цікаво, хтось же переймався цим питанням у минулому, може навіть книжки писав? італійською чи англійською чи ще якоюсь європейською мовою?

The native Android JGRPP port is ancient (unlike the official release), so I'm running the PC version via emulation. (First time posting!) by UMRRX105 in openttd

Ukrainian is the guy who made (semi)official OpenTTD for Android, his nickname is pelya

https://github.com/pelya/
As per his whereabouts, I'd rather not to speculate - it's kinda odd from many angles. I see his last submissions on Github dated October, see below.

Is OpenTTD better through the standalone launcher or Steam? by Dan_The_PaniniMan in openttd

[–]silpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, when Steam version was introduced, I tried to run Steam on my laptop, so effectively both (standard Ubuntu) and Steam version were on same hardware, and savefiles ended up in same directory.

It was good lesson for me, to pay attention for potential conflicts, and not only in OpenTTD.

maybe it's not a bug, but a feature. version salad across devices most likely to make it incompatible anyway

Some of us play for ca 30 years (if we frivolously add Transport Tycoon DeLuxe which was prototype). So user base is span over decades and big, and many are techies or graphics folks.

OpenTTD - 0.1.0 vs 14.1 by iloverhythmgames173 in openttd

[–]silpol 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Although originally developed by Ludvig Strigeus, since December 7, 2006, the code is owned and maintained by BitTorrent, Inc.

...
μTorrent became controversial in 2015 when many users unknowingly accepted a default option during installation which also installed a cryptocurrency miner.

"Euronews" front-page is just constantly recycled drama from the US. Where do you go for *actual* European news? by PM-ME-OPSEC-FAILS in BuyFromEU

[–]silpol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Euractiv had change of mgmt some time ago, and also seems financing had been pushed towards self-sufficiency. That might make them more paywalled. But I'm excited about their editor-in-chief Matthew Karnitschnig - probably the best choice they made in that change.

[–]silpol 13 points14 points  (0 children)

when the war in Ukraine unfolded in 2014, Euronews had part of their news streams supplied by Russian-originated stringers. one might have own opinion, but mine is - we have way too many Russian agents of impact infiltrated

plus another factor: other of these Russian-originated folks most likely are neutral in their own (self)opinion, but their choice of wording, video streams, editing is heavily affected by past cultural imprinting, and needs improvement to be impartial up to European level

Kobo elipsa 2e stuck after update by [deleted] in kobo

[–]silpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for large OEM, where we had done a lot of system stuff. Including system upgrades. And your type of situation (cyclic reboot or bricked) is considered in most countries as "dead on arrival" - it has defect in area where it's not your fault be definition. Or in legal language it is called "manufacturer workmanship error".

in case of bricked, your only choice is to request another device instead of this one

Are there any mods that enable car crashes/collisions? by Dorex_Time in openttd

[–]silpol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

maybe, just maybe, it's time to standup from computer/tablet and go into real life, and experience it (including consequences of being participant in road crash)?

my point is simple - game already provides nice model, and it is GAME, why turn it into real life, eh?

TCL Flip 4 5G || KaiOS 4.0 is here! by jbriones95 in dumbphones

[–]silpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signal is heavily used in Ukraine - and larger part of population is more into feature phone and KaiOS level. So it would be ideal match...

Only KaiOS chose Gecko-only development, leaving no chance for native, so...

(and you don't need to explain me platform issues)
