You have to pay for electricity and a computer to play the games right, then I guess no games are free if you take it to its logical conclusion.

There are tiers of being free, this game just happens to be on a less-free tier than you think is appropriate for "free". Someone else may argue a game is not free unless it can be downloaded openly on the internet without an account. Your idea of free is no more or less valid than mine

Noone said it was. The GAME is free for members of Amazon prime

If you're on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API débâcle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great

having to do a firmware update on my soldering iron

You don't. It works perfectly fine OOTB. Can't speak for the Pinecil v2 with Bluetooth and the companion app but I have v1 and the software been stable and bug-free enough I've never even given a thought to updating the firmware on it

Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.

Oneplus 7 Pro on release. Amazing phone, great value. Still holds up years later

Thanks for the info! Just struggling to find a suitable tempered glass protector now since the pixel 9s moved to the ultrasonic style fingerprint reader.

Pixel 9? If so, what screen protector did you go with?

Just got one and the screen protector I bought doesn't work with the new style fingerprint sensor, so looking for a known-working brand

Telegram's server side software is closed source, owned and ran by them exclusively so they really have no room to talk. WhatsApp doesn't even have OSS clients so they're even worse in that regard

Here's one I have saved in my shell aliases.

nscript() {
    local name="${1:-nscript-$(printf '%s' $(echo "$RANDOM" | md5sum) | cut -c 1-10)}"
    echo -e "#!/usr/bin/env bash\n#set -Eeuxo pipefail\nset -e" > ./"$name".sh && chmod +x ./"$name".sh && hx ./"$name".sh
}
alias nsh='nscript'

Admittedly much more complicated than necessary, but it's pretty full featured. first line constructs a filename for the new script from a generated 10 character random hash and prepends "nscript" and a user provided name.

The second line writes out the shebang and a few oft used bash flags, makes the file executable and opens in in my editor (Helix in my case).

The third line is just a shortened alias for the function.
