gwildors_gill_slits , to books in Are the James Bond books worth reading?

They’re a lot of fun. Just don’t go in expecting balls to the wall action and goofy one-liners like the movies; as someone else said they’re more spy/detective stories than action adventures. That said, there’s still plenty of action and they do move along at a pretty good clip.

One thing that stood out to me when I went through a period of reading a whole bunch of them is how much they focus on Bond’s likes, dislikes and interests. It’s not just shaken or stirred vodka martinis and Walther PPKs, the books often go into a fair amount of detail about what Bond takes for breakfast, what kind of products or activities he likes and so on.

Binding of Isaac Repentance is my main game at the moment. I’m also trying to squeeze some Need for Speed Underground 2 on the PS2. Gaming is no longer my primary hobby so it’s no more than an hour or two per day. Still, looking forward to the other NFS titles on the PS2. I might try to finish the first Underground and go for 100% on both before moving on.

I’m on VM and not had a problem. Lemmy.world has had some issues over the last few days though, I’ve had to log out and log back in again a few times.

itchy_lizard , to linux in Are packages from flathub always safe?

On the contrary, downloading files from flathub are never safe because it does not verify signatures, unlike secure package manager like apt

Ginjutsu , to android in Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

Aegis all the way, but I’m curious about Bitwarden’s offering. May check it out one of these days.

Empyreus , to showerthoughts in If someone built an anti spam AI bot to answer spam calls the phone lines would just be call centre bots talking to AI bots

Google has a call screening functionality on phones already

pineapplelover ,

All stock pixels have this and I also heard that samsungs also have it too. Also, I think Apple will have it in the next update.

The stock Pixel phone app has this. If you don’t use the stock phone app, you can’t use this feature.

Samsung does not have this

greatley ,

It does, Bixby can answer a call, ask what this is about and transcribe it for the owner so he can the decide if he wants to anwser

dtxer ,

I use it and it’s called Bixby. Thought most spam callers don’t make it after the first phrases.

luthis , to asklemmy in What's the worst company ever. Period.

Bayer. They knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Latin America after the blood was rejected in Europe. This still blows my mind. Some corporate waste of oxygen actually decided to do this. It wasn’t an accident. That guy needs to get stabbed with thousands ten fucking thousand of AIDS needles.

I've seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

I just finished Jedi Survivor. It was a hell of a run, fun, super enjoyable and absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to start the new game + and try to get all the achievements
