overview for PhobosAnomaly

I miss my BlackBerry phones. The Titan range was cool but buggy as well. If they could just do a Nothing phone with a QWERTY keyboard, I would literally buy one overnight.

Have you ever had a shave in a barber shop or spa? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

In fairness, I always ask for a really straightforward clippers cut which even Stevie Wonder would find remarkably difficult to fuck up.

Nah the barber I use is sound as fuck. Happy to throw about witty banter, but equally happy to shut up and do his thing when I'm just about asleep.

As pleasant as that looks, it matters not to me.

I ask my barber for the "full works", sit back, and close my eyes for half hour listening to whatever generic chilled dance playlist he's got going on YouTube. It could be a dude, a woman, or anything in between, it doesn't matter.

When he slaps my shoulders and says "ok boss, what do you think?", that's my cue to get up and leave.

It's my brief moment of indulgence every other month or so. Bliss.

If the designated driver goes rogue, then it's on them to pay the taxi fare home.

Expensive (probably) but simple.

Link handling (feddit.uk)

Any chance the way in which links are handled could be amended? I've not seen the Summit design docs but it appears as though when a user clicks a link, a dialog box appears and the app tries to preview the link, before the user can continue onwards.

In this instance, it would appear that the preview call has failed in some fashion, and does not allow the user to proceed with either copying or opening the link - both buttons are unresponsive.

Any chance the previewing can be interrupted with a "Open Anyway" or "Force Open" button, with perhaps a first-time-only warning stating that only trusted links should be blindly opened?

Cheers!

Building Pokémon Blue save games (feddit.uk)

So..

...even though the battery light was a bright red, I saved the game and it crashed. Now the save is predictably in a broken format and can't be read (at least without extra hardware).

I was rather enjoying my 10hr game, just before the SS Anne and grinding my 'karp to a Gyarados, with a recently evolved Sandslash.

I can see that there are save editors for use, but does anyone know if there are save builders - that put you in a particular location at a particular level with progression flags automatically set to your point in the story?

I can't say I'm big in to Pokémon lore - my introduction to the series was with Go - so some of the intricacies are beyond me but I'll faff with editors if I need to and import them into an Android emulator if it comes to that.

Thanks in advance!
