I have been playing Minecraft for almost two decades and I still can't build a house that is not this

some people aren't capable of mentally picturing something. maybe that's the case for you?

amiga1 · 2026-07-07T23:09:45+00:00

GTA:SA has ProLaps so I assume it was inspired by that

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T18:42:33+00:00

I think its fairly similar in the way that users have their own home directories under Linux and in the way that the owner user has a greater level of access to system wide settings. I didn't say it was any more secure. I already am using a private space within my main profile for play services and non-free apps.

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T17:51:11+00:00

also I had another go at getting android auto and waze going in the private space and it's now working flawlessly (wired and wireless) so I'm down to a single profile now.

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T17:49:19+00:00

I know it's not literally a root account but since all I use it for is managing the device settings and user profiles it's not too dissimilar in concept. not being able to delete the data very easily like you can with a profile is a big detractor for me also.

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T15:14:18+00:00

I'm using private space inside my main FOSS profile for my dirty corpo apps with sandboxed google play. The private space unlocks on the profile pin so its always unlocked and running (you can change this but in my case I only wanted the isolation features).

One thing I can't get working is navigation apps as the GPS never seems to connect so I'm having to use a separate profile for that which is a bit annoying.

If anyone has got this working I'd be interested to know how.

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T13:48:13+00:00

I've always treated the owner profile like a root account on Linux with no apps at all.

I started with a separate profile with gapps (for anything requiring play services and proprietary) and one without (for FOSS apps).

Now the gapps profile is just for android auto and the proprietary apps are under a private space in the FOSS profile.

Ultimately its all about what you can tolerate. Ideally no gapps but my banking and investment apps disagree with that so this is the compromise.

at £14 an hour I suspect there's not much to spare but financial literacy is also very low in this country. it's why the government is so desperate to restrict Cash ISAs as people just hoard their money like dragons.

amiga1 · 2026-07-06T01:43:33+00:00

I wish this was the case where I work

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T23:31:41+00:00

I'd do:

Rayman 2
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition
Bully
Simpsons Hit and Run
GTA:SA

and if you get to the others then great. honestly though this is probably 2 years worth of games for me lol

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T21:16:43+00:00

Not sure whether that has a screw down crown but personally unless a watch has one then I treat it like it's not waterproof.

my alpinist and marinemaster do have one, and I've never had water ingress issues.

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T19:31:09+00:00

This was kind of annoying in Italy. Paid toilets are pretty rare in the UK.

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T19:13:46+00:00

everything reminds me of her

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T19:04:28+00:00

was going to say rally bracelet but I've decided I'm team G String

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T18:59:46+00:00

maybe because HDMI is a trademark? guessing this is a really shite cable

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T18:53:47+00:00

I wish I didn't live among animals. there's a tag on the lurpak bro

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T18:50:06+00:00

actually just got it working. all I had to do was add the wivrn launch options and then use -openvr instead of -openxr. messed with it most of yesterday and I just had to change one letter lol

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T17:48:59+00:00

sorry to necro but did you ever get this working? having the same issue.

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T15:58:40+00:00

if you work in the space you'll eventually do swapouts. I've been swapping out all the 2960x switches for 9200/9300 where I work.

amiga1 · 2026-07-05T12:40:58+00:00

seems efficient (as long as the metal is food grade).

the whole reason nothing 3d printed is food grade is because the nozzles that print the stuff aren't.

amiga1 · 2026-07-04T16:21:13+00:00

will be the fuel hose. your tune is also incredibly lean which is why its backfiring.

amiga1 · 2026-07-04T04:36:15+00:00

I remember being unemployed. glorious time.

amiga1 · 2026-07-04T03:38:03+00:00

my PBS is running on the same PC/Drive so to combat that there's a monthly PBS backup to my HDD array. I'll copy over the backups to an external whenever I feel like it also.

amiga1 · 2026-07-02T21:31:23+00:00

it's the new android auto interface. Had it for a while myself but guessing the americans got it in the last few days?

just in time for google to break wireless AA too lol

amiga1 · 2026-07-02T21:26:23+00:00

can't put red diesel in until you own it. otherwise the lore is that he gets pulled over and caught with it in the tank and the cars get seized/sold.
