in my country the generic package pickup points will want to see your ID card and write it up. they may also check if it's the same as the recipient but I'm not sure about that

this page says so: https://www.mobygames.com/game/

after sending that comment I noticed that I can also just browse by platform, but those lists are limited to 6 pages :/ see the notice at the bottom below the page switcher: https://www.mobygames.com/platform/win3x/year:1995/page:5/

well I actually know neither. I have very slight memories of it. I think I was using windows XP at the time. the game, as I remember, was a bit like those physical fidget games today, in that there was no story (or I didn't understand it yet) or any kind of goals (that I could understand?). there were multiple different locations in the game, one of them us a kitchen similar to this one, but I'm not sure if I could regularly walk across them, or just click on doors or something to move to another location.
given that I couldn't yet read at the time (I think), I have no memories of its title or the desktop icon, or at least I wasn't able to recall it in any degree for a long time.

I expect that back then there were much fewer games released in a given timespan than today, but I don't even know where could I see even a list of them that I could go through.

edit: just checked mobygames, now I see this is a database like I mentioned. I'll check this, thanks!

edit 2: oh well, it requires a registration and a subscription to browse the games database..

I have also experienced your first problem. It's probably that the game bugs out in some way. apparently gamescope helps to fix it, bit I wasn't able to get it to work on an nvidia based system.

touchscreen use?? what health risks does it have? I can only think of brainrot, but that's not due to touchscreens, but to specific parts of the internet

I have a similar convertible device, and it's almost good with KDE. KDE components switch to a layout with more whitespace and bigger icons so they are easier to touch, and some KDE programs like the file manager also opens a special menu on long press on files that is an easier to use version of the right click menu.

firefox also handles it well, I can easily scroll a page with momentum, but I can also select text.

my device also has a plastic pen (no buttons or battery in it), and linux knows to ignore touch input when the pen is near the screen so that I can rest my palm on it while writing.

but a major pain point is that so far I haven't found a real touch keyboard. there is Maliit, which is much harder to build locally than other programs, and if you get it to work it is hard to use. then there is squeakboard, but last time I was looking into it that depended on wayland protocols that were not implemented yet in KDE's compositor

this kitchen reminds me of a game that I played relatively lot as a little kid, around 2005 or so, probably even before I learnt to read because I don't remember its name at all.

how do you even start to find such games again?

and not WD either

afaik the expiration just puts the unspent amount back to your bank account (because you still need one with taler), so that can be an advantage if you lost your wallet.

but that other point is very concerning. what's the point then?

I expect it'll even run better

first I read "AI Qaida", but maybe there's something to that too

"military grade encryption" lol. this forum's website uses military grade encryption, just like every other site (AES through the use of TLS). and monero is not finite supply, isn't it? that's a weird article

 

I cannot access the I2P site on the http://rwzulgcql2y3n6os2jhmhg6un2m33rylazfnzhf56likav47aylq.b32.i2p/ address, either in the web browser but also for news and price synchronization in the wallet. Is this on my side or a serverside issue? In the browser, the I2P router always just responds "Website Unreachable", because its lease set was not found.

For those wondering where did I get the URL, it can be found at the bottom of https://featherwallet.org/

 

Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea.
The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.

The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future.
This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.
