Currently re-playing Assassin’s Creed 1 and playing Vanilla WoW for the first time on a private server.

Im remembering how much I liked AC1. I know many people say it wasnt that great of a game, but to me its exactly what an Assassin’s Creed game should be - stalk, plan, stealth, assassinate, escape.

WoW is also really fun. I tried getting into retail a few times over the years but there was just too much. It was way too overwhelming. Vanilla seems to be just right for a new player.

I dont remember the name of it, but you flew around in a blue spaceshit type thing. I think the story involved you being in some futuristic scifi navy/army. One word I can remember being said a lot (i think your wingman or something said it sometimes when you got a kill) is “Casbah”.

Its not a lot but I was very very young, and played it on my uncle’s PC over a summer while I was visiting my relatives abroad. If anyone has even remotely any idea what Im blabbering about please tell me 😂. Ive been occasionally thinking about it for years.

Came here to comment that maybe this feature should be left alone, but you beat me to it OP xD

Yes, but you can for the most part understand ancient greek if you know greek. Ancient greek and greek are similar enough for that. Greek and latin are not.

Greek is nothing like Latin.

Greek is my first language and Ive (tried to) read Latin, unsuccessfully, meaning no words maake sense to me when I view them from the perspective of “this word could have this greek word as a root”

Edit: This should hopefully put a rest to this discussion

Thanks for the detailed reply!

This one:

Also i have bunch more from the artist as my lock screen wallpapers, randomly selected

I use vimium browser extension as I noticed a large chunk of my mouse usage was on the browser.

Anyone else like miserable weather and doesn’t see an issue with the image?

Im trying it out even though its closed source

Progressive Web App.

Its like “installing” a website to your phone kinda. Usually if you open the menu on your mobile browser, if the site supports it there will be an option to install the site to your phone as a web app.

Seems like a very interesting app. Is it open source by any chance?

Thats pretty much what I did :)

Thanks for this reply. Ive installed the site as a PWA and uninstalled the official app. Theres no way I’m either paying or giving them consent for personalised ads.

Loving the username and matrix reference :)

Im reading 1984 right now, i like it so far.

I already do, but i need the app for some things like when they send me posts or stories :/

Beeper is great though

I dont think so (correct me if im wrong). An alternative app might have access to the content etc and get around this paywall somehow.

Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.

As fir my issue with this, im in the privacy community…need i say more? XD

I dont have many photos, but thats not the issue. Its that all my friends are on it, and until I leave after my bachelors and need to have contact with them often im stuck with it. After i leave to a different country once i get my degree itll be easier, but for the next year or so im stuck with instagram because i dknt want to lose contact with them. As most people, they would never leave the mainstream thing behind, so no chance of converting them as well

Actually lemmy was my first introduction to federated platforms. Im still a newbie :D

Ahh i see. Im going to edit my post now to specify that Im looking for an alternative frontend to instagram, such as piped is for youtube. Sadly i have friends on insta that I cant stop using it for now because of

Edit: haha ive heard of it, but its not really what im looking for sadly
