Snap is a steaming pile of excrement. So much of the crap on the Snap Store is obsolete and out of date. Anyone and their monkey can post a snap on snapcraft, and.. they do. Canonical is just as bad. They took it upon themselves to package up a lot of commercial-level open-source software 3 or 4 years ago... and then have done fuck all with it ever since. Zero updates to the original snaps they put there in the initial population of the Snap store (yes they do maintain a select few things, but only a small percentage of the flood of obsolete software in the Snap store). The result is people looking to install apps who poke the Snap store, go "oh hey, the application I want is there", install it, and then get all pissy with the vendor... who looks about in surprise wondering how a potential customer managed to find such an old version (happened with at least 2 of my employers, and I've come across many more). Go search Reddit (or Google) for obsolete snap discussions. There's no shortage people pointing at the same issue.

There are inexpensive EVs...BYD makes some decent low cost EVs. They're already in use as taxis in Montreal and IKEA delivery in Vancouver. The consumer versions are apparently coming in Canada... Just not yet. They are avail in Australia already and in Europe too.

A not insignificant number of people earning more than $90k have at least some dental benefits through their employers. Covering the most needy first is the best way to implement this program.

You're not the target market for FF16 then.

Have you EVER traveled anywhere overseas? A simple comparison... Amsterdam vs Vancouver (I've lived in both cities). Vancouver transit is absolutely terrible in comparison, and the Dutch have to deal with swampy ground and water everywhere. Amsterdam has trams, buses, trains (local and long distance), and glorious cycle paths EVERYWHERE. The city is pedestrian friendly too... Vancouver is just a generic typical north American city built for cars and little else.

Have you tried to get in through the bonkers immigration system though?

It's a mess... a massive mess. It favours people who know how to abuse the system. TFWs are exploited and worked like slaves while high skilled immigrants who would contribute in big measurable ways - like doctors - are blocked at every turn. I personally know 4 doctors who all tried to come to Canada. None can get in... they can't get the mandatory residency positions because they are full up with many many many more people wanting a spot than are made available... meanwhile Canadians are literally dying in the clinic queues because we don't have enough doctors.

For me it's pretty much any FPS in solo mode. I don't enjoy the rage inducing behaviour of the NPCs that have perfect aim and can one-shot me from across the map... or that overwhelm me in a flood of mobs that double or triple the amount of ammo I can find. God mode all the way so I can enjoy the storyline and map design. I've played HL2 start to finish about 10 times.. on god mode and loved it. If I play it standard mode.. I will NEVER finish it. I don't have the time or the twitchyness left in my reactions (I'm old) to dedicate to mastering the millisecond response times.

I did the same with Black Mesa. It's a stunning re-imagination of the HL story. There's ZERO chance I'd have played it to the end without "help".

That said, I play other games in much harder modes... Civilization... Batteries not Included... Kill All Humans... and so on are played in at least "normal" mode.

MMORPGs... played as intended. No need for easy modes.

So I guess it depends a LOT on the game?

I tried 3 years ago. Wasn't possible. It's F only.

Edit. I was wrong. Turns out I CAN switch my oven to C. I didn't poke the settings enough.

Talking.. sometimes. Actively doing the thing they talk about.. nope.

That won't go on your favour. That will go VERY badly.

Yes... 13+ years on Reddit on my main account (different name than my Lemmy account), and it's gone. I've deleted all my posts and thousands of replies. I was active in several communities, including the Linux and open-source communities.

I used a script to edit my post history and replace my posts with random text, and then after a waiting period, delete the posts entirely. It took a couple of days to sift through it all. Then once I was down to zero posts... deleted my account.

That's what I do.
