Looks Cheaper than any option I saw here in the UK, but also way more expensive than just using a mobile phone.

I’ll panic buy tasty snacks to power my bike ride.

They can track my phone, not me. I don’t need it on me at all times. I almost considered a landline but they cost a fortune so I decided against it.

Factorio. This game is, wait, is that the sunrise?

People are unlikely to get a dog if they expect to die soon, or are generally unhealthy and unable to walk it which is also more likely if you are going to die within 10 years.

It took longer than I expected, but Humans need not apply is becoming more and more relevant. Interesting that he thought it would be the transportation sector first that sees significant job losses. Instead that still hasn’t really taken off yet at scale and its the later predictions that we are now seeing.

What do we do when large sections of society are unemployable through no fault of their own?

Overcooked is great, they have good tastes.

From the Depths can be, it costs materials so you need to take it into consideration when building. If you design it well it should be fine but designed poorly you can easily run out of materials for supplying your guns with ammo. Or even run out of fuel.

Also got games like escape from duckov where you need to buy/make/loot every single shot.

I wonder how would be best to make games now that run easily in a browser with very low specs. I know you can just use JS straight in the browser for some types of games but it isn’t really something I have looked into much.

Plenty of games have ammo costs in some way. But a lot I can think of miniguns are one of the smaller weapons.

From the Depths, a minigun is often a secondary weapon. Missiles cost a fair bit more.

Might be time to make more browser games again. Doesn’t have to be complex. Ohhh… If you get some old flash games, those might even run fairly well on a pi zero. And when they ban non ID verified internet we can trade games on SD cards.

For £500 you are doing a lot more than pong. I am kinda curious how far back you have to go at different price points to play the majority of games from that era. Pretty sure £500 is still doing a lot of games 10+ years old.

Retro gaming on a Pi comes in at £50 or so, depends on which one you get though as more RAM does cost more. Downside here is ARM might limit your options a bit for some things not quite so old but it probably would otherwise be powerful enough for. Box86 + wine exists but that looks too much like 2010 Linux gaming that I would rather leave in the past. Some open source games could be compiled on it too.

Pi Zero could run a few games too and that is like £15. But your choices are going to be very limited for anything beyond retro gaming. CDDA should compile and technically run, slowly. Got a pinephone which has similar specs and can do it but compiling takes about an hour and I found out the game had loading screens I wasn’t even aware of before trying to run it on specs like that.

The question was about “how bad” though, and deaths are pretty bad. We wouldn’t ban restaurants if 99% served delicious food and 1% served slop.

Well they say any landing you walk away from is a good landing, but clearly bad landings are considered disastrous enough that flying while drunk is banned.

Every city can become car free if you scatter enough tyre spikes on the roads…

You can set your browser to delete cookies on exit automatically, I do that and just set a few exceptions to the few I actually want. The list is very short.

Correct, you need planing permission to live there and if the land has that it will cost a lot more than I can afford.

I would be allowed to buy it and put the cabin there, up to a certain size anyway. I could even sleep in it a few times. But living there is illegal. You can only stay overnight 28 times a year.

Glad I have nothing to do with funding oil wars.

Hit a family and leave the kids permanently disabled and orphaned, that’s going to cost a bit.

Or who is going to pay for their healthcare if not your insurance?

Terrible idea. But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, which is something I feel often gets left out. You have loads of people dismiss the idea entirely because surviving on your own is going to be awful. Sure, having to grow EVERYTHING you eat is pretty difficult and you have no safety net. But there is a middle ground between completely abandoning society and living in the middle of a modern city.

Perhaps I would be happy in my cabin out in the country side, growing some herbs and higher value crops. But still work 1 day a week to buy all the potatoes, oats and firewood that I need. Along with having some money for infrequent purchases of tools and materials. Problem with that in the UK is that while land I would like to do it on exists and I could afford to build the cabin and everything, it would be illegal for me to live there. Its possible to get away with it for a while, people do. But people have also had their land taken from them by the local government when caught.
