I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

Dad fell for a Microsoft key scam. They were calling him about invalid registration or something. Kept asking for £500.

Stopped calling after my infuriated sister, who was living with our parents at the time, basically bullied the shit out of them on the phone.

I'm not sure about other places, but in mod comments on Nexus it's fairly standard to just reply in your native language and have the other person translate.

You'll often see discussions with one half in English and the other in Chinese, for example.

I don't know where ridoro1 is from, but American cars differ from European cars differ quite a bit in their focus. Here's an image of the two best selling cars in 2022: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWON9QYUUAAGHtd?format=jpg&name=large

 

The presence of the Asian small-clawed otter has been confirmed in Nepal for the first time in over 185 years.

Mongabay News reported that scientists and conservationists have been celebrating the sightings. The Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinereus) is the world's smallest otter. Its existence in Nepal hadn't been confirmed since 1839.

Many feared it was extinct in the area. Sightings were reported in Makalu Barun National Park over the years, but none were confirmed. In November, forestry department officials in Dadeldhura district discovered a juvenile otter. It was in a "fragile and injured state." Officials fed and cared for it, not realizing the importance of finding this critter.

 

The ocean is Earth’s last great mystery, a vast, uncharted world teeming with lifeforms we have yet to encounter. And now, scientists have uncovered a new deep-sea predator lurking in the shadows of the hadal zone—an extreme, inhospitable environment nearly 8 kilometers beneath the ocean’s surface. This recently identified creature, Dulcibella camanchaca, is not just a new species; it belongs to an entirely new genus, revealing an evolutionary branch previously unknown to science.

Just put the whole government in the bin at this point.

Trump is a genuine man-child. He probably doesn't understand half of what he's saying or what it means whatsoever, and why is "wokeness" even taken seriously as a political talking point?

He just does things he's told to do like he has no autonomy, but I guess you can't expect more from Putin's licking dog.

You describing them like some cheeky mythological creature tickles me.

And you don't think randomly shooting people won't lead to retaliation either?

Are you really talking about murdering someone over a can of spray paint?

I am honestly incredibly grateful for the NHS and find it bizarre that anyone can be actively against nationalised healthcare. I can't imagine how many people have died due to simply not wanting to burden their family with excessive bills.

 

I stumbled across Baldur's Gate I & II on the app store today and was strongly considering picking them up as something to do on my tablet. I'm interested in people's opinions on those two, as well as other retro game ports available.

I never actually bothered to consider Android as a platform for retro gaming before, and I currently don't own a handheld console, so I'd love any suggestions people have.
