The gray fur may commes from a Russian Blue, while still being considered a "domestic shorthair". That race is just a way for a vet to say "I have no idea", due to not corresponding to all the race traits, without looking like a fool. 😂

Mine was one too, here is a picture near his litter sister.

Both are domestic shorthair, but from different fathers.

You may also like Coffee Talk (1 and 2). Good story, the characters are likable, and it works with controllers, so you can play it on the go with a Deck or anything similar.

Should probably be posted on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world too.

For those who wonder, yes, this is OK according to the community rule 6.
Talking about piracy is OK. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.

Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.

Sky is a really good cozy game. And it is also available on PC, and works perfectly on the Steam Deck (with HDR).

This an an interview with Ross Scott and Steve from the GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy side channel.

"We got together with Ross Scott of Accursed Farms to discuss the Stop Killing Games initiative that he is presently spearheading. The Stop Killing Games initiative aims to preserve games in a reasonably playable state even after the game's publishers and/or developers abandon it, helping ensure consumers keep some level of what they have paid for rather than having all access revoked and the game destroyed."

I keep my boxes in two cases : the warranty is still valid, or the thing is fragile and has a form that make it hard to find a replacement for (usually large and fragile flat things, like screens).

All the other are waiting to be thrown away, in my garage.

Hold my cat, I'm going in! Or out, I don't know...

Could also have been the other way around.

Fairphone removes the headphone jack > realize they would need an alternative > realize most TW headphones are e-waste to be > make their own with ~~blackjack and hookers~~ a removable battery, making it a solution to TW headphones with non-removable batteries.

Don't call fool without any proof, or you'll have a very sad life supposing the worst from anyone you'll meet. Coincidence is no proof of causation.

I'm voluntarily exagerating my point here for irony sake.

My needs isn't more important than anyone else, but I wanted to point out the selfishness of the oposite point of view by making mine as selfish. Those in favor of keeping a jack port voluntarily choose to ignore any alternative, while trying to force their need on other people.

But it is true I do not want that port back. It is redundant, has no advantages over a dongle, and it inconveniences could easily be overcome by simply adding a second usb-c port. No need for internal DAC, you'd be able to do far more than you'll ever be able to do with a 3.5mm jack, and you'll be able to charge it while listening to your music with a wired headphone. All that with a smaller and more flexible port.

And it would take you 5min searching the web to get good review about usbc DAC with actually good sound, even better than any internal DAC.

But to save you a click, you have the Apple one, which has good review while being able to drive almost all headphones but the most energy intensive of them. It cost a whopping... $10.

As for the precise number, you can find them on market studies. Unfortunately they are quite pricy, and as I'm not in that field, I do not have access to them. But Fairphone does, and if they don't bother adding that port back, they are most probably basing their decision on them.

Problem is BT headphones last 2 years then they go in the garbage because the batteries are dead. How eco-friendly is that!?

My 7 years old bluetooth headphone would disagree.

It is. We had it on phones since before the original iPhone. No one wants to take that away.

And no one except a vocal minority want to keep it. There are a lot on data on that, and manufacturer make their decision on that data.

But lets ignore that, and let's take my viewpoint as a customer. I don't want a port I have no use for. I don't want a DAC I have no use for. I don't want the extra weight that comes with them.

My needs conflict with yours, so what's the only way to make both of us somewhat happy? That's by making the 3.5mm jack an addon, which is what any manufacturer that does not focus on music listening would do.

Hi everyone.

It has been a while since last community update, as the old moderation team mostly vanished, and I was for a while the only moderator still active. A lot happened since then, and it is time to get the community back running at optimal pace.

New moderators

First, I'd like to welcome two new (temporary) moderator, that will help me moderating while we reform the community and examine permanent moderator applications.

  • u/JonsJava : You may already know him as the moderator of !gaming@lemmy.world, a video game focused community
  • u/fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com (and its moderation alt, فكسومت مدمر العوالم, aka u/modfxomt)

If you wish to help moderate this community, feel free to PM me in order to candidate to be a moderator for this community.

Sidebar rewrite

I took some time to rewrite the sidebar to better reflect the community evolution.

I added two new section:

  1. "Authorized Regular Threads", which are allowed to be post on a regular basis as long as they respect the rules
  2. "Related communities", which contains links to other games related communities. Feel free to PM me to add more of them

I also added links to a git repo to each rule, which point to the current ruleset. Currently all of them points to the same root anchor, but in the near future, every rule will point to their specific section. This will allow to give a lot more detail, as well as examples, without polluting the sidebar.

Community contribution

As a community, I'd like to encourage users to participate in the community. We are not meant to be monolithic, like Reddit was, and we'd like to offer the community the way to better itself, according to its own rules, not some corporate greedy interest.

As such, I'd like to offer you all way to make it your own, with a more democratic approach to moderation. In the following weeks, I'll post multiple topics about it, from which we will collectively amend our rules to better fit its collectively defined purpose.

This will be done in multiple steps :

  1. First, we will open a discutions on current rules, in which we will be able to discuss about them, suggest improvements, and maybe create new rules
  2. The rules will be then internally rewritten in order to respect the community wish while still following LW rules
  3. The new rules will be individually put to vote. If the total is positive, the rule is adopted, if not, the rule will be bought back in a new discussions/amendment topic, until it reach consensus

Best regards,

u/Dremor

Edit 1 : I continued my work on the sidebar, feel free to give me your feedback on it.
