Same, I prefer to use a VPN everywhere. It would be nice to get away from straw polls and use polls directly from the Fediverse. PieFed and Mastodon allow for polls like this, but Lemmy still doesn't support it just yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/787
I've played a few of them, but I loved playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC) the most. My favorite was playing as Gaia's Stepdaughters since you could quickly get control of the planet's "mind worms" which were units that would never go obsolete.
I didn't see it listed out, but cartes.app has been the best Google Maps alternative that I've found. It has a familiar interface and features that Google Maps users are used to.
It's open source and uses data from OpenStreetMap.
Additionally CoMaps is great for offline maps driving/directions.
Instead of recommending OpenStreetMap.org, I would suggest Cartes.app as the Google maps replacement (uses OSM data). It contains most features that Google Maps users are used to and will feel familiar to them. OpenStreetMap is more of the backend for mapping apps rather than a direct replacement for Google Maps.
Cartes for most features (satellite view, reviews, shareable links that work for anyone, etc.) and CoMaps for offline/driving directions.
This is happening on the mobile version of Edge where users are being offered a referral scheme. If you can get a friend to switch to Edge via a referral link, you'll receive 500 Microsoft Rewards points (with the ability to accumulate up to 7,500 points per month if you're feeling ambitious).
You can redeem a $5 gift card for Microsoft for 5,500 points, or a $5 gift card for Amazon for 6,500 points.
So basically they're giving you $0.39 - $0.45 per referral with a maximum of $5.77 - $6.81 per month.
There's no point acting all surprised about it. The plans and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning office in Alpha Centauri for over 50 of your Earth years. If you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that's your own lookout.
On the play store, it's usually possible to download old apps even long after they're no longer offered.
In the play store:
Click on your User icon -> manage apps & device -> manage
Then change the "This Device" selection to "Not Installed" and scroll to whatever app you had installed at one point.
Interesting, but I don't think this allows mods to customize a community's HTML in the way that I have seen done on reddit (custom backgrounds, upvote/downvote icons, etc).
The animated ones are also really cool:

True, that's still going to impact performance, even on Linux. It would be great if they had a plan to just strip it out after so many years.
Rate limit exceeded... sounds like reddit has a new limit as to what actions can be taken within a set period of time.
Some potential ideas:
If you're using a VPN, then they are counting up for every action taken by every user of that same VPN server.
If you're not using a VPN, then maybe your ISP has rolled you over to a new IP address that was previously used for bot traffic.
Or maybe it's rolled over and the old IP address is now being used for bot traffic, and they're associating that with your account somehow.
Looks like it runs fine on Linux, though: https://www.protondb.com/app/2369390
I'm guessing it's not a Samsung.
There might not be GamePass exclusives yet, but Amazon's Luna has exclusives such as the Batman: Caped Crusadar Chronicles game.
I sure as hell am never going to give him up.

Sounds like layoffs are incoming.
When gaming, what's the advantage of p2p VPN servers vs normal ones?

Same thing for castles/forts in Portugal.

Lemmy might not support this, but PieFed does (without the need for a browser extension). There are some instructions here on setting it up:
https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/developer_docs/09_Theming_Guide.md
The custom CSS/JS/Jinja needs to be submitted and approved first, but then a moderator could add it to the community as the official theme.

PieFed supports this, it would be great to see Lemmy support it natively as well.
