cancer.

My dad told me recently, when he started practicing medicine the old people with heart failures he was treating were often born in the late 1800s, but now those are all dead, and the people he's treating are more likely to have a birth years that are around 1940-1950. Which is also starting to become uncomfortably close to his own, 1960.

Sony has a record of not respecting its workers, users or consumers.

Now they want more userdata and kernel level anticheat. Surely there is no way for this to backfire
