Stupid question maybe, but would your backups even be safe? Sure, it was mentioned that you had to enter your sudo password, but let’s say you did that because you are careless, “rm -rf” would wipe all connected and mounted drives as well, so your backups would be gone, wouldn’t they? Or does Timeshift mount and unmount on demand? If so, what would happen if you ran “rm -rf” while a backup is being saved?! It seems to me that a simple “make backups” isn’t enough here.

Afaik a one-time-purchase to get rid of the ads is planned.

My current favorites are gamecube games (Tony Hawk Games and 007 Nightfire) and Forza Horizon 5. Played quite a bit of minecraft aswell, but I find it hard to be efficient with a controller.

Did you set the Hashtags yourself? Sorry but I find them pretty annoying.

I personally can’t really imagine anything else. Sure, there are melee weapons but controls is hard if you don’t want to go the “click a button and deal damage in a small cone in front of the character” route with them. Imagine trying to come up with a control scheme for a flail. You could control it with one of the analog sticks or the mouse but I don’t think that would be very precise.

Or did you mean you want more games that are like “shooting magic orbs out of your hands”? At the end of the day that would still be guns but with a different “skin”.

This was my main gripe with the API changes. You would have to pay to keep your 3rd party app (even if just a few bucks a month/year) with all the nice features you got used to over the years and still you are effd because you only get a fraction of the posts via your (now paid) app. The blackout won’t change anything. They would never drop the nsfw restriction so even if they reduce the API price you are still effd if you rely on apps or bots that use the API.
